Bush is not running and inadequate candidates are still inadequate

Grovel? where do you get that impression. You all are acting like liberals. Slandering anyone who has a different tactic in what is plainly shaping up to be a serious loss.
I have been a serious pro lifer for 35 years. Go ahead and look at My tons of posts. I am a staunch philosophical Christian. I do not change my beliefs. But what is it you plan on doing? If it is Hillary, I believe she will do so much damage that we as a people will never recover. Now with Giuliani, there is a chance we may. It is that simple.

...but I suspect that he would have concluded that the benefits of low tariffs are worth the price of having these cumbersome agreements.

NO. We have his actual example. Insisting on fair agreements with Japan as one example. Putting tariffs up to protect Harley Davidson, requiring domestic content requirements of the automakers, etc.

I agree with Milton Friedman - we don’t need any agreement to lower tariffs, we can do so unilaterally.

To which Reagan, who had appointed him as chair of his Council of Economic Advisers, respectfully declined to implement, because he recognized more astutely than Uncle Miltie, that we needed to engage the foreign "trading partners" to not only eliminate the overt barriers to our productive exports, but the non-tariff barriers as well.

To that end, we needed leverage. Those without reciprocal barriers have no leverage. As Bush has proved over, and over, and over and over and over and over again with the Chicoms. They laugh themselves silly when he puffs up his chest and says they are doing wrong.

They call his bluff every single time. He will not betray his import lobby backers, and defend the country. They know it. He knows it. And I am willing to bet YOU KNOW IT TOO.

And there is nothing "conservative" about him or what is being passed off as Free trade...when it isn't. It is phoney. Just like the Democrat's phoney soldiers.

You may very well believe that there is nothing worse than President Rodham in your future, but I would suggest that having no party and no choice, just one big Commie party filled with the Socialists, Democrats, once-were-RINOs, is a lot more frightening to many of us.

Can you overstate in any more? Your hysteria is frightening to me. And Sir/Ms I am not joking.

Sorta reminds one of the democRATS who are so blinded by their hatred of Pres. Bush that they'd rather see us defeated by our enemies.

Methinks you just described yourself to a TTTTTTTT. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the enemy. Until people attempt to unite in any way to defeat her, we are talking 8 years of the war lost in Iraq and the war against liberals lost at home.

Well, if people want a candidate that has a great chance of being elected, SUPPORT DUNCAN HUNTER. Get his message out.

You will be responsible for the wicked woman from Arkansas ....You are a fool.

Then recall you start out by saying THIS in practically the same breath:

No, He is probably my last choice in the current field.

So, in view of that "last choice" you should be conducting yourself rather differently in this discussion. Recognize that NOW is the time to evict him from the nomination process, clearing the decks for a better choice.

You should instead be advocating your first choice. And then if you do defend Giuliani as a "last choice" it should be a hell of a lot more respectful of the principled rejections of him. That is, if you were serious about trying to persuade anyone.

At the current rate, to the extent you are persuading anybody, it is more likely you are persuading us against your views. You either aren't legitimate now (assuming you once were) or are now simply irrational in terror. Manuevered easily in a liberal shell game.

As a Christian, you should understand this from Matthew 11:

Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

Who are you wishing to emulate? Where is your faith?

God Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; The courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

By the grace of God go all of us if Hillary Clinton is elected because the Republicans didn't know the difference.

I can wish for what won’t happen or make the best choice of available options.

Your defeatest attitude is based on the false assumption the answer is to give up by voting for someone who will only perpetuate the very socialist government you supposedly oppose. That will only beget more socialism. No wonder the GOP has become the Defacto socialist party.

Vote Third. It's the only way to be stand up and be counted.

Voting for someone other than R or D will be voting for a second party candidate because the increasingly socialist GOP and socialist Democrats are essentially one party ideologically.

Your hysteria is frightening to me.

Overstatements by him? Haw. How about getting frightened about the reality, instead of your derogatory attacks on FREEPERS. Who evidence the majority anti-communist views of long-standing Republican Conservatives. Do you have even a clue how large the Communist internal menace has become right under your nose? The fall of the Soviet Union (temporarily) has not dissuaded their internal subversion efforts one wit.

Did you ever read this? Note how much of it still is under constant agitation and advance.

Communist Goals (1963)

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament of the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

"..everything north of the Mason-Dixon will go to Rudy in the primaries...along with most of the mid-west."

How much does Rudy pay you?

Do you sincerely beleive that?

Here's my prediction:

If Rudy is the Republican nominee, it will be a dummycrat landslide in '08.

You can’t help but throw in another slam, can ya?

Look within and ask yourself why you are defending a liberal when other candidates would clearly be superior.

All the more reason to get behind a candidate OTHER than Rudy.
Nominate Rudy, Hillary would win.

Pollsters trying to stir up and create news so they can get their name in the papers, on the media. The MSM does not really like Rasmussen. How else can he make news?

Never fear, calcowgirl, Sounds like she is an AA kind of person.

I think I heard that on Young and the Restless 20 years ago. Your typical Rooty supporter. Its like this “ Save me Rooty, my principles have long disappeared. Only YOU Rooty, can keep me from the burkha by sending out those social conservatives that you so despise to fight the WOT, so that people like me, living in my gated community, can continue to shop at the finest stores!

gag me kind of thing.

LOL!

I am not defending Rudy.... Duncan Hunter is my choice. I am trying to be realistic — and realistic tells me, that if Rudy gets the nomination and runs against Hillary Clinton, I will hold my nose and vote for him.

Rudy will have this nomination locked up by Feb...Thompson might win a few southern states, but everything west of the rockies...and everything north of the Mason-Dixon will go to Rudy in the primaries...along with most of the mid-west.

You may be correct about the rust belt and the left coast, but Giuliani doesn't stand a chance in the South, the Midwest, The Rocky Mountain West, or the Desert Southwest. That is he total composition of the Republican stronghold.

If Giuliani is the nominee we will lose, and lose big time!

Well on the issue of trade,we just disagree.
But on the issue of Reagan, there is no disagreement - he was a great man and I miss his leadership.

As with most Rudophiles, you are incapable of admitting you’re wrong, and unable to answer a direct question.

Admit it, I busted you with the question. You would not support that candidate, even if they supported Free Trade, tax cuts, and the War in Iraq. Why? Because there are certain lines you will not cross, certain principles you will not sacrifice for the GOP - even if the Democrat is worse on 90% of the other issues.

So stop telling us to sacrifice what we believe in for the greater good of the party. We won’t. If the GOP nominates a Liberal, then DAMN the GOP! I DO NOT WANT THEM TO WIN WITH RUDY911 AS THE NOMINEE!!!!!!!

And for the last time - it’s not JUST about his rabid Pro-Abortion activism. The list is nearly endless on why Rudy911 is a nightmare and unacceptable in any contest.

If you wouldn't vote for the Pro-Free-Trade, Pro-Tax-Cuts, Pro-Iraq-War, Pro-Traditional-Marriage, Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Constructionist-Judges Anti-Semite who sides with the Palestinians over Israel and supports the idea of it being a Muslim state, then you know how we feel. Whether the candidate feels Jews are lesser beings, or the unborn are lesser beings, they would be UNACCEPTABLE to me in either case. In BOTH cases I would revolt from this party. Both issues are TANTAMOUNT to me, I will not sacrifice either.
