Rudy Guliani Opts Out of Religious Broadcasters MeetingIs Rudy Going to Ignore Evangelicals?
Associated Content ^ | February 16, 2007 | Jeff Musall

Posted on 02/18/2007 8:00:38 AM PST by WalterSkinner

With the bare fact being that no Republican in recent memory has been able to win a major contest without at least the tacit backing of the religious right, Rudy Guliani might be trying to buck that trend.

You are right,he did not say Rudy was the only hope, I was being sarcastic. Sorry.

This is what he did say.

I look at the issues that are most crucial to our survival as a nation, I see Rudy emerging as the leader.

It just really bothers me to see a person who claims Christ promoting a man who promotes such evil, as if there are no others that could possibly do the job.

I've never said there weren't others. And I've been pretty clear that Rudy was not my first choice. If you saw anything I posted in 2006, you'd probably know that. But, my first choice imploded.

I have said that, of the current list, I believe Rudy is the best choice and also that he is the one with the best chance to win.

That's a judgement call I made after careful consideration of the others.

With a couple of exceptions I don't have anything against the other candidates. I'm just not inspired by them.

FWIW, trashing the candidate that I DO happen to be supporting will NEVER convince me to support someone else.

It's just that simple.

That said, I have also consistently said that I will support the GOP nominee.

Ignore these personal comments to you. They are understandably frustrated. But they do not know how to deal with the changing country, and it has changed. Thank you for so eloquently stating what so many feel.

Rudy is pro-choice. Pro-gun-control. Pro-amnesty and sanctuary city. Pro-gay-rights. Pro-CFR. And pro-global warming.

How is stating those facts - that Rudy has a lot of non-conservative positions - trashing?

Not good. If Rudy wants the nomination, and the presidency, he needs to face the music with these people. Soon.

Ignore these personal comments to you

Gee, Hildy, I'm still waiting for you to apologize for posting a keyword about Rudy that I did not post. I'd hope that if you are so concerned about personal comments that you'd start with your own posts first.

Yes HE did. (HE thought you said you knew him from the religion wars).

But what HE took offense at (here's your context dirtboy) is the comment "You trust Rudy, I will trust God."

THAT was the comment HE considered out of line.

But you two carry on your fine conversation. If you can't tell a man from a woman, HE seriously questions your ability to judge on other matters.

If it fulfills some deep repressed emotional need, you may have the last word.

Actually I think I was on your side there, but the whole thing about fighting between calvinists and armenians turned me off.

Good, it was a mistake for me to have become involved in that.

There are people on FR that I really respect and like who won't communicate with me because I posted offensive stuff about my own family Mormon History years ago.

I am sorry I did it. And I don't dislike you either, this is just politics.

the keyword was transvestite. If you didn't post it, I apologize. It was a another crazy anti-Guiliani person.

Thanks. We're all wearing our emotions on our sleeves, and we're still a good 18 months out.

We're all better off if this doesn't get personal. But sometimes it's too easy to hide behind a keyboard and say things we wouldn't say face to face.

FWIW, I have multiple regrets from the religion wars.

We can get through all of this and be civil about it.

Peace.

You defend abortion

I'm calling you on that one, "Tommy." Where have any of us supported abortion? We're opting for the one means by which Roe v. Wade will be modified or out-right repealed -- continuing to put originalists on the Supreme Court. I can't believe that after the last 30+ years we still need to draw a picture for you people.

For all your chest-pounding, you have no strategy for seriously restricting abortions in this country.

You trust Rudy, I will trust God.

I think God has pretty much run out of patience with people who put their trust in government and politics to put things to right.

Mighty pious words for someone who chose the name "Sir Francis Dashwood."

Piety has nothing to do with it, I am an atheist.

[And my screen name here is also not an issue (he was a friend of Ben Franklin, member of Parliament, a Baron, exchequer, postmaster general and colonel of the Buck's militia).]
