You know, its interesting. I have not yet made up my mind about the GOP "field", but I will probably devote my meager efforts to rasing the profile of Ron Paul. I have made up my mind about one thing -- I am convinced that liberalism is a diesease that could very well kill this country. Or turn it completely unrecognizable to those of us that remember the USA as being somewhat free, before the the dammed godless liberals had enough power to dictate everything acceptable to think, say, and do, down to the amount of gas mileage our cars must have.
If your guy is the former mayor of NYC, then tell me: Is he the cure for the disease or just another symptom?
From what I have seen him quoted as saying and telling us he believes, he is just another Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, and Kennedy. Part of the disease with values and beliefs diametrically opposed to most of the conservatives on this site. I simply cannot see myself voting for him in any circumstance -- even if it comes down to him and Chthullo. So, in response to your next question or accusation "So you would rather have Hillary! then?"; I will tell you, I would'nt care who won or lost if it came down to those two because I know that my country would lose either way.
The fact that GOP is seriously considering nominating him goes beyond disturbing, on many levels. If by forming my opinion based on his own words and demonstrated character, expressing my opinion and how it was formed, constitutes me "tearing your guy down", that sounds pretty thin skinned to me.
Goodnight All.
Sleep well, principled warriors never grow battle weary.
I was speaking more in a rhetorical sense about the people on the thread that feel they have to lie about Giuliani (that is where the whole 16,000 plus posts started). He is not a socialist. He cleaned up NYC, and by all appearances was the only mayor who has ever been able to do this. NYC is the equivalent population and problem level of most countries in the world. He’s law and order and tough on terror, and if you think he and Hillary are alike in that area, then you’re deluded. If you like what the Clintons did to the CIA before, you’ll like it even better when they get the chance to do it again.
By all means, try to get your candidate popular to the majority. But you’ll also have to convince people that your priorities trump that of terror, crime, and other issues where Giuliani has a proven record.
