It is clear that Rudy Giuliani is the right man at the right time. Rudy is already showing the leadership skills of a President and it is still early on the campaign. In the Fox News debate, Rudy stressed to the American people that we as a nation must focus on the terrorists’ war against us and our economy. Those are the defining issues of our time, and we need a strong leader like Rudy who is focused on defending this country against terrorism and growing our economy.
Rudy’s answers on foreign policy issues show that he will not let this country fall back into a pre-9/11 mentality. He has seen first hand what happens if we do not stay on offense against the terrorists, and he will use his power as President to keep the country on offense.
On growing the economy, just this week, Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said “It is impossible to ignore Giuliani's overall commitment to a pro-growth philosophy and his executive talent for implementing that philosophy in a hostile political environment.” The Club for Growth praised Mayor Giuliani’s record of cutting taxes and drastically cutting spending. His proven record as a fiscal conservative in New York City makes him the ideal candidate to clean up Washington’s nonstop spending.

Rudy Giuliani is the one candidate that is focused on the positive ideas that unite our party, proving why he is uniquely qualified to win the general election. Not only is Rudy the frontrunner in the polls, he is leading the Republican Party down a path to victory over a Democratic candidate.
Rudy is right when he says our party must unite in this election because if we don’t unite around our general principles, we will lose.

Red State isn’t endorsing Giuliani. It is merely posting an editorial by one of his supporters.
Same with me posting this editorial. I’m just providing the information, and Freepers are free to reach their own conclusions after reading it.
Where’s the Barf Alert?
Since you’re posting pro-liberal crap on a conservative forum, are you going to post some pro-Hillary crap next? What the heck is wrong with you?
This editorial came from another conservative blog site. And I don’t dispute anyone’s right to disagree with it. Since he’s a serious candidate, let Freepers read it and make their own decisions, rather than not posting it at all.
Well. Something out of the Rudy I actually agree with.
Unfortunately (for him) he and I share only a couple of principles, so I am looking to 'unite around' someone with more principles...that I agree with, of course.
So, are you, or are you not, saying it isn’t so?
The Left gatekeeps info about GOOD candidates.
The Right surely shouldn’t shill for BAD candidates.
Speaking for myself personally, I haven’t decided which GOP candidate I’ll support. But Giuliani does deserve serious consideration, given his accomplishments.
Exactly what are your critera for President, pray tell?
What are make-or-break priorities other than ‘just winning’ vs. whatever boogeyman the Left has or might have?
Winning is a top priority.
There is also the appointing of Federal Judges (which Giuliani is trying to assure conservatives not to worry), economic growth, deficit reduction, national security, border security, public safety, and opposition to outsourcing foreign labor.
Considering Rudy’s policechiefgate, his support of NARAL and his sanctuary city policy, using your own list of priorities, I trust Rudy on a maximum of three of those topics.
Who else might be someone worthy of Conservative support, in your opinion?
John McCain is someone I would have a lot of trouble supporting. More because of his being an opportunistic media whore than his views.
Mitt Romney I could support. He has impressive managerial abilities. He could be stronger in the vision department, but there is no perfect candidate.
I’d have to say my first choice at this point is Fred Thompson.
Rudy....
PUKEMAO!!
“But Giuliani does deserve serious consideration, given his accomplishments.”
Here are his accomplishments
Pro abortion
gun grabber
pro homo
pro illegal immigration
Take this POS, and run like a thief
We Must Put Forward Rudy = Um, frustrated? Wow. Dry up!
Rudiphilic dementia is tragic. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Like gun-grabbing and milking an attack for personal gain.
Maybe I am a little dense, but it is not so clear to me.
I agree, but would like to add that my number one domestic concern is reigning in the role of the federal government. The only perspective candidate who is both strong on the WOT and a serious Federalist, is Fred “Frederalist” Thompson.
