With Gipper's game plan, Rudy can win it all

I could have told you from the first post that you were anti-So. Baptist.

We attend a mega So. Baptist church and I have never in 30 years heard one word of the rhetoric that you are spewing.

No way that Guiliani will get my support in the primary. If he were to win the primaries, he'd have to publicly modify some positions and pledge absolute fealty to the platform before he'd get my support. Otherwise, I might just stay home or look elsewhere.

[Coldwater Creek]

He would not get my vote even if he said that he had changed his views. I would want some time put between his mind changing. I voted for Al Gore for senator because he SAID that he was pro life and pro gun. Thank goodness I wised up.

[xzins]

My choices will be:

1. Republican candidate
2. Democratic candidate
3. Sit out the election
4. Some other candidate

With so much invested in the Republicans, I will do all I can to support them. But, they have to give a little. Giuliani would have to give a lot. That stands for Rice, too. I'd want a clear RILOM Pro-life position out of both of them. Reagan had that position and I voted for him.

[Coldwater Creek]

Frankly I am already worn out. I am praying that the powers that be have a great candidate in the wings.

Some of the people on this thread have absolutely no peripheral vision whatsoever.

I think Frist wrote off presidential electability when he took the Senate leader position. That slot has to compromise so much that it looks wishy-washy to us base conservatives. (Although I still like Frist...wish he were better with the media than he is.)

Santorum simply is on my list no more.

A lot are hyping Allen from Virginia. I don't know that much about him, but I'm willing to listen. For President, I prefer governors experienced in executive functions to legislators trained in legislative functions.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

Guilianni won't run and if he does he won't make it through the primaries.

[Coldwater Creek]

Eventhough I voted for Frist twice for senator, he was never on my list for president.

I would consider Allen because he has been a governor and the only thing that I do not agree with is his stance on abortion. I belive that life begins at conception and he thinks it is a little later.

[Coldwater Creek]

That is right. All of this hand wringing is a waste of time and energy.

[MikefromOhio]

Sure thing, but they voted for her husband twice.....

[Coldwater Creek]

I do not think that you understand Southern folks.

I respect Rudy Guiliani and his bravery

When I think of bravery, I think of the men that have put their very LIVES on the line for our country, or, given the ultimate sacrifice. I do NOT think of some self-important politician who has lived a pampered, protected existence by living on hard-working citizens tax dollars.

What has RINO-Rudy ever done that is even REMOTELY shown real bravery?

[moose2004]

He should run for Governor of NY, because if he wins he'd be in the catbird seat for the VP slot.

[cyborg]

He cleaned up the streets but that doesn't mean I'd want him for president with the power to appoint judges,etc.

[cyborg]

If it was a choice between Hillary and Giuliani, I would too.

Why would his personal history doom him? So he got divorced. SO FREAKIN WHAT. So did Reagan. People don't care anymore.

** I care. Some people can compartmentalise that way but I do think our leaders should be held to a certain standard.

[Lancelot Jones]

Guiliani-Rice in '08.

Beauseant!

[cyborg]

I don't think Giuliani plays well with others. He'll have to change that if he wants to run for president.
