No...................YOU be afraid, be VERY AFRAID! Rudy did not have a team on the ground and did almost NOTHING there. OTOH, Hunter has a team there, who worked feverishly and spent money on a straw poll that attracted very few people. And Rudy STILL won! :-)

Duncan's that conservative that people say can't win because nobody knows who he is, yet for minimal funds came in second against the majority of the MSM named front runners.

but, he can't win of course. We should take this as a moral victory and support the guy who agrees with us on only one issue instead.... why fight for principle after all? It's all about that "R" dang nabbit it. ;-)

I am not angry at all. I am sick of the spam that guy is spewing. Are you aware of how many times he posted the exact same sentence in two different threads.

McCain is a creep; he once convinced several senators to vote "with him" on a certain bill that they didn't even care about, but which was kind of sketchy (for the life of me, I can't remember what it was now), but they stood with him and voted for a bill that could come back to bite them on the butt.

McCain stood by the clerk's desk, watching the vote tally; AFTER they had all voted and when he saw that his vote wasn't needed to pass, he voted against the very bill he had gotten them to vote for.

You are just playing games, imo. If you don't agree with the premise - there's no reason to go any further.

Yep...that's been referenced several times.

With every passing day, the position of the Rudy supporters gets more precarious.

Thanks for that. It's pretty sad when the guy who types the phrase doesn't even recognize the acronym isn't it? :-)

I'll blame it on the long drive from Amarillo to Houston today and not my early onset of Alzheimers. :-)

What I can't figure out is the low participation in Free Republic polls. I read that the membership here is something like 200,000...is this true? And yet about 5,000 vote in the polls frequently posted.

I'm in the military, and I fully agree with Gray Ghost's comment.

I thank you for your service, Old_Mil. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to why you would agree that Hillary would be no worse/no better than Giuliani. And for what it's worth, I also am not impressed with Giuliani on the social issues. But I see an ENORMOUS difference between Hillary and Giuliani when it comes to the WOT, Iraq, and our military. Hillary has done nothing but try to play politics with our troops lives and she's still doing just that! Ok, I yelled. I'm sorry. But this really gets my goat. I don't know one single military person who thinks that Hillary Clinton as president, as Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, is anything less than HORRIFYING!

what is important to me above all others is winning.

I truely respect your opinion. Maybe, you fear Hillaryous. She will not win. I can not see into a crystal ball, but I do believe that Middle America will not vote for her.

Middle Amercia can be so turned off by a liberal Repbulican that they may not show up.

I think the best is to unify the Party under the people who have a agenda.

Sure, Rudy supporters have agenda and that is to win.

But Conservative have the right for babies to breath air to protect. Maybe not clean air, but air baby. We have our guns to protect. We have a reason for being Republican. Take that away from people and they have no reason to be Republican. Give them a choice that mirror's the Demorats and they may just get turned off enough to allow the rats to win.

About 10,000 probably regularly read this site, and half those choose to vote in the FR polls.

Who was it that was saying Rudy would win in Spartanburg? Doesn't that guy know how to hedge his bets?
