Flapsblog ^ | Jan 27, 2007

January 29, 2007

A Giuliani fund-raiser will be held Jan. 29 in Pacific Palisades, Calif., at the home of Bill Simon, the 2002 Republican candidate for governor of California, costing $2,300 a person and $4,600 per couple.

January 30, 2007:

Mary Bono’s campaign is sponsoring a golf event to raise funds for Giuliani’s committee on Tuesday, at the Rancho Mirage home and golf course of Edra Blixseth, Porcupine Creek Golf Club. Information: (310) 500-4284 or by e-mail at events@marybono.com

February 1, 2007:

Texas Republican contributors are being solicited to spend $30,000 for dinner with former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani at the Houstonian Hotel in Houston Feb. 1 to finance his “presidential exploratory committee.” The “private” dinner will follow a 6:30 to 8 p.m. cocktail reception, costing $2,100 a person and $4,200 for couples.

The best-known host of Giuliani’s Houston event is billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens Jr., chairman of the private equity firm BP Capital Management. Also on Giuliani’s Texas fund-raising team are Tom Hicks, whose company owns the Texas Rangers baseball team; oil industry executive Jim Lee; and lawyer Patrick C. Oxford.

I have to disagree, what you just wrote is!

What I just wrote is a truthful assessment of a post Phi Kap Mom made a few weeks ago to belittle social conservatives.

And you see that as something nasty? Speaking the truth is nastiness?

You have just earned your credentials as a Rudy Booster. Welcome aboard.

Deport thinks at least $100 million. How much do you think Hunter will need?

Lincoln was once asked how long a man's legs should be. He responded, "long enough to reach the ground."

Hunter needs enough money to win. What that figure is in a time of falling MSM influence and increasing internet influence is hard to tell. However, MSM false advertising is expensive. Word of mouth is cheap.

Name calling is a liberal tactic. Is that why you do it?

It isn't Reagan man calling folks "lunatics".

"If you want to see really nasty, get up from the computer, go to the bathroom and look in the friggin' mirror."

Is this your truthful assessment?

So, if rudy gets the nomination who are you voting for????

Are you predicting that Hunter will be a serious contender - say getting 20% of the GOP vote by summer?

"Better than Rudy. How many abortions while he was Mayor?

I'm against abortions, but you make it sound as if Rudy was responsible for those abortions.

You could have asked the same question for any other politicians, Bush included.

Neither Bush nor Rudy were/are responsible for those abortions.

Hunter will require massive money just to get to where he's a contender. If he's planning to do it on a shoestring, forget it.

Rudy will have to plop millions into the MSM which has an ever-decreasing market share.

Hunter can rely on word-of-mouth and netroots - and does not need a false-advertising campaign.

He will still need a lot of money - but I would venture he will need less than half of what Rudy would need to fool enough of the people some of the time.

The "base" is variegated. But being for higher taxes in general, or soft on foreign policy, is outside the "base," typically. Absent that, the "base" is moving target - libertarian types on social issues all the way to Savonarola types (put abortion in that category as caught up in that, not entirely appropriately), protectionists, all the way to free traders, atheists to Mormons and Evangelicals, and inbetween, green eye shade spending to "compassionate" conservative spending, Hamiltonian Federalists to Jeffersonian state's rightests, etc., all show up in the "base." Robe leashing is probably close to a "base" issue as well, come to think of it.

Sometimes working within a party furthers what one holds most dear, and sometimes not. Sometimes free agency is indicated, and sometimes not. Sometimes one must repair across the River Styx. One must hope for a common sense good judgment as to what to do when, for ourselves, and for other citizens.

That is my first cut at it. I don't mind musing on flame threads, because often the flamers simply don't understand me. :)

No thanks, I am happy with the diversity in the GOP. Have you looked at the Constitution Party?

this forum have allowed it to be hijacked by liberal gun-grabbing abortionists.

BTW, we had several people from the pro-life side tell me that they would be out of a if Roe v. Wade was overturned and how much money they bring in with some of their flyers. One lady had been paid for 25 years and she figures she will be able to retire as long as it is not overturned.

Told to a group of us at the GOP Convention two years ago.

Where have I suggested you have? If you wish to use the broad brush then apply it equitably.
