Yes...Alhough I found the "we're gonna get you if you run, Rudy" tone taken by this columnist somewhat amusing.
I'm not a Rudy supporter...I don't like any of the current candidates (Run Newt, Run) but the degree of hostility shown by so many conservatives on this board is interesting. Admdst all the blather about finding the new Reagan, they're overlooking some of the basic tenets of Reaganism. Speak no ill of a fellow Republican and let the market sort things out.
If Rudy wins...he wins.
He didn't mean lay down and let the party run all over you. BTW those who use that quote forget it was one GHW Bush who flamed Reagan up one side and down the other. Then after replacing Reagan tore down all he did. I think that quote is being used for a purpose it was never intended for. Reagan would have likely been talking pretty ill against the GOP of the past 11 years had he been dealing with them. He sure would not have wasted a majority in both houses.
I would have loved to have seen Reagan handling ones like Specter. LOL Speak no ill? Yea sure. The party needs some hostility. IT IS DEAD! Maybe some hostile voters who are real sick and tired of things can wake it up again to something besides the Democratic Party's doormat it has become.
