That is a brilliant quote.
Well, count my vote for Rudy. And I do vote in primaries.
don't tell that to the rudy fans on the board. That must mean that conservative primary voters actually want hillary to be elected president if they don't vote for rudy.
Immigration and gay marriage would have been stopped him from winning anyway.
Someone needs to report this thread to a mod....uh...never mind.
Rudy has a strong 84% conservative approval rating. (Battle ground poll as of Jan.11, '07)
Rudy would never get involved in any discussion of gays or abortion or anything else involving morality, since he knows he'd be (justly) accused of hypocrisy.
Indeed, in one recent poll, majorities of Republicans who were informed of Giuliani’s views on social issues said that they were either minor issues or no issues at all; only 16% said that they wouldn't vote for him after being informed of these views.
In the online GOP Bloggers poll, Giuliani is consistently one of the few candidates to end up with a net positive acceptability rating. These internet denizens are well-informed, and overwhelmingly self-describe as conservative (78% self-describe as 7 or higher on a 10-scale of conservatism). If these people can support Rudy, anyone can.

It's about CORE values, and Rudy is nowhere near the real Republican core values.
Perhaps not enough. Rudy may have the momentum to bring ALL Republicans out to the primaries.
This thread will prove how some "conservatives" want Republicans to lose every election possible.
Giuliani (D-NY) is pond scum if he won't stand up for the lives of unborn children.
if all the GOP can come up with in 2008 are left-wing scum like Giuliani and McCain and if the GOP refuses to kick those 2 losers out of the party, I hope Hillary wins in 2008, maybe then the GOP will learn another lesson, they obviously learned nothing in 2006 by Pelosi taking control of the House and Republicans getting beat all across the country
fyi
Pro life conservatives are the strongest grassroots primary voters.
"Now, what about a climate — not to mention a Republican presidential candidate — that not only tolerates, but allows unelected judges to legalize the practice of delivering a child until only its head remains within its mothers womb so the child can be killed by sucking out its brains?
What about a climate where same-sex couples are given the same legal status as married couples, whether the resulting arrangements are candidly called “same-sex marriages,” or are semantically papered-over with terms such as “civil unions” or “domestic partnerships”? "
I noticed how Reagan managed to change this? Wasn't he a Conservative? How did this work out for him?
The MsM loves Rudy Giuliani vs Hillary, why IS THAT?...
And NO RED FLAGS ARE GOING UP...
Are republicans autistic?..
Well .. Rudy's opinion is about where Cheney is .. so saying Rudy's against marriage is grossly wrong. He still believes "marriage" is between a man and a woman .. but he's not opposed to civil unions (which he believes is the job of each state to decide).
My how the anti-Rudy people are so eager to distort everything Rudy says .. it even sounds a little like what the Hillary campaign will be saying about him ..??
Right on! Thank you for posting this. This shows that at least some Republicans aren't drinking the KoolAid.
Given the choice between the frontrunners, I like Rudy the most. While there may be others that I'd like to see run (Hunter? Tancredo?) I don't think that they're electable.
Unless...either Hillary! or AlGore steal the (D) nomination. Then, it doesn't really matter who the Republicans run, because their core will come sprinting home. Heck, I'd even vote for John McCain if he was running against Gore or Clinton.
