But, but Rudy sent Arafat packing.

[flashbunny]

"Don't you know that Pat Robertson said that Rudy would make a good president?"

The better question to ask is if I care that Pat Robertson said that Rudy would make a good president.

[Coldwater Creek]

No! that's true!

[airborne]

Lets make a deal = You conservatives need to capitulate

[Coldwater Creek]

Foreign terrorism?

[Labyrinthos]

Don't you know that Pat Robertson said that Rudy would make a good president?

That might be the best reason not to support Guilliani.

[Coldwater Creek]

Oh! I forgot the sarcasm.

Hunter also chaired and is the current ranking Repulican on the House Committee for Armed Services, and served in the US Marine Corps.

What about the lack of body armor in Iraq, do you really want to hear about that for the next 2 years?

[flashbunny]

I was wondering!

If Pat endorses rudy, and rudy endorsed cuomo, would cuomo endorse pat to complete the circle?

[tkathy]

I think all kinds of conservatives are going to think for themselves and not let anyone tell them how to vote!

[Coldwater Creek]

LOL!

"Some day their prince may come--the conservative who hits all the bases--pro-life, pro-supply side, pro-tax cuts, pro-deregulation, and hawkish in foreign policy-- but this day is not it, and that day may never arrive. "

[airborne]

Duncan Hunter comes closest of all!

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Oh, that's right. I retract my statement and bow to His Hero-ness.

;)

Which part of UNELECTABLE are you having trouble comprehending?

You should listen to Newt speaking to CPAC now on webcast. Just started about 15 min ago.

Conservatives should be concerned that nominating a 3x married Catholic who supports abortion and gay rights will drive a good portion of the Catholic vote away from the GOP.

This is the same man who showed up at the Empire State Building, two days after a Palestinian jihadi went on a shooting rampage there, and joined Carolyn McCarthy in calling for more gun control. And he never mentioned the shooter's name, the fact that he was Palestinian, or the word "terrorism". I can't think of a more egregious act in relation to a terrorist attack by any candidate in the field.

You are being disingeniuous. My recollection is that RG issued a press release within hours of the attack that identified shooter by name and origin. Although he did not characterize the shooting as a terrorist attack, there was no evdidence then or to this date establishing as fact that the gunman was anything other than a nut job. (I hate to tell you this, but WASP's don't have a monopoly on insanity.) And while RG did use the shooting as an excuse to advocate gun control, in this particular case he was right. Why? Because the 2nd Amemdment guarantees the right of American Citizens to bear arms. The gunman in this particular incident was not a United States Citizen and had only been in the Country for a couple of weeks on on a visitors visa yet was easily able to buy a firearm in Florida with no questions asked. The 2nd Amendment protects us, not temporary visitors from third-world cesspools.

[Coldwater Creek]

Not to mention the Baptist voters!

[TigersEye]

I will never vote for a gungrabber. Period!

[airborne]

It's too early for me to give in to naysayers, simply because I am told it can't be done.

Forgive me for hoping that the best man wins.

I apologize for caring about my country so much that I'm willing to spend my time and money working toward a cause that I believe in.

I hope you can find it in your heart to pardon a fool for dreaming of a future where doing what you believe is right is more important than following the politically expedient path that others insist is the only way.
