The book on Rudy Giuliani is that he is too liberal on social issues to win the Republican presidential nomination. Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council, put it succinctly: "I don't see anyone getting the Republican nomination who is not pro-life and a staunch defender of traditional marriage."
But Mr. Giuliani is running strong in Iowa and New Hampshire polls and leading most national surveys of Republicans. He's charming crowds of conservatives everywhere he goes. So it's worth wondering if Mr. Perkins is missing an undercurrent coursing through conservative politics.
Republicans have just experienced a bruising midterm election defeat. The president is suffering dismal approval ratings, and its erstwhile front-runner for the presidential nomination, Sen. John McCain, made his national reputation as a "maverick." The Giuliani rise evident now may be more than name recognition and residual support from his stalwart leadership following the Sept. 11 attacks. Mr. Giuliani's support may also arise from his having successfully moved an entrenched political culture in New York City, something national Republicans have not been able to do in Washington.

I know pro-lifers and pro-gunners all across the country. Lots and lots and lots of them. As I said, take it to the bank, they will not support Giluiani, ever.
Hogwash is BIG government republican greenbacks..
Lame.
And your juvenile tactics don't work on me.
Is THIS why you lose so many elections for the candidates you work for?
Your posts show that you aren't up to this; why do you bother?
What an ugly thought. It boggles the mind.
One thing is a given, she would finally get her way. LOL
You have no idea how many of "my" candidates win or lose. Why? Because you get your information from Clowns.
But, more to the point of this thread, American loses even if your candidate wins.
Unlike so many, I don't have to go run to GOOGLE and CCP other peoples' words, to refute or to make a point. I actually KNOW what I'm talking about. :-)
Once? REALLY? What was all the rest of the things you posted...just "warnings"? LOL
Yeah. For about five minutes, then it would turn to fratricide.
My gag reflex has reached its limit of Giuliani and nopardons for one day. Thanks for standing strong. Good night.
You just don't know when to stop. That's a hallmark of a child.
If I am a "LIB", then so was Ronald Reagan.
Your track record is known and it isn't what you purport it to be.
"Ummm....Dudes, aren't you forgetting that a little thing called CANCER was responsible for him pulling out of the race?"
From what I understand from Dr. Dean Edell, many men over 60 have prostate cancer, or a pre-cancer condition, and MOST men WILL have prostate cancer if they live long enough. For older men, they don't even bother treating it because it is slow growing and doesn't impact their lifespan.
"I don't see anyone getting the Republican nomination who is not pro-life and a staunch defender of traditional marriage."
Let's say someone who is pro-life and a staunch defender of traditional marriage gets elected.
What, exactly, do you think he's going to do?
My guess is, not much.
He'll make a lot of noise, throw the People a couple bones, and things will continue down the slope,but that's just me.
I don't believe a honest, caring,ethical politician ever makes it past the school board.
Goodness gracious, do you feel all better now, that you managed to splenetically spew such bile; weedle boy? :-)
Hasn't seemed to manage to kill you off, yet.
Oh dear...........is that the best you can do? LOL
