I don’t know if Jim Robinson picks a banjo, or handles snakes, but I have no doubt he would not be in agreement with your views on Rudy. He’s made it pretty clear in his posts that he is astounded that any Freeper could possibly support Rudy. It’s really mind boggling to think that anyone who considers themselves a conservative would support a liberal. Mind boggling!
Why would conservatives support Rudy?
Simple. Sometimes it makes sense to vote for a liberal like JFK or Truman to keep a McGovern, a Kerry, or a Dean out of power. When you’re being threatened by madmen who want to suicide themselves with nuclear bombs for religious reasons, it makes absolute sense.
If the Rudy-bashers had a more conservative candidate they supported that could defeat Hillary, then sign me up.
Duncan Hunter is liberal on economics, and generally is an unpleasant person. Fred Thompson doesn’t seem that serious about the entire campaigning business. McCain, well, is McCain, and Romney flipflops and panders.
If I had to switch support from Giuliani at this point, I’d pick Romney. I’m not totally convinced Romney can win. However, he can raise the money, has a large fortune of his own, which may help him overcome his deficits in the polls to the Dems. It is still risky — the polls show Obama and Clinton defeating Romney easily.
As a result, given the lack of serious argument above, I’m tentatively staying with Giuliani. If something develops— if Thompson jumps in and shows appeal with independents, or if Romney can persuade people to join his side—then maybe I’ll consider switching.
Spam away with the dorky images all you want. Let me know when you guys have a rational argument.
