You Rudy-for-president RINO liberals are inhaling whatever it is that the McCain for president RINO liberals are smoking.
The next GOP nominee will be a conservative, not a GOP backstabber like McCain --- and not someone who backstabs wife and family like Rudy.
GOD FORBID!
Yawn
Ugh!
Folks who know I'm right often react with an ostentatious "yawn" -- because they can't offer a real argument!
Nice topic....
i pray you're right. i'm sick up to my eyeballs with the falsies.
That's the bumper sticker I'm having printed up in 2008 - if Rudy runs. "NO SHAMELESS ADULTERERS FOR PRESIDENT" -- that's the other one/
Rudy Giuliani ping.
anyone that will cheat on their spouse, would cheat me in a NY second
True. If Guilliani, Cheney, McCain (or others like them) are nominated, we will see Hillary swept into office.
Conservative Christians are who elected GWB, and they will also play - for better or worse - a factor in 2008.
If the Repub candidate in 08 is not religously right wing, there is no way the right can win.
Bill Frist for Pres????
Rudy may be the best option for defeating The Beast. With Rudy, we may get about 50% of what we want; with Hillary, we get 0%. Do the math.
>>anyone that will cheat on their spouse, would cheat me in a NY second<<<
that is what i prophesied when a certain cheater from Arkansas was running for POTUS. i was right. cheaters are good at lieing also.. goes w/ the territory.
if that's our "best option" we don't deserve to win.
My wish is Tom Tancredo, although I don't think he'd have a snowballs chance. I've heard rumors that Colorado Governor, Bill Owens has been eyeing the prize, but I think he has too much personal baggage to be a contender.
He's the best option for letting Hillary win by splitting the GOP. His serial adulteries aren't going to go down well with cultural conservatives. They'll smell another Clinton. Rudy looks good in polls now because none of this foul laundary has been aired. If he runs, it will be - - Because of that, there's no chance he'll be nominated, thank God.
I hope you are right.
I rather admire Guli for his stance after the Great Outrage, and for his no-holds-barred approach to NY, cracking down on crime.
But I cannot countenance voting for him, or any other adulterer or otherwise cheater (I think this includes Newt). At the very least he should apologize for his bad behavior and show he regrets the whole thing and that he was WRONG (no "mistakes" - that ain't a mistake). But generally I will feel squeemish having a proven adulterer as a candidate.
In this Age of the Value Voter, among Rudy's huge liabilities are his personal life. Rudy's love life reads like a sordid tale from an X-rated paperback romance novel.
Rudy was first married to his cousin for 14 years, dumping her when he met Donna Hanover, then had the 14-year marriage annulled telling the Church he didn't "realize" his first wife was his second cousin.
Yeah, sure Rudy.
Mayor Rudy, while a married man and father of two, got involved with his third and present wife, escorting her publicly, and insisted his lover move into Gracie Mansion while he was still married to Donna.
Did we mention Rudy once endorsed a Democrat--Cuomo--over Pataki? And that Rudy looked the other way when his patronage appointee Russell Harding --Liberal Party's Ray Harding's son---was stealing $400,000 from the Housing Development Corp. and enjoying kiddie porn and gay vacations on the taxpayers dime?
In the Understatement of the Year, Sen Trent Lott recently warned that Guiliani's liberal views on abortion, civil unions and gay rights could make it "difficult" for him to win office as a Republican.
Trent forgot to add the Rudy would hunt down every gun, of every type, in every household in the USA and melt them down into scrap metal. Rudy doesn't need a gun. Like all rich liberals, he's got armed guards to protect him.
Perhaps Rudy ought to tell graduates how he plans to use failed HomeLandSec appointee Bernie Kerik's personal, business and political expertise to help him win public office (laughs uproariously).
Rudy can only win one office, New York State Governor.
