Believe me, coming from a Country that just finally got back to a real Conservative leader (both fiscally and socially and militarily) after 13 years of RED Lieberals, I can assure you, you DO NOT WANT A PURE Socialist Hillary Clinton. It will devestate your country.
I too am a Conservative who cares greatly for the CORE values regarding abortion, traditional marriage values, etc. but if the majority of the population does not value these things, then even getting a pure Conservative in will serve to further divide the Republican Party. I have noticed that the Republican's are willing, it seems, to eat their own and back stab and vote against their President, just to make a point. It must be terrible to be President Bush and to not be able to COUNT on your party to be united. That appears to be one thing the Liberals are willing to do - stay united. And that is how they win a lot of battles. Republicans never seem to learn. Perhaps a Guiliani can bring Republicans together. Perhaps. I don't like his stand on the core values either and I hate his stance on immigration. But he's still better than a Hillary Clinton. In case nobody has noticed, this Socialist Communist b*tch wants to rule the world. CO
It's not the authentic conservatives in Congress who are stabbing Bush in the back when he does the right thing, as in Iraq. It's the Washington-insider careerist clique, like Warner and McCain.
Rudy will never unite the Republican Party, because of his extremely liberal social views. I doubt that he is reliably conservative on anything else. He would continue the downslide of the Party, whose present problems are largely due to its having no clear ideals since Reagan and GIngrich left the arena. Just being "against terrorism" is not enough.
