Where the HECK does RUDY GIULIANI fit in with the ABOVE????

[Clara Lou]

I dunno. Fred Thompson fits, though.

[jdm]

Uh oh, now you really done it. :O)

[Mount Athos]

I think Rudy is popular precisely because people don't know how far to the left he is on so many issues. Once they figure it out he will sink.

The list is long. Somehow people usually forget to include his position on amnesty and borders onto the list.

He fits in with the "anti-above". As time has gone on, you've seen more liberals arrive at FR. They're sort of like the Muslims in Europe. They hate where they are, but enjoy the benefits of being there.

Just a Reminder: Free Republic is a Conservative Site

The only important difference between Nazi - ism, Fascism, Communism, Socialism and Liberalism is the spelling, and that the last group hasn't got the brains to figure it out.

Is this a Rudy bashing post? Why don't you spend your time bashing Hillary?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I was all for Rudy until the stench of his social liberalism, which he refused to repudiate, became too much to bear.

Rudy's support of abortion on demand right up until birth has undermined whatever leadership or conservative qualifications he possesses.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Yup, that pretty musch sums up my stand also.

[Bahbah]

I wonder if I belong here. My mind is supposed to be made up for me. It appears that we don't try to persuade. We excommunicate.

Why is this happening? This is supposed to be the place where I get the information to make up my own mind on the issue of who gets my vote for president. We are months and months away. But it appears there is a slate of people I should not be allowed to consider, whatever the situation might be when it actually comes time to vote.

Well, okay then.

[pgkdan]

I don't know, and I for one, am getting sick and tired of seeing this preeminent conservative forum being used to shill for a liberal candidate. We're a CONSERVATIVE site and we should be espousing and defending conservative points of view.

[I_like_good_things_too]

Frankly, you could ask the same thing about President Bush. How does he fit in with all of those characteristics? Smaller government?

Bump for late reading.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Precisely. I could vote for Jim Robinson. That is a most excellent statement. Rudy? No way!

[Enterprise]

I think Giuliani fits in here somewhere.

[atomicpossum]

Judging by what I've seen around FR, as well as a hysterical reply to a post I just got in my inbox, I think some people are willing to jump on the Rudy bandwagon just because they hear he's the most 'electable' and they want to win at all costs, and believe Rudy is the only way-- of course, it's absurd to think that this election is carved in stone 18 months out, or that any one candidate is the magic bullet and you have to support them RIGHT NOW. It will be a long campaign season, people will join the race, people will leave it, and public opinion will change as they get to know these name-recognition candidates better. Remember, HOWARD DEAN was the Democrat front-runner, too...and didn't make a worthwhile showing to get their nomination. That kind of thing happens all the time.

[airborne]

It's a public forum, and so long as the owners allow, people can support whoever they want.

Even a closet liberal RINO like Rudy.

[proxy_user]

"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and pro-America.

Rudy? He's for all of the above except 2 and 6. But evidently, 11 out of 13 isn't good enough.

[joesbucks]

I think Rudy got ZOTTED earlier in the year.
