In spite of both Mitt Romney's and Rudy Giuliani's long records of extreme-left governance, they are nonetheless traveling the country seeking to snatch the mantle of Reagan. And, I'm beginning to think that the political hacks who are working for them think they're Jedi, and that we conservatives are weak-minded clones.
Even though, while they were in office, both men appointed more Democrats than Republicans to the bench, they would have you believe that their court picks as President would be to the right of Robert Bork. But truth be told, Rudy Giuliani has spoken very highly of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the most liberal member of the current Supreme Court, and Mitt Romney appointed radical gay activists to his state's courts during his time as the Governor of Massachusetts.
Romney is clearly a judicial supremacist and would do nothing to rein in the out-of-control liberal judicial activists that our country is suffering under. He proved it when, in spite of the complete absence of any law or constitutional provision authorizing it, he used his executive power to implement the awful Goodridge decision and institute gay marriage in Massachusetts.
In spite of Romney's own admission that he supported abortion since before Roe v. Wade, Giuliani's cozy relationship with the ghouls at NARAL, and his consistent support for even the most heinous of abortion "procedures," Romney and Giuliani would have you believe that the President of the United States doesn't have much effect on the continuing daily slaughter of thousands of unborn Americans anyway. "Move along...move along." So what if Mitt Romney ran to the left of Teddy Kennedy in their Senate contest a few years ago?
And in spite of Giuliani's flouting of the immigration laws as mayor of New York, and his open defiance of the courts and of Congress, leading to the invasion of that city by hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, and Romney's squishiness on this critical national defense issue, both would have you believe that they are suddenly hawks.
In spite of Romney and Giuliani's past support for the so-called "assault weapons ban" and the Brady Bill, and Rudy joining the radical left in suing gun manufacturers, they both now want to play Charlton Heston on guns. Next thing you know they'll be out in the Midwest, wearing barn jackets and shooting ducks, like that other Massachusetts liberal, John Kerry. It'll be about as believable, too.
Romney brought socialized medicine, complete with taxpayer-funded abortions, to the Commonwealth, and Rudy likes to dress in women's clothes and fool around publicly on his wives. But hey, "we don't need to see their identification," now do we, Mr. and Mrs. Conservative American?
Even though Mitt is now telling everyone how bad the McCain-Feingold law was for America, he was touting even more radical assaults on the First Amendment before John McCain ever got on track towards trying to abolish free political speech for all but incumbent politicians and the liberal media. But these are definitely "not the droids we're looking for," are they?
The President of the United States is the most powerful man on the planet. He, in his person, makes up one-third of our federal government. So you would be advised to be very careful about who you throw your electoral support behind. You better make sure that they're really one of the good guys.
Don't go over to the Dark Side. Find a real proven conservative and support him.
As Obi-Wan said, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away: "Who's the more foolish: The fool, or the fool who follows him?"

spot on article!
Good read, EV.
Great article. Thanks.
TY:)
Excellent post.
I for one am extremely angry at Giuliani and McCain for their deception. The should run as Democrats, and I wouldn't loathe them so much.
Good use of Star Wars quotes. Let me try...
NR to conservatives: "Do or do not. There is no try."
Why am I not surprised that YOU posted this?
Sounds like marching orders to me.
But let's try something nonfictional, to describe where we're at:
“Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.” - George Washington
To your credit, you didn't ping me. ; )
Neat. But I think my use is more apt. ;-)
Agreed.
May you remain vigilant...eternally. Of course, I'm sure we'll soon see a flurry of posts on how we MUST vote for Rudy or Romney. Why? Because they're the so-called "electable" ones.
Wow! This would be good. If it were written in a high-school newspaper.
OK, maybe middle school.
It IS her turn.. Too Cynical?...
Well the idiot Bush running against a known moron in 2000..
And against a known traitor in 2004 was a little TOO CONVIENT for me..
Sounds/feels rigged to me..
