Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

getting drunk (while holding a loaded weapon) and shooting your hunting partner in the face.

What the hell?! Are you trying to imply that Cheney was drunk when he had that accident?!? Disgusting.

[Zeroisanumber]

I’m sick of watching you Rooty Tooties feeling it necessary to pull everyone down to your level.

Huh?

I guess not much about this thread hit home with you, did it.

I've learned all sorts of things, most of them not all that pleasant. It's been a sad and sorry affair all around.

[Oliver Optic]

Careful boys. Last time three Southrons got to talking like this it turned into quite a mess. If anybody from the South Carolina legislature shows up with a general from Virginia, it's all over with.

That's funny. All the conservatives I know think this is a positive development...for conservatism, and for this site.

[Hildy]

You live in Alaska...you have no idea what you’re talking about.

[SittinYonder]

Would you believe I've seen an increase lately over here in Marietta

Honest to God, I'm telling you that y'all have a real problem. You've got Mexican gangs eating you up. My brother's in Cherokee, next door to you, and it's simmering under the surface there. Is your graffiti in Spanish?

[IrishRainy]

I am truly deeply sorry to read what appears to be your Opus from FR. I wish that weren't so.

I agree. I met Hildy at the MFJ on the first night at the hotel, and while we don't usually agree on some issues important to me (i.e., abortion), we do agree on others (for instance, the WOT). I'll miss your voice here...:(

[Zeroisanumber]

A big part of what makes a man a leader is where he's going. If he can get folks to follow him in the wrong direction, he's not a great leader.

Rudy's strong on the WoT, which I think is and should remain our national priority for the forseeable future. As for the rest, it'll be better than if the Dems had control of Congress and the Executive branch. At worst, it'll stay status quo.

[La Enchiladita]

But the state sneaks in and erodes the moral underpinnings that allow you to stand free. You pay a price. When the right to murder the unborn is considered a virtue, and the right to say Merry Christmas is considered a vice, something is wrong with that picture.

Preach on that, Sister!!

[jedward]

I suspect you haven’t been rabbit or pheasant hunting many times. Just a guess. No cool, but it happens.

I’ve been peppered and I’ve peppered others.

[EternalVigilance]

Huh?

Is that the Giuliani campaign's new slogan?

[Zeroisanumber]

What the hell?! Are you trying to imply that Cheney was drunk when he had that accident?!? Disgusting.

I've been a hunter for years Elyse, and hunters know quite well when and how accidents like that happen.

Hell, I remember the day it happened people were posting pictures of booze and making jokes about it.

[conservative in nyc]

Got any evidence that the VP was drinking before the accident?

Drinking? Yes:

Cheney told Fox he had had a beer at lunch, but the hunt did not begin until "sometime after 3 p.m."

Drunk? Absolutely none. One beer 3 or more hours before an accident shouldn't have any effect on any normal-sized person.

I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than get in a car with a Kennedy any day.

[ladyinred]

You have no idea if Cheney was drunk or not. This is just sickening, this thread is unbelievable to begin with, and then you say this?

[Zeroisanumber]

I suspect you haven’t been rabbit or pheasant hunting many times. Just a guess. No cool, but it happens.

I've been pheasant hunting every fall for the last 13 years. I've never had it happen and I've never come close, nor has anyone that I hunt with.

I’ve been peppered and I’ve peppered others.

*ouch*

Rudy's strong on the WoT

Lying campaign spin.

Fact is, Giuliani thumbed his nose at the law to protect hundreds of thousands of illegal foreign nationals who now reside in NYC. His response to terror attacks in NYC was to go after law abiding citizens and their guns.

[Elyse]

You are a typical Rudy supporter. You don’t care how low you have to stoop to try to bring down conservatives in your attempt to lift up a liberal. You are disgusting.

“A big part of what makes a man a leader is where he’s going. If he can get folks to follow him in the wrong direction, he’s not a great leader.”

I’d just like to disagree on that point. Case in point, if the direction is also quite obviously the wrong direction to the average mentality and the person is able to still bring them with him/her in the wrong directino...that person’s skills are actually superior. Hitler should easily come to mind.

the WoT, which I think is and should remain our national priority for the forseeable future

I gave Bush that pass in 2004, and he slapped me in the face with it.

Don't misunderstand, I remain a supporter of the President and am proud of the two votes I cast for him. But he squandered my first vote and only got my second vote because of the WOT trump card.

He gave me good judges, like he promised, but he also gave me Campaign Finance (should have vetoed it); No Child Left Behind; Prescription Drug Care; Marines in Prison and al Sadr ruling the roost; etc. etc. etc.

For me, no candidate after Bush gets a pass on everything else because of the WOT.

Tancredo; Hunter; Huckabee ... any number of the candidates or possible candidates can fight the WOT. Giuliani certainly doesn't have a lock on that issue.

You really shouldn't hang out at DU.
