Yes, like the way we threw away the House & Senate in '06...you'll enjoy Hillary...I'm sure she'll accept your minimal pro-life position ;-)

There are others who have had divorces. That isn't the issue. It is the nature of the last breakup that makes one wonder about trustworthiness.
My position has been clear all along.
All Rudy has to do to get my general election vote is recant his pro-choice views and demonstrate that he has sincerely accepted a minimal pro-life position (rape, incest, life of mother.)
If he doesn't do that I will be forced to vote for my primary choice in the general election as well.
That is the only way to telegraph to the party how many votes they threw away.
He flip-flopped on partial birth abortion about a month agao.

I'm a conservative, not a republican.
Then unless Thompson gets in & wins the nomination, you, in effect, will vote for Hillary or Barack...maybe they'll appoint conservative judges...
Do I want him as Prez? Nope.
I'd rather have Hillary than Rudy. At least the last Clinton in office helped us win a Congressional majority, most of the state legislatures and was a daily reminder of the pathetic, socialists that inhabit the democrat party.
The worse thing that could happen would be to elect a RINO that stabbed us in the back.
The choice is a conservative Republican or if not that, then the conservative candidate, even if its a third party.
I'm tired of getting the run around. I'll always do better than the libs.
I don't depend on the government, stay below the radar, and generally will work hard in order to provide for my family .... let the government change, it's all the same....
I believe the "WHO" said it best,
"Here's the new boss,
same as the old boss
Won't get fooled again...
I get that impression, too.
Actually, if the rinos in the party nominate Rudy, they will be electing Hillary. I will be the one consistently voting conservative.
Life is not just an "issue." It is an unalienable RIGHT.
Without it no other "issues" matter. Dead men don't vote.
Exactly. Thanks.
See #28
I don't think you grasp the distinction I'm making.
Life is not an issue. It is an right given by God.
God says, "Thou shalt not murder."
I am not ABLE or PERMITTED to vote for one who consistently affirms murdering innocent life.
The republicans are offering me a choice between Goebbels or Himmler.
My answer is neither.
I cannot actively vote for a president who thinks that the life of a child is simply a "choice" that belongs to someone else. The republicans cannot win a national election without the pro-life vote.
He may nominate them, but unless he is willing to literally give up his presidency over this issue, he will never get one through the Senate. Rudy may nominate one or two pro-life judges, but he will not put the necessary pressure on anyone to confrim them. He will pull their nominations and give us a bunch of Souters in exchange.
If you are pro-life, do not even pretend to support Rudy at this time. The pro-lifers need to make it known to the Republican Party that we are not going to allow a literally pro-abortion candidate to be the standard bearer for our party.
Throw your support 100% behind either Thompson or Duncan and let everyone know that you are not willing to compromise on this issue. As long as the pro-life movement is wishy washy on this subject, then we will never prevail either at the ballot box or in the courts.
Giuliani is NOT our man. Let that be known.
I don't think he'd ever nominate them in the first place. I think that his no-notice, public humiliation of his last wife shows us how he treats those who are inconvenient and need discarding.
He will only get my vote if he makes a demonstrably clear recantation of the pro-choice position, and makes a humble demonstrably verifiable affirmation of the pro-life position.
In short, he is not and will not be my nominee. Without the recantation above, I CANnot vote for him for president.
They will love the pro-life vote.
God destroyed the old-testament civilizations that practiced child-sacrifice. He will not spare ours. Ultimately this country will be judged based upon how we treated the little children. The millstone is around our necks. We can choose to remove it or to be tossed into the sea. Yes we do have a "choice". The choice is "life or death, blessings or cursings". I implore all Americans and especially all Republicans. "Choose life, that you might live"
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV)
It is clear to me that if we as a nation choose to have leaders who are pro-death, that we will choose for ourselves and our posterity... death.
Unfortunately, at this point, it is clear that a vote for Rudy is a vote for death.
Choose life. Seek out a pro-life leader and work towards getting him elected. If we fail, then I believe it is because God has chosen judgment rather than mercy. If we succeed, then I believe it will show that God has chosen mercy over judgment.
Can we not pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to ensure that the blessings of liberty are given to our posterity? Or shall we continue to allow our posterity to be sacrificed on the altar of convienience and "privacy"?
I will make that pledge.
Pro-life is the place at which we will make our stand.
I just read another thread about organ harvesting prior to brain-death. Ethicists are alarmed.
That, too, is a Life concern. If they will take the heart from a not-yet-dead man, then they will take the heart from a disabled man, and eventually from an inconvenient man, and finally from whomever they desire.
Endowed by their Creator with....LIFE!
You trust him to nominate strict Constitutionalists to the judiciary despite the fact he appointed liberal judges by an 8-1 ratio in New York?
Apparently, illegal immigration, gun rights, abortion, the homosexual agenda and the global warming aren't issues of importance to you as RINO Rudy is further to the left on those issues than the average Democrat.
If conservatives can't support a conservative candidate for President, we don't have the brain power to defeat liberalism.
The most important issue to which I referred was the war on terror.
Re judges, Rudy had very few conservatives to select from in NYC. Again (ad nauseum), I'm voting for the Republican nominee & hope that's Fred Thompson. However, whoever it is they'll still give me more of a chance at better judges than would a Democrat president...unless it was Zell Miller...
