"It's much stupider to empower someone like Giuliani to take control of your party. I'd rather lose than surrender to Liberalism (Socialism)."
This is nonsense. Is Steve Forbes a socialist also? Rudy is a tax-cutting crime-fighting supply-sider. He opts to leave the social issues like abortion and gun control to the various states--but promises to nominate strict constructionists. And he's the sworn enemy of Islamo-fascism. The leftwing media fears him because of his immense competence and because it knows he would win enough blue states to produce an electoral landslide--and put the Congress back into GOP hands. What more should Republican conservatives want? We're not electing a pope.
In November 2008 there will almost certainly be three choices. Herevilself, Rudy, stay home(AKA Herevilself). Who ya got?
Certainly not this:
