"The only difference in a Liberal Rudy Giuliani and Liberal Hillary Clinton is the fact of which bathrooms they select to use and there are some who are willing to even question that."
"As a Conservative, I would rather back a Conservative Republican Candidate and see him lose the Presidential Election on principle"
I have a great deal of respect for you.
But please consider the consequences: UNCHECKED Marxist Dem power: Dem President, larger Dem Control of both Houses of Congress AND activist judges nominated and confirmed by Dems, handing ALL THREE BRANCHES of the US government over to the treasonous, socialist Dems.
Conservatives need to focus on the big picture. You can see all the damage the Dems are already doing to the country, by weakening us against the terrorists -- just imagine the damage they will do with a Dem president for 8 years and teh judges who will be there for the next 40-50 years.
It's just a name.
Conservatives need to figure out where we go from here.
It's early.
I seriously hope Fred Thompson throws his hat in the ring.
Barring that, I'm in a wait and see mode.
Very well said my FRIend.
It makes one hope with furvor that DUncan Hunter gets more exposure, (I see him as the closest to a true conservative of ANY of them declared thusfar) and lacking that, I pray that Fred Thompson gets into this race soonere rather than later!! We need to have his views heard LOUD and OFTEN!
Perhaps I'm a conspiracy theorist, be I believe the Republican Party leadership is deliberately using and manipulating the threat of a takeover by evil nasty Democrats as a means of keeping power. They would rather keep the country on the edge of oblivion than allow conservatives to gain enough traction that they didn't have to be in constant fear of liberals.
Your last line says it all. I would rather fall with my principles intact than stand OR fall without them.
At this point it looks like the whole primary process is based on avoiding the tough questions.
You act like the liberal media had no input into Republicans losing control of Congress. In fact, it was the major reason.
Instead, they just let them get by with it.
Disgusting.

It's still early.
I have a hunch that it will work itself out.
But right now, we conservatives are justifiably angry that there are those in our midst who place power over principles.
That's used to be the Democrat MO.
Conservatives who can't win are ultimately as bad for the my principles as Liberals who can.
The candidate I choose is usually somewhere between the two. Which at this juncture leaves out everyone but Mitt Romney.
The leaders of the republican party are not that smart or their libs but I repeat myself.
Really? So you were elected to speak for the "base"? You took a poll of the "base"? Or are you possibly projecting your opinion as the "base"'s opinion?
All Your Base Are Belong To Us
I agree. If the Republicans insist on nominating Rudy I will either stay home or vote third party.
A number of Republicans on the trash Ann Colter said that Conservatives could stay home, they weren't needed, the Republicans could win without them.
I guess that the '06 election was a victory for the Republicans when only few Conservatives stayed home. They showed the Democrats!
Should either John MCCain, Rudy, or Mitt get the Republican nomination for President, the slaughter of Republicans at the polls will make '06 look like a cakewalk.
Henry “Harry” Hay, the founder of the modern American gay movement, died on October 24, 2002 at age 90.
(snip)
Hay devoted his entire life to progressive politics, and in 1950 founded a state-registered foundation network of support groups for gays known as the Mattachine Society.
(snip)
Hay was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness as a form of spiritual calling. A rare link between gay and progressive politics
(snip)
“Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism,” said David M. Smith of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, DC. “When you were in a room with him, you had the sense you were in the company of a historic figure.”
(snip)
“Mattachine” took its name from a group of medieval dancers who appeared publicly only in mask, a device well understood by homosexuals of the 1950s. Hay devised its secret cell structure (based on the Masonic order) to protect individual gays and the nascent gay network. Officially co-gender, the group was largely male -- the Daughters of Bilitis, the pioneering lesbian organization, formed independently in San Francisco in 1956.
(snip)
Though some criticized the Mattachine movement as insular, it grew to include thousands of members in dozens of chapters, which formed from Berkeley to Buffalo, and created a lasting national framework for gay organizing. Mattachine set the stage for rapid civil rights gains following 1969’s Stonewall riots in New York City.
