The president has talked about global warming; I just linked someone to one of his speeches tonight in fact. The president said clearly the earth is warming and we need to find the reasons why.

The president is for a guest worker program and so is Rudy.

The president didn’t veto McCain Feingold when given the chance. For that matter, Thompson, a maybe presidential candidate and seeming favorite of freepers, supported McCain Feingold.

The rest of your post is unsourced and I haven’t seen any stats to support.

Exactly. I swear, Reagan himself couldn’t get elected today if we listened to half of these freepers. He wasn’t perfect either, although the mythology surrounding him would sure make you think he was. Anyone remember amnesty and running from Lebanon?

I disagree with the President because he is liberal on those issues as well. Now, you want a Republican even more liberal to assume the White House?

And, I can get you a source on each and every aspect of the Giuliani record I mentioned.

Drink Kool-Aid and believing Rudy is a conservative when he is actually liberal is the best way to contribute to the destruction of the nation.

I hope everybody saw Jerry Falwell tonight on CNN; he said we aren’t trying to elect a Sunday school teacher this time around.

The host pointed out that we HAD elected a Sunday School teacher, Jimmy Carter, and Falwell, bless his heart, said, “Yeah, and he was our worst president ever.”

And he said as far as HE knew, Fred Thompson was a Christian and so were the others.

He sure didn’t sound down on ANY of the candidates to me.

Destruction of the nation? Kool Aid? You sound EXACTLY like a liberal yourself.

I go to our town’s monthly GOP meetings and most of my friends are conservative, and none of them speak like this. You have no idea how glad I am because if they did, I’d leave the party.

But it is extremist and ridiculous language like this that is making the far right sound as silly as the far left, and maybe it’s a good thing the Republican party is moving to the more moderate middle. I never used to think so, but upon reflect, perhaps that is a move that I support. I certainly understand it.

Good for Falwell. And what an excellent point he made about electing a Sunday School teacher (Carter) and how he was the worst president ever. LOL

I suppose those dashes beside the names of Hagel, Hunter, and Trancredo mean that they have LESS THAN 1%....Bad news for their devotees.

“I lead I don’t follow! If I lose I lose but I follow my own course.”

Sounds like the Libertarian party. Probably the only thing that keeps the right together in America, is it’s cohesion.

The left is full of so many interest groups, that it’s hard to keep track. Often they have conflicting interests, and that’s why they’ll lose on many of their agendas. I’m betting man...I do it in my work and I do it in my life. Rudy could have good odds, but there’s so many things that could go wrong. The flop may turn out bad or he may just play the river terribly.

Sorry for the poker terminology, but we’re running on an ace and a 3. Hopefully that works or something else does.

Rudy is a liberal.

“I heard on the car today (Rush’s show) that next week Newt is going to debate John Kerry on the issue of global warming.”

On February 12, 2007, Giuliani said “I do believe there’s global warming, yes. The big question has always been how much of it is happening because of natural climate changes and how much of it is happening because of human intervention. The overwhelming number of scientists now believe that there is significant human cause.” He said the debate on the existence of global warming “is almost unnecessary ... because we should be dealing with pollution anyway.”

Peach, dear, Rudy sides with the leftists again, when will you get it?

“I know the urge is to fly the flag (I’ve had it and done it myself), but for the long haul, we might be better off against the dems if we tone it down against the Rudyites, and support the conservative nominees somewhat gently. Clearly Fred, or another real conservative will be the nominee, and I would hate to see Rudyites not vote for him to spite the conservatives here who didn’t like their candidate, and who they thought were mean to them, or something.”

That’s the thing. Quoting Rudy is, to his supporters, an “attack.”

The funny thing is, they accuse actual right wingers of threatening not to vote.

Indeed. I find it quite interesting to watch people who only support candidates who have no chance of winning.

I will never forget the "Katherine Harris" supporters here on FR that followed her off a cliff in Florida; knowing the entire time she was a loser. I hope we do not see another example of stupidity with the RuBots as we did with the KHBots down in Florida.

Which part of Katherine Harris was never the frontrunner vs. Rudy’s frontrunner status don’t you get?

An interesting side note- Thompson is waaaaaaay up at tradesports...from nowhere to # 2.

Fascinating to watch this all play out.

Except Fred Thompson doesn’t have the get-up-and-go that it takes to win an election. He wants to be DRAFTED. As one TV pundit said, “Fred Thompson will gladly sit in the Office of the POTUS, but he doesn’t want to RUN for that office. Not enough fire in the belly.

“...We know you’re a liberal...”

Oh, please! Is this the best you can do? I really think throwing around the word “liberal” is a losing proposition for you. We are ALL conservative and want smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation and more personal responsibility. Give it a rest!
