Rudy is maybe marginally more honest than Romney (at least a “Republican”, albeit it was Bloomingidiot, succeeded Rudy, so one can say he was more “successful” at passing off his office to an “R”), but the only thing that he’s a Conservative on is law & order (but frankly, any liberal could have a law & order city by simply allowing the police to do their jobs). But Rudy was an apologist for illegals, and that’s a no go, too. I think Rudy is being outright disingenuous claiming he’ll appoint Conservatives to the bench. I mean, let’s say you or I got elected President, would you appoint people to positions of authority that are 180 degrees away from what you believe in ? Of course not, and neither would I.
The diff between Rudy and Romney is that Rudy is still claiming to be a liberal but wanting to appoint Conservatives while Romney is lying about a conversion to Conservatism after years in politics of touting and voting for the opposite.
Presidential nomination contests in our party ought to be about parading our best and brightest and most successful Conservative leaders, instead, it’s about power-whoring and media ass-kissing liberal RINOs that are the absolute worst of what we have to offer and the bane of the Conservative movement in a battle of who has the biggest ego and who can tell whoppers about how Conservative they “really” are. I expect that bullcrap from rodents, not Republicans. It’s an insult to the legacy of Reagan.
well, isn’t it true that Rudy cut the growth of spending in New York along the same lines as Reagan did nationally? That is no small feat and is very conservative. And he did promote adoption. I believe he is not for abortion at all but is simply weak on it and not willing to fight the women vote on that. His guilt about that will cause him to promote life in anyway he can, including nominations to the supremes. I think you are sort of throwing the baby out with the bath water on Rudy...although I do aggree that Thompson is better, I will hope for much good and a victory if Rudy gets the nomination. I will be going for Thompson in the primaries.
