This notion that nominees are forced on anyone is tinfoil.

If that is true, could you then explain to me why the MSM states that no candidates exist in the race that appeal to the conservative base....when there clearly is an they just don't want to talk about them?

The Presidency is just too dangerous a position to give to a sick person.

I hadn’t even thought about Rudy and McCain having cancer. Now I have two reasons each to not vote for them.

I can just hear the clicking of Pelosi’s high heels.

I don’t know. But I’m guessing you’re pulling 100% for the media’s choice again this time.

You’re always the one who starts it, then tries to act like you’re the innocent victim.

Is that a macro, because you post it every single time you post to me; and YOU post to me; I never post to you because you are so utterly useless it's a waste of time.

I remember the miers thread where you first pulled that on me.

You're a one trick pony. And boring as hell.

Are you just trying to see how much you can get away with before you’re banned?

Is that some kind of threat? You seem to think you have some pull here that can get me banned; give it your best shot, punk.

And you ARE a punk. Always have been, always will be.

Another freeper who doesn’t know how to trace back posts. My post mentioned that this was all when Reagan was Governor of California. Keep up with the posts already :-)

Of course an old crow like you probably doesn't find a whole lot to laugh about.
I'm laughing at you.


Awww, you're too kind, and I'm just getting started!

I like Alan Keyes, and usually agree with him on the issues. I do not agree with his proposal for black reparations AND he makes a terrible candidate.

He WAS a good spokesperson for the conservative cause. But his last campaign significantly damaged his credibility.

Is there some new rule I missed tonight about people who support one candidate not being allowed on other candidate’s threads?

You people are turning into worse locksteppers than damn liberals.

Excuse me, but have you read the posts to Howlin? Take a look at the last two pages, and you might notice some pretty hard core venom spewed her way.

She's just reaping what she's been sowing.

Any luck on your other 'search'?

Is there something wrong in my statement above?

I would like a statement from you that genuine conservatives, in working through the important issues of our day, can disagree. We can come to different conclusions. Our analyses may differ. We can make our best cases to persuade each other without resorting to "you're a treasonous liberal" BS.

Or, I would like you to politely ask the Giuliani supporters to leave, since our efforts contradict your desires. I would heartily respect either position.

But calling Giuliani supporters names is disgusting.

That doesn’t refute the facts as stated. Despite his budget and tax-cutting prowess, when he left office New York had the highest tax burden of any major municipality. Their taxes when he took office were so high that he could cut it by large amounts and still have higher taxes than other cities (like a 300-pound man losing his first 10 pounds is a lot easier than a 150-pound man taking off the last 10).

And while they projected a surplus in the first outyear, that was based on a proposed 2 billion tax cut that had no chance of passing, and in fact the ACTUAL deficit 3 years later was billions, in part because borrowed money which Rudy used to fund the government in leu of taxes came due while the economy he thought would pay it off collapsed due to 9/11, because Rudy had no plan for economic downturn.

It is widely acknowledged that Michael Bloomberg is a better financial manager than Rudy was.

You made the point that he was pro-abortion when he was Governor of CA. OK. When he ran for president, he was pro-life.

So is your point that if Reagan was once wrong on something then it is OK that Giuliani is wrong on it now? Or is your point that Giuliani is pro-life now?

are freepers who have said they will vote for Hillary before they vote for Rudy

I have read that so often. They say she isn't the problem, only a symptom. Yet, it's been stated that FR cannot be used to support a liberal candidate which I agree with. So Freepers who claimed conservatism has no problem with Hillary. And Republican Rudy is 'banned'. Weird stuff.

I see another is wiping his chin.

Thank you for proving, once and for all, precisely what many of us have suspected about you all along. You've exposed your true nature. We were right about you and we're likely right about everyone associated with you here.

Since when did freepers who consider national security more important than social issues become liberals? In your eyes, maybe. Thankfully not in the eyes of the conservatives I know.

In what universe is a mayor who endorses the "sanctuary city" nonsense strong on national security?

When Reagan changed from a Democrat to a Republican and pro choice to pro life, he was embraced. When other Republicans do it, the “perfect conservatives” on FR call it pandering.
