Conservatives may have a simple choice: Giuliani or Hillary.
Bingo. Again Mr. Pissant.
And that is what makes Duncan Hunter the most electable candidate on the ticket.
He is solid conservative who is non offensive to moderates and even many liberals.
They may. But not if we derail that train.
Me too. See tag
Please double tinfoil protection and reset all decoder devices. Thank you.
I agree with you about being under fire, however, the fire is coming from radical Islam AND radical moral degeneracy within our own country. Both are equally dangerous to our Republic, in my view. I like Rudy, I really do, but the combination of liberal social views AND a libertine lifestyle will prevent me from supporting him in the primary. (That said, in the General Election -- if he were the nominee -- I would support him.)
How is someone going to become known unless the grassroots pushes them?
--------------------------------------
Repub have got to stop destroying our own.
Last time I checked, this was a conservative forum, not a republican one.
--------------------------------------
Do you know what the implication of a dem victory and control over all THREE houses would be ?
Hmmm, a two term Republican president and control over both houses by the GOP just like after the last clinton?
-------------------------------------------
Free republic and talk radio would be shut down !
Really? Then why didn't they do that last time?
-------------------------------------------
Think about that while you go on and on and on with the Rudy trashing.
I think the owner of FR would understand the results of a dem victory pretty well, would you like to see some of his quotes about Rudy?
-------------------------------------------
He is a decent guy
To which of his 3 wives?
-------------------------------------------
and will protect our freedom of speech
Thats the first, what about the second?
-------------------------------------------
which is will be taken away in 2008 if Hillary is in charge
If she takes away the first amendment, the revolt against the dems will be so large that Republicans wil be in power for ages.
-------------------------------------------
Nobody's perfect - except Ronald Reagan. Until our next RR comes along, we'll have to make do with what we've got.
i think you are exactly right. those of us who are on this forum, are obviously political junkies who are going to be motivated to vote no matter what. there are plenty of people who vote conservative, but are not your die-hards who will go to the polls no matter what. if/when rudy becomes the candidate and tanks, it will be those conservatives on this forum who will be blamed by the pro-Rudy types for being unappeasable and staying home, when in reality, it will be Rudy's failure to capture the voters who just weren't motivated enough by his candidacy to go to the polls. i am also skeptical that there are enough reagan democrats who will crossover to vote for him. i know everyone has their anecdotal evidence of knowing a dem who would vote for him, but the ones i know WON'T.
You won't have choice Antoninus. If you sit it out should Giuliani get the nomination I can respect your reasoning. I will contend that it is flawed whether I respect it or not.
There will be only two candidates in the race. The Democratic candidate will grab more guns, promote more abortions, promote more of the homosexual agenda, isregard our borders worse and grow a bigger, higher taxing government than the GOP nominee. And these will be the only two in the race.
Hunter can win in the 2008 General. I don't believe Giuliani can because he will not be able to motivate values voters to go to the polls.(The Dole connection)
No one is going to call every voter on election day and say "Do you like Giuliani or Hillary?" If that was how the election worked then Rudy would have a chance. It's not, he doesn't. But if he is the GOP nominee... I will not get Perot burn. I will not look back and think man... if only...
The commandment of Christ to me is to be salt and light. I have to do that in the world I am given.
I think the one good thing about the MSM pushing Rudy on us is that it has been very energizing to those of us on the right. I never did well with authority & someone telling me who I HAVE to vote for just doesn't sit well with me.
I'll be busting my tail - to keep Rudy from winning the primaries. I hope everyone here that doesn't just accept that he's our man - does the same.
GO DUNCAN HUNTER!!!
The Clinton machine never spoon fed me anything. They are traitorous rats, and I believe not a wit of what their acolytes in the MSM have to say. I'm wide awake.
But apparently you are not. You are confusing Hunter for Tancredo. Hunter is not a one issue candidate. His positions can be briefly summarized as this:
Strengthen the Military
Victory over the terrorists
Confronting China's market manipualtions and growing power
A real FENCE at the border, the entire border
More tax relief
Protection of 2nd Amendment Rights
Fair and equitable trade
Peace through Strength
Strict Constructionist judges only
i am skeptical that duncan hunter has the ability to be elected, though he looks good on paper. i don't see anyone being the perfect candidate, but i, too,chafe at being told IN THE PRIMARY SEASON, that i have to vote for someone like rudy giuliani. i would vote for him in the general election but it would be with a barf bag in hand. he is, at best, an extremely flawed candidate, and IMO not remotely our silver bullet against hillary.
A New York gun grabber will lose almost all of the South.
The Republican Party has out liberaled the Democrats.
The slow steady slide this country is making from its foundation is painful to watch and I have watched it for over a half century...
Outrage is what is needed but what we'll have is more bleating. The American sheep have been well conditioned.
"Everytime I make this point. I get Rudy folks asking me 'Yea but will you vote for him if he gets it.' Yes. Yes, I will."
No, No, I won't.
I won't vote for a pro-abort for president. It's not an acceptable choice.
President Hillary, the terrorists, and the bureaucrats hired by the new national health care plan thank you.
