As time goes on, I think you're right. Rudy's getting the nomination would confirm that abortion has lost the importance it had for the last few decades. I know I'll never vote for him, I'd rather have Hillary, which would give us back a strong Republican Congress in both houses in 2010.
Don't be so sure.. If Hilldog wins, and the dems hold the house and senate, then they will be in power during a crucial time, the 2010 census. Although drawing district lines is a State issue, the influence of the federal government in power has great influence over how the lines are drawn. Other issues would be potential judicial nominations, of which many are for life. An election is far more than one person, it is about a system and setting in place events that will last long beyond their term(s).
No matter how much I dislike Rudy, if the general comes around and it is him vs. Hilldog/Obama, I will vote Rudy. The alternative is unacceptable.
“As time goes on, I think you’re right. Rudy’s getting the nomination would confirm that abortion has lost the importance it had for the last few decades. I know I’ll never vote for him, I’d rather have Hillary, which would give us back a strong Republican Congress in both houses in 2010.”
I lack the ability to express my astonishment at the utter insanity reflected in the above sentence.
As well as three new supreme court justices for the Dem’s.
I thought the same way in ‘92. Bush did not stand for anything. So for the first time in my life(and last time) since 1972 I voted for the Dem for President. yes, we got a GOP congress in ‘94( as I thought). But, we got two lib SCOTUS justices too.
I misread the GOP when they nominated Mr ED in ‘96 so we lost. And then of course Bush wins in 2000 and we go right back to the future of 1988. and now we got HRC coming along in ‘08 and if we don't vote for Rudy we are going to get her for probably 8 years. And we lost the Republican Congress with very little to show for it.
The new Dem establishment will probably bring in 60,000,000 illegals, break up Rupert Murdoch and end talk radio. All because I voted for Clinton in ‘92. don’t make my mistake.
I could blame Dan Rather (the slime ball). I always thought the only reason 41 won in 92 was because he rallied the base by telling that bastard off face to face. Now we got 16 years of Clinton’s and 12 years of the Bushies. yuk! Dan I hope you are satisfied.
