Giuliani Memo Suggests Strength Among Conservatives
Political Wire ^ | April 6, 2007

Posted on 04/06/2007 7:58:00 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

An internal Rudy Giuliani strategy memo "says conservative voters already know and are comfortable with the candidate. The March 22 memo, a copy of which was obtained by The State, quotes polls from Gallup and Newsweek that show Giuliani with a wide lead among self-described conservatives and regular churchgoers and a slim lead among those who say they attend church weekly."

Writes strategist Brent Seaborn: "There are, of course, some voters that will never vote for Mayor Giuliani, and we know that we will see polls tighten. But the 'when voters find out about Rudy’s record the sky will fall' notion is a myth."

All she needs is an (R) next to her name and I’m sure some here would support her.

I agree. The difference between the two parties is decreasing.

I wish it wasn’t that cut-and-dried, but it is.

You’re right.

Get taken over by Islamics AND Messicans or just Messicans.

Conservatives need to restore the two party system by forming their own party.

That would be a colossal blunder. Conservatives need to retake the Republican party, starting with the defeat of Rudy.

What is cut and dried is that the powers that be in neither party put the country and its peoples best interests first and haven’t for quite some time

Without question, true in the general sense...but Bush has, in his own imperfect way perhaps, put the country's and it's people's interest foremost. And for that he has become the most vilified public figure in the last 30 years.

If a country, a people, can no longer can discern its own interests; can no longer understand even what is required to preserve themselves and their way of life; can no longer sense the difference between demagoguery and statesmanship; and believes that abject surrender to the most virulant strain of human sociopathy that has arisen in the past century is the wisest and safest course of action, then there is precious little that can be done to preserve that people.

I was talking to a Sunni Muslim from Lebanon recently, and that’s exactly what he said about politicians and political parties in Lebanon.

we’d better win back Congress, too.

It’s always the conservative that gets blames for the failings of others in the party, it seems.. and keep in mind, the GOP has chosen to stay on its current direction on some key policies under its latest leadership.

If and when they don’t deliver which is all too likely with their track record of late in neither taking the fight to the dems and stopping this obsession with moderate mushiness and comprehensive immigration reform which alienates a lot more folks than it draws to the GOP, then watch the bloodbath here and who is wielding the axes and get the heck out of the way if you can is my advice.

The blunder in the Republican party has already occurred with socialists taking over the party and would be perpetuated by trying to hang onto conservative ideals that no longer exist.

"the 'when voters find out about Rudy’s record the sky will fall' notion is a myth."

Confident assertions of the course of a battle that is as yet unfought. Amounts to little more than whistling past the graveyard.

I wonder how Rudy does if Thompson enters the race?

That is at the very least debatable considering his weak stance to fight global terrorism at our own borders. Endorsing a "Guest Worker Program" is an open invitation to terrorists posing as illegal aliens to destroy our country. Anyone who describes the Minutemen as vigilantes for trying to defend our country by upholding our immigration laws certainly does not have the people's best interest at heart.

Except in a lesser sense, he has not been villified by the population for his border policy, he has been villified for defending his nation by fighting a pre-emptive, offensive war against his nation’s sworn-to-the-death enemies. His nation has become a nation that is infected deeply with a sense of guilt — and can never feel justified being anything other than a victim. And because of that, pre-emptive, offensive warfare — taking the battle to your enemy — is anethema to them. And it is because he has done so that he is villified.

"...quotes polls from Gallup and Newsweek that show Giuliani with a wide lead among self-described conservatives..."

The web page you linked to has advertisments for gay marriage, stop the seal hunts and Draft Gore.

If liberals understood how conservatives think they wouldn't be liberals.
