I was excited to find this new editorial on Tohnhall which is basically saying that Rudy's candidacy is now dead on arrival. Hopefully, more and more articles like this will be written and Giuliani's campaign will lose any claim to frontrunner status.

[Calpernia]

Of course it is an excellent editorial! It is from Kevin McCullough!

Bump!

[Calpernia]

The demise of Rudy, bump.

Rudy and his handlers had to know that abortion and gun control will be his biggest hurdles to clear if he is to win the GOP nomination. The fact that his answers on abortion have been so muddled boggles my mind. He had months to come up with clear and concise answers; what was he doing all that time?

As I see it, he must be either hopelessly out of touch with everything west of the East River, arrogant, stupid, or all of the above.

Where are all the rooty supporters? This place used to be over run with ‘em. The elite are just crazy to think they will gain any ground without the conservative base.Northeast nonsense.

clarify his position

Most candidates who are all over the map on their positions do the 're-inventing' [ala Kerry] and 're-introducing' [ala Gore] between the nomination and general election.

Rudy, and a few others (both parties) have already had to clarify their positions. Some are flipflopping around like a flounder on dry land.

Rudy is finding himself facing a new phenomena he had not previously had to face: The Internet and the availability of historical and immediate information.

The debate this week could start whittling down the field of wannabes.

frontrunner status

So who do you prefer as frontrunner?

Giuliani who abhors the Second Amendment or McCain who abhors the First Amendment?

What a choice. Select one of those and you determine which Amendment right you choose to lose.

[Thank goodness, it is still a long way to the first actual voting primaries. The upper tier pushed for years by the MSM may not even be on stage by the end of this year.]

His second pillar was his belief that our society "must always grant the woman" the "right to make the choice".

Ergo, everything Rooty has said about appointing 'strict constructionist judges' was a load of .... 'hooey'. As he surely wouldn't take a chance that one of his judges would tear down one of his pillars. It also means Rooty was lying through his teeth in the debate when he said it would be okay with him if SCOTUS overturned Roe.

On the other hand it also means he was 'series' as a heart attack when he praised Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg.

Rudy, you're a Mutt.
Go home and get your shine box.

His second pillar was his belief that our society "must always grant the woman" the "right to make the choice". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No one needs Roe vs Wade for that.

People seem to never mention that the medical technology of birth control medication and devices is so advanced IN FACT, that the abortion issue itself is simply a red herring now politically, socially and economically

Abortion should be outlawed unless performed pursuant to a court order in the most extreme circumstances ( multiple embryos with in vitro insemination, rape pregnancy, incest pregnancy)

Women (and men now)do have birth control choices, ante coitus.

I do not know why anti-abortion candidates do not make that point over and over.

Choice is a scientific fact.

I have heard the phrase “...rape, incest, and to save the mother’s life...” many times. The first two I understand. Could someone with medical knowledge explain to me what conditions require an abortion to save a mother’s life?

[Carry_Okie]

coupled with the increasing abilities to see a child survive to a healthy life outside the womb, earlier and earlier in the pregnancy,

Inasmuch as I oppose abortion, many low birth-weight babies have consequent health problems all through life. There is also indication that many have mental difficulties as well, possibly resulting from the pain of the many procedures they must undergo while in the NICU. My wife is currently researching procedures to mitigate that latter difficulty.

It’s so nice to wake up to good news in the morning.

Say what you will about Rudy on all other subjects - we all have a right to speak up; but what I heard today on Fox News Sunday about Rudy's mind set on the WOT was EXCELLENT. All other candidates please take note!

I have not decided on any one candidate, yet...my "dream team" is more of a fantasy team...Bauer (Jack) / Bolton (John) '08 ;-)

[goldstategop]

Rudy IS an honest liberal. But his stands set him far apart from our party's mainstream. I don't believe "electability" is the most important criterion for choosing our party's presidential nominee. The Democrats did that with Kerry and they fell short. I want our party's nominee to defend our philosophical principles and our party's platform. If we're not true to who we are - we deserve to have the American people repudiate us.

[ZULU]

Giuliani is a transparent liberal whose only goal is to get elected President to feed his ego and foster his liberal agenda.

Looking at his position on abortion, a person might be deluded into thinking Giuliani is a Libertarian.

But he is not. He is a liberal fascist.
