Rudy Building Lead Over McCain... [Rich Lowry]
...according to the new Fox News Poll. Asked who would they support in a Republican primary if the choices were McCain or Giuliani, 56% of Republicans said Giuliani, and 31% said McCain. 50% of Independents said Giuliani, and 27% said McCain. This represents a big bump for Giuliani since early December. Then, 42% of Republicans said they would pick Giuliani, 40% McCain, and 35% of Independents said they would support Giuliani while 41% said they would go with McCain.

Take care & goodnight.
I believe that if we select the right man as our nominee, we will have full Republican and conservative support, the dollars and enthusiastic grassroots support will flow in like never before, we win Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Florida, the south, all red states and most purple states other than the solid blue northeast and Pacific northwest liberal enclaves, and we will all come out winners. Hillary loses. Terrorism loses. We sweep the contested vulnerable congressional seats. America wins while abortion and the culture of death loses.
Maybe when I wake up it will all be so.
Take care & goodnight.
If you are not one of the above then I would presume you are not an abortionist.
Giuliani on the other hand defends abortionism (and a couple two or three other isms) as constitutional rights. He's been known to consort in public with some of the above cultists and probable peace marchers. How any conservative could possibly trust a guy like this as a potential presidential nominee is way beyond my understanding.
Half right is being generous. Rudy's batting around .200 on the issues that matter.

At first I thought that all of the FReeper Rudyites were cheering for him because they believed that he is the only one who can win. But the more I see of some of these FReepers, the more I understand that they are pushing Rudy BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE EXACTLY AS HE DOES. Fortunately, there aren't many of them here, but there are a handful that spend so much time pimping for Rudy that some would start thinking that everyone here has thrown conservative principles to the wind just to vote for a leftist who happens to have an "R" after his name.
They account for around 15% of everyone on this forum, members and non-members (according to the FR poll).
They move in a big clique, and they're very vocal, but 85% of this place is against them. Almost a mirror image of the Schiavo war. Not coincidentally, it's all the same players, too. And for the same reason.
Bump!
Ever since Bush won the nomination in 2000 over McPain in Arse, McPain has been a real jerk.I could never support him for the nomination.
And if he ever DID get the prize, I would DEFINITELY hafta hold my nose to vote for him.
But I am 110% certain that I will NEVER have to do that !!
All those words, and not a single reason to vote for the man except the crippling fear of losing to Our Lady of Chappaqua.
In actuality, Romney doesn't alienate the base nearly as much as Rudy, can raise loads of cash, and stands a better chance of actually winning a general election than Rudy.
As far as winning New Jersey, we don't need it. And we certainly don't need a President beholden to the terminally clueless voters of John Corzine's Garden State.
And because they are a minority, these FReeper liberals think that they should have the final say on everything. It's pretty much the same as it would be if a bunch of illegal aliens signed up for FR and then complained that the site isn't bilingual.
Jim, Rudy doesn't even get it half right. He may have been fiscally conservative by NYCity standards and helped get businesses coming back to the Big Apple, that doesn't make Rudy a fiscal conservative.
Which puts him to the left of a lot of Democrats!
I was wondering if anybody else had noticed that. Actually, I have noticed a set of names that crop up whenever there's a libertarian argument to be made on a social issue: pornography, cohabitation, euthanasia, and so on. A good many of these people have apparently decided that Rudy is their "values" candidate. Trouble is, their values are all wrong.
That's exactly what it is. They sign up on a pro-life, conservative website and begin trashing pro-life conservatives. And then they start pinging each other and spamming threads to make themselves look like a bigger force than they actually are. Kind of like a gang, Sunni Baathists in Iraq (pre-2003), or any other ruling minority.
This is the third major war we've had in as many years (Arnold was the first, Schiavo was the second). All involved similar issues, the same posters (mostly), using the same tactics to achieve the same end.
At this point, it's impossible to ignore what their desired end is: the liberalization of the GOP. Something a vast, 85% majority believes would be the death of the GOP.
One way or the other, something has to give.
Polling, like the Tides, never stops. I think, like, 75% of the american people are employed by polling companies.
You mean they have gone into the cold.
So from that data the Unknown Politician would win an overwhelming mandate. He could campaign with a bag over his head and run on a Pig in a Poke for his platform.
Not at all. However, those who want to implement a more conservative policy clearly DO since they can't get anyone to follow them.
