I would support Giuliani because of his tough stance on the GWOT and the fact that he is a “law and order guy”. I have said on this forum that I would vote for McCain if he is the nominee, but I would have a hard time forgetting the “gang of 14” and CFR. Although I am a Christian, Huckabee is the person that I have now transferred my “least favorite candidate” feelings to. This man must not be allowed to win the nomination because I think that he is somewhat of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” who was not really conservative in his governing practices. The GOP can not afford to nominate a candidate who can not beat Hillary (or whomever the Democrat candidate is) and I believe that there is no way Huckabee could do so.

No question about it--and the best way to elect Hillary is to SPLIT the Party WIDE OPEN, and DEMORALIZE the base. No one does that better than Rudy. NO ONE.

Ref. the WOT....It's outrageous to think that Rudy is the only (or even the best) Republican to aggressively fight the WOT (Paul doesn't even count).

Exactly what would Rudy do different in the WOT than President Bush (or any other Republican)?

Push more gun control?

Sue gun manufacturers?

Expand sanctuary cities?

Encourage illegal immigration by telling illegals that they are not really illegal?

Encourage even more illegal immigration by publicly affirming continued citizenship for kids of illegals?

Allow gays to openly serve in the military?

Continue to publicly tell muslims and the world that Islam is a ‘great religion’ (like he did in the CNN debate)?

Make solid appointments to important positions like his recommendation to President Bush of Bernie Kerik to head Homeland Security?

Put emergency command centers in the most likely targets (like he did in NY)?

It's absolutely outrageous to think that we need a LIBERAL like Rudy to aggressively and successfully fight the WOT.

You're funny! You can't forget McCain and CFR/gang-of-14, but you can forget Rudy's position on guns, gays, abortion, misuse of public funds, appointment of liberal judges, and hiring a staff of "Yes-Rudy's" many of whom went to prison.

You "support Giuliani because of his tough stance on the GWOT" despite his total lack of experience. The man couldn't even acknowledge that he had a terrorist shooting up NYC from the Empire State Bldg, instead using the event to call for more gun control! His "consulting" business has largely been hocking questionable "security" products/services to the Government enriching himself and some questionable characters.

I don't like Huckabee or McCain, but I find your arguments totally illogical.

You left out McCain’s support of amnesty.
