Okay. You've showed me your strawman, now I'll show you mine:

Listen I told you that I"m anti-abortion already. That's enough. If you want to go into gory details I'm sure the Rudy haters have all the stuff and pictures you can drool and pant over. They seem to like looking at the pictures and reading the details.
Kiss where the sun don't shine.
Dear areafiftyone,
"Rudy will appoint anti-abortion judges like he said and it will go to the states like it should."
Please cite a single instance where Mr. Giuliani has said he'd appoint "anti-abortion judges."

I'm a Presbyterian, but somehow I manage to vote for candidates all the time that are not. I suppose your side thinks I should stay home until a good Presbyterian runs for office?
Yeah, Rooty is pretty absurd when you really think about it.
"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani
A good friend of mine was the architect of Giuliani's welfare reform program in NYC. Same guy also designed Wisconsin's program. He is now in Israel reforming its welfare system. This guy is a dyed-in-the-wool "movement" conservative who worked in the Reagan administration. So I know that Giuliani does employ and inspire conservatives, and agrees with conservative philosophy on many domestic issues.
Find where I said that and post it in quotes. If you can't do that and you can't. Then shut your lying mouth.
Yes, you are a liar because I didn't say it.
So you choose a "leader" who would be happy to pay for the murder of his own grandchild?
That statement is SO foul, I don't see how anyone who claims to be pro-life could support Giuliani.
Nobody is conservative enough.
This group would trash Jesus himself for telling people to pay their taxes rather than fighting to cut them.
And yet he never appointed a SINGLE conservative judge in NY.
Odd, that.
Okay. You've showed me your strawman, now I'll show you mine:
This article is marked as being from "Free Republic," but linked to at "the Weekly Standard." These two publications are often confused, but rarely cross-linked. I, therefore, presume it's a mistake, especially since I am a regular NR reader and never heard of the authors.
Well, good for you. Do that about a billion more times and your boy might lead in a poll or two.
The term Respect Conservative is a good term for Rudy G. And NRO is doing what most will do. Realize that the Dems cannot be allowed to win. Mitt , St. John, Newt , Hunter, no one there will beat either Her Highness or BO. Rudy G could do it with a good conserv VP choice. I want to win. I do not want to go down as in Nov. '06 with my marvy principles in tact and my Party out of power. At least the Stupid Party (GOP) gets it right once in awhile. The Evil Party(Dems) never gets it right.
You distort what he said.
Click on the link again - it goes right there.
Ronald Reagan raised taxes, doubled the size of government, gave amnesty to millions of illegals, and gave arms to the Iranians.
He appointed James Webb to his administration twice.
He had George Bush Sr. as a vice president.
He nominated Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Conner to the Supreme Court
Reagan was an actor, the head of a union, and a life-long democrat until he changed parties.
Reagan was certainly a "good enough" conservative. But nobody is pure, nobody is perfect. The few that come close won't win an election because true pure conservatives (whatever THAT is, we certainly can't agree in THIS board what positions are the "truly conservative") make up a minority of voters in this country, and the majority will be happy to vote for a conservative only if it looks like they are reasoned, open, and willing to compromise to get things done.
Reagan won because Carter was an unmitigated disaster. He won again because he knew when to compromise and managed to make a LOT of people happy, including independents.
Gulliani certainly isn't MY pick for president, but he'd be a better fiscal conservative than George Bush has been.
Admin moderators please correct the link title. Thanks!
I don't know how many judges he gets to choose. A lot of our judges are elected here in NY. Plus there's the fact that there aren't a lot of conservatives here AND the fact that, if they need to get through the City Council, they won't. At last count, there's maybe 2 or 3 Republicans in the entire City Council. We're outnumbered by at least 5 - 1 here in the People's Republic of New York. These people would elect Noriega over Reagan or either of the Bushes.
The forum owner equating Rudy supporters with treason is pretty stupid. I'd rather be rude than stupid, but that's just me.
