Rudy has stated his position on judges...

Rudy had a long record of appointing liberal judges and has praised the likes of Ginsburg. Rudy thinks that Presidents appoint judges that think like them (You want Scotuses that think like Rudy?). Rudy says he'll appoint "strict constructionist" judges (a description that was widely used to describe Blackmun--the author of Roe v. Wade and other terrible, leftist opinions). In short, Rudy will be an utter failure on judges.

I don't care what you say about Rudy, he totally "gets" the GWOT...

Really? That is why, in the past, he has used terrorist attacks to justify taking away rights of Americans? How about those Sanctuary Cities? How about recommending Bernard Kerik for top posts in Iraq and the DHS? You and I must have a different definition of "getting it".

ANY of the Republican candidates are 1000X better than ________! .... I would NEVER sit it out or vote third party in such an important election. I would think that the Rebubicans would have learned their lesson about that in ____!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many times have folks used the same argument to give us the likes of Schwarzenegger? How about we start electing folks that actually support the Republican platform? How about that idea, huh?

Always remember the old saying - the perfect is the enemy of the good. Rudy has also said that he would nominate judges similar to John Roberts and Sam Alito which would be fine with me! Other Republican POTUS have nominated jugdes that turned out to be pretty liberal in the end!

As mayor of one of the most liberal cities in America, Rudy had to govern as such. My whole point in responding to this thread was to say that I think Huckabee would be even worse because he is much more of a liberal than he appears to be. At least Rudy does not appear to be someone he is not. His drop in the polls has been correlated with the rise of Huckabee and that is what has me worried. Huckabee raised taxes in Arkansas and is willing to take away some of your rights as an American as well - even in the area of nutrition and how much you are allowed to weigh. IMHO, if we lose the WOT, we will lose the freedom that all of us cherish and all of those other issues become meaningless.

I'm afraid that we will just have to agree to disagree and pray that God will continue to bless America through this difficult time in our history.
