The dirt has been pulled out on Rudy for nearly 15 years and it hasn't stopped his widespread appeal.

This is true. Which is why I think he'll be an easy winner in '08. But to call him a "conservative" is academically stupid.

[Tanniker Smith]

Like Lipstick on a pig...

. . . So are the Days of Our Lives . . .

[DJ MacWoW]

I don't care what other people think. He is not a conservative. And I ESPECIALLY don't care what a slanted Washington Post-ABC News poll says. If the press loves him, we have a HUGE problem since most of them are libs.

[deaconjim]

I don't hate Rudy, but I'll never vote for him. He's no more a Conservative than Hillary is.

[CindyDawg]

Rudy is not conservative. If you ok with that, fine but please don't try to get people to buy something he isn't selling.

Thank you Peach! Since they want to post articles from 1999, 1993, 1994 about Rudy just to flamebait at least you post ones that are new.

"Government exists above all to keep people safe in their homes and in the streets".

Wrong! Personal safety is very much an individual responsibility in a free nation. The expense of being protected, on a daily basis, is much too great to bear, unless you are a sheep.

[JollyMonSing]

Hillary or Rudy? Which is the lesser of two evils?

[NeoCaveman]

Yes, I am the King of Spain.

Yes, Rudy Giuliani Is a Conservative

What an incredibly creative and unique title for a post!!!/sarcasm

[Peach]

Republicans across the spectrum of fiscal or social conservatives and across the Bible Belt and flyover country love him.

But I'm sure they're all RINOs which stands for Rudy is Number One. And it's just killing ya'll. Thanks for moving the party so far to the right that even a fairly representative number of conservatives are turned off.

[Jeff Head]

Sorry Peach, but from my own perspective, which I believe is solidly based in conservative values...outside of his foreign policy and some of his economic ideas, Rudy on clear moral issues is the anti-thesis of conservatism. His stances on abortion, homsexual unions, and gun control mark him as an individual that I could never, and would never support. No candidate, of any stripe, with those positions will get my vote.

Again, this is my own opinion on the matter and each are free to their own...but I reckon I must stand before my Maker one day, and before God, I could never violate the sacred trust of my free vote for someone who support such positions so diametrically opposed to the very moral basis and foundation for our liberties.

[oceanview]

you make an important observative there.

polls show that the Generation Y demographic runs 58/42 Dem. and if you add to that, the number of single young women who are going to turnout to vote to elect the first woman president, that demographic is going to be very scary for the republicans in 2008. we need a candidate who can push back in that demographic.

Yes, Rudy Giuliani Is a Conservative



The question is "Compared to who????"

[calex59]

Mind you, I don't agree with his every position, but he's being needlessly excoriated around here.

Needlessly excoriated? So you think we should just accept this liberal, socialist, communist leaning so called conservative and not say a word, not try to educate the idiots who actually believe this RINO traitor to be a conservative? The man whose policies on illegal immigration were a big contributor to 9/11? The man who used the diaster he helped create to paint himself as a hero? That guy? We needlessley excoriate that man?

The way you get out the word on candidates is to let people know the facts about them, if that is needlessly excoriating them, then so be it.

Recommending a "Rudy" forum.

Why? If you have a rah!rah! Rudy forum and a rah! rah! ah....say Duncan Hunter or Newt forum, it's a feel good think but not good for debate. I would rather see things rough and rowdy , if information and education happening. JMO

Rudy is a fiscal and law and order conservative.

And those of us who like him are happy to stand in the company of people like Newt Gingrich, Michael Reagan, Rep. Sessions, Sen. Brownback, Ted Olson, etc.

They are staunch conservatives and they like, support and/or endorse Rudy.
