Why will you (not) vote for Rudy Giuliani?

Imagine the election is today and you are in the voting booth. The republican candidate is Rudy Giuliani. Will you vote for him or not? Why?

Suggestions for discussion:

• Don't bother to tell us who you will vote for.
• Don't tell us what you wish would happen between the nomination and election.
• Just say yes or no and explain why
• And remember, FRiends, no personal attacks--aim at the reasons not the person posting them.
• Rudy has good legs and a cute nose (not), so let's dispense with the usual photos--you know what I mean!

Motivation:

I've read hundreds of articles and thousands of replies about Rudy, and I'm hoping we can cover all the issues and bring out all the reasons in one thread. (Yeah--I'm an idealist and also missed that other thread...)

I will NOT vote for him! He's a RINO, and I REFUSE to vote for an adulterer, a baby killer and a gun grabber. Period! End of story!

IF the GOP wants to lose the White House, they will chose Rudy as their candidate. They will also lose me at that point. I'm just about done with them now! THAT would be the final nail in their coffin!

[avacado]

Even if that means siphoning votes away from RINO Rudy which would lead to Hillary winning --- I would still vote my conscience and vote third party and let the Republican party rot in Hell.

How can your conscience allow Hillary to become President of the USofA and Commander in chief of the Armed Forces?

[BARLF]

To answer the opening post, I will vote for the Republican nominee, because I believe Democrats are a bigger threat to this nation than any Republican, however moderate, could ever be.

Same on our military........I will do my part to keep a democrat from becoming Commander in Chief of our troops.

[BARLF]

BTTT

[Responsibility2nd]

Because I’m more than a one issue voter. I respect your point on the Armed Forces.

But is Rudy really the best CIC? What are some of his foreign policies that you agree with with regard to our troops?

Hmmm???

No, I will not vote for Rudy on a whole multitude of reasons: Abortion and gay rights are among they many things RINO Rudy is wrong about.

And if the GOP stupidly selects Rudy Giuliani, then you can count on a strong third party candidate who will run as a conservative. That, of course, will almost guarantee a victory for the dems.

But I will not hold my nose and vote for a liberal; Rudy, Hillary, Obama, whoever.

And my conscience will be crystal clear. My personal convictions will not be compromized.

I will not vote for him.
I never have, nor can I ever, support someone who is very much in favor of gun control.

Say NO to gun grabbers.

[avacado]

All I am saying is that if it does indeed come down to Hillary vs Rudy, there is no way I can sit back and allow Hillary to become President of the USA. And at that point, the only power I have is to vote against her. That means voting for Rudy. I personally would love to see Duncan Hunter against Hillary but not everything works out in life like I would like. But one thing is for sure, I will vote against Hillary. What a complete disaster she’d be for this country.

My Congressman is a great Conservative, John Culberson, from Distric 7 in Houston, Texas. The Conservatives that sat out the last election to teach the Republicans a lesson only served to make this great man’s work much more difficult in Washington DC.

But I digress, I’ll be damned if Hillary is to lead this great nation.

Only tennis shoes? Sorry, I do not respond to persons not fully clothed.

I am fully clothed! They’re REALLY big tennis shoes!

[TitansAFC]

I for one would never vote for Rudy Giuliani under any circumstance.

I will vote Third Party, and go door-to-door and work phone banks for said candidate.

No to Rudy, even if the RINO voters are successful in shoving him down our throats in the Primaries. Fear of Hillary isn’t enough now, and it won’t be enough later.

No to Rudy, under any circumstance, ever.

[Politicalmom]

Never.

Abortionist.
Gun-grabber.
TOTALLY immoral and untrustworthy.
Marched with NAMBLA.
Egomaniacal.

>>> How can your conscience allow Hillary to become President <<<

That’s simple.
If any of the east coasters gets in what’s the dif. If a Rat gets the white house. At least
they’ll be some opposition to the run to the far left vs. everyone joining the chores one of
those east coasters will sing as we (get) marched down Marx’s road.

I won’t sit out But if anyone of the east coasters gets the nod. 3rd party here I come. Which one. Don’t know yet. It was so much easier when I knew I was going to vote R

We need to get behind a good 3rd party candidate if that happens.
May not have a snowballs chance in hell. But you never know. Jesse Ventura got elected governor in MN with a protest vote.

Rudy will have high numbers of dem’s voting for him in the primaries. Hope the R’s aren’t that foolish.

Think it’s time to check for moles in Republican leadership at all levels. How else can you account for some of the incompetence we’ve seen in theses last elections.

[lowbridge]

I don’t like the cut of his jib.

[rbookward]

-- I don’t like the cut of his jib.

"Can you be more...specific?"

[gate2wire]

Won’t vote for him ‘cause he’s a pro-abortion liberal.

[lowbridge]

I don’t like the jib of his cut.

[rbookward]

So, is it OK to bump your own thread so it will appear during PDT dinnertime? I guess I’ll find out...

[Forgiven_Sinner]

A hypothetical situation that isn't likely. I doubt Rudy will get the Republican nomination. I will repeat what I posted before:

Thompson before Hunter. Hunter before Romney. Romney before Gingrich. Gingrich before McCain. McCain before Rudy. Rudy before Hillary.

And I will vote for Zell Miller before I vote for Rudy too.

[contrarian]

Vote for”julie”-No
Vote for Julie even if Not voting for Julie gives it to Hillie—No— No difference in the two-both liberal baby killers who hate guns and will sell the United States down the river.
Vote third party? -maybe If either one of these two losers is elected will be busy getting ready for Civil War II

[ellery]

No. The man doesn’t trust freedom, he doesn’t understand the Constitution, and he loves only power. If he is the nominee, I will vote third-party. He’s as dangerous as the worst Democrat.

Exactly, and well-said.
