Last time I checked George W Bush has not managed to overturn Roe V Wade. If Rudy names conservative judges you are a lot closer than with President Hillary.
Hillary recommend Ginsberg to her husband. Janet Reno was Hillary choice for AG.
Good post. Rudy right now is the smart pick for our side to win next year. And that's what it's all about.
interesting comments. he is going to have to be more forthcoming with some of that (mind you, I say this as someone who likes him). for example, he is going to have to explain how he can personally be politically pro-choice, while supporting originalist judges. what would he say if his SCOTUS appointment was the 5th vote to toss Roe? in other words, he has to be willing to say that abortion would be tossed back to the states. on gay civil unions, its true that the states that want it can have it, but Rudy also has to say that the states that decide they do not want it, will not have to fear coercion from the federal government to accept it.
Rudi or McCain. Is this the best we can do? I wouldn't vote for either in a general.
Well, I suppose now 55% of the folks don't know his positions on guns and dressing like a woman and so forth. That number just seems to be going higher and higher every week. What's up, is the electorate becoming more and more ignorant?
Meanwhile, over on the Duncan Hunter threads, crickets are chirping.
"They need to rebrand McCain," one adviser said yesterday, harking back to the independent streak the Arizonan displayed with his 2000 "Straight Talk Express."
McCain gave up his old outsider image for one as an insider, and that might have been fatal for his presidential hopes.
Giuliani, by contrast, has exactly the image he wants - strong leader, 9/11 hero, tough, successful political executive. The nomination is his to lose - I don't see anyone else taking it away from him. Only Giuliani can beat Giuliani, and he does have a temper.
I've been saying for years now that this country is toast. If McCain or Rudi is the best the GOP can do, I guess it's going to be over sooner than I thought.
And in other news; People prefer brussel sprouts to kale 2 to 1.
These polls are bound and determined that the Republican nominee is going to be RINO McCain or RINO Rudy . I detest how the MSM is trying to force feed us these two phonies .
CPAC gave Guliani the most votes as well. They're not exactly the MSM.
Strange , I thought Romney won that straw poll .
You're right. Guliani was second...above Gingrich, Hunter, Tancredo, etc.

What was supposed to be Hollywood propaganda to make a hillary presidency marginally palatable has instead become a parable about missus clinton's own dystopian future. ABC announced the other day that it is pulling "Commander-in-Chief" off the air "until spring." Missus clinton's proxy presidency, you see, has been in a ratings free fall ever since "American Idol" took it on.
'Ars artia gratis.' Please! Samuel Goldwyn must be turning over in his grave....

States' rights is his motivation, and it is huge for conservatives. IF we had a Supreme Court that respected states' rights, then the issues of abortion and civil unions could be dealt with effectively. I think Giuliani is trying to communicate this.
Let's not kid ourselves. There are dozens of abortion-related issues that work their way through Congress and when a pro-abort like Bill Clinton is Prez, MORE BABIES DIE. (This, independent of whether or how many women or girls decide to have an abortion...)
see 38. Paying for abortions in DC, the military, interstate transport of a minor, partial birth, etc etc
