>>>>Is it even remotely possible to have a debate on a presidential contender around here without being labeled a liberal because we disagree?

I'm very civil when it comes to discussing Gingrich, Romney, McCain and the others. Not when it comes to Rudy the liberal. Sorry.

>>>>Today's Republican Party and the Republican Party of Reagan and Gingrich are very different parties.

Wonder why? Reagan set the standard for conservatives, and Gingrich advanced the Reagan agenda even further. It was up to Bush to take it to the next level. Bush`s domestic agenda took the GOP leftward. Too much spending, expansion of the federal bureaucracy, increase in the welfare state and promoting liberal immigration reform.

>>>Again if a Reagenesque conservative enters the race then I will most likely back him.

That's good to hear.

>>>> ... if it is between Giuliani or McCain then I am going Giuliani.

That's not good to hear. Giuliani makes McCain look like a staunch rightwinger.

>>>>If we cant debate who our leader is going to be without delving into paranoia and attacking each other then we are f**k'd as a party.

Paranoia? LOL I'm not about to toss away my conservative principles, just because you've lost your mind. I was born and raised in Brooklyn of the 50`s and 60`s, and I grew up with guys like Rudy. I know what makes them tick. Rudy is a liberal to his core convictions. Rudy doesn't have a conservative bone in his body.

I like McCain's stanch on Iraq and Defense in general but that is about where it ends. Giuliani is for a Republican Candidate on the liberal side (though no Rockefeller) however McCain is a flip flopper in the first degree. "Wonder why? Reagan set the standard for conservatives, and Gingrich advanced the Reagan agenda even further. It was up to Bush to take it to the next level. Bush`s domestic agenda took the GOP leftward. Too much spending, expansion of the federal bureaucracy, increase in the welfare state and promoting liberal immigration reform. " No argument here.
