Video: Will Giuliani drive social conservatives from the GOP?

Fox News ^ | November 24, 2007

[Kurt Evans]

(30-second ad followed by 4-minute segment)

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council talks about the Republican primaries.

[Mr. Mojo]

Nope, because he’s not going to win the nomination.

[Earthdweller]

Let’s be realist, the guy needs to replace Jay Leno, not be President.

[SoConPubbie]

Is the Pope Catholic?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Not only social conservatives, but small-l libertarians as well. Nobody likes an authoritarian.

Rudy's nominated = 3rd party

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep. If he gets it, I’M WALKIN’.

[tdewey10]

If Guiliani wins the nomination and y’all don’t support him or vote third party you might as well be voting for Hillary.

And yes she is much, much worse. Guiliani will pick conservative judges — given that the next president has at least two supreme court picks — that is huge.

[darkangel82]

No, he won’t.

[ARE SOLE]

No, millions of conservatives need to change their values so we can get the honor of being lead by this liberal New Yorker. The 9-11 millionaire can go to hell.

...just what we need. More touchy - feely - big goobermint “compassionate conservatism” from a gun grabbing fetus killing illegal invader “enabler”.

Thanks but no thanks.

[Earthdweller]

Realistic..

The condition of facing facts that are sometimes unpleasant.

[taxed2death]

“Guiliani will pick conservative judges”

Not based on his past record.

[SoConPubbie]

If Guiliani wins the nomination and y’all don’t support him or vote third party you might as well be voting for Hillary.

If we vote for Rudy, we vote for the destruction immediately of the conservative movement in the GOP and long-term destruction of the GOP itself.

Rudy is just a little to the right of Hillary and this has been explained over and over and over on FreeRepublic.

Conservatives are tired of having to choose between the lessor of two evils.

Where Rudy and Hillary are concerned, there is not much differentiation between the levels of evil.

[SoConPubbie]

... Guiliani will pick conservative judges ...

Not according to Rudy.

According to Rudy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has the same positive characteristics as Alito and Robert.

Also, according to Rudy, he can see Roe vs. Wade being upheld by his version of a strict constructionist.

In other words it all depends on your definition of "strict constructionist".

With respect to Rudy's definition, he apparently believes that someone can be a strict constructionish and believe Roe vs. Wade is good law.

Another Rudy BIG LIE exposed!

“If Guiliani wins the nomination and y’all don’t support him or vote third party you might as well be voting for Hillary.”

If you support Rudy, YOU might as well be supporting Hillary...

[Earthdweller]

You support Rudy, YOU might as well be supporting Hillary.

Bumper sticker!

[Darkwolf377]

Let's say, for the sake of argument, Rudy gets the nomination--why does that mean The End of Conservatism in the Republican Party?

We have a Republican president now who was BELOVED of religious conservatives especially--and most of what you read about him here is hate for him.

Before him, his father--no conservative he.

Before him RWR--the epitome of conservatism as we know it now.

Before him, Richard Nixon--anyone who thinks he was a conservative doesn't know the meaning of the word.

So why will one non-conservative again mean "the end of conservatism" in this party? Are we THAT weak that we can't argue the issues and make the case for our conservative values? We don't get our way, so we stomp off, tossing the election (and who knows how many more) to the democrats?

How will this benefit the conservative movement?

[Desron13]

"Will Giuliani drive social conservatives from the GOP?"

Thats simple. Yes, he will.

[JillValentine]

You forgot Jerry Ford. We survived him too.

>If we vote for Rudy, we vote for the destruction immediately of the conservative movement in the GOP and long-term destruction of the GOP itself.

Hmmm. I agree. In fact the battle for the future face of the republican party is being decided right now.
Do we want the face of the GOP to be Rudy tooty fresh and fruity, or a real conservative, ala Reagan?

Well, I believe that we all know the answer to that question, but what does it mean if and when Rudy does get nominated?
Does that not mean that we are already not relevant to the National party?
What do you think that we should do then?

I believe that there could be no greater catastrophe for America than to have hillary as president.

We have zero control, leverage, or input to her at all,and together with the likely makeup of the Congress after 08, I do believe that every single item on the Socialist agenda will become law.

After that, we will be in greater danger than that of becoming irrelevant.

Extinction is the word that comes to mind.
