Drinking Coffee  "That being said, if he continues with this insanity, he will surely get a true nightmare for president, one that will hand him his worst fears (3 more Ruth Ginsburgs?)."

I find myself in a rather odd position here, as I find Dobson generally to be a nut and I find myself defending him today. Let's be honest and admit that the real issue concerning the next President is about USSC judges, not Iraq, and let's analyze what you said above. 

1. If Hillary is President we will get more like Ginsburg for sure.  More Democrats will slip into office on her train-tails also.

2. If Rudy is elected what guarantee do we have he will appoint another Scalia?  The word of a politician?  If we look at his track record of appointing judges in New York it shows a very scary precedent unless I'm mistaken.

If as many people sit out the election as the article suggests, Rudy isn't going to win.  Even if he wins, he will still face a Democratic leadership in both houses of congress.  Does anyone think he can appoint a Scalia or Alito type to the court?  No serious person would believe that. So what would we gain with Rudy as President?  He will be forced to appoint someone that the left can live with and the Pro-life crowd can't.

Of course I want to state that I have absolutely no clue who would agree to a 3rd party candidacy, but let's thinks a bit.  Is there a Republican that satisfies the Pro Life crowd, the NRA crowd, the lower my taxes crowd and the Stop Illegals crowd?  And if there is, why isn't he running right now?

Therefore, option #3: Some yet unknown, 3rd party person that is Pro-Life wins.  Well, that's the proverbial mandate isn't it.

Let's face it. If Rudy wins the dems win. They may not have Hillary but they'll have a president with an R behind his name who espouses the same policies. A Rudy presidency would move the party and the country further left than a Hillary presidency because the only opposition would would come from within his own party. The left wouldn't oppose him when he does their bidding while satisfying country club republicans because he has an R after his name? RINO's have already set the precedent with Arnold and Bloomberg. How else could a cross-dressing, pro abortion, homo loving, gun grabbing, illegal alien apologist NY Lib, even be considered a front-runner in the Republican party? Seriously, no conservative would have dared to imagine this scenario 8 years ago. I don't necessarily agree with Dobson's one issue politics but I understand why he's trying to derail this train. If Rudy is our nominee the Dems can't lose.

Yes!

He is! Just because the enemedia will not acknowledge him doesn't mean he doesn't exist. See post #168 and check out this site as well.
