I never said that. I hope to vote for Gingrich to keep HRC out of the White House.

I would vote for Mr. Gingrich if he was the nominee although my preference is Mr. Thompson. I don't believe he has any chance of winning the election, but since he reflects my beliefs and preferences, I would vote for him.

I agree that the crossection of FR is not significant.

Then why bother attempting to sway those of us who "don't matter", or defending those who attempt to?

I think his admission is great. Nothing wrong with having someone tell you to go *u*k yourself to your face.

I see it differently. As a politician you want to attract the most votes you can, particularly in a nationwide contest and particularly from the base of your party, and his statement seems to me to be more in the vein of "F___ Off, who needs ya anyways".

That's the really sad part. You, like the majority of the anti-Rudy's on this site presume that in April, 2007, before your taxes are due, that Rudy's the nominee and woe are us, what can we do.

You're conveniently ignoring the fact, or perhaps unaware the fact, that the majority RINO Rudy supporters on this site are adamant that he is the only one who can possibly beat HRC and we must all support him to keep out HRC. Wasting our time on other conservatives who cannot beat HRC in this nonconservative country is a waste of time. For those who actually acknowledge that him being the Republican nominee is not etched in stone at this point, their immediate 'next step' is to insist that all of us back any candidate who is nominated to the Republican ticket. While I would accept that just about any other Republican attempting to get the nomination, I and many others will stick to our principles and refuse to vote for RINO Rudy for a few different reasons, and we are belittled for sticking to our principles.

Give the pro-Rudy's some credit, they're proactive and upbeat, and that's a good way to win elections.

Not a chance. Seeing as how this is a conservative site, not Republican, I give credit to those who are upbeat and proactive over a conservative candidate attempting to get the Republican nomination, not a liberal RINO. IMO, it's a good way to tear apart the Republican party for good.

We may disagree, but as I see it, at this point it time, Rudy is winning. And this point in time is April, not December. But you have to accept that.

I’m sorry, they are upbeat, they’ve reason to be as Howard Dean did pre-scream, and as regards FR they put out a more positive message.

Note your first comment to me.

I’m OK with Thompson if Newt doesn’t run, and a Thompson entry makes that very unlikely. But what’s with I don't believe he has any chance of winning the election. Good grief, if either one of them can surmount what I suspect will be a strong pro-Rudy media bias, a clear fundraising lead, and a lead in the polls, are you really telling me they can’t compete against Hillary or Obama? That’s an admission that conservative positions are losers in the marketplace, and I don’t believe it.

And yes, this may well not be a Republican site, and people can go off and support whomever they wish. As they've always done.
