WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rudy Giuliani's message to social conservatives: If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

[WileyPink]

"Mr Speaker...I make a motion that this candidate's nomination be withdrawn on the basis that the candidate has requested that we not vote for him..."

All in favor signify by saying 'Ba Bye'

[madison10]

Okay...leavin’it and YOU, Mr. Giuliani.

[rintense]

He’ll back the Dem who echoes his stance on the WoT. Whoever that is.

I think an important point here is that, not only will I not vote for Rudy in the primary, but I will not vote for him if he is the final Republican candidate running against Hillary. I think the last election spoke loud and clear that many of the conservative base will no longer go along with the lessor of two evils. They want a candidate that represents their core values, not liberal lite, and won’t “settle” any more. Those like me will be looking to third parties for their candidate.

[Antoninus]

There's always Hillary! There's always Obama!

As wise people should have learned in 2006, fear of the other party is not enough to win elections....

[GrandEagle]

LOL!! Typical Republican platform lately - "Vote for us, we're not as bad as the other guys".
Personally, I would rather have a known enemy than I had an enemy in friends clothing.

[Howlin]

I remember when conservatives actually believed in that, don’t you?

Of course, that was before they unappeasalbes among us decided to try to impose their particular brand of moralism on the entire country.

[Dead Corpse]

"Don't let the door hit you in your skinny New York liberal backside Rudy..."

Hunter/Thompson or Thompson/Hunter. A combo that'd beat the dogsnot out of any combo the Dims could throw together.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Oooh, our resident liberal-defending liar pipes up!

Finally finish coordinating your attack over at widea@@es?

[TommyDale]

"I stand by my assertion, that if he is ousted by a true conservative, he backs the dem candidate."

Of course! He always has in the past!

[N3WBI3]

This is not guts, this is more pandering to the left... Nobody who was going to vote for him yesterday has been convinced not to vote for him because he said this.

[EternalVigilance]

Is that the new campaign slogan for Giuliani?

Well, it does carry a bit of a NY feel to it...hmmm...

;-)

[Howlin]

No, we’re not cranky at all; it’s just none of your damn business what we did while we were gone.

You’re ugly as snot to me and then want to know my personal business?

ESAD.

[caisson71]

Works for me.

[conservative blonde]

Fred is against federal funding of abortion. In fact Fred is very pro-life. I didn’t need Julieannie’s permission not to vote for him. He is an over inflated jerk.

[TommyDale]

What is your problem today? I thought you were a Fred Thompson supporter. The unraveling of Giuliani should be good news.

[nctexan]

Amazing how quick some will respond to the words of the CNN headline writers and pundits...

Here's the Rudy quote: "If that's real important to you, if that's the most important thing, I'm comfortable with the fact that you won't vote for me," the former mayor said.

The CNN leftist writers obviously wanted to stir up the reaction they got here.

How does this stack up with the often heard statements that the MSM is pimping for Rudy.

I don't agree with his abortion position, but I do admire his straight forward statements on the issue.

[EternalVigilance]

I agree.

[Howlin]

not me... I'll vote for the Hildabeast.... best money I ever made when they tanked the drug stocks.... got a Republican legislature, gave the conservatives most of the state houses and governorships....ended welfare....

Well, you're an idiot. Thanks for proving it.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

I was wondering when someone would show up with the "Vote for Rudy or else you'll get HILLABAMA!"
