It is your vanity.
I guess you can do whatever you want..and you got a lot of people participating.
However, I might have done it more positively...like posting the FR purpose statement.
Then, asking who we all think would fit that bill...OR, if you are already in favor or a particular candidate, then say something like:
I am thinking of backing "so and so"..and think he comes the closest to these qualities.
INSTEAD....you just threw out red meat...WANTING a fight.
So...you were either fishing for a thread of only people that agree with you and want to bash Rudy...or you were wanting to pick a fight with anyone that might like Rudy as a candidate.
I prefer discussion to picking fights.
INteresting intrpretation.
I guess everyone views thing from a different perspective.
And I see no lack of discussion in this particular thread.
I think some people who have suppoted Giuliani are a bit discomforted by the obvious disconnect between conservative political philosophy and their candidate.
Do you really? Then why come to this thread and participate in a 'fight'? Just start your own thread where people will 'discuss' the subject in a manner more to your liking. They might even support the candidate that you are choosing to support.
I'm glad ZULU initiated this discussion. And so are quite a few others, it appears.
