Events as yet to come int he world will dramatically shape the 208 election, in ways that we can't yet image. 9/11 was in no one's mind when W was inaugurated...it defined his presidency...or to put it more simplistically...it's difficult to picket an abortion mill in Queens, or the UN, when all of midtown Manhattan is contaminated by the residue of a dirty bomb exploding at Grand Central..
To allow the Neville Chamberlain party (democrats) to appease the terrorists will get far more people killed in the end. Rudy is the only one tough enough and articulate enough to stand up to the white flag wussies.
This may be the most important insight. We like to criticize liberals for choosing 'high culture' over fighting against Islamofacists because we think that path may lead to our demise. But, apparently we do similar thing. What's the point of pushing for getting a "Christian" president if it results in Hillary (or any other Dim) presidency, which is more likely to surrender to international pressure inc. from Islamic countries?
We like to say that WoT is a war for our survival: life-style, civilization, etc. And we look down upon liberals for complaining about 'human rights violation'. The way I see it, we are doing the same thing: we are complaining about 'life of the babies' at the expense of our own (and/or the future generation's) lives.
I am pro-life and I totally understand where you are coming from. Practically speaking the only way to reduce abortions is to get the right case to the Supreme Court and get it kicked back to the states to decide, where it should have been decided in the first place.
Well said. Funnily enough, I'm standing in Grand Central as I write this on my Palm Treo. You know, if something happened now, and I was allowed some final moments, I'd thank God for a President strong enough to get the bastards.
That's correct. He's not the liberal some wish he were, he's just not.
Maybe. Could be instead they'll become ex-Freepers.
If you don't support the Second Amendment, then you will not have my vote. All indications are that Rudy is hostile to the Second.
Unfortunately the election all but guaranteed that will not happen. We don't have enough conservative Justices and now we will not be able to get them on the court.
Are you planning to start a ping list? If so, please add me.
Like the abortion doctors he so lovingly supports? Or rip the guns from the cold dead hands of their (currently, but not with rudy)lawful owners? Or maybe the skank he shacked up with at he NY Governers mansion? I'm not sure your phrasing is coming across as intended.
With great reluctance I'd vote for Rudy too.
But a large number of social conservatives, most of whom have never heard of FR, will not. And that's why Giuliani will lose if he's the Republican candidate.
If we run a Republican social liberal against a Democrat social liberal, the Democrat will win. Social liberalism is the Democrats' home turf.
The Democrats and left-of-center independents will vote for the Democrat, and the remaining social liberal Republicans and independents will not have enough votes to offset the uncast votes from social conservatives who will stay home on election day.
This most recent election is solid proof of this phenomeon. Waving Pelosi's death grin gob menacingly at social conservatives didn't motivate them this time around. Screaming about Hillary won't do it next time.
If the choice is between two social liberals seeking to implement the same family-destroying agenda, why bother to vote?
What do you think?
Balance of the SUPREME COURT is also at stake in the next election and I truly believe Rudy will appoint conservative Judges. He will not have a pro baby killing litmis test.
It's a set back, but all is not lost yet.
Actually, he said Ginsberg was his model of an excellent Supreme Court justice.
Does that change your mind?
