Its like when you smell the dinner mom’s making, then finally after like an hour you get to eat it. Food’s much better.

How so? Arnie's California strategy wasn't just about (informally) getting the GOP nomination - it was about winning the governorship.

There's a big huge bell curve out there - the vast majority of voters take up the middle. Straddle this segment, and one can afford to lose voters on either side.

The key is emotion - how to get dems to vote for the GOP. Arnie did it with passion aroused from the recall. Rudy will have to come up with a similar trick, otherwise he'll not only lose the right, but also the moderate left he's counting on to make up the difference.

Weird column considering how Pat has been agitating for a US, Presidential, and, Republiblican defeat on MSNBC for 5 years now.

He is being paid by propagandists who aid and abet our enemy everyday. And promote a far left takeover of government.

Reagan would be so proud, not!

Just remembered, Pat did call Hillary Reaganesqe after her debate, lol.

So he is worried that Rudy will get the nomination, and beat his Hillary?

Hilarious!

the contradiction between supporting "a woman's right to choose" and supporting justices who would abolish a woman's right to choose.

Rudy aside could someone please explain this to me? I always thought that Roe v Wade effectively required ALL states to make abortion legal. Its overturning would not make abortion ILLEGAL, rather it would allow the states to chose i.e. Being against R v W is actually being pro-choice. In other words, New Yorkers and Californicators would still have this right while Kansiacs and Texanators would probably not.

Is that wrong or does the press just simplify everything like we are all 5-year-olds?

After reading Fred Thompson’s legal intrepretation as well as Rudy Giuliani’s legal intrepretation, how are those intrepretations of abortion different?

Fred says Roe is bad law. Rudy has praised Roe.

Giuliani has already defined the type of SC Justice he would nominate.

He said he'd nominate strict constructionists. But twice he says a strict constructionist could uphold Roe as precedent. Which turns the concept on its ear.

Rudy is telling us that he's pro-abort. Loud and clear. You just don't want to hear it.

I’m kind of sorry all the rudy people got banned, because it would be fun to tell them all “we told you so”.

Mitt Romney, despite his 1st Quarter fundraising, is still mired in forth or fifth place (7% and 5th in the latest Marist poll) and had the revelation of his own/wife’s donation from their JOINT CHECKING ACCOUNT to the primary supporter of infanticide

In the interest of accuracy, the check was written by his wife, it was $150, it was in 1994, and it was to Planned Parenthood. He has since donated $15,000 to a pro-life organization.

They are easy to find ... all in one spot miserable little spot on the web. You could sign up and tell them that we told them so, and your post would probably last all of thirty seconds.

On the other hand, we could just say it here because they can't help but lurk. I have no doubt that "they" are still here. Hi guys!!!

“He has since donated $15,000 to a pro-life organization.”

Of course he has. He’s gotta pretend to be a pro-life conservative doesn’t he.

After years of being fervently and passionantly pro-infanticide, Mitt does the whopper of flip-flops and passes off the story of his “conversion” during the embryonic stem cell debate.

Utterly laughable.

So now when the revelation of his donation to Planned Parenthood comes out, he hides behind a woman’s skirt.

“MY WIFE DID IT!”

It’ll be interesting to find out if Mr. AND Mrs. Mittster took a tax deduction in 1995 on that contribution to Abortion, Inc.

Rudy's nomination spells the end for the GOP .....

Unless something happens soon that requires Rootie to withdraw.
