The bigger problem is that I don't see any strong conservative candidates yet. We are running out of time.
As a matter of fact who's out there on "R" side that has a chance of winning ..period?
George Allen, that's who.
Oh please---Rudy never used that excuse to endorse Mario. The Mario endorsement was Rudy's way to advance himself.
Besides, nobody could be more liberal than Mario. After all, George didn't go to Notre Dame to argue for legialized abortion.
I guess Mario musta endeared himself to Rudy with his pro-abortion oratory.
Instead of repeating this misconception ad infinitum you might wish to read up on and gain an understanding of what Madison and Jefferson thought regarding the inviolability of state's rights. And there were not, and are not now, any stronger proponents of state's rights than the aforementioned gentlemen.
Where does Allen stand on the immigration issue? Is he for the Senate version? So far, that has been the downfall of every other "conservative" including Brownback. They come down on most issues okay, but on immigration they avoid being tough.
| Posted by Alberta's Child to Sir Francis Dashwood; Blackirish; All On News/Activism ^ 07/08/2006 9:42:58 AM PDT · 157 of 495 ^ I'm starting to see a trend here among Giuliani supporters. Whenever one of his flaming liberal positions is exposed, the natural response among his supporters has been to explain it away in one of two ways: 1. A flaming liberal position that he took as mayor of New York (openly violating the 1996 Federal law that prohibited cities like New York from establishing themselves as "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens, for example) was really necessary for him to get elected in New York City, and won't affect his performance as president because he'll change his position tomorrow (or next week, or next year, etc.). 2. A flaming liberal position he took as mayor of New York (supporting homosexual marriages and abortion through nine months of pregnancy, for example) will no longer be an issue because "these matters will be left to the states and cities" if he becomes president. Point #1 is ludicrous because this is exactly what made it so clear that John Kerry was a fraud. I don't understand why anyone in the Republican Party would find that kind of sh!t endearing in a presidential candidate -- especially when it involves a situation in which the candidate in question really belongs in a Federal prison instead of at the top of a major party ticket. Point #2 is ludicrous because it misses one very important point: Why would anyone expect Rudy Giuliani in a Federal capacity to "leave these issues to the states and cities" if the most radically liberal positions he took as mayor of New York involved issues that weren't even the responsibility of city government (i.e., abortion, illegal immigration, homosexual marriage, etc.)?!?!

That's why it is so critically important to make sure we hold the Senate with enough conservative votes in 06 to confirm one more conservative justice.
Who votes in the Republican primaries? Hardcore conservatives only.
Which hardcore conservative is going to vote for Giuliani, who wants to murder even more babies and confiscate your guns for the good of the state? None.
However, if Rudy were smart and really wanted an excellent shot at becoming president, he'd run as a Democrat! Rudy as the Democrat nominee would probably beat anything the Republicans could throw at him.
Also an MSM operative who, like Pat Buchannan gets his paychecks from where?
I just think he is a Jew hater and don't trust him from the get-go...

Give up the senate in 06 and the reps are in far reaching trouble.
I think you are wrong about Bob Novak. He was the lone conservative voice for years on CNN's "Crossfire", and one of only two on the McLaughlin Group.
He may not be 100% conservative on every issue, but he is certainly not a "Kerry operative" or an "MSM operative".
Excellent compilation of the reasons why Rudy is a loser.
New York City has been and still is a caldron of horrible social and crime problems.
I think Rudy has the wisdom to approach the presidency of the country much differently.
Rudy on Immigration From his website.
If a Democrat president tried to pull off any of these stunts, we'd rally in one voice to resist and defeat him. But a liberal Republican president only needes the support of a minority of "progressive" (RINO) Republicans to vote with the Democrats to implement liberal solutions on a national scale.
And do you really think Giuiliani would put another Scalia or Alito on the Supreme Court? Don't count on it. At best you're going to get a squishy soft-headed "moderate" like Kennedy who will join with the liberal justices to continue the assault on states' rights and prerogatives.
Giuliani would be a terrible choice. Even McCain would be less risky.
---Virginia Republican Senator George Allen, differentiated himself from the other Senate presidential wannabees on immigration reform, likely to be a major issue in the 2008 election. Allen is the only Senatorial presidential candidate to vote against the Senate immigration reform bill.---
Allen may be it for the Republicans.
And I very well might be, but I still do not trust him just the same...

That settles where his paychecks come from...

Since the New York Republicans are so happy to sit on their hands and actually let Hitlery Clintong be their senator why the hell should the rest of the Republicans suffer their incompetence on the national stage???
Rudy is the best we have. There is no one candidate that is fully 100% conservative. And if there was one, that candidate may win the primary but is not winning the election. Too many moderates out there that would go third party and give the election to the RAT.
Rudy is tough on defense and tough on terrorism which is the primary concern right now. Gun laws are favoring conservatives across the nation and Rudy is not going to interfere with that.
As far as abortion and gay marriage, people have to come to grips that in the end, when you meet your maker, you will be judged on your actions. That shouldn't be state or federal mandated, but between a man and god. If Republicans would say that in an open forum, liberalism will die because groups like ACT and NARAL will no longer get funding.
Either way, a President will not have an impact on it. Best part is, taking this into consideration, Rudy neutralizes any left wing candidate and with his strong stance on national security and demostrated leadership, this election will be a landslide.
