DNC Statement on Giuliani's Potential Presidential Bid

Democrats.org ^

[nitzy]

He wasn't viewed that way by the country in '96. He was loved by many and he only got 49%.

[Darnright]

What did you guys expect. They've smelled blood in the water; heck, they've tasted blood, by knocking George Allen out of the race so completely.

They're moving on to the next opponent.

[engrpat]

You may be right. A big part of the problem is Bush's total and obscene fixation on amnesty. He sure doesn't seem to be very concerned about the future of the party considering the new leadership for the RNC, his refusal come to out swinging on anything but immigration. Bush and the RNC is setting us up to lose again in '08.

[Dead Corpse]

It's a psychological malady called "projection". Epidemic among Rudy haters.

If you want to vote for a NY liberal... go for it. Just don't expect people to get any more excited over Rudy than they did Dole.

[subterfuge]

I will not crawl over broken glass to vote for this guy and I will not spend the next 2 years working for Republicans to rehabilitate Rudy's image. You thought conservatives stayed home this election? You haven't seen anything yet. If he is the best Repubicans have to offer then it is all over my friends.

[subterfuge]

Darn right the Dems are afraid of Guiliani. Rudy is the only person who can beat Hillary, and they know it.

It's great to see conservatives and REpublicans already letting Hillary and the liberals dictate who we're going to put up for the presidential election. (*#%^@*!!!)Rinos like Rudy are what lost us the mid-terms people.

[subterfuge]

I can assure you that if the GOP nominates Rudy there will be MILLIONS of social conservatives who will find a 3rd party candidate to vote for.

Count me as one of those. I WILL NOT abandon my principles for a dress-wearing, gay-marching, Saturday Night Live skit adulterer with a lisp. I WILL NEVER vote for someone like that to lead the United States of America!! EVER!!

[subterfuge]

I hate not being able to edit posts! If you're a self-described conservative and you don't vote for Rudy (if the 2008 matchup is Rudy v. Hilary) then you're a moron.

If you vote for Rudy, ever, you are a liberal. I don't think you even believe what you post and you're only here to subvert the conservative mindset. Have some respect and don't call other FReepers morons please.

[Got a right to Life? . . Huh?]

I agree that Rudy should not run and could not win the republican primary. He's so far left on social issues that Hillary may find herself to right of Rudy.

[subterfuge]

Just caught a nanosecond of Matthews and he acted worried about Rudy- " men love him, he's a guy's guy , he brings in big crowds everywhere, even the deep South.." The Democrats are definitely worried about Rudy, as well they should be.

This is Mathews' way of pumping up the weak-kneed Republicans into liking Rudy. It is a win-win for Chrissy the Muppet as he gets his wishes no matter what. (Open borders, gay agenda, abortion on demand)

[Preachin']

"Clearly the dems are a little worried about him."

No they aren't. They simply are taking the opportunity to remind the Christian conservative base not to vote for him.

They didn't need to tell me that.

Part of me wants to see him get the nomination, just so the "moderates" (read that as pro-aborts) will finally see just how big an issue that is.

He'll get trounced if he gets the nomination.

[Fester Chugabrew]

DNC: "Don't throw us into that briar patch."

[Got a right to Life? . . Huh?]

We must advance a serious pro-life candidate in 08'.

Americans are more than ready for a policy move to the right on abortion policy. Polling over the last 10 years shows solid movement to the right. The status quo is supported by about 20% of the electorate.

There is virtually no room to move to the left on abortion policy, unless you want state funded, compulsory abortions.

[Preachin']

"There is virtually no room to move to the left on abortion policy, unless you want state funded, compulsory abortions."

Correct. Let's pray this thing through.

I refuse to sit by and watch the pro-aborts take this party.

We have worked to long and prayed too long!

[Anti-Hillary]

I would LOVE to see a TRUE conservative come forward. Who do you propose? And don't give me Romney. Evangelicals everywhere, will run for the hills.

I have been all over different threads asking people to come up with a viable CONSERVATIVE candidate. You give me one and I personally will start a petition campaign to get them into this race!!!!

BTW, notice my tagline...

to name a few who are much farther to the right

[fatima]

Bump.

[cva66snipe]

That's because Rudy will cut deeply into Hilary's votes. He would probably be able to carry California and/or New York. Of course, they are scared of him. Unfortunately I am too, but for different reasons....

Let's see the DEM's paint him liberal {which he is} Hillary then runs to the right of Rudy {not a difficult task for her to do by any means}. Hillary beats Rudy by keeping the Conservative DEM base home and disgusting the Conservative base of the GOP so they again sit one out. Rudy will not win against Hillary or any other DEM willing to run to the right of him.

[fatima]

I shan't take kindly to it.heehee.

[fatima]

Push Rudy down our throat's and you will have three.
