Do you really believe that? If so, you don't understand the seriousness of the situation.
There will be no groundswell for a third party that can get organized, funded, populated and vote with unity by November 2008. Reality is reality.
The problem with this and all like statements is that it leads one to believe that the GOP leadership selects the candidate. It doesn't. The candidate is chosen by Republican voters at the polls. I have no idea who's going to actually be the guy, but if it is Guiliani it will be because Republican voters chose him in a primary election, not because some shadowy leadership gave him the nod.
In 2006 the socialists were able to exploit wedge issues to take control of congress.
In 2008 the trolls are out again trying to give the presidency to the Clintons.
Electing someone like Guiliani is not the same as voting for the socialist Clinton.
It's asinine to even say that.
- I understand where Dobson is coming from in refusing to sacrifice his religious beliefs over politics but it is important to remember that Giuliani is not running on an abortion platform of any sort. In fact, he has little choice, given the beliefs of a large number in his Party. Remember, that in Bush’s almost eight years in office he has not made an inch of progress on the issue - and he is as anti abortion as you’re likely to get these days.
No, I think that if elected Giuliani would not touch this issue with a barge pole. If anything, he will retain the status quo, unlike Hitlery, who will be meddling in the matter all the time so as to keep her pro abortion activists happy.
So it comes down to a choice between two pro abortionists, one of whom is likely to do nothing in the matter, while the other is likely to keep the issue on the front burner.
A real “Dobson’s choice”, right?
I wish Guiliani had not taken such a public stand on this matter, but I would still support him even though I don’t agree with him on this. I look at it like when Kennedy was elected President as the first Roman Catholic. Many protestants really feared to vote for him, afraid that the Papacy would gain undue influence in the country but nothing of the sort happened.
Dobson should realize that, in this instance and at this time, a passive president will be preferable to an activist president.
Rush Limbaugh constantly points out the true Conservative politics for the GOP, always win!!!
