2008: Republicans: Giuliani
"The question is this: Can the thrice-married New Yorker a supporter of abortion rights, gay rights and gun control win the nomination of a Republican Party that has become increasingly dependent on and influenced by conservative Christians?," poses Susan Page of USA Today in her front page look at the conundrum Giuliani faces in his battle for the White House.
Note that Family Research Council's Tony Perkins finds Giuliani "unacceptable," and plans to take him out if he shows strength.
Note also Page marshalling data suggesting that Giuliani's liberal views are not well known within the party.
Jonathan Tamari of the Asbury Park Press reports that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) has lined up an army of Garden State GOP supporters including nearly 300 legislators, chairmen, and mayors, and failed U.S. Senate candidate Tom Kean, Jr. New Jersey's presidential primary may be held as early as Feb. 5, 2008

Rudy is winning Ohio, and that has a lot of Family Rearsearch Council types worried.

I long have considere Pat Robinson to be unbalanced. Another black mark against Rino Rudy.

Wow, no drag picture until #19! People are really slowing down. ;-D

Lets hear what Rudy has to say in the primaries on these issues. He's already DEMONSTRATED what he thinks, which is way more useful in evaluating politicians than what they "say" stump speeches.

Absolutely correct. I have said for the mast couple of years that Rudy should have ran for Senator or Governor in NY in 2006. He could well have won either; he will not be president. He may well split the party and help elect Hillary. I'm not saying Rudy is a bad guy - I'm just saying, for better or worse, he is NOT what the Republican base wants. Again, he could have done NY a lot of good.

that has become increasingly dependent on and influenced by conservative Christians As if every single President in our history wasn't completely required to present himself as a Bible believing Christian. (Including Thomas Jefferson)

This will all be moot if Hellary is the opposition.
To: Zeroisanumber
Exactly... but don't expect others to understand or accept that.
To: meg88
Can the thrice-married New Yorker a supporter of abortion rights, gay rights and gun control win the nomination of a Republican Party... Yes!
Can he be elected? Maybe
Will he get my vote? NO!
Before I get flamed, I believe it is far better to keep your enemy outside your camp than within. That is why I didn't vote for Kay Baily Hutchison in the last election.

The bottom line is not letting Hillary in the White House, and if Rudy gives us the best chance to avoid that, we are just going to have to play the hand we've been dealt. I don't like it, but there it is.
