Giuliani Interests GOP State Conventioneers (California)

So expecting a basic modicum of respect for the positions of FR is too much to ask?

Provided the poster is polite, any viewpoint can be expressed. A discussion forum is about discussing ideas. Different views are what make this forum interesting. If two people agree on everything, then one of them isn't thinking.

Frankly, the anti-Rudy forces tend to be much less civil and more disrespectful than the "Rudyophiles." You might want to check the log in your own eye.

Giuliani and Schwarzennegar in the same room. Wow.

All they'll lack is Bloomberg, Pataki, Whitman, Snowe and Specter for a complete set. At least they win elections!

The new GOP: Government Of Peabrains

I promise you, without Bush support for KENNEDY's No Child Left Alone, it would have gone nowhere. The same is true for the rest of your assertions. The GOP went along with Bush more often than not, if only to avoid embarassing him.

I agree with you on that. When I said that 'the GOP' was to blame, that of course included its leader.

[beltfed308]

You got that right. Just like lemmings. Just follow and never mind that there's a cliff.

Leave it to the Republican party where losing by 1 run is better than 10 runs but winning is not an option.

I can make up my own mind about candidates and what they stand for, thanks.

Oh, and while I said that your earlier post was the silliest I've read all day, after your comments about National Review and Mona Charen, I take it back. THAT post was the dumbest I've seen all day.

You have a terrific day finding yourself marginalized more and more as time goes by.

I guess just like Rudy when he first started as mayor when NYC was the worst of the worst. When bottomed out you can only go up. There is time.

That's not a negative as you make it sound, you gotta give the mayor some teeny weeny credit, right? Rudy didn't go up with NYC; he actually lifted it up to new heights.

I sincerely would like to see Hunter doing something to get some recognition or he'll be toast when Newt enters the race.

Many here have pointed that observation out quite clearly.

I am one of those who made the decision to support Rudy based on that hatred.

After looking into him as a candidate, I found out that what was being said about him had no credibility what so ever. It was all based on biased innuendo.

Same here - whoever gets the nomination gets my vote.

Conservatives have already handed McCain his walking papers. Rudy is next.

Rudy isn't a moderate. He isn't a liberal. He's a Republican who has more socially liberal positions on 2-3 issues than you do.

Good luck trying to find that perfect Republican/conservative. It's not going to happen.

Ronald Reagan himself could not get elected in today's climate. Here are the negatives that you all would give him:

Divorced, married Nancy while she was pregnant, signed gun control legislation, gave us amnesty, ran from the terrorists in Lebanon, gave us two pro abort judges, and raised taxes 4 times while president.

So? What's it matter when all you end up with is another facilitator of socialism?

[areafiftyone]

You have no freaking idea what socialism is do you? Go to Venezuela that may enlighten you a bit.

Along with Romney.

[melancholy]

I just don't understand, why one wouldn't pledge not to shoot himself/herself in the foot?

Hugo, is that you?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Watching the reputable polls, McCain has been slipping while Rudy has been gaining.

If that statement were true, one would think that some reputed "True Conservative" would be making those gains instead. But in truth, the opposite has happened.

Any more brilliant theories?

[areafiftyone]

Yeaaa Riiight! Silly!

[EternalVigilance]

Any more brilliant theories?

Conservatives know how to keep their powder dry, and socialist RINOs don't?

Just a thought.
