Neither. I consider McQueeg only marginally better than Frenchy. Rather than choose, I would prefer to proceed without a CO. Me and my crew will share CO duties. Couldn't do much worse than either of those two political jokes.
"I'll make sure to bring a barf bag to the polls in November in case I lose it."
I already do that below the federal level, but last year I decided to stop. No more pulling that voting lever on a "least worse" basis. I'm all done with that. In California, its gotten me nothing but even more liberal governance. The federal level, I would agree, is a little different with more at stake. Even so, I am thinking very seriously about adopting the same "no more least worse" choices at the federal level.
Look, voting in pretend-conservatives who are really liberals in RINO clothing only gets you more of the same. With distrust of the federal government at an all time completely justifiable high, I see less and less reason to continue to participate in a process that lacks honesty, integrity and which has become thoroughly corrupt. Too many lies, denials and coverups.
In other words, I no longer trust them.
A Giuliani presidency would keep the Supreme Court under the control of a liberal majority for a least ten more critical years, and probably longer. You wouldn't recognize the US after they were finished with it.
"I vote for no more wars. How's that for a platform?"
That platform sucks. We may need to make war upon Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong Il in the near future. I certainly would not take the use of force off the table.
This is exactly why America needs Rudy and not the surrender monkies that infest both parties.
BTTT
I agree with you both. Rudy is, perhaps, the best person of either party to prosecute the War on Terror, the determinative issue of our time. Rudy is tough. He is experienced. He is bright. He is eloquent. And he has the confidence of most of America. (And wouldn't he automatically get New York?) And unlike the poseurs in DC, when Rudy is a conservative is a conservative in deed:
The Democrats generally, and the clintons, in particular, are deadly dangerous, especially now. They cannot be trusted with our national security. We must focus on defeating the terrorists. The War on Terror and the "RINO" assault are separate problems often with conflicting solutions. (And, in any case, the root cause of what we call the RINO problem isn't the RINO: It is the professional pol. To belatedly focus on the RINO doesn't fix that problem and only undermines our war effort, i.e., in order to "show 'em," some of us are willing to put the proximate cause of 9/11--the clintons--back in the Oval Office.) By conflating the two problems, we would be all but ensuring that we will solve neither. We would be playing right into the clintons' hand. Let's get a little perspective here and put these two issues in descending order of--if not priority--expected mortality endpoints.

Another point: What kind of a court do you think hillary would appoint?
fyi
A Giuliani presidency would keep the Supreme Court under the control of a liberal majority for a least ten more critical years, and probably longer. You wouldn't recognize the US after they were finished with it.
I actually don't think this is so. Look at his governance. (see post 266.) And don't overlook his comments about Alito and Roberts. He is more conservative than his image or the press would have you believe.
And, in any case, what do you think the court would look like if hillary got her paws on it again?
There are safer, winning, conservative choices than Giuiliani.
bump
Although I cannot think of one, ;) that isn't really my main point.
My main point is that we must hang together. We must vote, and we must vote GOP. To do anything else is to place a de facto vote for hillary or whichever horror the Ds serve up.
