His lifelong liberalism is a disease I do not trust. He mentioned R B Ginsburg last year, not decades ago. LOL

He’s also on record waffling about what that means. He said that Buzzy Ginsburg could be considered a strict constructionist. Rudy’s promises in this area are meaningless.

Rudy winning the presidency would be the end of the conservative movement in this country for generations. Romney is the same deal, but more stealthy. I won’t vote for either of them.

Elections are battles and movements are wars. I will NOT lose a war to win a battle under any circumstances.

But Enough’s enough. I’ll bother you no further.

Good, because I already told you that if Hunter gets the nom, I will definitely vote for him.

= )



Please keep in mind that I am, philosophically, a radical libertarian. It's not by choice, it's who I am, and how my mind works. I find just about everybody to be a bit of a statist, LOL. (This is also why I will never vote for Giuliani. Ever.)

That's BS. Rudy said that Ginsberg is a good lawyer and well-qualified. He did NOT say he would put her on the bench.

Oh, and she was confirmed by 96-3 with only 3 R's voting against her.

Alright, but you better have Hunter in your holster when Fred’s knees start buckling after he wears out his tapdancing shoes. ;o)

Trust has nothing to do with it, we’re talking about a choice between him and the Hidebeast. He’s gonna want a second term and to get that he has to get the base and to get the base he has to follow through with his promise concerning Supreme court nominees.

Hey what was Hunters opinion on the Recall election of California? Is there any statements at that time of his thoughts or who he voted for?

Thompson voted for Clinton’s conviction for obstruction of justice and removal from office.

You have been linked to Thompson’s statement on the various charges.

Don’t know, but I think he’s buds with McClintock, so I hope he voted for him. LOL

But all of that is pointless, because now we have a much better candidate to support, who can win, and who won't have any problems waffling over what a strict constructionist judge is.

His name's Fred Thompson:

You would have critizied Jon Paul Jones and Stephen F. Austin.

You fight at the time necessary to win the war, not fight because ninnies have their panties in a wad.

His votes on judges while in the senate are nothing to write home about, frankly. But none of that matters, since we now believe he’s a strict constructionist despite pimping McCain Feingold Thompson in front of the SCOTUS. ROFL

The court is the main concern in the next election. And if the choice comes down to Rudy or Hillary I’m not going to throw up my hands and cede it to her. I’m going to do what ever I can to get more conservative justices. Rudy might renig on his promise given! I know damn well Hillary won’t renig on hers. This purist crap gets us deeper the hole. Justices last thirty years or longer.

Oh I’m a rabid Fred Thompson guy. We’re talking scenarios here about IF Rudy gets nominated.

So far, in this thread, you are the only 3 that have actually made good arguments on why you support Fred. In 173 posts (so far) that says something.

As of right now, I am a Rudy supporter. My #2 is Fred. That may change, but I honestly cannot say that I have seen any leadership from Fred, and that is what I am looking for. That is a very subjective feeling, so I am not looking for arguments against Rudy (I really know them all), but in the spirit of the original question, I am going to say that the two reasons I support Fred (as my #2 right now), are his communication skills, and his conservatism as compared to Rudy.

If Fred gets the nomination I will gladly support him. In fact I make a pledge to send him a $ donation on the first day of the general election.

Thank you three for supporting your candidate with such vigor, as opposed to others on this thread. You are all good reflections of the true grass root support Fred has attained.

We can make big gains on the court, or we can have a push, unless something happens to Scalia. Otherwise, the ones being replaced are Ginsburg and Stevens. If that happens, we still are doing better than we were. It’s not worth destroying the conservative movement for.

That’s just my opinion and you can call me a purist if you like, but this is just one of the reasons why I am supporting Fred Thompson. I want a candidate that I can support without holding my nose.

Codercpc,
If you can help me prove my point on a previous post (and this isn’t going to trash Rudy.)

Why do you support Rudy?

I want to show some people here that there are a LOT of real Conservatives supporting Rudy, it isn’t just moderate appeal.
