"relatively"? Is that a new synonym of exceedingly?
but he is a STRONG leader, he is very strong on national defense,
How do you come to this conclusion?
he is a tough law and order former prosecutor,
OK, but rounding up Italian-American mobsters is not on a par with fighting international terrorism.
and he is articulate, a strong speaker and debater
He lisps.
and he can ABSOLUTELY Defeat the Hildebeest in 2008.
No he can't because he'll never be supported in the south, non-coastal western and plains states. Nominate Giuliani and you give the Hillary the oval office.
I don't think that will be the case with Romney. I think we will be pleasantly surprised as he gets away from Mass more and out into the rest of the country. I could be wrong , but I have a feeling that he is more conservative than most of the other potential candidates and it is going to serve him well .
Spoke too fast.
"Sorry Rudy - you can't believe in infanticide and win the Republican nomination.
Oh, and how about you cheating on your wife? Um, that's not going to go so well."
AND! On top of that he's GAY?....and pro-abortion?
Schools Out! Fagetaboutit! Rudy! Stay Home!
By '08 he will be Rudy who?. Bank on it. He has only a little bit better chance of winning a GOP primary than Bernie sanders or Barney frank do.
He was an out-of-control, headline grabbing, government thug. He pioneered the trend of using the weight of the government to imprison the unpopular (Leona Helmsley, Michael Milken).
And how many cab drivers died so he could suck up to Danny Glover?
There's nothing "conservative" about this kind of "law and order". He's Janet Reno without the testosterone.
Romney still has that MA stink on him.
I know that i'm going to take alot of heat for talking up Romney , but just because he's from Mass shouldn't automatically disqualify him .
Yeah but 16 years of big spending Southern good ol boys had to end.
Time for a Yankee skinflint.
Maybe they have thrown him in as a "stalking horse" to make Mitt (Mitt?) Romney look that much better.
Romney is a "Pretend Republican" with a handsome face and a too-glib comeback for every question asked that make you feel somehow "cheated" every time you witness his "act"...an empty suit.
Where are the real leaders? Where are the solid All American Men?
We got to find someone until President Rice comes on board in '12.
Condi is a pro-abort, Davos Republican. The stock of that group has tanked recently. How is she going to get in?
Dead cinch for the GOP nomination.
LOL, but it does! Perhaps it's only a stigma, but it is enough. You see, he was put in office by the same folks who put in Kennedy, Kerry, Dukakis, ad neauseum.
The country as a whole does not trust the MA voter to do the right thing, JMO.
And who would be your choice ?
Don't sweat the small stuff, Grasshopper.
She will change her mind on abortion.
Then she'll invite either Kathleen Harris or Michelle Malkin to be her running mates and all your problems vanish.
See? Quite simple.
Ok that's one objection removed. But Repub primary candidates need to demonstrate a loyalty, not to Davos, but to their own country.
The ports uproar showed a disconnect between the offical Republican economic platform and what the people (who are trying to find jobs, make a living) experience.
He's good, but it's never gonna happen .... unless McPain picks him as a running mate ...LOL!
Grasshopper. Your linear self-willed thought has your undergarments in knots.
Voters vote on "essences"... not particulars.
President Rice is an inexorable force.
The Flow with which we are destined to go.
