Seriously, all I've been seeing the past week has been thousands of anti-Rudy posts. The only thing I can figure is that some conservatives here are frightened when there is no reason to be.

What you are seeing are thousands of posts from conservatives who are discussing the views of one possible Republican Presidential nominee. We come to this conservative forum to discuss all things that are of concern or interest to conservatives.

You can construe these posts to be anti-Rudy, but I think the majority of them are just an assessment or discussion of Guiliani's views on the issues. Are you frightened that we are having discussions about Guiliani's views in forum threads?

So what is conservative about a lot of things that are posted on here? If you are afraid to read articles about Rudy, then ignore them. He is going to be a Republican candidate. Obama and Hillary have tons of stories on here, and they are certainly not conservative.

Trying to stifle debate is not Conservative and wanting everyone to march in lockstep is also not Conservative.

There are many areas that Rudy is conservative like the WOT, smaller government, less taxes, law and order, strict constructionists judges, supply sided economics, etc.

Hate to break the news to you but to be conservative you don't have to be a social conservative. We have a lot of fiscal conservatives in the Republican Party and the Contract with America said nothing about social issues which a lot of us who are Conservative believe they belong at the state level not the federal level.

Heh! Of course not! I just think some people here are totally freaking out. It has gone beyond debate to ridiculous fear-mongering and party-splitting. Some of these critics are coming off poorly and their message is getting lost in their emotional rhetoric.

From everything I've seen and read, Rudy is not supporting party-splitting. It is a vocal fringe element that is advocating a split. For me, I'm interested in all candidates and will support the party selection no matter how much I disagree philosophically with that person. I will not support a democrat by withholding my Republican vote.
