If I was you, I'd do some serious research on Rudy the liberal before considering a leftwinger for POTUS. Huh? What leftwinger? My point is merely that both Guliani AND McLame are unacceptable. If either get the nomination, there will be a great sucking sound - a mass desertion of the party by social and moral conservatives. Mark my words.

I haven't done battle with gun grabbing, abortion pushing, sodomy approving liberal moonbats for 50 years, to turn around and vote for one.

Actually, Lincoln was a libertarian. He certainly wasn't going to use the government to interfere in people's personal and economic lives. I remember a quote from him, saying that anything should be permissible, as long as a man does not harm another person.
By the way, do you have any proof that Rudy is a fiscal liberal, like the President?

How about Rudy in a number 2 slot behind a solid Conservative? I was kind of shocked that Rudy placed 2nd in the Repbs Georgia Straw Poll. Only native son Newt beat him. That may be just be name recognition and it may be not.

"I'd certainly prefer Rudy to Hillary. I might get flamed, but I'd prefer him over McCain too." Agreed on Rudy over Hillary or McPain, but you don't have to look too far to find a better Conservative than Rudy.
Right now, George Allen will make an interesting candidate IMO. But its early yet.

I remember MANY people after four years of Bill Clinton saying things just like that. Then we got four more years of him.

I may be wrong but Rudy is also pretty much fiscally conservative so that is a big plus as well to keep this economy rolling.

I will not vote for RudyG. First time I'll vote third party in my life, for sure.
I hold the same position on Rudy Giuliani that JimRob has towards John McCain.

If we get Hillary or another democrat then that person will appoint 2 or three Ginsberg clones to replace SCOUS retirements. Think of that.And how will that change the makeup of the Supremes? The next two most likely to retire are Ginzy and comrade Stevens. Perhaps the poofster Souter may leave too. The statis quo is the result.
You can shake the hoary head of Hillary! at me all you like. I am not afraid.

I'll agree; of course my first choice would be a true Conservative (both fiscally and socially) would be Pence.
I can't see many others than he that would fit the bill of being a true 'conservative-conservative' in the line of Reagan or Goldwater..

I would rather vote for a canadate who I think would do well on the biggest issue we are facing then to get someone who might be 100% in line with my views but not as capable a leader in the War on Terror.Illegal immigration? Crickets chirping...

"My point is merely that both Guliani AND McLame are unacceptable. If either get the nomination, there will be a great sucking sound - a mass desertion of the party by social and moral conservatives. Mark my words" As many independents and MANY quasi-Democrats would flock into the polls to vote for him. I doubt anybody would particularly notice the sucking sound.

Whatever label you want to pin on him, there is no disputing that Abraham Lincoln trampled on the Constitution, instituted the income tax, denied habeas corpus, and fomented a war that cost 600,000 American lives.
The Democrats and the RINOS love to worship at the altar of Abraham, which should be instructive enough.
He was our worst President, by far.

First time I'll vote third party in my life, for sure. Yeppers. And that Jim Rob rant on McManiac is a classic. I missed it. Thanks for digging it up!

I think what we all want is to keep Hillary out of the White House. I'll vote for the Republican nominee regardless of who it is.

Around FR it looks like Tom Tancredo, Newt Gingrich and George Allen are garnering some serious support. Tancredo is a solid Reagan conservative, who is serious about seeing HR4437 become law. Gingrich is the architect of the Contract With America and responsible for the GOP regaining control of Congress in 1994. For now, George Allen is a big question mark for me, but Allen has a conservative record on most issues. Pence has no national support and I don't think he has much regional support either.
