Rudy Versus Duncan - Battle for the GOP's Soul (vanity)

PA Times | 2/27/07 | Mr. Pissant

Keep it civil, please.

[Brilliant]

I would be more inclined to support Duncan but for 2 things: 1) I don't like his protectionist position, and 2) I don't think he can beat Hillary or Obama.

[Enosh]

Keep it civil, please.

Ha!

Hunter needs to come to michigan and confront the liberals who are destroying my home.

[conservatrice]

I think that Hunter is our only hope right now.

[JHBowden]

"I think that Hunter is our only hope right now."

If you're hoping for protectionism, big government, and helping Comrade Clinton win, perhaps.

[JRochelle]

Rudy is peaking now. And thats a good thing.

Once REAL conservatives become aware of his record and past views, he's toast.

Sure he's a great speaker and he's able to throw a check back at the Arab who gave it to him, but thats not gonna carry him into the White House.

[zarf]

I could easily support either guy without blinking an eye.

The only difference is that Rudy can win.

[JRochelle]

You must be thrilled about the impending influx of Mexican trucks on our highways!

No offense to Mr. Hunter, but he is one of the least inspiring candidates I've seen in a while. Someone said "market him as the new Ronald Reagan". That is just not going to happen. Being a nice conservative man with solid convictions just is not enough.

[Brilliant]

I saw him talking to O'Reilly about illegal immigration. First, he assured O'Reilly that the border fence WILL be built. He said it's already been funded. Then at the very end of the interview, he urged O'Reilly to put pressure on Congress to get the fence built.

I'm not sure if anyone other than me noticed the inconsistency.

When I think about what you wrote,

"I would be more inclined to support Duncan but for 2 things: 1) I don't like his protectionist position, and 2) I don't think he can beat Hillary or Obama." I think if many conservatives has the same thoughts,we are in the crapper as country.

I would rather have real conservative run and lose, than a RINO run and win, because in my book a RINO is not far from Obama or Hill

[Brilliant]

Obama and Hillary are socialists. None of the RINOs are socialists.

[trisham]

Keep it civil, please.

Optimist. :)

AT this point rudy is riding on a name recognition bubble. When the people who support him because of that learn his liberal positions, he's going to have a hell of a lot of trouble winning the primaries.

Giuliani is a liberal even if he wears conservative clothing..
Hes just cross dressing.. Its Not looked down upon in NYC..
But in the Baptist South.. raises eyebrows.. opens bibles..

[Blackirish]

I don't like Hunter's big spending and after 20 years he is too much of an insider.
I don't think he will twist his buddies arms to do the dry, hard work of tort reform,tax reform,vouchers, entitlement reform runaway spending. He has certainly not led on these issues yet.
He'd prolly be good on the border and WOT.

I don't think another social conservative/fiscal liberal in the mold of W has a chance.

JHBowden (President Giuliani in 2008! Executive branch backed abortions, gay marriages, gun control for all!)

[The Blitherer]

On the flip side there is a candidate that not only espouses Reaganism, but has lived and voted it.

I assume you're plugging your own candidacy right? Right?
