Can't be a Conservative if he endorsed Rudy Giuliani.

We all make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them. Compared to Romney, Guiliani IS a Conservative.

Compared to Romney, some say Teddy Kennedy was conservative.

“......Compared to Romney, Guiliani IS a Conservative.....”

Yeah, I always get amused how some Freepers think they are making some deep thinking analysis by bringing up endorsements from the past. All kinds of things can lead to an endorsement among politicians, purity of agreement NOT being one of them.

Besides, Rudy promised to appoint judges far more conservative than he lived personally and was very conservative on terror and regulations anyway . Not endorsing him here, just bringing up some points.

In so far as Romney's already in the race and is the one to beat, Giuliani would have to run to his right.

Last time, though, Romney got a lot of conservative support from people who saw Giuliani as too liberal.

See Ann Coulter's 2008 column, The Elephant in the Room.

Giuliani would probably have been a better candidate than McCain and he may have actually tried to win.

Rudy is a conservative? On FR? Give me a break. Frankly I can’t tell the difference twixt him and Myth, except Rudy looks better in a dress and pearls.

Only real conservative don’t get a break around here.

ROTFLMAO!

It wasn't a mistake though, Perry campaigned for Giuilani while Giuliani's law firm was representing a foreign company working with Perry's office to try and keep Perry's TTC alive. Perry's endorsement of Giuliani wasn't some kind of random thing.

I think this idea that it was random or an accident must have come from people who live outside of Texas, because people from Texas knew Giuliani and his law firm were working with Perry on the TTC before 2008 and not long after when it was finally killed.

A lot of people made the mistake of supporting Giuliani early on because of his stance on terrorism and national secuirty which was the number one issue at the time. I can forgive Perry for that. Perry is conservative on the issues that really matter - pro life, pro gun, pro tenth amendment, pro business, less government
