But as I said, the most current polls show that Hillary is beating him. It's only going to be worse if he gets the nomination. Better for him to bow out and throw his support to a more conservative candidate.
If you really cared about conservatism, you’d at least be open to supporting the candidate most likely to defeat HC
Nope, sorry - can't support a candidate who doesn't see anything wrong with the legalized murder of 1 million babies a year and who wants taxpayer funding of same.
If YOU really cared about conservatism, you'd stop trying to foist a liberal on us and get behind a more conservative candidate.
Bloomberg is a less masculine version of Hillary. If anything, he was the Republican "perot", since he's take more votes from the Democrat.
Ron Paul is the RP from Texas in this race.
I'm sure that made sense in your mind before you typed it.
1. Hillary does not need Pro-life forces so they are expendible to her.
2. Guiliani Can’t win without pro-life voters UNLESS he replaces them with pro-abortion voters which is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
3. A pro-life based candidate pushed by religious conservatives simply can not win. They do not have the numbers. They MIGHT be able to raise the money but that money will eventually end up in the coffers of the respective charitable groups after the election.
the political reality is we have four top tier viable candidates. Guiliani, Romney, Thompson and bringing up the tail McCain.
McCain is just about done and will be out.
Guiliani is not going to be electable period on any number of formulas.
That leaves us with Romney and Thompson.
With months to the first primary.
“The truth is out there....if you weed through the lies from the Rudy911 campaign”
And then we should write an editor’s letter to get the facts out.
I just listened to Rudy’s spin on Hannity’s radio show saying he would pick judges like Scalia, Roberts, Alito, and I think he included Thomas.
But since when do politicians keep all of their campaign promises??
I’m afraid many voters will fall for this, even though Rudy said:
“Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them.”
He doesn’t have to go “hard pro life”, just more so than he is now... which is infinitely more than Guiliani. That’s all he needs to do.
And he will absolutely ease off the anti-war stuff, as to not alienate the disenfranchised pro-life conservatives he’ll be courting.
Assuming that the purpose of Pro-life party is to demonstrate that a pro-choice Republican can never be elected, then it looks like it is nearlty certain to be successful, with a good candidate.
Let me know when you’re ready to discuss the bridge sale.
This is ridiculous. Giuliani could promise to appoint J. Michael Luttig to the Supreme Court and it STILL wouldn’t be enough. Prepare yourself for President Hillary.
Well, there is Fred and he is pro life, so I dont think we will have to worry about Rudy.
Nonsense. I commented on the good progress by conservatives in getting a large tax cut thru, which has been extremely instrumental in growing our economy.
Your response? No elimination of the income tax...thus, it's not conservative.
This type of response is typical of idealogues who are found both on the left and right. Pie in the sky types don't get things done in the here and now.
There's plenty of them out there, but they're not really worth debating.
Right, all that money is coming from regular people. You betcha.
I’ll tell you what... I’ll let you borrow some of my tinfoil. Make yourself a pipe and knock yourself out.
Yes, for two reasons:
Most of the current polls show Hillary farther ahead of Rudy than just 2 points.
There are a number of social conservatives who just can't bring themselves to vote for someone who is so liberal on the social issues. I'm one of them.
Exactly...he’ll be like Senator Joe Lieberman but in reverse. Lieberman was elected by lots of Republicans...
Will it defeat Rudy in the general? Probably. It would probably ENSURE Hillary is the next president.
It will also ensure that the other 70+% of the party never forgets, and will start them down the path of forming a new majority...more easily done without social conservatives than with them.
The DOJ lawyers a person can trust are VERY few and VERY far between.
Guiliani is just a typical promise them anything former DOJ lawyer turned politician. I have met a few I could say are trustworthy but they left the DOJ to go into the PRIVATE BUSINESS/PRACTICE world.
Hillary Clinton is now running as “the incumbant” and she has all that advantage.
Also if we wanted to prevent fraud, we should have been watching the voting machines from day before yesterday. (so to speak)
Well, then you should have posted one of them rather than the one you posted which shows Hitlery only 2 points ahead with no third party.
Saying someone can't win when their only 2 point behind more than a year before an election is ridiculous.
Torie is now wideawake, although his account is active.
I find it hard to swallow that people in the GOP would be so stupid to support and nominate the liberal Giuliani when all evidence points to guaranteed disaster.
>>>I am rather disgusted the the attitudes of people who are so blinded by their hatred of Rudy that they obviously don't give a rat's patoot that their arrogance is in Hillary's favor.
I am rather disgusted with the attitudes of people who are so blinded by adulation and celebrity that they refuse to acknowledge that Rudy is nothing more than a RAT with an (R) next to his name.
>>>She's banking on the Useful Idiots of the Republican Party to push her over the top. Looks like she outsmarted them again.
Rudy is banking on the Useful Idiots of the Republican Party to support him based on his mythical celebrity legacy and not on his record of liberalism well founded in his public career.
