“I also liked Rudy, and would have preferred him instead of McCain except for his position on some social issues like abortion. “
Many of his critics say the same thing, but he committed in definite terms to appoint conservative SC justices like Alito, Roberts, and Scalia. This should not have been an issue, yet the single-issue pseudo-cons blew the election for us by tearing the only viable candidate we had to pieces.
I have come around to the thinking that Giuliani, despite his flaws, was our best hope.
You go, Norm!
If we can’t get rid of double counted ballots from Democrat dominated precincts, let’s not pretend there’s anything like a Rule of Law.
“I have come around to the thinking that Giuliani, despite his flaws, was our best hope.”
He was, and the derision that he endured was almost criminal.
“We have met the enemy, and they is us.”
Norm's looking for a job, maybe you can lure him to Texas and then you can enjoy calling him weekly begging him not to raise taxes or begging him to allow us to drill for our own oil and build nuclear plants instead of tilting at windmills with Nancy Pelosi.
“as opposed to a conservative candidate who could actually win, like Rudy)”
I don’t think Rudy could have carried it. He had one mantra, ‘9/11’ and it was starting to get old. And apologizing for my blanking on history, but how many Mayors made it to the Presidency.
Rudy had more than 9/11. He was tough on crime, fiscally responsible, a demonstrated successful executive, etc. Regarding his status as mayor—how many mayors have enjoyed the national recognition that he has?
Tell you what. I'll GLADLY trade you my Senator, DICK Durbin, for "RINO" Norm Coleman. After all, according to you, there's NO DIFFERENCE between Norm and a socialist RAT, right? You can have the DICK and watch him vote every week for gun bans, illegal aliens, abortion on demand, gay rights, Hillarycare, and surrender to terrorists. I'll take Coleman over that ANY DAY.
What do you say? Put up or shut up.
And BTW, if Norm Coleman sides with the RATs all the time, perhaps you explain why the RATs share your fanatic hatred of him, are so eager to replace him with Franken, and constantly booed him when he was a Democrat? Seems you and DU have the same feelings about Coleman. Isn't that special?
I don't hate Norm, he's a friendly and nice guy. I welcomed Norm into the Republican Party. I voted for him in his run for the Minnesota Governorship and I donated and voted for Norm in his 2002 senate campaign and was very glad to see him elected.
I'm tired of supporting politicians, helping them get elected and then having them side with the Democrats. I held my nose and voted for Norm and McCain (Sarah Palin actually) in 2008 but that was the last election for me and the rinos. If Republicans run conservatives or strong Republicans, I'll happily vote for those individual candidates, but no more straight line Republican voting.
As far as the rat hatred, it's Norm, not me, who's trying to please and attract the Dems that will never vote for him. And BTW, the Dems didn't rush out to reelect Norm...
Boy, I didn't see that one coming.
