If Rudy is nominated I’ll vote for him. He is a social moderate and a strong fiscal conservative and is solid on defense and foreign policy. His position on immigration has been excellent in the aftermath of 9-11.
The current president (who I voted for twice)is strong on defense issues and the war, naive about Russia and the border, says conservative things about social issues but governs on the left, sticking the Federal Government’s nose into all manner of things it does not belong in, and is a disaster on fiscal matters and the expansion of government.
Rudy, in my judgement, would govern far more conservatively than has Bush, and is so preferable to Hillary that the hysteria on FR about him vs. Hillary is laughable.
I had hoped that Thompson would be a strong contender, but he seems to lack any energy to engage in Retail politics like are needed here in Iowa and his stump appearances lack specificity and and excitement.
I like Romney’s positions but personally the guy gives me th willies. He’s just so perfect-he never seems to sweat!
I’ll probably caucus for Huckabee, but I know he is not going to be nominated. If Rudy wins the primaries and is nominated, I’ll vote for him-and more enthusiastically than I voted for bush in 2004.
Anyone who believes this ought then to be working hard for some Republican candidate besides Rudy.
NO!
Stop promoting liberals. Period.
If you don’t agree with the homo life style, you’re homophobic.
If you state your Christian beliefs, you’re anti-semitic.
If you don’t like uncontrolled illegal immigration, you’re a racist.
If you don’t like Giuliani for President, you’re Rudyphobic.
If you think for your self, you’re not a democrat.
If I hadn't read the thread I would have posted something very similar to what you wrote above. What you wrote is definitely worth repeating.
For those who want an example of how well Schwarzenegger is working out for California, checkout:
Mom' and 'Dad' banished by California
and
CA: Governor Signs SB 777 (New law will open female locker rooms to transgender men)
As I see it, those who support Rudy need to think long and hard about their support.
Mmmmmmm.........that pink spangled number of his with matching faux fur-trimmed wrap would do the trick, you think?
Don't Cut and Run, vote pro-life always.
I rather let Hillary win than have Rudy as President. That will show everyone that I mean business. Wheres the knife? I need to cut my nose off! That will show everyone! (sarcasm)
I don’t know. It is really hard to top that high kicking dance skin number :P. He looked way too proud in that shot of him sitting in the outfit at the table of that event.
Back to the example I posted: Do you think Schwarzenegger is working out well for conservatives in California?
The truth of the matter is he will push the same type of agenda that Hillary will if he is elected. He is a liberal in all but name, he will try to push strong gun control, national health care and all the other entitlement programs Hillary will push. The only hope we have if either one is elected is to get a strong CONSERVATIVE senate and house, notice I didn't say republican. We absolutely can't afford for either Rudy or Hillary to be elected POTUS.
Hmmmmmm.......might take a runoff between MacD and Mortimer Snerd.
Yeah-—you got a point there.
Rooty’s high-kicking in tights is a definite winner.
Like we say in the box,
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
This country is still suffering the repercussions of the Clinton presidency, from the changes in healthcare to the from-the-bench legislation in the appellate courts to the exponential proliferation of once taboo sex practices among teens. What Hellary will bring to the table, if given the chance, will make all of that seem like “the good old days”, as her husband ruled by poll numbers, but she has socialist agendas that she will pursue vociferously. The fallout will likely never be overcome.
As for “defending our principles”, that is exactly the kind of thinking that got us Bill Clinton (voting for Ross Perot?), and Nancy Pelosi. It has not done one iota of good for the Republican party, and allowing the Hildebeast into the White House likewise will not do any good for the GOP or the USA.
The power that we have as a voting bloc is to vote “our” people in, and then bombard them with phone calls and emails when issues we care about are at stake. We’ve done it many times before, and when the congresscritters know that their constituents are watching and expecting certain things, they usually will comply. The answer is vigilance, not handing Satan the reins so we can feel morally superior. Its a tremendous price to pay just to be able to say “I told you so!”.
Even more embarrasing though - Hellary as POTUS, and Bubba as “First Gentleman”. That’s just laughable (and sob-worthy).
Two can play the child-psychology game and be just as serious doing so!
Rudy is wrong on abortion but Rudy is no socialist.
Can you imagine Hillary’s first man and his cigars in the White House?
