I know the man has faults. But my feelings right now Is our Nation needs a leader and as of this moment I can think of no one better. Many in the party hated Eisenhower too, Goldwater called his administration a "Dime Store New Deal" but can you honestly say he was not a excellent leader? Reagan as governor of California governed much more liberally then when he was President. Some people change. I can't say Rudy has, I pray he has, but I cant say that he has because it would be a lie. He has not released any policy positions yet so I can not make a final decision yet. I pray for our party and nation to find our next Reagan not for Rudy to get the nomination.

You have no Idea how much I am praying for a Reagan 2 to come out of the shadow's, but I just can't think of one Republican out there that fits the bill. If you do dear god share it with the rest of us!

IMO, Rudy did a some good things for NewYorkers, but he's still a liberal. His leadership is all centered around the immediate aftermath of 9-11. That's not enough in my book. Bottomline. Conservatives will not support Rudy in the GOP primaries. Especially social conservatives. And without the Republican Party base backing Rudy, his candidacy is DOA. Some polls may show Rudy on top. Wait until people get to see his liberal governing record and his ultra social liberal positions. Some FReepers are so infatuated with Rudy, it rivels what happened around here during the 2003 Cal recall election. I said at that time, if the liberal Republican Arnold Scwarzenegger wins, it will open the door for other liberal Republicans like Giuliani. I was right. Here we go again. Except this time the playing field is a lot bigger --- the White House and the Oval Office. I will not vote for a liberal. This conservative will never vote for Rudy.
