(((((INTERESTING RUDY PING)))))

[Peach]

White evangelical Protestants now clearly favor Rudy Giuliani over Sen. John McCain, "despite his support of abortion rights and gay rights, two issues of great importance to religious conservatives."

Uh oh. I sense impending hysteria among the drama queens.

[mainepatsfan]

I know it's still early but I don't see where McCain is going to gain any more support from.

[TommyDale]

Funny, I don't know anyone who calls him/herself an Evangelical who is in favor of a pro-abortion candidate.

[Not A Snowbird]

I thought I just saw a poll saying that conservatives were leaving Rudy over abortion.

Which is it?! I'm confunded.

[rintense]

That's because even evangelicals know McCain is nuts.

And since when have all Christians become evangelicals? Hmmm...

# White evangelical Protestants now clearly favor Rudy Giuliani over Sen. John McCain, "despite his support of abortion rights and gay rights, two issues of great importance to religious conservatives."

Despite the best efforts of some fixated Freepers who imagine they speak for a legion of people. These folks know that the goal is to elect a good leader, not turn the GOP big tent into Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.

To say you prefer Guiliani over McCain does not mean you would or could ever vote for Guiliani. It's just that McCain pushes people's buttons while Guiliani doesn't. But I can't agree with Guiliani on the issues. So I can't vote for him. McCain is a vain hothead I could never trust. I do not want either of these men for my President.

[poobear]

I notice the MSM has no problem with Rudy. Guess they are hoping the far right will sit out the vote if they don't have an anti-abortion candidate. Bingo, Obama or Hillary win with 40% of the popular vote.

[feedback doctor]

I have said it before and will say again, a President is not going to change this country with respect to abortion. It will be those in the pro-life movement who take the words of Christ seriously, to love our enemies and to take care of the fatherless and widows. That will change this country's attitude.

[pissant]

Preeferring Rudy ove McCain? I can see that happening.

[Stonewall Jackson]

And let the mass hysteria begin.

By the way, on your about page, the line from "Ragged Old Flag", She hung limp and low by the time it was through. is actually She hung limp and low a time or two. It's one of my personal favorites.

[free_life]

Don't believe for one second that evangelicals are supporting Rudy. Pure BS.

[Esther Ruth]

It's the curls in his hair that we adore!

[IncredibleHulk]

We seem to be destined to vote in a first this election cycle. A woman, a black or a Mormon. I say we take care of all three at once and elect Gladys Knight.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

"Evangelicals have come over to Rudy's side even knowing his pro chioce stance." (My quote)

Ouch! That's going to leave a mark!

New York, New York appears to be in the making, reckon?

Without Gingrich (recalculated, based on second choice of Gingrich voters):

	Rudy Giuliani	53
	John McCain	23
	Mitt Romney	5
	Sam Brownback	2

	None of these (vol.)	2
	Wouldn't vote (vol.)	1
	Unsure	5

Looks like a Sept start for Gingrich is a no go if'n he wants to really be in the race. He appears to be in position to influence the debate....

[My GOP]

Things just keep looking better and better. So much for the argument the more people know about Rudy the more is poll numbers will drop. The opposite is happening.

[Ciexyz]

Democrats = higher taxes, all the time. If a Dem gets back in the White, kiss your bank account goodbye. (Just look at PA's Governor Ed Rendell, who just announced new planned tax increases. Gee, he never mentioned it BEFORE last November's election.

That's why I'm voting for the frontrunner Republican who can win this race!
