I agree. He'd be a good Director of FEMA for a Democratic President! He would NEVER get my vote for President.

How about those on here that are trying to 'redefine' conservatism with their new, modern, phoney 'labels' for conservatism that include,,,,

"common sense conservative",,,,

"pragmatic conservative",,,

or "realistic conservative"???

Did I miss any?

Those are the new, trendy, artificial terms that many Rudy supporters have dreamt up--and used repeatedly here on FR to justify (and rationalize in their minds) their support of a LIBERAL, lawyer from New York--while diluting, obfuscating, fracturing and REDEFINING traditional principles of the Republican Party.

I guess this new political relativism can also be called artificial, 'manufactured conservatism' (my new term)!!

How about THIS INSTEAD? How about 'realistic liberal'? Or 'common sense liberal'? Or 'pragmatic liberal' for a change? Why do Republicans have to MOVE THE PARTY FURTHER TO THE LEFT, instead of the OTHER PARTY moving somewhat to the middle???

Amazing.

Other than he cleaned up NYC in the 90's, I don't really see what makes Rudy qualified to be the Republican nominee in 2008.

Hey, no one is asking you to vote for Rudy, are they?
