I thoroughly enjoyed your post - and I am delighted to hear you and I agree - what a surprise that I am pleased by such a thing.
Last week in Greenville SC I attended a Leadership Seminar - Rudy Guillani was one of the speakers - others included::
Zig Ziglar
Steve Forbes
Peter Lower
Dr. Robert Schuller
Phil Town
Steve Spurrier
and the man who blew everyone away - Rudy Guilliani
It was the first time I have had seen him in person and it was the first time I saw him for longer than a TV segment.
Flat our impressed.
Very upbeat
Very positive on the future of the USA
Very realistic about the war on Islamo-Facists
Very pro business
Very very anti crime
The man has yet to even enter the race - but when he does - and when he has to begin to answer the questions, when he has to state his positions -
I think he will blow the competition off the floor.
GO RUDY
In your dreams Newt, will eat him for lunch and spit him out
I'm looking for a ruthless SOB for Pres in 08, does Rudy fit that bill?
Again, so because he is a great speaker, he should be President huh? WOO HOO GO SLICK RUDY!!! Whatever. NAme me one RINO that's ever gotten national appeal since 92? Or even since Reagan in 1980, when Democrats were still the majority. Just one. If you think a RINO like Giuliani represents most Republicans, then you don't get the Republican party. The New York Republican party is NOT the national Republican party, and the national GOP plank speaks for itself. Go read it sometime. It says what it does because of most Republican voters. Period. THAT is the "poll" I stand by. RINOs do not reflect GOP values. The last time they did, the GOP was a generational minority.
