Rudy: Let voters decide '12, not "so-called leaders."

Someone buy that boy a dozen battered, deep fat fried saltpork sammiches, extra mayo, and from the look of his complexion and the roseate hue of his wee lil’ nose, a case of vodka.
That, my FRiend, is the very definition of the difference bewtween "men" and "little boys."
Little boys throw stones and giggle (pretty much because they see others doing it). Real men tan their hides for it. Make 'em walk funny.

Like Fred Thompson, he didn’t really want it. Personally, I’ve always liked Giuliani and would have preferred him over McCain.
Same here. Kind of like Teddy Roosevelt; I don’t agree with some of his positions, but he was a stand-up individual who spoke his mind and the public respected and admired him for it.
Mike Allen at Politico thinks his story with nothing but anonomous sources helps Palin with the public; he actually said they did her a favor running the story.
He and Sarah are pretty friendly and I'm not surprised that he's standing up for her.
Comments like that could put FR at risk.
The more I see of him, the more I like him.
There may be aspects of Rudy I like, but the fact that he thinks I should be licensed to own a firearm is enough to convince me that he is a person I would never support in any position of power to do anything about that.
CB, do I have to say it?
(get a life)
> “Giuliani is too leftist for republicans, and especially for Governor Palin to make her veep.”
.
Politics make strange bedfellows.
Convention dynamics can do the darnedest things.
.
Palin would not make Rudy Giuliani her veep.
Do you really think that the conservative movement is ready to vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun ticket?
I’ll add some more information, our conservative leader would not choose a pro-abortion, anti-gunner, and cancer plagued Giuliani would be 76 after any body’s 2 terms in office.
I don’t see Giuliani on any one’s list of veeps.
Indeed! Those are good suggestions you have listed.
The primary process is like a vendor filling the front rows of a snack machine with bitter lemons and jalapeno peppers and people having to buy all of them to get to something sweet.
The problems couldn't have been more apparent than they were in 2008. They gave us the loser John McCain. Of course, we did get to know his principled, outspoken Conservative VP candidate, which had to have been simple serendipity. I think McCain had to be talked into that anyway.

What I think would probably not be helpful here. The snare in your analysis is that to get elected president will require more than conservative votes, and pockets of power that cannot be ignored will definitely have their input.
I mostly agree with you on Rudy.
All of us should be writing to the GOP leaders and letting them know that a strong message needs to be sent to career GOP folks that business as usual has almost destroyed our country and our faith in them.
They need to put to rest their cozy and corrupt traditions and roll up their sleeves and start taking their oaths to uphold our constitution SERIOUSLY.
They can START by being good stewards of our money-all the TIME. And move to scrapping that horrific governmental takeover of our entire medical system. And I mean IMMEDIATELY.
SENATOR LUGAR, one of my career politicos,is going to be hearing from me one great big deal. He needs to put away the swarmy rules or faulty traditions that keep him from speaking out and moving into some committee's area of concern he does not sit on. He and most of them need to MAN-UP OR WOMAN-UP AND actually do some work that matters.
Shame on all of them. They should all GO HOME and talk to the folks, really TALK to the folks. Not just the rich donor folk, but everyone. And they need to listen.
And all of them need to study Sarah and LEARN from her beliefs and actions.
Yep, excellent thinking and observations.
The Republican establishment better see that train coming, as of late, I think they are in a state of denial. The folks are fed up and that they (The “R” establishment) do not see the truth, much less the blaring opportunity is par for the course with them. New leadership needed, and quick.
There is no snare in my analysis.
Rudy ran once already, he was at the peak of his powers and had the media behind him, he fizzled out because the GOP is the pro-life, pro-gun party, he got nowhere.
One of the reasons I have always liked Rudy is his straight forwardness and his ability to tell it like it is. There is no fooling around with him, and as far as I know this is not the first time he has defended Sarah. He came to her defense right after McCain picked her as his running mate, for example, at a time when the media was questioning Sarah's experience. I remember Rudy defending her and pointing out Obama's lack of executive experience, and lack of any significant work experience for that matter. I never forgot when he said Sarah had more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together.
“I’m not sure she’s our best candidate”
I’m sure that she’s our **only** acceptable candidate.
I normally oppose the participation of women in politics. However, there are exceptions: Catherine the Great, Elizabeth the First, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher...and Sarah Palin.
