If Giuliani can get through primaries, he stacks up well For a guy commonly regarded as a hero after 9/11, Mayor Giuliani is too quickly dismissed by presidential handicappers. Here's why he deserves a second look.

He will split the party and lose to almost any rat out there. I for one will not vote for him.

Second, there is nothing that he can do as President to directly affect abortion laws. The POTUS nominates SCOTUS justices. That is not "nothing."

Republicans and yes, Conservatives who support him.According to the socons here on FR (e.g., the anti-Giuliani zealots), I am not a conservative if I even mildly support him (he's at best my third choice).

Im not calling you anything but someone I disagree with on Rudy, and I have no problem with you expressing your opinion.
What I want in the White House it a person I can trust on all issues, and Rudy fits that criteria for me.
Your turn, call me a Rudybot... LOL.

Jane Wyman divorced Ronald Reagan not the other way around and it was something that he vehemently opposed. That tart broke his heart.

You guys sure dominate the Free Republic. The Liberal Republican Cheerleaders are around 15% of the membership. Yet you post more than 70% of the articles in regards to the 2008 election.
From now on you are to be known as the "Fifteen Percents".
Good luck continuing your push for you beloved Liberal on a Conservative Forum!

It doesn't seem to be happening, many conservatives have no problem with supporting Rudy.

He will split the party the question that remains to be seen is how bad that split will be.It's OK. We'll pick up the Rats who really like what he did for NYC. Remember "Reagan Democrats"?

The mutt can't even carry his own state. The 'latest'
(1) Quinnipiac Poll has Hillary creaming St Rudy 50% to 40% in NY state. That's 31 EV's right there for The Beast.
The last president to win, while losing his home state was... Al Gore (Bwaaaaahaha).
1; That 'latest' poll is from Feb 14th. IMO something is up if they haven't done another one - OR maybe they're hiding it due to Hillary's lead increasing over Julie in NY.

To: LtdGovt
The problem with that is he is not on the wrong side of just one issue, he is wrong on many:
guns
gays
abortion
illegals
Just to name a few.

The last time there was such blind loyalty to a left winger was for BJ Clinton until Rudy.
WHY?

Did it ever occur to you that the roughly 35% of Americans who do not see themselves as Democrat or Republican/ Liberal or Conservative will swarm to Rudy in droves?
Even if 10% of conservatives stay home (which I doubt since conservatives are patriots and see the dangers of "President Hillary") they won't be nearly enough to counter the converts coming to vote for Rudy.

You are splitting hairs and dealing in semantics. If someone is pro-choice they are not against abortion. If they are not against it they are for it.
He is against it, and that is not splitting hairs. I don't favor outlawing caviar, but that doesn't mean that I like it. Is that splitting hairs?

I can vote for Rudy. McCain, I cannot vote for.
If everyone who remembers how Ross Perot gave us 8 years of Clinton still votes for a splinter third party "pure conservative" candidate, then they need collectively need their heads examined.
There is NO perfect conservative candidate. As soon as the purists realize this and start focusing on stopping Hillary, the better off we will all be.
The time to stop Rudy is in the primaries. If he wins the nomination then he is the single best chance to stop Hillary. The sooner everyone realizes that the winner of the nomination needs a unified turnout, the better.
