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.
Very true. In fact, there seems to be no end of positive pieces about the ex-mayor in the MSM. But that doesn't explain why so many FReepers are going hogwild in support of his candidacy, to the point of ridiculing social conservatives who take a stand against the things Giuliani stands for.
Here's what I think has happened: The GOP got whipped last election because of the war and because of political corruption. But the MSM has been insisting for years that the problem with the GOP is social conservativism. Apparently many Republicans, some of them pundits who do consider themselves conservative, bought that line, so they've decided to ignore what really happened last election and toss the social conservatives out of the tent in the hope of holding onto at least a little bit of political power.
Darn Straight. The MSM is shoving these freaks down our throats, as if Guiliani and McCain are the undisputed sole entrants in the Republican race. The MSM will turn on either one of these fake Republicans as soon as the Dem candidacy is sewn up. The mud, the rumours, the dirt will bury the Republicans, and the Dems come out victorious.
Everyone needs to realize, and tell their neighbors, that the MSM's sole purpose is to get a weak Dem in the White House. That is the media's real power. They were in charge from '93-01, not Bill Clnton. The MEDIA was in charge, with a deal with the Devil. The MEDFIA is pi$$ed they are no longer calling the shots as they did when Bill Clinton was President. Hence the nonstop lies and nonsense about George Bush. It's all B.S. They had the dirt on Clinton and could have destroyed him instantly, instead they made a deal and covered for him at every turn. And he relinquished his power in exchange for favorable fake polls and stories.
