Right. He is. But he might be a better choice than the wing-nuts that some Freepers tie themselves to. Remember all the support for a Alan Keyes. He finally got his shot in Illinois and not only lost spectacularly but made an absolute ass of himself by calling for Blacks to pay no income tax. Now there is a solid conservative position for you. Guilliani fixed a lot of problems in NYC. That's a pretty damn big accomplishment. What has Bush fixed?
There are plenty of mainstream conservative candidates such as George Allen or Tim Pawlenty. Hell, I'd take McCain after the cross-dressing RINO Rockefeller-esque Ruina Giusolini.
