I'd rather beat Hillary with Rudy than lose to her with Gingrich. The post of the day.
You've said it all in one concise sentence.

You weren't here back then, my comments weren't "redundant", "archaic" ( complete misuse of this word, BTW, go look up its meaning and usage! ), and if they "bore" you, don't read my posts.
Your support of the current president, now, is irrelevant and beside the point I was making.
To: HairOfTheDog
Every Republican candidate I know of other than Ron Paul (an antiwar libertarian with a big "R") is committed to winning the war. I don't know what special or unique qualifications Rudy has in that regard anyway.

seems silly to act like (Partial Birth Abortion) it's the most important issue out there when practically nothing ever happens on it.
Actually, it is not at all silly. You want a litmus test?
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and opposition to the death penalty.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and support of euthanasia.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and support of Hillarycare type national socialized medicine.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and support of embryonic stem-cell research.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and support of sex-ed for younger and younger children.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and opposition to parental notification for abortion.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and opposition to teaching of ANY hypothesis of Creationism or Intelligent Design alongside the hypothesis of Evolution in public schools.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and opposition to home schooling/vouchers.
Check out the correlation between support of PBA and opposition to--or support of any moral issue. While there are minor skews in any statistical distribution, there are some incontrovertible conclusions to be observed.
Last and not least, check out the correlation between support of PBA and support of a "Living Constitution, International Law, etc."

"So you're selling your Ideology for a Liberal to be elected as a Republican?"
I said nothing of the kind. You appear to have trouble with reading comprehension.
Go back and read my post again.

You, however, are claiming that the Constitution mandates that particular criminal laws must exist in every state. You're missing the whole point of federalism. The main reason for having a Bill of Rights is to make sure that all Americans, no matter what state they live in, have their unalienable rights protected.

To: EternalVigilance
Justifiable homcide is not murder either. Depends what state you're in. What's defined as justifiable homicide in one state would be defined as murder in another state.
The death penalty is not murder.
In some states it is.
Sometimes homicide is murder, sometimes it isn't, and the rules vary from state to state. Don't like your state's laws, either change them or move to another state. Just don't pretend the Constitution *requires* your state to have the *specific* laws *you* just happen to prefer.
Btw, "murder" is normally understood to mean the *unlawful* killing of another, so talking about legal murder (which means legal unlawful killing) is just another oxymoron.

I almost think from your tagline that you might not be supporting Rudy. You're gonna make the Rudybots start bawling if you're so mean.
To: Jim Robinson
I don't know what special or unique qualifications Rudy has in that regard anyway.Well, for starters, Rudy is more known than any other candidate on either side except maybe Hillary. And we remember his steady leadership in a crisis fondly. That goes a long way. In contrast, practically no one outside FR even knows who Hunter is. I couldn't pick him out of a lineup and I DO hang out at a political forum all day. Maybe that will change, but that's how it is now. He doesn't seem "national candidate" ready.
Hey - I might think the best candidate would be my dad. But all the votes of all the people who know him just might not be enough to win.

Great post!!!Glad someone got something out of it, because I didn't get it.

Okay then - but I'm not a liberal Republican either
Maybe you are not but it sure seems that way when you are promoting a liberal Republican. And Anyone who believes in abortion and infringing the 2nd amendment is liberal.
He said he was going to do something and he
It's how he did it that concerns me. He pretty much ignored the Constitution, after taking an oath to uphold it.
The gun grabbing that he is did is very obvious, but even him outlawing people panhandling it pretty unconstitutional even if it cleaned up the streets, and what about how he dealt with the street vendors? Maybe they were just poor people using free enterprise to make a living.
I'm called a "ONE ISSUE" voter too, but I'm far from it.
I have no doubt that Rudy will be tough on terror, but as the Bush debaucle has shown us that might not be the winning issue.
When I say debaucle , I mean more of how the media was successful in making it out to be, not the actual truth.
To: The Spirit Of Allegiance
Okay, if a ban on PBA is so universally obviously wrong and indefensible, why did it take so long to be passed and why was that all they've managed to accomplish? I mean really!
I think as a practical matter, PBA represents such a small number of abortions in this country it's a statistical non issue. It's equivalent to peeing on a forest fire, so forgive me if I don't give them credit for progress. Politicians have shown themselves to be not interested in really stopping abortions. So I'm tired of getting bashed over the head for not seeing it as very relevant in elections. It's a non starter.

The main reason for having a Bill of Rights is to make sure that all Americans, no matter what state they live in, have their unalienable rights protected.No, that's not correct. The Bill of Rights was a restraint on the national government. It didn't restrain the states at all.

It's rather pathetic that, at a crossroads in this country's history, that we cannot come up with a better slate. I could agree with you on that.

That is probably your problem, too much religion. No, just know too many religious zealots who try to tell me that their way is God's way.

The eventual Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States of America will gain instant name recognition throughout America and around the world. And seeing as how all conservatives and all broken glass Republicans will support him to the hilt, he'll be rolling in the dough and the volunteers. The grassroots will mobilize behind him. A traditional true blue American conservative will beat the socks off Hillary or Obama, et al, without the doubts of losing the Christian right or other conservatives that cannot stomach Rudy's abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, gun grabbing, illegal immigration loving ways. Might as well go for the full blooded conservative vs the half liberal.
