Giuliani Top Choice Among Both Moderate and Conservative Republicans (New Gallup Poll)

Gallup ^ | 3/20/07

Michael Reagan, the Rudybot?

[SJackson]

As bad as an HRC presidency would be, I would rather let that embarrassment (ala Carter) be directly put upon the dims instead of the same embarrassing results be reflected upon the Republicans by RINO Rudy.

I'm sure you're right. A withdrawl from Iraq commencing within 90 days won't do any more harm than Carter's handling of Iran.

What ever happened to those Iranian's anyway? They must be up to something.

[dforest]

They are both. We ain't seen mud yet.

This stuff is some dirt, able to be brushed off.

The mud is yet to be slung, or is it slinged?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Many of those never vote Republican and have no intention of voting Republican. Some even admit they aren't but still believe they have some say on the nominee.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Hunter's numbers are so low he only shows up when Newt is removed. NO one is "scared" of Duncan, unfortunately.

[JohnnyZ]

I don't know if you've ever noticed, but when extremists find they can't argue a point, they turn on the poster?

You mean like, "The person who holds his party hostage to a social agenda out of step with most of America" ....

Of course you're attacking all social conservatives, not just me. But it does shed some light on the little ball of hatred you carry for those who care about life, liberty, family, and religious freedom.

Visit America some time -- or perhaps even (gasp!) a church! -- and you'll find your liberal views are the extreme ones.

"Just like their successful campaign for Bob Dull in '96." What a stupid lie. Dole won the nomination because NO ONE could beat him. The media had nothing to do with it nor was there any sense of it being his because it was owed him. Carter's renomination in 1980 was much the same. He was extremely unpopular because of Iran but could not be defeated in the primaries.

Some times the candidate is just popular enough to get the nomination though no one really cares much for him. That was the case in '96. And the funny thing is Dole COULD have won but for the OKC bombing and Perot.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Who are these campaign posters? All I am aware of are totally UNaffliated professionally with any candidate.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We've been through this before.

Why don't you make like your screen name and buzz off?

[justshutupandtakeit]

"The Drive-By Media have annointed Rudy Giuliani as the GOP nominee because they know they can destroy him later during the real campaign." You keep posting this LIE. Repeating it does not change it from a LIE to the truth.

[M. Thatcher]

obvious campaign workers post here

Name one.

I'm sick of this charge being made - that the only reason posters could possibly hold their policy positions is because they're shills. BS. Posters here are passionate about politics, and passionately post their views. Attempting to deligitimize certain views by claiming those holding them are paid to do so — with no evidence, zip, zero, nada — is intellectually dishonest.

Perhaps you are not aware that the Republican Party has a platform stating its principles and beliefs.

I'm very well aware of it.  In fact I have a post in this very thread that specifically mentions the platform.  I believe it went like this: People should consider that it's not a matter of voting for someone with talking points to their liking.  The trick is getting your talking points into the Republican National Platform, then putting forth a Republican that is electable.

Now using Rudi as the most extreme example, it would be complete folly to believe that if he were elected President, he would support the DNC platform rather than the RNC platform. All presidents are beholding to those that elected them. People that tirelessly pimped their agenda for them, raised hundreds of millions of dollars for them.  People that went to friends and business associates begging for money in the name of their favorite candidate or 527.

Johnson couldn't stand any of the Kennedys, yet he kept JFK's entire cabinet for most of his entire term.  He pushed for passage of Kennedy's tax cut and civil rights bill and declared a "War on Poverty."  Basically the money behind the Democrats in 1960 said "We have power, we have money, here's our platform and JFK is going to sell it for us."  Changing presidents didn't change the platform.

Unless George Soros starts funding the RNC, Rudi Giuliani isn't going to drive any liberal campaigns into law.

A liberal who registers Republican is, literally, a Republican, just not a conservative.

[JohnnyZ]

Dole won the nomination because NO ONE could beat him.

Talk about a stupid truism. He won because no one beat him. Really?? Wow....

The media had nothing to do with it nor was there any sense of it being his because it was owed him.

Revisionist history. The "it's his turn" thing was a major undercurrent through the whole primary process.

I think you just have no clue what you're talking about.

[justshutupandtakeit]

The only man more hated around here than Rudy is McCain. McCain has a ACU rating in the high 80s and generates extreme loathing among conservatives. There are as many who say they will not vote for him as Rudy should either get the nomination.

If it is Mc vs Hillary I would not even think twice about voting for him. Guess my tag sorta says that.

[HawaiianGecko]

Please note that there has been no comment from the Julie-Annie people about post #35. Anyone else hear the crickets?

OK, here's a comment.  I own stock in at least nine of those companies.

[JohnnyZ]

Your alternate reality theory fails to address my post in the least. Good day, sir.

[justshutupandtakeit]

In the Freeper poll on the issue 70% will vote for Rudy over Hillary. That is a HIGHER percentage than he will receive from the general electorate.

Those who divide themselves away from the GOP will not be missed as Rudy will crush any RAT opponent.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Hunter's campaign received its death blow with his horrible showing in the CPAC poll. It may limp along on life support for another couple of months but will be ended soon. Too bad too. But he took on an impossible task. One cannot be that obscure and expect to win even if one is the best man available.

[Pox]

Ah yes, but who's to say that either we won't cave by then (not likely), or that RINO Rudy will not do the exact same thing, 90 or 180 days after taking office? He's a politician with almost no conservative record within him, and I for one do not believe a word he says concerning the WOT.

We, as in all conservatives, need to be pushing for a conservative frontrunner now, specifically Fred Thompson, and to 'coerce' him to run for the good of the country.

That is what we should be doing, not kowtowing to the liberal MSM push-candidate(s), IMO.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Those precautions do not mean that only conservatives do it or that only liberals answer the phone. What does removing the HERMIT vote do to the poll results? :^)
