I’m not sure who Salzberger fears more, Rudy or Fred.

Sounds like a hit piece on both.

JulieAnnie’s ‘gun grabbing’ and pro-litigation bent makes this issue a sure loser for him with the base. Let’s hope liberal Rudy keeps responding anytimg anyone brings up the Second Amendment.

FredT respects the Constitution. Once he gets in ---- he'll garner the bulk of the support from Americans who support the 2nd amendment, gun owners in general and of course, the NRA vote. Which means a big voter block and huge contributions for Thompson.

Rooty is a liberal gun grabber and nothing he says can change that fact. He's always supported more gun control and a ban on assault weapons.

It's the end of the Rudy campaign.

While I generally like Rudy...due to his position on the jihad.

However, Fred just won the south, mountain west and much of of the mid-west with that comment. Still, Rudy has a lock on the Northeast and the west coast in the primary and these guys could be slugging it out on the floor of the convention.

It's be WONDERFUL and HEALTHY theatre. Good for the party and good for the country.

I'm certain they'll both stick to the issues and avoid ALL personal attacks.

I'm not impressed at all. Even a shut-in with a 6th grade education knows the guy from NY is an insider, business as usual leftist, masquerading as a Republican conservative.

The article does a good job of portraying him as the constitutionalist and conservative hero that many conservatives want him to be. I'm just not sure whether he's really that man. Sometimes, "conservative hero" just seems to be another of his acting roles.

Regardless of what he'll really do in office, the article is encouraging. If nothing else, I'm glad to see him taking shots at Giuliani. If the race becomes Thompson versus Romney, I'll feel better about the outcome regardless of the nominee. Of course, I'd still rather see Duncan Hunter win the nomination.

Mr. Giuliani was a strong proponent of gun control in his days as a federal prosecutor and later as mayor of New York. As mayor he called for a national system of gun licensing, and broke with many Republicans to back a ban on assault rifles.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I will never vote for Rudy Giuliani. Not ever.

Mr. Giuliani has been leading consistently in national polls of the Republican field.

Sure he has. No matter how many times they repeat this garbage, it won't come true: it ain't gonna be Julie vs. Hilly (the match-up that works best for them).

The second ammendment was written to help us identify America's traitors. Some think it has to do with individuals or state militias keeping and bearing arms. Not so.

Our founders were smart and tricky. They wrote it so that their descendants could, without any doubt, indentify the enemies of this great nation. I'm not a Mason, but I could have been a brick mason. My garden is plentiful, but I usually eat it all and have little use for Mason Jars. Masonry is pretty boring unless you're traveling on a cobblestone street, then it's bone-jarringly boring. But, let's face it, good streets are a foundation and our nation's foundation is no less so.

Each and every Judge, Politician, Bureaucrat, or Legislator that has ever gone against "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" is unAmerican and we owe it to ourselves and our posterity to rid the landscape of such vermin.

“The Constitution of the United States says that you have a personal right to carry arms, to have arms.” - Rudy Giuliani

If it has to do something with the Constitution of the United States, don't be shy about checking the appropriate sidebar, whatever it is, in this case frontpage.

I can't tell you all of the times that I see commentaries, whether masthead editorials, i.e. staff editorials without bylines, or regular OpEd, i.e. opinion/editorial, columns for a newspaper such as David Brooks for the NY Times which were not checked off for the editorial sidebar.

Many conservative and libertarian websites write excellent commentaries and sometimes frontpage or breaking news.

Those sidebars are there for a reason. Please use them when appropriate. I find that I can add these articles to sidebars by clicking on "TOPICS" after the article. Then you can enter those terms in lower case letters, and they will appear in the appropriate sidebar.

I’m for Hunter since Thompson hasn’t declared. That said, there are the people who cling to this idea that Guiliani is the only one who can beat hillary. Guiliani IS hillary. There are no differences except for one looks slightly better in a dress.

Guiliani’s time to beat hillary was during the senate race and he blew it. He doesn’t deserve another chance at a higher office.

Guiliani is not the conservatives choice. He’s been the media’s choice and that’s why better candidates like Hunter can’t get any attention.

Rudy & The Brady Bunch

I'm liking it a lot. Fred moves up in my estimation.

I've been disappointed more of the Republican candidates haven't gone after him his anti-gun policies and his history of consorting with and standing with so many enemies of the Second. Like being the only GOP supporter of the AWBan. Like being at the signing ceremony in the Rose Garden when Xlinton was celebrating it.

Those who live in New York in the real world????

Yea, real world. This extended campaigning season is actually great for exposing the real person. Guiliani, you $***!

He needs to get well defined position papers/speechs out there. To the extent that Rudy's his target, there's no shortage of issues Thompson can differentiate himself with, including gun control.

Fred is the best shot at a conservative winner we have.

I like Hunter and Huckabee too but they have no chance...so let’s all get behind the one conservative that can win.....Fred Thompson.

From what I’ve seen so far, Thompson looks like someone who’s not afraid of playing the publicity-wars game - and may even have the gumption to be pro-active rather than reactive.
