It's all very tidily archived, too.

I live in the heart of Red America -- in fact every one of our counties is red from 2004! Here in OK and in TX, a lot of schools have members of the football team dress like woman, dance, and everything to compete for a title in order to raise money for charity. A big hairy lineman won Miss BHS the year my daughter was a senior! :)

And was that in front of a gay group, eh?

And are those kids running for president?

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

That's the point. He's not Bill Clinton. His performance wasn't staged for a future event. Rudy wasn't thinking about a future run for office. Rudy was thinking about the survivors of 911. It is one of his greatest strengths - he doesn't CARE what people think - he CARES about people. I dare the left to make an issue of his dress. It will have the same backlash Kerry's Vietnam bragfest had. The NASA suit didn't do Kerry in. Kerry did himself in.

You worry about nothing.

I would be willing to bet what you posted goes right over their heads! :) You will probably get a Thank You!

And Reagan was .....*gasp* DIVORCED!

[Howlin]

Why can't we all examine the candidates peacefully

Because "they" don't want us to; we're picking a POTUS candidate this time and they're scared to death it's going to be somebody they don't agree with, so they are trying to bulldoze us into not discussing it.

because its' a long way from January.

Actually, this will all be over by February 5th of 2008.

We cannot let the Beast win!

That is the ONLY thing that matters.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Dude, you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper.

Like that matters? Can you honestly believe, having read posts here at FR for years, that a fair number of social conservatives will NOT have an issue with Rudy appearing in drag before a gay group?

[Blackirish]

With his poll numbers this high this late in the game the odds of that happening are nil.
"This late in the game"????

Bwhahahahaha

We have been over this hard truth,




Feb. 5, 2008, may become Super-Duper Tuesday with, perhaps, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah voting on the same day..


Think about that. That means that some obscure nominee won't be able to go to IA and NH shake some hands and come from nowhere.

They will need an entire national ground game and close to 100 million to buy radio and TV ads within a few months.

They have to make the ads ....hire thousands of people..pollsters...consultants...the logistics in this time constraints are staggering.

There are 5-6 people in the country who can pull that off. Rudy,Romney,McCaine, Hillary and maybe Obama, Colin Powell,Edwards.

They front loaded the primaries. It's pretty much game over. Unless Rudy runs as a liberal...which we know he won't..or pulls a Dean Scream...he's to smart for that...game over.....only Romney could keep up...and he's not so bad. McCaine is too damaged and old.

Anyone polling in single digits is already toast.

[Howlin]

And doing a great job of it, if I may say so!

And Roosevelt was married to his seventh cousin, but they weren't Jewish....lol.

(Inside joke from a thread last night).

Yes, I can honestly believe that. Social conservatives are not the hate-filled homophobes you are making them out to be.

[Howlin]

Why would anyone join a political website if they didn't want to win elections is what I would like to know?

Oh, please, Phi: you know very well that winning is like kryptonite to some of these people.

[Petronski]

Anyone polling in single digits is already toast.

I do not mean to be argumentative, but does anyone know how BJ Clinton polled in Feb 1991, or how GW Bush polled in Feb 1999?

[nopardons]

What about the anti-spam rule? Why is suddenly no longer applicable to some people?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

What about economic conservatives, Libertarians? Them's the folks you need to win over. Rudy or Romney will. Hunter and the Congresscritters won't.

Maybe he's just bringing out your baser political instincts.

At least I HAVE some political instincts; too bad you can't say the same thing.

[dirtboy]

Social conservatives are not the hate-filled homophobes you are making them out to be.

I see. They are hate-filled homophobes for seeing a lack of gravitas in appearing in drag before a gay activist group in NYC.

Homophobes? I expect that kind of talk from Dems. Not alleged conservatives.
