Schwarzkopf, he's Ok by me
Tommy Franks, I like him too.
"If you are someone who normally votes Democrat, then yes. Otherwise, no. The symmetry in your question doesn't hold."
I normally vote pro-life.
You already did, my friend, you already did,, ;-)
LOL. Fair enough.
Put it this way: the kind of voter interested in Guiliani or Romney (whom I have said I am particularly interested in) is not likely to be enthusiastic about Duncan Hunter.
"You're going to make 'em pop a blood vessel and have a hissy fit.
You are not supposed to ask those kinds of questions."
Mr President, Sir!!
They do get angry, don't they!! Why do I have to vote for Rudy just to make them all happy? They have all those new voters who have been waiting for the party to become neolibs. They should be extatic!!
Rudy isn't electable, but that doesn't matter?
Mitt needs to let it all hang out and quick, the Rudy express has already left the station ..
Those out front now may not be so in a few months, we'll see in a year's time who is left standing.
In the end, the voters wil decide, not a bunch of freepers running around like chicken with their heads cut off like you see here of late. ;-)
Really? He's got the best numbers of any of the Republican nominees right now.
I'll say this for Romney - his mobilization of the yoots is better than Guilini's. Romney is on Facebook and Myspace. Guiliani is not. That's going to help.
n the end, the voters wil decide, not a bunch of freepers running around like chicken with their heads cut off like you see here of late. ;-)
Absolutely. We lose sight that FR is far to the right of the electorate. It has to do with the group dynamics. I'm probably one of the more moderate guys on this board, but when I step onto campus, I am one of the more conservative.
I think the US is much more conservative than you might think.
So would you say FR is a bastion of Extreme right wingers for the most part based on your assessment?
It might explain the "civil war" going on here the last couple weeks as "centrists" and moderates work their wiles for folks with more liberal leanings than most would care to back.
Doesn't matter! I don't think he can get the nomination, but if he did, so many of us would sit it out or vote for some conservative 3rd party. Rudy would get trounced!!
I am not willing to let the Republican party, the party of life, be taken over by liberals.
No. I would say, however, that the dynamic of this group (it is a decidedly right-wing blog!) means that the the hard right has a disproportionate influence.
It's clearly to the right of the country.
There's not that many of you.
so you don't buy that a good chunk of the nation is still conservative but many who are turned off by the behavior and seeming abandonment of its own party in a drift to the middle?
Uhh, also, FR is not a blog! lol
You would be amazed how many would not be able to vote for anyone who supports murdering babies. I know people don't like it phrased that way, but for someone who is truly pro-life, that is what it means. The beating Rudy would take would not be pretty. Why do you think there are those who are trying to steer the party back to the right? We don't want HIllary, either, but once the GOP is lost to the pro life cause, the GOP is lost, period.
No, I do not. I am more inclined to believe that a good chunk of the nation is either moderate or politically disinclined. Neither of those groups are likely to be attracted by a hard-right candidate.
Stop being so blinded by one issue!
If YOU allow Hillary to win the White House - that will be YOUR fault - not the fault of the party that didn't nominate YOUR "perfect candidate".
Just like a spoiled child - "if I don't get MY way - then EVERYBODY will suffer - and it's EVERYBODY else's fault because I didn't get MY way!"
Sheeesh!
