All day today we are covering speakers and panels at the 34th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC. This morning, we'll hear from Republican presidential hopeful former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He will be followed by Reps. Scott Garrett (NJ), Tom Tancredo (CO), and others.

I haven't seen anybody doing that; I've seen people, myself included, pointing out that abortion and guns aren't going to be the issues that decide the election in 2008.
Most everybody here is against abortion and for guns.
Hey, I've been here, all along... Where've you been? :^D
Former "conservative activists" at best, now that they're supporting a pro-abort, pro-gay agenda, gun-grabbing liberal.
why would I do that? and why do you insist on making this personal?
Your previous comment about fetuses "killing" just struck me as odd, and made me think about a funny way to illustrate the oddity, so I did. But I didn't make it personal.
While there are people who believe no abortion should be legal, they are such a small minority as to be dismissible.
Virtually all pro-life people allow for abortion when the mother's life truly is in danger. But it's odd to see the fetus BLAMED for killing a mother, as if they were acting out of spite, hatred, or malice like abortionists do.
The Virgin Islands!
Thank you for taking the effort to accommodate my request. I appreciate it!
Yeah, they should emulate your model of inferring that Rudy critics are Klan.
I think it's a dog. What do other people think it is?
I took from your posts that you were mocking people/women who may want to have an abortion because of their health.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
No problem. :)
Whose your third candidate? I don't have one myself, but maybe I missed someone in a senior moment. :)
If he fights the WOT, as I know he will, and appoints good SCOTUS, as I believe he will, then everything else is of no issue to me.
I have lurked on this site since 1996 and posted occasionally on various topics that I feel strongly on. I am a born-again Christian that is adamantly opposed to abortion and believe strongly in pro-gun rights. I voted for Ronald Reagan twice, for George H.W. Bush twice and George W Bush twice. However, this will probably be my last post.
Horror of horrors - I am a Rudy fan. There, I've said it.
I can't believe the hostility and moral superiority being thrown at Giuliani supporters. I resent being labeled a liberal because I like a man who may not fit 100% into the preordained "Conservative" box.
It is my understanding that Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Laura Bush were all secretly (or not) supportive of abortion rights. Its entirely possible that their husbands may have run on a pro-life platform because that's what their constituancy wanted and not because of what they truly believed. Whether or not they were really pro-life is moot because none of them did anything toward reversing Roe vs Wade while in office anyway. As a previous poster noted, Ronald Reagan supported the Brady Bill. Ronald Reagan is clearly the best president in my lifetime and, although saying that he had imperfections will surely cause some of the more rabid Conserva-nazis on this site to have the vapors - Reagan was not perfect.
We need a strong president that is not afraid to take on the press, the Euro-wussies and the Islamic Radicals. I believe Rudy is that person. If you don't like him, then fine; support your candidate of choice. The hysterical moral chest-beating on this site has become unbearable - and it seems to be coming from a "select" group of about 15 serial posters. The ugly attacks are pathetic. Have a nice next two years with your tunnel vision attitude.
The second amendment to the United States Constiution is a "states rights" issue?
Most posters I've come across are wholly against abortion and totally for guns. Neither issue will be at the top of the list of important issues when election night rolls around. This election will be decided on the War On Terror.
Well, on this thread he says we're "Taliban."
I'm not.
I've seen enought of "conservative" here to want nothing to do with it. Certainly not to be a High Priest.
I'm a Republican, cept when the Dems run pro-life, pro-gun candidates against pro-choice, gungrabbing Republicans, in which case I vote Dem
By the way, Howlin, that last post was not directed at you. I just clicked on your name because it was the last post.
