I really like Rudy as a person and a leader. But, he is very liberal on social issues and I can not in good conscience vote for someone who is pro choice, pro gay marriage/rights, pro open borders, and against the second amendment. I will have to vote third party if he is the nominee.

He would make a good democrat as has been suggested earlier.

If you read the article, you will see that Rudy induces rabies in Democrats.

I don't think a guy who has them marching in the streets chanting,"Giuliani have you heard/This is not Johannesberg" would make a very good Democrat.

"pro gay marriage/rights, pro open borders,"

Perhaps you'll be good enough to show me where Rudy was seen promoting open borders or gay marriage, yes?

I think everyone underestimates how pro "getting elected" Rudy is. His second amendment position is easily changed as is the 'gay marriage' and 'illegal immigration enforcement' issues. He'll simply say that those are positions which were 'right' for New York City, while being 'wrong' for the country, and enough people will buy into it.

But we're talking a completely different story where abortion is concerned. I think it's an interesting question to ask if there is ANYONE out there who is reliably pro-life and looks like a winning candidate for president. For the left, the "right to kill babies" is paramount... they will go to the mattresses over that issue, and in many cases would rather lose than give in on that fight. For them you see it's not about killing anyone, it's the right to have sex with anyone they want without fear of bearing the responsibility of any consequences.

so I think it begs the question... Is there a candidate out there so strong in other areas that he will be able to be pro-life and still get elected?

If the realistic answer is no, then Rudy starts to look like a potential winner.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Rudy is NOT PRO-GAY MARRIAGE! He believes in marriage only between a man and a woman. He's for Gay rights but not Gay Marriage. Not the same thing as Gay Marriage

Sounds like The Wall Street Journal editorial page is ready for a Democrat president.

Nominating Guiliani WOULD accomplish one thing. It would make the Republicans clean house and start all over again..

At this point, that probably wouldn't be a bad thing.

The Wall Street Journal is fast becoming the RINO Bible.
