Rudy's nomination spells the end for the GOP - and another Clinton presidency!!!

I read a book, over the last week, by Patrick J. Buchanan. It was called “Death of the West.” It was, by my measure, the most honest and fact-based testament about the coming future. I am forever a fan and reader.

"A Rudy nomination would bring the culture war right down onto the floor of the Republican convention. For Rudy is not only pro-choice on abortion, he has supported affirmative action, favored amnesty for illegals, turned New York into a sanctuary city where the NYPD was forbidden to ask arrestees their immigration status, has championed gay rights, marched in gay pride parades"

Ron Paul:

--STRONGLY pro-life

--Favors massive increases in the coast guard, port security, and border security. Wants to deport those here illegally.

--Against affirmative action

--Voted to ammend Constitution defining marriage as between a man and woman.

--Wants dramatic reductions in government spending and taxation at home.

Let's get behind Ron Paul.

It is WAY too early for the media to be having him as the shoe-in GOP candidate. We WILL get someone who is acceptable. No one can be another Ronnie....but they can at least aspire to be and hold like values.

[Ronin]

Rudy has no chance of getting the nomination.

Rudy’s nomination would spell the end for Rudy if’n he’s a Roman Catholic. The pope and the powers that be are glacialy moving in the direction of enforcing a non-communion ban on apostate politicians who are pro-abortion.

I’m registered as an independent. If the GOP chooses Rudy as their candidate they can be certain they won’t be getting my vote. As Rudy supporters attempt to triangulate “moderate” votes that such a candidate might net them they better be sure to account for conservative and Christian voters such as myself who they will be losing.

For Reagan's party was a pro-life party. Life defined the man. Life defined the movement he led. It was Reagan who insisted that his speechwriters include mention of the life issue in every State of the Union. At one lunch with senior staff, Reagan choked up as he read a letter from a woman who said she daily thanked God she had not had an abortion 45 years before, as she had considered doing, as now the son she had borne was taking care of her in her old age.

Good lord. After all these year's, Pat Buchanan's finally written something sane, rational and true.

God bless the Law of Averages.

It’s a rare occasion when I find myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan. This is one of them.

If it becomes Rudys party then it is time for a new REAL conservative party.

After reading Fred Thompson’s legal intrepretation as well as Rudy Giuliani’s legal intrepretation, how are those intrepretations of abortion different? Giuliani has already defined the type of SC Justice he would nominate. And he hasn’t changed his own personal beliefs unlike some candidates. As far as I’m concerned William Kristol and his cabal of media pundits can go to hell along with McCain.

the beginning of the end of the Party of Ronald Reagan

Rudy is simply nationalizing Arnie's California campaign. Why is this so difficult for people to grasp? Or does Pat see it, but is still under deadline pressure to write something?

I mean, how difficult is it to realize what's happening? Why aren't we seeing columns inches devoted to this occurrence? Where is Spiff's chart outlining Rudy & the GOP? He should do one between Rudy & Arnie.

If you want to see what's in store for the GOP, look no further than California. With Florida now in the mix as well, Rudy is going to run straight up the middle and lock up the nomination in the big blue states over a span of a few weeks in early 2008.

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!

[trisham]

Wow. What’s Buchanan’s freeper name? Great analysis of the Giuliani candidacy by Pat.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

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?

[CharlesWayneCT]

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

[showme_the_Glory]

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

Unless something happens soon that requires Rootie to withdraw.
