We need Rudy for the WOT because? I don't think so.

[Musket]

Because he can win. And history proves he can take on the bad guys. And win.

[AZRepublican]

I ain't voting for him because of WOT considerations or leadership. I'll be casting vote for him to bring conservative justices to the courts.

[jla]

And history proves he can take on the bad guys.

Please expound on this. How does history prove this...exactly?

[psjones]

Seems like there are people here who would be quite content to see the clintons back in the white house.

[Musket]

He took the Mob out of South Street Seaport and a couple of other places they were entrenced.

[Musket]

Cleaned up Times Square too.

I'll be casting vote for him to bring conservative justices to the courts.

Name me one liberal who has ever named conservatives to the courts.

Name me three Republicans, conservatives or not, who Giuliani named to the courts in NYC while he was Mayor.

But while you're looking, allow me to say, respectfully, that this claim of yours is a complete and utter crock.

[kingu]

It's a fair rant, and a fair viewpoint. Now if only we didn't have the party leadership that got us into this position where we're looking at Rudy as an acceptable candidate.

The honest truth is that we're going to be looking at whack-a-loon liberal on the Rat side, and no one spectacular on our side. If people actually pony up the money, we could field someone who would be conservative, and thus have a chance. But the only ones who are picking up real money are folks that don't generally fit my mold as a conservative, or who have the electability factor of negative one.

Honestly, I've the feeling this will end up with us getting half of what we want, and fighting an uphill battle to retain the White House. If that's what I'm facing, I'd rather choose the most able liberal than backing a losing Conservative, because I don't get anything at all off of a wildly liberal president, aside from their replacing the liberals with even more wildly liberals on the Supreme Court.

Least with Rudy we can hope for some bones, rather than a completely empty plate. And yeah, that's not exactly the best situation, but it's what we've got.

Seems like there are people here who would be quite content to see the clintons back in the white house.

Seems as if there are people here who are content to nominate a complete liberal to head up the conservative party.

[EternalVigilance]

Wow. The Democrat Media, and the RINOs in the GOP, have you believing that all you, a free and sovereign citizen of these United States, are going to get are crumbs.

That really sucks.

My advice to you is to suck it up and stick it back down their throats...

[CrawDaddyCA]

Good rant. Bookmarking.

[JSteff]

Is that really the choice we have right now? Really?

[ansel12]

Those of us that are old enough, and that knew that New York City was unsavable, remember how Rudy did the impossible, he saved New York.

Before 9/11 the media was in the process of destroying Rudy and then the Towers went down and we got a second look at the man, as he, for whatever reason became a symbol of American strength.

By being the greatest mayor that NYC has ever had, and after proving that again after 9/11, Rudy showed us that he can make history, now what we conservatives have to figure out is what kind of history does he desire to make.

[BunnySlippers]

Link please. Or are we talking vanity?

[Musket]

but it's what we've got.

Exactly. Nobody's perfect. Rudy's a tough guy. He cleaned up NYC. The Liberals hate him. He can win. He's got my vote.:-)

(not to mention the fact that he attended hundreds of 9-11 funerals - and Hillary attended NONE.)

[Jim Robinson]

"Seems like there are people here who would be quite content to see the clintons back in the white house."

No, a LOT of people here would much rather see a conservative in the White House while some people here seem to prefer a liberal. The latter makes no sense to me whatsoever.

[upsdriver]

"now what we conservatives have to figure out is what kind of history does he desire to make."

How about the destruction of the Republican party? That would be pretty historic!

[JSteff]

"but it's what we've got."

Why, is the election next week? Why is it the only chance we have?

Can't we give it 6 months or a year or so? Just to see what shakes out.

[psjones]

There is bill, then there is hillary, and I think hillary is more of a leftist than her husband was. Question is, which clinton was Giuliani referring to and which policies in particular was he talking about.
Frankly, I can't tolerate hillary, and now with the way she's been backtracking on the war, and talking about getting out of iraq if she becomes president, I'd rather not see her get in the white house, even if it means we end up with half a conservative.
