Me too.
This is the clinton derangement syndrome. You’d rather have a TRAINED MONKEY running the country than Hillary Clinton?
I’d vote for Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, and probably over Al Gore. Maybe even John Kerry.
I think I’d go for Bill Richardson over Hillary, and I might go for Edwards over Hillary.
Focus on the PROBLEM. It’s not Hillary, it’s the republican party abandoning it’s principles in the attempt to hold power, and as a result losing both.
Power comes from a firm commitment to sound principles that resonate because they work.
Reagan won NOT by becoming what the country wanted, but by making conservatism WHAT the country wanted.
The possibility of Fred Thompson is that he might be able to convey the conservative message in a way that will again convince the american people to embrace what is right, and good, and proper — strong conservative values.
Don’t be a defeatist. Don’t run to the front of the mob and pretend you are leading them. You lead them to their death. Instead, illuminate the truth, show them the right path, lead the way.
If we choose Rudy, we will be betraying the country, by leading them in the wrong direction. To do so just for ephemeral power is wrong. Better to have Hillary, at least we will have done what we could to lead people in the right direction.
Say no to defeatism.
Say no to those who claim conservatism has no power, that people are too stupid to see what is right.
Say no to those who say we must settle for a pro-abortion candidate to stop another pro-abortion candidate.
Say no to those who say the american people have abandoned conservatism and we must get used to it.
Say no to those who would surrender without a fight.
Say no to a false compromise which leads the country in the wrong direction.
Say no to defeatism.
[But I would vote for a trained chimpanzee if it meant keeping Hillary out of the White House.]

On behalf of all trained clowns and chimps around the world, I thank you for voting for me. I will do a great job as your next President.
Rudy may be to my left on social issues, but he's no socialist. The people bashing him don't seem to be people who lived under Mayor Rudy. Believe it or not, conservatives do exist in New York City and, by 1999 (Rudy's second victory) they'd climbed on the bandwagon and voted for Rudy. Even Maggie Gallagher has said she'd vote for Rudy.
Duncan Hunter is unelectable (nobody outside of the most hardcore partisan has ever heard of him). Newt is unelectable (talk about an unsavory private life!). Fred Thompson has lymphoma, and that could keep him from running. Romney's religion means that even some Christian conservatives won't vote for him.
To win election, a candidate has to get votes from the Right and the Center (forget about the Left). Newt won't get centrists. Hunter won't get centrists. Romney won't get centrists. Rudy can. He's very good at building coalitions.
Me too. There are two imperatives in 2008. First, I believe there is nothing more important to the national security and sovereignty of the USA than keeping the Clintons out of the WH, regardless of who the GOP candidate is. Preventing the election of Obama is second, albeit very, very critical. I hope all of us here would be able to hold our noses and vote Rudy, or whomever, to forestall either the Clintons or Obama in the WH. It’s that big.
