Theodore Olson, the stalwart conservative lawyer and former solicitor general for the Bush administration, told the Spectator he will be supporting Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid.
"I admire his character, his capacity for leadership, his instincts, and his principles," Olson said over the phone this afternoon. He said he will help Giuliani raise money as well as offer advice on legal issues and domestic policy matters that involve constitutional questions.

You guessed wrong.
Pat Robertson sure did but he is no longer considered a conservative by some on here!
Silly question. The criteria I ask of MY candidate is that they have run a state or a major city.
No, Rudy's poll numbers are not getting to me. If things continue as they are now, the Democrats are going to take back the White House regardless of which candidate the GOP selects. I'm pretty much resigned to that. What really dismays me is the revelation that many--maybe even most--of the people who post here are really OK with abortion and "gay rights" and trashing marriage and all the other sins for which we have denounced the cultural left. It's more than sad to me because I took the self-declared conservatism of this forum literally.
As for you, hey, I hope your guy wins. Maybe he will lower your taxes or something.
Hitlery can't be President, that's for sure.. or the WOT is over and we lose.. We need a strong and determined President to fight the WOT and by strength I also mean in top physical health to sustain the incredible stress..
..and so I wonder if Rudy is really up to it in that way.. afterall, his health was an issue during the NY Senatorial race where he would have beat Hitlery at that time, which would have made the witch an non-issue right now.. Not his fault getting cancer but I do think Health should be a consideration in choosing our next President..
ROTFLOL! You do have a way with words. LOL!
Is there a compiled list of people/groups that have endorsed Giuliani? If so do you have a link?
I will call him neither, but I remain very worried that conservatives are willing to throw core beliefs out the window just to win an election. I got involved in politics for the sake of good ideas and policy. I want to win elections, but not at the cost of those principles. Far too many Republicans are willing to do just that, or they never had strong principles to begin with.
Is this the "holier-than-thou" bile, excrement and nonsense spew you were speaking of?
To accept Rudolf Giuliani as the leader of the Republican party, among many other socialist mores we've fought against for so many years, we are told that we must accept abortion into our hearts. It is an accepted practice in modern America and only a minority of Americans say otherwise. Why resist?Well, I'm sorry. I do not accept abortion into my heart. And I doubt the majority of Americans will either.
The mass murder of helpless innocent babies in the womb is evil. Period. Poking sharp instruments into the skulls of partially born babies and sucking their brains out is grotesque barbarism so horrific to be beyond the ability of most people to fully comprehend. It's unthinkable evil.
Knowing that the Democrat Party lovingly embraces this evil as part of their platform literally makes me sick to my stomach. Every time I see the face of Hillary, Kennedy, Schumer, Reid, et al, I see the face of pure evil. It's as if I'm looking into the face of Nazism
Rudolf Giuliani does not deliver us from this evil, he delivers us to it.
If the Republican party embraces this evil culture of death platform as the Democrat party does, then I will have to agree... it's time to move on.
The party of Reagan will be dead. The party of Lincoln will be dead. The party of Jeffersonian life and liberty will be dead. The only party defending human life and liberty in America will be dead.
The Republican party becomes the Democrat party and the Democrat party becomes the communist party, the right to life and liberty in America be damned.
Time and evil marches on.
Please pray for America.

("Electable" gave us Gerald Ford and Bob Dole. Voting for the right-wing kook gave us Reagan. ~ A.C.)
I guess being the most Reaganish hawk on defnese for 26 years in the congress don't count. Or being chairman of the Armed Services committee the last 4 years, or working overtime to preserve SDI year in and year out. Or authoring the border fence bill signed into law late last year, or being rep for an area heavily populated with our servicemen and women, or being a combat vet in Vietnam, or for consistently smacking down the traitor party in the house in word and deed.
Now if he would just have supported gun control, pro-choicers and global warming alarmists all these years he may have a chance.
By that token, Bloomberg should be qualified too. Plus he was a successful biznessman--a billionaire. LOL
Did Reagan get Roe v. Wade overturned?
"So those of us who oppose the gay/left agenda, including public funding of baby-murder, are now promoting a "personal agenda"????"
That is by no means what I meant to say. It had more to do with the personal attacks against Rudy that are seen here daily.
I am pro life, and anti gay marriage but I realize that sometimes you don't get all of what you want and have to compromise.
PRO LIFE. Although Rudy has been pro choice, he is also personally opposed to it and would appoint strict constructionist judges to the SC. That is where the abortion issue will be settled once and for all and I trust Rudy to keep his word. Ronald Reagan was pro life but made horrible choices for the SC.
Rudy is against gay marriage and that's good enough for me.
But as far as I'm concerned, the NUMBER ONE ISSUE facing this country is the War on Islamic Fascism and I think RUDY will not rest, will not waiver and will never appease.
If you consider that "sick and evil" then we disagree.
Better than Duncan Hunter...he made his billions...I can't see anything that Hunter has accomplished outside of a life-long Congressional seat.
Well said. I won't be taken again. Bush, a man who has mild convictions in the pro-life area, would probably have named a pro-choice judge to the bench by now if the pressure against it hadn't been relentless.
Why, then, should conservatives expect Giuliani, a man who shares none of our convictions, to go against them with every judicial appointment?
He was part of the Reagan revolution, elected in 1980. This country would be in dire straights without the few rock ribbed conservatives left in this congress. You owe men like him a huge debt of gratitude.
Hillary will walk away from Iraq, our troops, and the WOT ... Rudy won't.
No worries about his health at this point.
I agree...when he runs a state, or a major American city...I will have him a look-see!! :)
