I would never quote anything by them as gospel, heck the only poll I believe in is one that would poll 300 million Americans. But I sure as hell would not quote the WPO or ABC.
Add me to the ping list.
I still haven't made up my mind as to who to support. This is an important debate to have before 08.
Rudy is definitely a supply side Friedman/Reagan economic disciple. He is also strong on national defense and the WOT.
Granted, there are some issues that social conservatives will find unpalatable...I'm as pro-life as anyone. But if he pledges to appoint a strict contructionist to the Supreme Court (without mentioning the abortion issue specificaly, it's politics after all) I think we should give him a chance.
OK, let's here it now. What is his word worth? He was married 3 times yada, yada, yada. Come on, have you ever heard one of Donna Hanovers' rants? You can't blame the guy for getting out of there like a bat out of hell.
Sorry ladies. I think the women out there know what I mean. Women are much better judges of human nature than men. They have a much better intuition. That's why I don't believe this nonsense that they would vote for Hillary just because she is a "woman". They can smell a phony better than we can.
Would you happen to have a link to your post #18?
Done!
Welcome to the Rudy Ping List. :)
It's not Rudy vs. Hillary. We're still early in the primary season. Rudy is tainted goods. let him go.
When a conservative arises, who can beat Hillary, I am all for him. But until then, Rudy is our best chance to beat Hillary.
I admire your spirit and your passion. I've read every biography of Barry Goldwater (including his autobiography). There is indeed something to be said for a man who stands up for his principles, knowing damn well he is going to go down in a blaze of glory.
Goldwater advanced the conservative ideology in defeat, and he is revered till this day by people like me.
But there is a time and place for everything. This is not the time nor place for Barry II.
Maybe I'm a hypocrite. I've berated the RINO's in Congress who brought disgrace to the idea of limited government. I wish Ronald Reagan could come back and lead us. But a great communicator like Reagan who can convince even stupid liberals and closet Socialists that right wing, limited Government is in their best interest only comes along once every century.
How about Duncan Hunter Jr. in 2048? Seriously, I understand your frustration. There are some candidates that are non-starters for me. See Mike Huckabee.
Watch out .....I'm running.
And he IS going to win!
I won't make this long; just hit on a few points.
First of all, most people no longer watch both parties' primary speeches, debates, or even the nomination conventions. You just admitted that you don't. ERGO, nobody will "see" nor hear ANY similarities between Hillary and Rudy.
Neither would there be ANY "similarities" should both garner their party's nomination and they debate each other. NEITHER NOMINEE GETS TO WRITE THE QUESTIONS ASKED AT ANY DEBATE!
Rudy will NOT skip any early debates; Hillary might, though she needs to be on top EARLY! The primaries are front loaded, this time. Nobody can skip Iowa and N.H. and then just bid their time. By Next year, at this time, it really WILL be more or less all over but the cheering.
I would heartily suggest that you dig deeper into your chosen person's background. He is being investigated by the DOJ and has been, for a long time. He isn't "Mr. Clean" at all and could very well wind up in a cell next to Duke Cunningham.
I'll save you from taking the test. :-)
I just posted on this:

Do you have a link?
I and others ( though not any of Hunter's supporters here ) have read the Federal documents. It'll take a bit of GOOGLING, but you too can find this and a lot of other things about Hunter as well. You just have to do more than read his website.
I am NOT here to smear him; especially because I doubt he'll even be in the running a year from today. I just wish that his supporters would do some research on him and learn that he isn't what or who they are assuming him to be.
Maybe he just puts his country before a stupid war that has created a new terrorist-ridden state of Iraq.
