It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.
Here we go again. Conservative third party puts another Clinton in the White House.
Smart move.
If Fruity’s nominated there WILL be a 3rd party candidate, regardless of what faction of the social conservative movement it represents.
You need to face the facts that have been presented here for months, there are a whole bunch of Republicans that will never vote for Rooty!
All the pro gun Dem’s will go back to their default party because they lose any reason to switch their vote for the gun issue.
There is no way that moron could win. If he is nominated the race is over and RATS win!
It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.”
My take:
If we are not safe in the USA because of the terrorists who wish to take us back to the 7th century, then what difference does it make arguing about being Pro-life or not?
The terrorists won’t be allowing any such discussions. They want ALL of us dead, young/old rich/poor male/female short/tall thin/fat
They don’t care.
They have absolute no PRO-LIFE agenda in any part of their plans.
We are truly fiddling while Rome burns, IMO.
Give my a candidate who won’t put up with the BS from the radicals. One who recognizes trouble and works hard to eradicate it for good. Fred Thompson for President and Rudy for Homeland Security would suit me just fine. I think they would make a formidable pair. Get the woooosies out of the way and conduct business like this is really a war, because that is exactly what it is.
Idiotic or not, that is the lay of the land right now. If Rudy gets the nomination, there may not be a third party, but there will be a number of conservatives sitting out.
>>It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.<<
Yes, precisely.
“It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.”
Ditto.
If it is true that the GOP base is voting on ONE SINGLE ISSUE (abortion) then we deserve to lose.
I myself will vote for ANY Republican running against the Hildabeast.
According to the article: the former First Lady getting 46% of the vote, Giuliani with 30% and the third-party option picking up 14%. In head-to-head match-ups with Clinton, Giuliani is much more competitive.
Since 30 + 14 is only 44, it doesn't appear that Rudy can win even if there's no third party.
If Rudy had any class, he'd drop out of the race.
I disagree. Even if 1/3rd of the deserting pro-lifers decide to stay home and not vote at all and the others held their nose and voted for Rudy, Rudy still loses.
When you have 46% in the Hillary camp (very believable), the others are carving up 54% of the electorate. That means just a 9% bleedout and the GOP surely loses. Consider some of the 9% will be independents, libertarians, Bloombergers, Green Party and other fringe groups, the GOP has a very small room for error and any candidate who drives away 1/5th of the party base, on ANY issue, is killing any chance of winning the election.
“It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.”
So I take it that you would have no problem sacrificing your principles? Or, maybe you don’t have any...
Political rhetoric stated via a POTUS runner previously, "A giant sucking sound" has been given new meaning via a 3rd party in this millennium.
Oh, but don't you know that when the public hears about Duncan Hunter all will be saved for the Republicans?
The only proof that this shows is that the Republican Party continues to be stupid.
If they desert their conservative base (which they have) then I will not weep at their funeral.
They can get it right or go away.
We already have one liberal party, we don’t need another one.
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.
Exactly...he’ll be like Senator Joe Lieberman but in reverse. Lieberman was elected by lots of Republicans...
Actually it’s proof of both. Welcome to hell.
“It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.”
it’s ‘proof’ that some ‘pro-lifers’ are not pro-life. Else they wouldn’t put Hillary Clinton in charge of the future of the Supreme Court.
