...and the Christians who believe in forgiveness, somehow seem to forget to practice it.
How does it feel, being duped so badly by the DNC? ;^)
Same here...
There are things I don't agree with Guiliani on and there are plenty of things that I do agree with him on. Overall I like him and I trust him. I'm a New Yorker who lived in NYC during his time as Mayor, so I have experience with him as a leader (He was a GREAT mayor. Maybe the best ever in NYC).
The DNC already sees that he has the capability of beating their candidate in a landslide should he get the nomination so they are already trying to prevent that from happening. I say BRING IT ON! Hahaha!!
And we're OFF!!!
I DON'T want activist judges to Ban Gay marriage, I want the States to decide, and IF a constitutional amendment were to pass that would be decided BY the States. The same goes for Abortion, Activist judges passed Roe vs. Wade which was WRONG and should have been left to the States to decide that issue... Rudy is in the right spot and has a very strong hand. This same argument also applies guns and all the other issues that were raised in this article. IF Rudy believes in STATES RIGHTS and makes a pledge to nominate ORIGINALIST JUDGES he will have smooth sailing.
Thats a lot of "ifs"
I think Rudy is fine as Republican Lite in a heavily Democratic place like NYC, but I cant see Joe on Omaha or Peggy in Lubbock voting for him.
I beleive he is unelectable at the national level
It is probable, that someone NOBODY is even thinking about, nor mentioned, is out there, who will appear and be someone most conservatives can and will rally around. At this time, in 1998, NOBODY was talking about George W.! But rest assured, it will NOT be some fringey KOOKBRGER, nor a "white knight".
And should that person NOT appear? Then we all MUST make sure that McQueeg doesn't win the GOP primary.
Yes, a Bayh/Richardson ticket would be very, very difficult to beat. And for those folks who say "but he's a liberal"...that may be true but he presents himself as a reasonable person.
However, I think the Democrats are too stupid to nominate him.
I hope you're right.
Spot on!
Bayh is NOT reasonable look at post 48-50.
Rudy is NOT a johnny-one-note candidate.
Yes, I know that. And you know it.
Unfortunately, he will be able to appeal to many who are left of us, which leaves about 99% of the electorate. They won't care about who he voted for or against, but rather how we presents himself.
The Democrats should've just told the truth and said "thank god the Republicans are nominating a liberal, we'll win even if we lose!"
Ron Paul isn't running and if he ever does, he has LESS chance of winning than I would have.
