I didn't realize Rudy was to the left of Moynihan!

[WalterSkinner]

BTTT

[conservatrice]

The only situation I'd vote for Rudy would be as mayor of NYC or governor of NY State. I will never vote for him as president. I don't care who is running against him.

[My2Cents]

But still way to the right of Hillary.

[jla]

No self-respecting Christian, and especially Catholic, would vote for this 'man'.

[Alberta's Child]

Outside New York, on the Republican campaign trail, he is sure to meet many voters who understand that his positions on abortion and marriage do to our national culture exactly what the street people and pub crawlers did to New York.

This is one of the most astute observations on this subject that I've seen anywhere.

[sgtbono2002]

If given the choice between Hillary and Rudy he is still the better choice. I dont like many of his views either,but I dont like ANY of Hillary's views.

You would honestly rather see Obama or Hillary in charge of the defense of our nation?

That scares me.

[Dreagon]

Yep, social conservatives are literally better off sitting home and punishing the Republicans than letting Rudy win if he is the nominee.
If Hillary wins then the enemy party is in power. If Rudy wins then social cons have no party at all. Many conservatives have already figured this out.....

....and thats why Rudy can't win, no matter how "electable" his supporters keep maintaining he is.

[kjo]

He's not my first choice either. But, given a choice between Rudy and Hillary it would be hard to not give him my vote.

We are never going to find a nominee we agree with one hundred percent. And if Rudy is the nominee, at least he's not McCain.

"No self-respecting Christian, and especially Catholic, would vote for this 'man'."

Amen. NOT a conservative,.

[Antoninus]

No self-respecting Christian, and especially Catholic, would vote for this 'man'.

I certainly won't. The question is, can the Rudy-bots and the so-called "conservative" media stampede enough people into the Rudy camp using pure fear?

That's what remains to be seen.

[steve86]

I would say piss on Rudy but that's too good for him.

[sockmonkey]

But still way to the right of Hillary.

I don't see him as "way" to the right of Hillary, and neither do a lot of conservatives.

[Antoninus]

If Hillary wins then the enemy party is in power. If Rudy wins then social cons have no party at all. Many conservatives have already figured this out.....

That's it in a nutshell. It happened to us here in NJ. Now, the RNC is trying to take that model national.

They can do it without my vote, support, money, work, etc.

[PatriotWarriorINL]

"We are never going to find a nominee we agree with one hundred percent. And if Rudy is the nominee, at least he's not McCain."

This is the wrong attitude. No more setteling for candidates b/c their not "Hillary". We need to support a REAL leader now before its too late. No more half measures. What will this country look like after 10-20 more yrs of bad leadership??!

[Alberta's Child]

If we are left with a choice between a big-government leftist and a radical big-government leftist, then what's left to "defend" here?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Hilarious. Most photos of Rudy show him with a big smile. Reaganesque smile in fact one showing optimism and a belief in the future. Hunter, in contrast, is shown looking like some one stole his Triple H.

[conservatrice]

You would honestly rather see Obama or Hillary in charge of the defense of our nation?

It is almost 2 years to the election and you have already given up. That scares ME.

[chopperman]

I prefer Duncan Hunter, however, I'm afraid that Rudy is the Republicans only chance to win it.
