JERSEY GOP'S RUDY RULES (liberals rig Feb 5 primary for Rooty)

NY POST ^ | June 2, 2007 | Robert D Novak

[JerseyHighlander]

The experiment of a democratic republic has about completely failed in NJ. Several of the most populous counties don’t have a Republican party organization worth talking about. Worse yet, the swing counties have a string of corrupt Pubbie politicos all under investigation or indictment.

Considering if the amnesty bill is passed, NJ will NEVER again vote for a Republican in a national election, I really chalk this up to pissing in the wind. Even solidly Republican suburban districts would turn Democrat if the amnesty bill is passed because of the large number of immigrants in the few urban centers in those districts.

“North-easterners are so excited ... that they don’t care that their candidate is a RINO...”

Well, some of us do ... I agree that Rudy is a RINO, and I hope he is unable to gain the GOP nomination. Nevertheless, he is a Republican, of the NorthEast variety: definitely NOT a conservative. Very few NorthEast, or even NYC, Republicans would ever claim that Rudy is conservative -— only that he holds a few “more conservative than liberal” positions.

I lived in Brooklyn when he was still mayor. There isn’t any way I’d vote for him. Mine is going to Duncan Hunter.

If Giuliani doesn’t believe he can sweep the delegates in NJ without changing the rules he’s got big problems. That is very good news.

N-i-c-e take, garv.

Rooty's running scared......he's downright desperate. The liberal NE looks good for stinkin' RINO tactics like rigging a primary.

He's gotta make a score somewhere, cause RINO Rooty sure isn't gonna do it in the Midwest and the South.

"Please let me look good in that hellhole New Jersey."

You gotta figure in NJ Sen Menendez and his cadres’ ability to register illegals as they cross the border-—AND getting huge campaign contributions from drug dealers who are illegally registered to vote.

(Asked of Republicans and independents who lean to the Republican Party) I'm going to read a list of people who may be running in the Republican primary for president in the next election. After I read all the names, please tell me which of those candidates you would be most likely to support for the Republican nomination for President in the year 2008, or if you would support someone else.

After tonight’s debate, Rudy, Fred, Mitt. Hunter for SECDEF or SECSTATE if a Pub wins the election. My first choice would be a Rudy-Fred ticket.
