Well, GWB is pushing an amnesty program for illegal aliens. Is he a conservative?
Dick Cheney accepts his gay daughter. Is he a conservative?
Crime, taxes (and the abortion rate) went down when Rudy was Mayor. Isn't that conservative?
Is Rudy the perfect conservative candidate? No. But as my uncle Ed Linn, who was a long-respected FReeper said when I asked him what he thought of GWB - "compared to who??"
But - I won't convince you of anything. The only question is, will those who support Rudy be allowed to post here.
“Dick Cheney accepts his gay daughter. Is he a conservative?”
Wow, you just went the “Cheney’s daugher is a lesbian” route ala John Edwards to defend rudy. Classy!
“Crime, taxes (and the abortion rate) went down when Rudy was Mayor. Isn’t that conservative?”
What did rudy do to reduce the abortion rate in new york?
Let me answer for you: NOTHING. There is no policy implemented by rudy that can be attributed to a declining abortion rate in NY during his time in office. But that doesn’t keep rudy from taking credit for it.
Your seeming willingness to attempt to equate these things to conservatism is just another example of creeping socialism into our society.
No, because GWB supports some form of amnesty for illegal aliens does not make it conservative. And no, Dick Cheney’s undying love for his child does not make the gay agenda conservative. If you think it does, you’ve gone over the edge.
Crime going down and lower taxes in NYC are great, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, gun control, asset forfeiture, illegal alien sanctuaries, liberalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc.
The only question is, will those who support Rudy be alowed to post here.
***That’s disingenuine. Obviously most rudybots have been allowed to stay. In a spring cleaning it would probably be the rude ones who would get the boot. Now, I personally think it’s rude to post false dilemmas & obfuscations in support of a socially liberal candidate on a socially conservative forum. If it were me, I’d post my standard false dilemma response to the false dilemma and if that person posts one more time without responding... bye bye. But it’s not up to me, it’s up to Jim.
It's not surprising that a person who would support Rudy and claim he is conservative would also POST a comment asking if rudy supporters would be allowed to POST.
It's like asking someone to raise their hand if they can't hear you.
