Rudy Giuliani has picked up the edorsement of Rep. Charlie Dent (PA). According to Giuliani's team, Dent plans "to enlist other" PA GOPers to follow suit.
Dent, explaining his support: "Giuliani successfully led New York City and became known as 'Americas Mayor' because of his dynamic approach to tackling the challenges facing Americas largest city... It takes a determined fiscal leader to make the kind of transformation he achieved as Mayor of New York and his record speaks for itself." (Hotline reporting)
"Seal the borders first!, Screen out the criminals, the drug dealers, and potential terrorists; and require anyone who stays to learn our language and assimilate."
Hey - great graphic!
Who called it that?
Did you read the link I gave you from Deroy Murdock? Hillary can't take credit for most of that.
It's your bumper sticker idea - feel free to link!
It's all going to come down to perception and how the media plays it, Hillary will get to take credit for just about anything she wants.
.."the 'greatest' achievement of the 20th century."?!?!?
BTW, your 'fiscal conservative' has REFUSED to sign a 'No Tax Pledge'.
In case you missed it, here's the thread on it:

I believe the dynamics (due to primaries) has changed that, it appears everyone is scrambling for the organization, endorsements, donations, etc. Others here have explained it a lot better then I but it seems like if you don't get in now, there will be nothing to get into.
Reagan campaigned for Goldwater.
Are you talking about 'numbers' in a group or age of the person? Just wondering. :)
So did Hillary Clinton.
Thank you for posting that!!! And in the proper format. I'm impressed.
I heard Sean Hannity praising him last night......
If you consider protectionism and being a lifetime politician 'Conservative', then yes.
ROFL. Funny stuff!
WOW....great resources. I won't steal that one from you....;)
At your service. :)
Really? Is that why the Rudy haters hate Sean Hannity. LOL! Good for SEAN!
WOW! Thanks so much for posting it! I must go to the HTML Bootcamp again!
