I'll go further, if W. lets the liberals bulldoze him into signing everything likely to be on their wish list, I'm finished with what the GOP has become. I fully expect a bunch of backroom tradeoffs, and the loss of much of the ground we've gained.
I'm a conservative, no more voting for pretenders!
Why don't you post your vanity during the 2008 primaries? Look, I'm not too big on Rudy either, but the man deserves a primary hearing. It's way too early to start fussing over 2008 and handwringing over who should be President. Enough! Just let events play out as they should and state your case then. Doing it now is ridiculous. Some of you guys clearly need a vacation.
BTW, the Constitution Party is a joke. Even the Libertarian Party is bigger ROFL
BTTT
Guns were already banned in NYC years before Rudy took office. Besides, Rudy cracked down on the gang-banging felons toting guns.
Gay marriage
NYC is a very liberal, diverse, tolerant city. It isn't Peoria. There are lots of homosexuals in NYC. It would be un-New York like to disparage them. It is what it is and no conservative is going to change the city.
Affirmative action
I don't recall Rudy ever speaking out in favor of affirmative action
School prayer
This is a local issue not a national one.
"Some of you guys clearly need a vacation."
I agree- wish everyone would stop and take a deep breathe.
Of course I would prefer a true conservative to win our nomination. But if the rest of the country doesn't understand what that means because they don't follow politics like I do, and they go for Guliani, I will support him whole heartedly. At least he will try to prevent another terrorist attack. He was there, he knows the stakes.
I used to carp on Rudy too. But then I realized how ridiculous and petty I sounded. The 2008 elections are light-years away. Why should I worry about something I have no control over other than to cast my vote?
Rudy is no conservative. Rudy is a liberal to his political core.
Don't forget that Rudy said that if his daughter wanted to kill his grandchild he'd give her the money to get it done.
He'd be a whole lot better than McKook.
Ping
In all flame wars, I've never heard that one before...
NYC is NYC, you couldn't pay most of us enough to live there, to Hell with what Rudy did there, please keep him there!
The world I live in bears so little resemblence to NYC that we might as well be on different planets, and I prefer it that way.
I don't care what names I get called, but so far HE is who I'm voting for in the Primaries unless Barbour or someone else gets in.
This is a very serious question. On a whole host of issues, McCain is far more conservative than Guiliani, but I have to agree. McCain's a very dangerous person who would explode under the kind of media barrage that a president is subject to.
I'm not fond of Guiliani, I don't think he'd expend any capital for constitutionalist judges (I think he'd rather find common-sense, wise jurists...like himself) and despite his fondness for the social left, it's not that he'd be a activist leftist, but he wouldn't fight any of the wacky new ideas that they come up with.
That being said, McCrazy is just dangerous.
Thanks for the ping, MotleyGirl70!
I had two cousins where moved to NY City. No one here knew either were gay. That is why they moved there so they could openly practice their "gayness." Both came home in body bags, dead from AIDS. Yup, NY City is great. I visited there once coming back from a tour in Germany. You can have it. It is a dump in my opinion.
