Barr did make the government smaller, he left it.
Ping.
Polls are like AH.....everyone has one. True Conservatives won't vote for a RINO.
Rudy, and you, will either learn that RKBA is a serious issue, or pay for your ignorance. Looks like your time to choose, I already had my turn.
I can work for a candidate, or I can ignore them, but when it comes down to anyone who threatens my "inalienable rights", I will work my ass off to defeat them.
Time for you, and Rudy, to compromise, I've compromised as far as I'm going to go.
They know McCain. They don't really know Giuliani.
Forty-two percent of the Republican respondents were aware that Mr. Giuliani was pro-choice.
Quod erat demonstratum. When conservatives learn where Rudy really stands and how that contrasts with what he's saying now, they'll fail to show at the polls in droves, which explains why the MSM is trying so hard to jam him down our throats.
This idea of strict constructionist is open to broad interpretation. What America needs are "originalists" on the SCOTUS.
If you look at Rudy`s track liberal record as Mayor of NYCity, instead of accepting his recent rhetoric at face value, everyone will better understand his politics. Mayor Rudy appointed mostly liberal judges to the NYCity courts. Few Republicans and NO cosnervatives. Even other positions in the city government were awarded to liberals.
Using Rudy`s record as a guide, its a good bet as Prez he would nominate jurists in the mold of Lawrence Tribe, George Mitchell and Alan Dershowitz, then he would nominate originalists like Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist.
Well, we saw in South Dakota - a red state - that when abortion was on the ballot and the people given a flat up or down vote, they voted for abortion.
So, we have this situation, in which the country isn't going to do the right thing. Overturn Roe and throw it back to the states? Most of them will vote, in the end, to keep abortion legal. A handful won't. Maybe. But then again, maybe not (the South Dakota vote wasn't that close).
Pro-lifers probably won't budge. Are they the majority of Republicans in the majority of states, or not?
I'm going to assume that Giuliani will play the best among all of the GOP candidates nationwide, because McCain's time has passed and Romney's a Mormon and that creeps people out (whether they admit it openly or not). Giuliani is America's Mayor, etc. Will the Republican voters in primaries in California and New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois and Ohio and Michigan and all of New England - all those blue state Republicans - vote for him? Probably.
He could win the nomination WITHOUT the support of conservatives, in a field where NONE of the GOP leaders are conservative.
And then it's into the general election, where everyone can vote. America's Mayor versus Hillary Clinton? Giuliani wins. Unless a third party candidate runs to his right.
Interesting times.
That may partially account for why over half of the Republicans and Independents (maybe the Democrats, too; I don't recall) indicated that they would like to see someone else in the race that they didn't currently know about.
BTTT
Is Bob Barr still working for the ACLU?
He's got THAT right!!!
Vote for a liberal - you'll get liberalism.
It ain't gonna happen.

Pass the mustard?
I'll never vote for a gun grabbing NY'er.
NEVER!
Okay, seriously, when do the Republican candidates enter the race? Cuz I'm not liking any of the options.
"..A Fox News poll of 900 registered voters released last week showed Mr. Giuliani crushing Mr. McCain, 56 percent to 31 percent, among Republicans."
I heard that McCain's campaign contributions also went down, which is why we need to contribute to the conservative candidate of our choice so they can get their message out.
How many respondents know that Giuliani has been married three times?
