---"You have yet to be correct about anything, in ANY post, on this thread."---

Considering my posts usually consist of links to polls, that is about as ridiculous a claim as anyone has ever made. The Duncan Hunter stuff was done in facetiousness, since I've seen you trying to sell your Rudy fetish before.

You don't debate people, you just hurl insults. You then make claim as fact things that make me wonder if you actually understand the dictionary definition of the word "fact." Yeah, you Rudy guys (gals) are really winning everybody over.......LOL

But that's okay, you've got the winning strategy: alienate the Conservative grassroots and sell the Iraq War to the Moderates and Liberals. The grassroots will gladly understand that none of their issues matter anymore, only the war, and the Moderates and Liberals will all come lining-up for four more years of GOP Presidency and war based on the sheer character of Rudy Giuliani. Oh yeah, I can just see his swearing-in now.......

As far as Conservative credentials, Newt is a universe ahead of Rudy Giuliani. Outside of assumptions he'll be tough on terror, and a decent record as a prosecutor, Rudy has none. Even his so-called fiscal Conservatism is in question when you account for his funding of Liberal Social programs like abortion, and the fact that he got NY temporarily out of the red by BORROWING tons of money that will have to be paid year by year. Bush "balanced" the budget, too, also by running up massive debts. You don't hear ANYONE calling him a fiscal Conservative anymore, and Rudy deserve the same scrutiny.

Newt won nationally, bucked a generation of history in leading the GOP to power, and was Speaker of the House. Outside of being Mayor of one of the most liberal, if not the most liberal, cities in America, Rudy has won nothing and proven nothing. In his first steps on a national campaign, he lost key campaign documents, has already retooled his staff, and has dropped consistently in state and primary polls for the last few months.

All Rudy has done so far is foul-up and try to reinvent himself. And that's from the already questionable character who's perhaps the single most Liberal candidate to run on the GOP side in my lifetime (arguably Gerald Ford could have been).

You may like him and hurl all the insults you always do. But you are FOOLING yourself if you think that all of us who have been fighting for years on important Conservative issues are just going to give them all up for the sake of getting behind Rudy. Better to lose an election than everything you believe in. To many of us there is more to lose on so many of our key issues - MORE to lose - by electing Rudy than by suffering through four years of Clinton and trying to get it right in 2012.

Rudy can't win. He can't. This ISN'T NY City - it's national.
