Of course it's a selling job. That is what politics is all about.
Isn't a coincidence, that only Lefties are the so called LEADING candidates on the GOP now?...
Depends on your perspective. One persons conservative is another's moderate or even liberal.If the polling indicates Rudy G is a leading candidate I would think that is because people like him. It isn't a question of not knowing his record as much as their not caring about things not as important as national security. BTW, you claimed he is NOT a hawk on national security. where is your proof?
Isn't a coincidence that no one PAYS ATTENTION to the conservative candidates? Don't you find that a little be suspicious? :)
I find it an indication of many people wanting to win and willing to compromise rather then remain a purist and lose. Voting for Hillary, which a non vote for Giulliani, would be short sighted in the extreme. You may think that even if Billary wins we can work to get a REAL Conservative in the WH in 2012. But suppose, just suppose that in the ensuing 8 years of another Clinton presidency, we have NOTHING left to build on? You don't think the terrorists are drooling over the thought of a liberal Congress and WH? In their demented minds they KNOW the US will not fight them if that happens and the attacks will begin against us. I believe we have not been attacked thus far because no matter his faults, the president is unyielding on his position of who the enemy is and what we must do. IMO the savages are scared to death of him because he alone has not yielded to the pressure that would have broken almost any other leader. This pressure from the wingnuts the world over has broken the back of the Democratic Party, outing them as the anti American gang they have so long been. If you and those like you decide to sit out the election if RG is nominated, do me a favor. Please don't come on this forum and whine about us losing the WH, along with our country, because the Party did not give you the candidate YOU wanted. The idea is to try to get YOUR candidate nominated by campaigning for him/her and failing that to then SUPPORT the nomination of the Party!!
You and those like you who have to have it your way or no way at all are in a position to determine the survivability of this nation. I would consider carefully the ramifications of not voting before I did so, if I were you.
Here's a question: Would a President Rudy become an even juicier target than a son of Bush41?
I agree in full, BUT would you rather have Rudy, who is strong on your 1&2 and maybe suspect on 3&4, or fatso who we KNOW will sell out this nation for a handful of silver? As president Giulliani can't change or pass laws, only Congress can do that. I don't believe the 2nd Amendment is in any danger from him and much of what he believed before may have been and most likely was mitigated by the events of 9/11. He is to visit the NRA soon and we shall see what happens then.
People do change and in any case if it comes down to a choice between RG and HC, a conservative would indeed be insane to vote for the beast. A non vote would be a vote for Clinton, make no mistake about that.
"BTW, I think Hunter and Gingrich are two guys that embrace my priorities recipe. In terms of what capacity each can be contribute, I'm still noodling on that. Regardless, I think those two guys need to be at the very top of the top of the hierarchy.
That's fine and if the Republicans make either one of them the nominee I will vote for him. But if they DON'T and nominate Rudy G, will you hand the WH to the liberals because you didn't get your way or will you stand by the Party and vote with them?
Prostate cancer is one of the MOST "curable" types of cancer there is, if caught early enough, with no cancer of a re-occurrence, if no cancer cells have broken through the wall of the prostate.
There are two basic types of treatment. One is the full removal of the prostate, which negates any possible return of prostate cancer, because the prostate is no longer there. The second and newer treatment, seed implantation, is what Rudy chose to do. I don't have the stats on that procedure, but do know that Rudy is cancer free now and says that he is going to release all of his medical records.
"sell the country down the river in a New York minute?"
You mean like Bush has done with his trade agreements and open border policy?
"............look in the Business World (sic) for a possible nominee in 2008. A Christian, Capitalist, Tried and True, Loyal American would fit the bill!"? Besides all of the grammatical and spelling errors, why would such a person make a good president? Someone who has never held an elected office would be at a complete loss as to how to even run a successful political campaign; not to mention the fact that he would have no political backing.
People who have never run for nor held an elected office, who want to start at the top, running for president, never make it. The generals who have done that, were always backed by one of the two major parties.
Open border policy? Do you mean to say he is for illegal immigrants or are you complaining that his policies have hurt the economy? What is your plan? Close the borders? Tariffs, a bit of Smoot-Hawley perhaps?
Did any other politicians stand against the Piss Christ or the dung Virgin Mary?
Forget the debate. You aren't worth the time.
No problem. I suppose if you can't debate on the facts you may as well run and hide.
LOL - Based on all that crap I just mentioned, up until election day, I will continue to boil down the best choice based upon what I know that dovetails to my personal beliefs on what is best for America.
As for allowing The Beast to get her wrethced claws on the WH, I'd rather stick neddles in my eyes than see that happen. She will destroy this country. Actually, she and too many others like Kennedy, Murtha, Levin, Feingold, Pelosi, Boxer, Kerry, Feinstein... have already taken us down that road.
Those bastards are committed to seeing our soldiers murdered in defending America. They make me sick. I'd like them all to take a one way trip in Pelosi's 767 over the Bermuda Triangle.

Time out for a cigarette...
To my knowledge, no other politician besides Rudy stood up to the "artists" who wanted to subject us to their trash.
That is the sort of thing "Liberals" are known for.
Ok. Given that, Guiliani does not satisfy one of my four hot-botton priorities. (I realize others have differing priorities, but Illegal immigration is one of mine because it ties into terrorism in America - "prices may vary in your area.").
That's for sure.
One thing even the ragers would have to admit about Rudy, while we all complained about the spinelessness of our Republican Congress during the last few years, Rudy has GUTS.
He's taken on the race pimps, Arafat, Castro, the envirowackjobs, and the "artists". He doesn't walk away from a fight and I like that. I'm sick of these weenie men in DC.
BTW, regards a "strong military", how about that odd way out from the draft Rudy used? Cool, right?
You and your group do what you have to do, and we do ours cause there is nothing else we can do.
"The word is "remission"..."
I know that and have no idea why I typed "submission". Anyway, glad to hear that he has it whipped and the seed procedure worked!
Advice some around here should take.
