I almost hated to post it, because I really don't hate Rudy, I just hope there is a better option.
I don't think Fred has an ego big enough to be President.
Same.
I cannot support Romney or McCain....and can only support Rudy reluctantly.
Thompson/Gilmore 08!
I don't hate Rudy either. In fact I supported him before I learned Fred was thinking of running.
I got called a RINO a lot. What I'm trying to understand is if I have not changed one core political belief in the last last twenty years how I was "a conservative" for almost two decades, a "RINO" for 3 months and now I'm back to being a conservative. I was a conservative all along. I just want Hillary to lose. The people who throw around the word RINO too easily are sickening.
I like Rudy. He was a great Mayor. I am not sure about him as President, but could get on board. Here is my problem: For the last 6 years, out of blind worship to the GOP, so called conservatives have contorted themselves to excuse every manner of big spending and government intervention. What is scary about Rudy is that they are already doing that, a year before the primaries.
again, this is the position of the majority of freepers. we are accused of being rabid and foaming at the mouth anti-rudys, but the sad truth is, we just think he is NOT the candidate who should be the republican nominee. i bear rudy no ill will, i think he'd be great in the cabinet as Homeland Security head.
