I know the Nut Squad on FR will say that "White House conservatives" is an oxymoron, but it's apparent that despite what they say, Rudy is picking up conservative support, or at least is being given serious consideration by conservatives.
I have not spent my past 15 years actively involved in politics so that a blue state Rockefeller Republican with questionable ethics would represent my party.
The Noo Yawk media (including Fox, the Post, and National Review) are pushing for Rudy because he furthers their cosmopolitant, Republican-lite outlook.
Rudy minuscule tax cuts can't hide the fact that NYC remains a socialist hellhole after eight years of his rule. The fact that he merely provides superficial soundbites from Bibi Netanyahu does not mean he has "foreign policy expertise."
Rudy is, as he used to say back in the 90s, a Clintonian. Of course, don't tell this to the Rutards, who have a Hillary fetish, and are in fear of her.
are these the same Bush aides who were convinced we would hold the house and senate?
I learned a long time ago to take promises from politicians with a grain of salt. The best barometer for what they will do once elected is what they have done in the past.
I have no doubt that Rudy would be tough on terrorism. I do have doubts about the 'conservative judges' claim. (Of course, conservative is in the eye of the beholder. Likely, what would be conservative in Rudy's eyes would not be conservative in mine.)
I would be more interested in knowing what they see in Bush that they like ;-)
This Guido is about as conservative as Staten Island is classy. Not very... ;-)
