But, liberal Republican will not only not empower conservatives, but will move the party to left.
A liberal Republican is much more likely to get liberal legislation passed than a liberal Democrat. Republicans are much more likely to resist liberal legislation pushed for by a Democrat than a Republican like Giuliani.
A liberal Republican President guarantees no conservative in the White House until 2016.
The election of Giuliani all but guarantees the GOP has no chance of taking back Congress for a decade. The party in the White House almost always loses seats in Congress over the course of a Presidency. That will be especially true of Giuliani reaches office and drives conservative southerners back to conservative Democrats in Congress. Meanwhile, a Hillary Clinton Presidency could result in Republicans gaining back Congress by 2010.
Voting for a liberal results in liberalism. If you too stupid to understand that, you deserve everything that will occur. I don't want to see people like you whine about it if Giuliani is unelectable or if he reaches office and betrays something you believe in. You've been warned of the consequences.
I'm not buying the story that Rudy is much of a liberal. Yeah, he's crossed up on abortion and gun control, but he won't be able to do anything to damage the country on those issues. Abortion can't get any worse, and even liberals are speaking up in favor of the 2nd amendment now.
The most important issue is what supreme court judges will be nominated in the next 8 years. For a fact Hillary will nominate Ruth Ginsberghs and Rudy would not.
Rudy derangement syndrome from Republicans is just as ugly as that from the Dems against Bush. Get a grip.
