Um. No. Conservatives don't vote for culture of death-supporting candidates.

I admit, I did not read this because it is preposterous on it’s face. Giuliani and Thompson sharing more than a very slim agreement on any Conservative issues. I think not.

The Times could instead have endorsed Romney, but the Times, like everyone else, presumably can’t really tell where Romney stands.

Yep. That's what happens when a candidate gets too adept with the weasel words.

And “blah, blah” as this writer makes his pitch for what he mistakenly thinks are confused conservative voters who will swim toward a leaky lifeboat. Mark me down as “No Sale”.

Sorry, no thanks.

This former FredHead agrees. No thanks, at this time.

If enough people above Rudy on the list are knocked out, I will become a proud Rudy supporter as of that date. But not yet. Not by a long shot.

I just voted for Thompson via absentee. I know, I know, but it made me feel better. As far as switching to Rudy, If I ever become a pro-war flaming liberal, I’ll think about it.

I don’t see how a conservative could ever vote for Giuliani.

“Culture of life:

ABC clip:

George Will: “Do you think Roe v Wade was good constitutional law?”

Rudy Giuliani: “Yes I believe, I believe it is.”

Cnn Clip:

Announcer: “Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports.”

Rudy Giuliani : “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing.”

Immigration

CNN clip:

Announcer: “Back in 1996, mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.”

Rudy Giuliani: “There isn’t a mayor or a public official in this country that’s more strongly pro immigrant than I am. Including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an anti-immigration legislation about two or three years ago.”

Gun control:

CNN clip

Rudy Giuliani: “I’m in favor of gun control”

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: “How about registration of all handguns?”

Rudy Giuliani: “You know I’m in favor of that. I’ve been on your show many times.”

Gay Rights:

CNN Clip:

Announcer: “As mayor he supported civil unions, and extending health and other benefits to gay couples.”

ABC Clip: “I supported domestic partnership legislation and signed it”

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: “So should gay people be openly allowed to serve?”

“I think people should be judged on the merits. And there should not be a specific focus on someone’s sexual orientation.”

First Amendment:

ABC Clip

Cokie Roberts: “Would you vote in the senate in favor of Mccain / Feingold?”

Rudy Giuliani: “Yes, I’m a big supporter of Mccain / Feingold. I have been for a long time.”

Party Loyalty:

ABC Clip:

Rudy Giuliani: “Frankly George, I’d like to run on all the lines. I’d like to run on the liberal line, the conservative line, I’d like to run on the democratic line if I could figure out how to do it.”

Conservative Values:

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: “Whether it’s gays in the military, gun control, campaign finance, late term abortion - you and Hillary Clinton are in sync on those issues.”

Rudy Giuliani: “Well then maybe the other side should stop the ‘He’s part of the vast right wing conspiracy’.”

ABC clip:

George Will: “Do you think Roe v Wade was good constitutional law?”

Rudy Giuliani: “Yes I believe, I believe it is.”

First Amendment:

ABC Clip

Cokie Roberts: “Would you vote in the senate in favor of Mccain / Feingold?”

Rudy Giuliani: “Yes, I’m a big supporter of Mccain / Feingold. I have been for a long time.”

I’m for Romney, but I could live with Rudy. The fact that Ted Olsen will be helping him to pick judges convinces me he’ll pick the right guys - all a president can do on the abortion issue.

All the Democrats would need to do would be to run that photo of Rudy in drag over and over, and Rudy would be toast. They’d turn him into a laughing-stock, and ridicule is the most difficult attack to counter.

I actually somewhat agree with the author....the most important issues to me are fiscal policy and security...and I would trust Rudy much more than the others in these areas just based on his past actions. If you accept him at his word about appointing strict constructionist judges (and we have to accept each of these candidates at their word about MULTIPLE issues), then despite his opinions about things like abortion, it really doesn’t matter.

I’m sorry, but after Thompson dropped I visited each candidates websites and have done extensive research...and I simply cannot find a horse to ride comfortably in this field. I abhor McCain and Huckster, and Romney leaves me unimpressed.
