I was at Da Cell last night when Buerhle threw his no-hitter. Incredible!
I attacked those whom you zotted in 2000.
Our tax dollars DO support embryonic stem cell research.

Ah. So, me and anyone who refuses to vote for someone who is morally and politically compromised, on the basis of our principles? I'll stand with them, thank you.
JimRob, some of us think the Republican Party has not been conservative for quite some time. GHWB was certainly no conservative. GWB is not a conservative, although he is pro-life. When we had a majority in congress, they did very little that was conservative.
About the only think in the Republican Party that is conservative is the rhetoric. Giuliani refuses to engage in the rhetoric, and in spite of the fact that I disagree with him on abortion and guns, I must admire his courage in refusing to pander the conservative activists in the party. The activists are in the minority, as we will see when this all plays out.
Either you do not have a handle on the pulse of the American people, or Zogby, Rasmussen, Gallup and the like don't. Because they all say Giuliani is quite a popular guy with the public.

The one thing I think you will find about Rudy is that, like Reagan, the criticism will flow off him like water off a duck. He was innoculated from criticism the day his city was devastated by the terrorists, and whosoever attacks him loses credibility themselves, in the collective minds of the public at large. That is an advantage the Republican Party cannot afford to ignore, especially given the current state of affairs.
This is no longer a conservative country, I am afraid, JimRob, just as California is no longer a conservative state.
If you want to be relevant, you take the best coalition you can get. Giuliani is the only guy who can get us to a majority in 08, and more and more Republicans (yes, conservatives like Steve Forbes and T. Boone Pickens as well) are seeing that.
I guess you'll not be posting photos of the president's day and holding inaugural balls after Rudy wins. You'll become more of a niche and less mainstream, but that may well be a good thing for conservatives in the long run.
As for me, I think he is going to win, and I'd rather have some influence over the guy than be on the outside looking in.
Uh huh.
Really? He just said that he was very happy with the SCOTUS outcome.

To my knowledge, you could not be more wrong. The MSM constantly claims that, but it is adult stem cell research that is funded.
Yes, it is; however, it’s something that doesn’t happen all that often and many Conservative presidents have nominated real clunkers.
That’s a damnable a lie. You are glossing over President Bush’s successes in banning partial birth abortion and other conservative pro-life, pro-family, pro-religion advances. Are you now supporting abortion and or downplaying a conservative pro-life president’s direct influence and successes in fighting for conservative pro family values in your sick ass liberal support of the abortionist pig Rudy Giuliani?
Okay.
People follow leaders. Leaders that condone or look the other way send just as strong a message as those who take a position and speak out against injustices. Rudie and his followers moral compass's are all over the place. "Oh well, it's a stupid ruling but what the heck, I'm really strong on spending."
Reagan didn't stop it.
GHWBush didn't stop it.
President G.W. didn't stop it entirely, but was prominent in getting partial birth abortions stopped; thankfully.
This is what I posted.
These are the facts.
Nowhere did I post that I was promoting abortion. And yes, I do see PBA as infanticide; have said so many times over on FR and in real life.
Please cancel my account.

See above. These are the already existing stem cell lines. President Bush did not allow for any new lines to be used. It is not my understanding that pro-lifers were disillusioned or that there was any loss of faith in him for making this difficult decision.
“I also am absolutely certain that many of the naysayers on this board will eventually come to appreciate him as much as the Rudybots already do”
Not ONE person who has been againsy Rudy has changed their mind about him. Not ONE. You are delusional!
Giulliani fully supports the SCOTUS decision on PBA and said so.

He knows which way the wind blows.
