"I am convinced Rudy's popularity in the GOP is simply our way of showing just how sick and tired we are of the 'new tone' and being kicked around by the MSM/Lefties. Sure, things like immigration and abortion are important to us, but we have enough of those to last us for while. What we need now is someone who will take the fight to the liberals, not roll over and play dead."

Great in theory, but unproven in practice.
And how will Rudy take the fight to the liberals when it comes to life issues when he's not even on the same side?!?

If we want a real fighter, go with Vietnam vet Duncan Hunter.
If we want someone who can outsmart the liberals, go with Mitt Romney.

re: Great in theory, but unproven in practice

I couldn't agree more! I think I was more speaking to the impression a lot of conservatives have of Rudy, based on things like returning the millions of dollars and kicking Arafat out of the Lincoln Center, than what he would likely be in office.

Speaking for only myself, I am really sick and tired of seeing the MSM/Lefties run roughshod over us and not one of our elected representatives having the cojones to fight back. And the outcome of the Scooter Libby trial has done nothing to encourage me. Fitzgerald was allowed to continue an investigation after he had already made the discovery he was commissioned to investigate.

I would welcome a few years of someone like Rudy standing up to the MSM/Lefties. Then we can get back to the job of getting the conservative train back on the tracks. Even with it off the tracks I would like to hear its whistle drowning out the other side!

I am convinced that our country is at a crossroads. We are going to have to wrestle the direction we're going back from the liberals or we won't be leaving our children and grandchildren a country that doesn't even remotely resemble the country I grew up in.

It would not surprise me to see Rudy's star dim pretty quickly as the campaign goes along. I don't think he is the best we have to offer, but I think right now he makes us feel like we at least have a voice after several years of silence.
