Empty, meaningless spin.
I'm supporting Hunter at this point. The fifth columnists are not helping him. On purpose, I might add.
But I do suggest that everyone take the time to read all of the articles posted to it, so that they can see what else is posted there; it will prove to be quite enlightening!
I believe that life is sacred and should not be treated as a commodity. I believe that the institution of marriage needs to be preserved. For now at least, good judges are best way to protect the institution of marriage and move America closer to the day when a debate on the local level can begin again about the value of human life. In order for us to have this debate in state legislatures we must win the next fight over the next Supreme Court vacancy, and if we lose the next presidential election than we will have taken a major step backwards in our quest to replace the current liberal ideology on the highest bench. More than any potential Republican president, Rudy Giuliani will have the easiest time getting strict constructionists confirmed to the Supreme Court and the lower courts.
Think of four scenarios: 1) A Hillary appointment 2) A court battle in which a thinly elected Republican administration that is led by someone who is avidly pro-life faces down a probably Democratic controlled Senate 3) A court battle in which the overwhelmingly elected Republican administration is led by the Bull Moose lover himself, Mr. McCain 4) A court battle in which pro-choice Giuliani, elected and respected by a huge majority of Americans, makes the argument that strict constructionist jurisprudence is needed in the 21st century. He did after all strongly support Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, and he said that he would have made Justice Scalia Chief Justice. As important, Giuliani can actually make a personal case for a specific legal doctrine. The mayor is a former high ranking Justice department attorney who has argued before the Supreme Court.
To reclaim the Senate and Congress, to hold onto the White House, to build a sustainable Republican majority, and to advance conservative principles, we Republicans must unite together and support a candidate who can win the hearts of the vast majority of Americans.
Only when we win hearts can we then win minds.

Everything is meaningless if you're a disruptor.
Of course, I could be wrong, but why would you do their work for them?
Gosh, you could have a point if these liberals like Giuliani actually were actually Republicans.
Are you aware that of 60 appointments to the courts that Rudy had available to him during his term as Mayor, NOT ONE was a Republican, much less a conservative?
I keep hearing all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from you, but the answer to a Rudy candidacy is for conservatives to put up a stronger Republican candidate, and Duncan Hunter ain't it.
Oh, and anyone YOU support won't win anyway. That's not hyperbole, it's based on your lousy track record.
When is Keyes announcing or is he still banging on fence posts?
Seems to me that it's you who is doing their work for them by trying to nominate a leftist who will destroy the Republican Party.
Every FREEPER should read ALL of the articles on RenewAmerica. ;^)
I have "nominated" or come out in favor of any candidate. You're wrong about that TOO.
Really? All of my candidates won in November. How did the RINOs you've taken to supporting do?
Care to dispute the core premise of the posted column? Or do you want to drag in old disputes in lieu of actually making your case?
Have NOT nominated or chosen a candidate yet.
Care to dispute the core premise of the article? Or just make personal attacks in lieu of such?
Sure - that's why he's polling higher than any other Republican candidate.
And Howard Dean was outpolling John Kerry in NH in December 2003 by 40-12.
It's waay too early to be crowing about polls.
Evie, you disruptor, here is my propmise. I promise to vote for the most conservative candidates in the primary and the republican in the general. No amount of resentment or anger against the fifth columnist scum or against the fringe element of the right will sway that promise. Thats a one-way street, disruptor, as you will advise the useful idiots to take their ball and go home. Regardless, thats my promise.
