Hi:
I have no faith in the labels that get thrown around. "Libertarian" is one of those . . . if you mean less govt, that's one thing. If you mean "Libertarian Party" with it's non-initiation of force, etc, that's another.
Rudy has done a good job in being an Executive in the past. I think that's an indication he'd do a good job at being Prez. I'm hiring a good manager and executive. That person doesn't have to "think exactly as I do", they just have to have good decision making and management skills.
Rudy has been doing that ALL over the country and campaigned as hard for the party as ANYONE as well as working for individual conservatives. He was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm everywhere.
It is this wide appeal which has the Rudyphobes so panicked. They realize that should he get the nomination and win their days of Threat and Sulk are over and their influence drops precipitously.
You have the smoke I'll have the drink, LOL!
Abe was in the militia though.
If I had to bet a six-pack of Shiner, I'd bet on it being Rudy v. Hilly in the Election. With Rudy winning pretty handily.
Then again, I thought the Cowboys had a shot at the playoffs this year . . . :-(
I see you ignoring the issues of the debate. The CWA was crystal clear. I knew where you were attempting to go with this line of replies. Sorry, I don't buy it.
To add some context to this debate. Social conservatives are the majority of the Republican Party. If a GOP candidate wants to become POTUS, he/she better have an established record that is consistent with limited govt, anti-gun control, pro-life, anti-illegal amnesty and anti-special rights for homos. These are huge issues. So is the WOT. The WOT is the #1 issue. There are Republican candidates who support the WOT and who support social and fiscal conservatism. Rudy doesn't support the GOP platform in that regard. I don't buy what Rudy is selling. Period.
They would be outnumbered. We don't deny people not in planes the RKBA for fear of terrorists.

What a LIE. Defending against an Indian attack is hardly the same as genocide. But Abe-haters don't care about the truth.
Actually Bubba could have used that in the Oval Office -- Spic and Span, the "Big" Job Cleaner, would have taken care of that stain on the blue dress. (Not going to change the work "Big" -- no, I'm not going to do it -- my mother Freeps here!)
Not in every state.
Much nicer!
Nice work. The colorization is a nice touch. That should get 'em even more riled up.
LOL! Cheers!
I keep asking myself why. It's almost like you're scared of something happening, but I can't figure out what. [See #922 for my theory on why.]
I'm not even sure it's just Rudy; I think it might be anybody that got the nod that they don't like.
That is great!!! Thanks Spiff. Color coordinated so FReepers and Lurkers will have an easier time of finding Rudy`s liberalism in all those critical issues important to conservatives. So the orange stands for the taking of political positions consistent with the Republican Party Platform. Gotcha. The sickly light greenish color means you take sides with the Democratic Party platform. Everything else is self-explanatory.
I like it. Good stuff.
