Rudy said last night on with Hannity that he supports a partial birth abortion ban.
No, but it's worth noting that NYC, if it were it's own state, would be equal in population size to Georgia and bigger then Massachusetts or Arizona.
Thirded.
The local conservative station allows him to call up and sound off for 15 - 20 minutes every other week or so. He's like the Joe Conason of the right, just not as nasty. Everything sucks, my view is not prevailing and because of that, the world is coming to an end, wah-wah-wah. Then he spends the rest of his air time trying to get subscriptions to NRO.
Nice try, paperboy.
Totally predictable coming from Jeffries.
Welcome to FR! Good post!
The so-called 'socons' are not afraid of Rudy. We are opposed to Rudy. Just like we're opposed to every other liberal. You want to find out how much of a base the 'socons' have? Keep foisting liberals like Rudy on them and then call them names when they refuse to accept as their candidate a man who is fundementally opposed to everything they believe. Then the 'socons' will leave the GOP and the Republican Party will fade into permanent insignificance.
But...all that said, I think this kind of infighting (not between you and I but rather between factions of the party) is really counterproductive at this point. I will do nothing to oppose Rudy or any other Republican candidate. I will support whoever I see as a reliable conservative and let the chips fall where they may. But I will never vote for a liberal for President, Republican or Democrat. I just really wish we could delay the start of this campaign...who wants a two year presidential campaign season?
Bottom line: If you want to vote for someone who can beat Hillary, then you better go with Rudy. Otherwise, you are throwing your vote away to a 3rd party candidate and giving Shillary a clean path to the presidency. Newt is un-electable in a general election, as is Romney and Brownback. And McCain is....well McCain is McCain. Nuff' said.
My how running for president makes liberal republicans suddenly see the light.
Uhh, actually, it's the 'socons' that would fade into permanent insignificance. And I say that as someone who's 100% pro-life and at least leans to the right on most other social issues.
I don't agree that Romney is unelectable, and actually, McCain has less problems then Rudy in a lot of ways.
I'm not supporting anybody for sure right now, I'm just sticking up for Rudy when people attack him for stupid reasons, as I'd defend anybody who's on my side more often then not.
If a Democrat is electable, Rudy is electable. In fact, Rudy should be running as Democrat.
That's your choice. The alternative is Hillary, who agrees with you probably 0% of the time. Make your choice.
I'm not voting for him for Christian reasons.....there are more important issues to me.
Don't kid yourself.
"If you want social engineering, join the party that favors it. It starts with "D" and ends with "rat"."
Uh...gay marriage is "social engineering," if anything ever was, and RINO Rudy can bring himself to oppose it unequivocally. And partial birth infanticide is murder. If this so-called hard-line "anti-crime" guy can't even speak unequivocally against that either, he's completely untrustworthy.
Few people here seem to remember that Richard Nixon campaigned for the nomination in 1968 sounding like Goldwater. It's what RINOs and unprincipled pragmatists like Nixon do to con the Republican base. Once in office, Nixon gave us the VietNam bailout, wage & price controls, and other horrors. That's what you get when you fall for RINO doubleltalk, like that Rudy and Mitt are handing us now.
We'll see. Better brace yourself.
I interpreted it to mean that if you tolerate deviant behavior, then you'll likely tolerate even more (increasingly) deviant behavior, but just how much you'll tolerate is unknown, until it's too late and things are out of hand.
I don't see Romney beating Hillary in a general election. And McCain is about as interesting as watching grass grow. He is the No-Doze candidate with some of his recent TV appearances. Geez....
