"I do not agree with Rudy on abortion, gays, and guns but doubt he would introduce any of them. Were he to I think the Congress would keep him in check".

The Congress would keep him in check?????

BWAHHAHHHHA!

I fear such ambition untempered by any ideology or religion so close to power.

Agreed. But this is more about avoiding a Socialist Democratic takeover that has been DECADES in the making.

Newt may be popular with some Republicans, but my wife turns off the television any time he appears

sadly, this is a fact across the fruited plains.

In case you didn't notice or aren't a student of history, that was completed by the early 60 with the Great Society, and included the Progressive Income Tax in 1913, and the
New Deal of the 30s.


Any Republicans interludes we had were stalling actions in a rapidly advancing movement to take this nation to the cleaners in perpetuity, imo.

I would say you are wrong then, and based on the education you apparently are receiving and have received, it can only confirm my worst fears of the perils this nation will continue to face in the future where folks will rather than confront them head on, they will sidestep them.

You're right that a partial Socialist economy was long ago established. It has not been enough to destroy small business which is the job engine of the economy. To complete a "takeover of the economy" would require control of a GREATER percentage of the economy than already controlled by government.

Hillary Healthcare was an attempt to get another 1/3 of the economy under government control.

In Education the inefficient system currently requires greater funding annually just to operate. So far the mixed capitalist economy has enabled us to come up with that funding. But, with every percentage of the economy controlled by government some percentage of the non-government controlled efficient economy goes away.

Just pointing out a few of Rudy's short comings, if he is the nominee, there will be a third party candidate, count on it. If I did not understand your point, which I took to be support of Rudy's nomination, then I apologize

At this time, I do not support Rudy to be the nominee. But if he is the nominee, I will vote for him.

I am far more worried over a Clinton II Presidency then I am of a Rudy Presidency.
