Name 1 thing Rudy has done to keep our nation secure. Provide evidence of one piece of legislation he has sponsored, or one act he signed, or something specific with references that his companies have done since 9/11 that secure our nation.
At one point, he was a federal prosecuter, and in that role you could say he was helping to keep our nation secure by going after the bad guys. But what has he done in the last 15 years or so?
That’s sad. It hurts to lose a dog.
I’ve never said that or anything like that. It is utterly inhoherent.
incoherent.
Everybody here knows you wouldn't recognize class if it bit you on the butt.
I understand the truck bombs, but why will we be dodging WalMarts? I don't understand, are they good or bad, and what is Rudy's position on Wal Mart?
The next election will establish what is to become of the U.S.A. The next primary will prove if the Conservatives are the Republican Party or just its right wing. I’m with you on this.
"moderating" is not the same as "pro-life". For example, Mitt Romney has recanted his pro-choice past and says he is pro-life. When you have a pro-choice record as strong as Giuliani's, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect him to actually say he is pro-life if he wants the pro-life vote.
Of course, I rather remember the same thing happening with Bush and freepers who supported him. You remember, he was a cokehead and all.
“When Reagan changed from a Democrat to a Republican and pro choice to pro life, he was embraced. When other Republicans do it, the perfect conservatives on FR call it pandering.”
Reagan said he didn’t leave the demcratic party, the party left him.
Meaning he had conservative ideals and the democrats had moved away from what he believed in, so he found a home with the GOP.
Rudy has liberal ideas by and large. He has for years, and he still has them. Trying to act like he is “home” in the GOP, or is some kind of conservative, is a joke.
Let's get a reality check here, folks.
We are in the 21st Century and no longer in the 19th Century when "the Party" selected the Presidential candidates in smoke-filled rooms.
No "Party" selects a Presidential candidate any more.
The selection is made by primary voters like you and me and all the Sheeple out there ...... mostly the Sheeple.
Sheeple are ignorant by nature or by choice. They were created that way. By sheer numbers, they have more political clout than we do.
We may hate that but that is the way it is.
We, on the other hand, should use our brains.
In this coming election, the combination of the liberal news media and the Democrats and, IMHO, George W. Bush's unwillingness or inability to be a Great Communicator or even a Mediocre Communicator has gotten the Sheeple spooked.
The Republican Presidential candidate the Sheeple pick might not be to our liking this time around.
Them's the breaks.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter got the Sheeple so spooked that they took a chance with Ronald Reagan.
In 2008, the Sheeple may be so spooked that they may take a chance with Hillary Clinton.
If the Sheeple pick a less than desirable Republican candidate to run against Hillary or Obama, the choice of people with brains will be to ensure that the greater of two evils is not elected or ensuring that the greater of two evils is elected by splitting the Republican vote as was done in 1992 when we ended up with 8 years of William Jefferson Clinton plus a Hillary with ambitious hopes for more Clinton years in the White House.
Come November, I will NOT split the Republican vote and I will NOT help Hillary or Obama become the next Commander-in-Chief.
I care more about the safety of America than I care about being pissed off at a "Republican Party" that has absolutely no control over who will be the Republican candidate for President.
Uh, I give you the NJ Governor's election in 2002, and Ollie North's Senate campaign. The moderates even tried to sink Reagan in 1980 when Anderson ran for President.
If we must set up a third party and run a Ronald Reagan type candidate, so be it.”
What do we have to lose? America is on it’s way to becoming a third world country the way things are going now.
I don’t have to explain to you why I am on any thread, bucko.
Entirely too sensible a position to be adopted by a lot of folks on this thread, but I support your position.
Why don't you link that very post, flash.
I'd love to see it.
And Howlin is sent in, wearing her Honk if you love Fred t-shirt, to run interference in the thread.
“Everybody here knows you wouldn’t recognize class if it bit you on the butt.”
Ah, I forgot, you seem to think you speak for the board.
