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

Gallup ^ | 3/20/07

[gathersnomoss]

Jeff didn't ask me. Will someone please look up conservative?

[philman_36]

What a shame. What you're saying, basically, is that money buys the Presidency.
How low we've sunk if that is the case.

Giuliani Top Choice Among Both Moderate, Conservative Republicans
_________________________________
"Not with this conservative Republican."

Nor this one.

[Marine Inspector]

Hmm, the informal office poll among all the Conservative and Libertarians here where I work reveal ZERO (0) support for Rudy McRomney, yes, all three.

Same results here in my office.

[MACVSOG68]

My point is, RINO Rudy will do just as much damage as HRC.

And my point is that the only group I can think of off hand that will not particularly benefit politically from either of those two is the social right. And for me, that's a good thing, as many parts of their agenda do not belong in the campaign, nor in the law.

It's still 10 months out from the primaries. The field is by no means set, and the choices are not Clinton or Giuliani.

I agree with you completely on that. I would say that Clinton is in greater danger because of her negatives than Giuliani, who right now is the most popular person in America. But, yes, if other candidates can put together something other than a local or regional organization and raise the tens of millions of dollars needed, there is time left. But that person has to get past the top three, none of whom is acceptable to the social right. So outside of Fred Thompson, I'm not sure who else could do it.

We should be insisting that the RNC put forward the best candidate for our country, and that candidate is in no way RINO Rudy.

that's exactly what the primaries are for. As for "WE", there is a large split in our Party right now, so there is no "WE". I ask only that everyone work for their choice, and after February, "WE" all finally come together to defeat Hillary, or Obama, or Gore.

[dforest]

Hillary's FBI files are the most overrated source of power I can recall. They are a great myth but only that.

How do you know?

People like Rudy always have secrets. Guaranteed. Rudy is their dream come true. If they can only get us to go for it.

Suit yourself, I am not buying, ever.

[KATIE-O]

It's worth precisely as much as any other individual on this board.

At least I can look at my self in the mirror in the morning knowing that I will not support that POS Giuliani. He may be your hero, but he's just another Clintoon as far as his record goes.

If he wins and puts pro abortion judges on the SCOTUS, will you be proud of yourself then?

Sure you will, remember, win at ANY cost, right?

That sounds more like the philosophy of the left.



And you sound like the typical liberal Kos-Tard flamer. I didn't call your candidate a POS, nutwad!! You people are sickening!

[InfraRed]

Your problem is finding someone who can BEAT him. And that is a HUGE problem.

Unfortunately, that statement does bare truth at the moment. However, the fat lady is not yet singing.

Particularly since those you would prefer have NO following to speak of, are complete unknowns, nutcases or hated.

No following? You brought up FR polls earlier, so here's a taste of your own medicine:

Rudy vs Fred
Fred Thompson 	65.9% 		4,165
Rudy Giuliani 	19.3% 		1,219

Rudy vs Newt
Newt Gingrich 	60.5% 		3,478
Rudy Giuliani 	24.3% 		1,395

Rudy vs Duncan
Duncan Hunter 	59.3% 		3,058
Rudy Giuliani 	28.6% 		1,474

Bonus:
Rudy vs McCain
*Note: Rudy does better here, but it's still bad... 49.6% will NOT vote for Rudy!
Rudy Giuliani 	47.0% 		2,208
Write-in 	19.7% 		924
Third party 	13.2% 		618
Stay home 	9.3% 		435
John McCain 	5.3% 		248
Undecided 	3.5% 		163
Leave blank 	2.1% 		99
               100.1% 		4,695

Just in case you missed your own words...
Principle might matter to Freepers, but it matters little to the big money folks. They took a financial beating backing social conservatives in 2006, so they are going for a different kind of horse this time. The polls suggest that Giuliani is a thoroughbred who can win in the fall, and the money wants to back a winner more than anything else.
A Presidency, bought and paid for by the big money folks.
And don't forget, "the money" will want that horse to pay off once he wins too. You ought to ask yourself...What's the price to be paid?

[Pox]

You're full of shi'ite, IMO.

It's still 10 months out from the primaries, and you've swallowed the liberal MSM koolaid wholesale. Anything can happen between now and then, and your insistence that you have an insider's point of view I do not believe.

Instead of blindly following what the MSM liberals want, which is one of the Rudy McRomney 3, why not put our efforts into convincing Mr. Thompson that he would be the best candidate the Republicans could field, as in encourage him to run.

Hitlery can be beaten easily by Mr. Thompson, and I'm going on record now as stating that Giuliani will not win the election, and having him as the ticket will be a disaster for the country in another way, win or lose.

Giuliani will not encourage conservatives to get out and vote come election day. That translates to the dims picking up even more seats in the House and Senate. Get it?

You RINO Rudy supporters need to step back from the abyss and see what your line of reasoning has in store for this country come election day. Disaster is the theme.

[Howlin]

Gee whiz, a FR poll as evidence Rudy can be beaten?

FGS, get real.

[Pox]

See my post #291.

I see that I must have hit the target since I'm starting to get some real good flak heading my way!

[Redcloak]

Kinda amazing who's sitting at home on a weekend, huh?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Rudy's stances are no mystery. His accomplishments have been listed over and over as you know. These you ignore to concentrate upon the laws he served under and pretenses that he would govern the nation like he did NYC. This is consistent with your tendency to underestimate his ability, his appeal and his intelligence. Add to that the great love of insulting those who support him and you don't get a winning combination.

[MACVSOG68]

Hillary's FBI files are the most overrated source of power I can recall. They are a great myth but only that.

That's true, and even conservative sources have substantiated that. But it sure did sound good at the time.

[papasmurf]

They didn't call me. You?

:O)

P

[justshutupandtakeit]

How do I know? Because those files have been blamed for more things than Karl Rove including tooth decay and flatulence.

"Rudy is their dream come true." Who is "they"?

[justshutupandtakeit]

"...money buys the Presidency." Hillary will have more to spend than Rudy and she won't even get close.

[massadvj]

What a shame. What you're saying, basically, is that money buys the Presidency. How low we've sunk if that is the case.

It's been the case since the American Revolution, my friend. This country was established not by peasants with pitchforks,or even religious zealots, but by merchants mad about their taxes. They respected God enough to put His name on our money, but their politics were mainly motivated by money and remain so to this day.
