Now that’s what I’ve been trying to say. Great post!
To: KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle
Well, we would probably SURVIVE a Rudy Presidency.... I consider any of the Democrats (And John McCain) a knife to the throat, a gun to the head and a grenade with the pin pulled.
We should be able to do much better than Giuliani... But I’ll have to vote for him if he gets the nomination. I won’t like it; I’m so sick of having to vote for the ‘lesser of two evils’, but I’ll do it. I’ll definitely work against him in the primaries though.
Rudy is more of a slow poison than a knife to the throat IMHO

Right on. (Also trapped in liberal Seattle.)

Combined with a Dim congress and House, he could institute policies the would seriously damage the conservative way of life for years.

“To put it another way, some economic and national defense conservatives may be able to make the calculation that Rudy is their man and standard-bearer. Indeed, Giuliani has some claim to their loyalties based on his record.
But this is not an option for social conservatives. It would be a Faustian bargain without even the assurance of any quid pro quo. If they are shut out of the GOP, they are finished as a force in American politics. This is not a parliamentary democracy. No splinter party or rump organization, centered in traditional values, will have any influence on the nation’s two parties.”
“Faustian bargain”.. No thanks.
Good find.

"Rudy Giuliani could be the death knell of the Reagan Coalition,..."
Many of us are at an interesting stage in our lives. We'll only bother with keeping up on political matters as long as we believe that we have a chance of preserving or regaining our most valued freedoms.
I've watched the previous generation of men get away from following political events for the last 20-40 years of their lives. Sooner or later, most of us will scoff at politics and politicians as being all morally corrupt and overly officious for socialist special interest groups.

So, If Guiliani gets the nomination, Who ya gonna vote for? Hillary? Obama? Stay home and let Hillary or Obama win?
Let 2006 happen all over again?
I don’t see any third party potential candidates I’d want to vote for. Maybe you do.
Look, I don’t WANT Guiliani... We have to make sure he doesn’t win the primary... But if by some mischance he does, at least he won’t immediately surrender to the Jihadists.

Why have I never heard of a "Reagan Coalition" before
this author? And just how relevent is that to an even-more-stupid/hurry-up-microwave/MTV/Gen-X/Gen-Y generations that comprise the 2008 electorate?
While there's a chance that Rudy can "healthily" hang on into a second term as President, his Conservative running mate could be sling-shot into the following eight years.
Let's not even consider enduring fouror eightyears of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Don't make me come back to say, "I told you so"!

Why have I never heard of a "Reagan Coalition" before this author?The phrase "Reagan Coalition" has been around since 1980 -- over a quarter of a century, in other words -- and has been of common usage in conservative circles all that time. (Simply Googling the phrase comes up with 13,5000+ citations, alone.)
As to why you "have never heard of it" before now: I really couldn't say.

Were Giuliani to get the Republican nomination, I would support him.
Until then, I will fight like hell to keep him from being the nominee.

I agree with this article, and if Rino Rudy is nominated I will go third party. I can not ever vote for this liberal.

ALL:
Nominating Giuliani opens the door for other RINOs to lead the GOP in the future.
Stopping Giuliani today in the primaries cements the conservative dominance of the Republican Party. It sends a message to all RINOs that principles matter to the rank and file.

Principles matter. Electing RINO Rudy is not my idea of electing a Republican, it’s my idea of destroying the Republican Party.
God help us all, if Rudy or the Beast wins.
