Some of my experience was within the last year when I tried to help out someone.
Where we differ is that I know if Ms. Clinton gets in the WH, the entire conservative agenda is finished because she will carry with her enough Senate and Reps to control all three -- WH, House, and Senate. If I can do anything to stop her from getting the WH, I will. She will appoint liberal judges and there will be nothing we can do about it. Another couple Republica Senators lose and we cannot even filibuster -- they will have the 60 votes to support their causes because of some of our moderates. Doesn't take a lot to do the math and see we have a razor thin group of Senators that will stand up and fight. Right now we have the WH to pressure some Senators who might go off the reservation so to speak but without the WH we are dead in the water.
Risking Ms. Clinton become President is not worth it to me. I put any social issues aside and will support the candidate I think can clean her clock in the debates and in the election while bringing in voters from all walks of life which we need desperately to win.
I was a George Allen supporter before the election and still would be if he had won. I was all set to become part of the Allen 08 campaign in OK. After Sen Allen lost, I looked around at who was running that could beat Ms. Clinton and after much research and a lot of thinking it came down to Rudy or McCain. After that it wasn't a hard choice. With Romney, he waffles on what he believes. McCain, I don't trust after campaign finance reform and his flipping on issues. You know what you get with Rudy like him or not. This election cycle got an early start and the other candidates cannot raise the kind of bucks that are necessary to win IMHO.
Been around politics for many years and have watched the landscape change. The one thing that stays constant is that an agenda that I support has no chance if a DemocRAT gets in office. My #1 issue is national defense and the WOT as our family has been around the Air Force for the past 30+ years and that issue is at top of my list followed by law and order, smaller government, less taxes, and appointment of strict constitutionalist judges. I am States Right's person and believe social issues belong back at the state level. The President does not have the authority to overturn Roe v. Wade. Unless we elect a super majority in the Congress, abortion legislation is dead. Everytime a state passes a law restricting abortion the court gets involved.
That's why when I support a candidate for President, abortion is not even close to the top of why I support them. Now if you ask me about my Rep or Senator, you will get a different answer. They vote on the law and I support pro-life candidates for Congress. I have heard Rudy speak in person more than once and he would never veto an anti-abortion law but he won't have to because the makeup of today's Senate and probably the next Senate makes getting any pro-life legislation out of the Congress nill to non-existent.
To me losing is not an option that I want to consider because in the end losing means the DemocRATs will control all three. When Bill Clinton took over in 2002, they had all three but times were different. We had David Boren, Sam Nunn and other reasonable Senators but we don't have that luxery today. We have the far left for the most part in charge right now -- socialist in some cases. Times have changed and with that change of the Dems going so far left in leadership, we have no choice IMHO but to support the Republican who can defeat Hillary with money, charisma, and support from Republican Conservatives like me who put the safety of our Nation over everything.
Now you know why I support Rudy.
So, does that mean you oppose Giuliani, on principle?
No...no...I swear ...It's real. You can even see Rudy's genitals in the picture. The Goose looks annoyed. Rudy looks...uh...uh.. predatory.
So both of you may now stop kissing each other and claiming that something is stated that it quite clearly is NOT!
Ah, so it's all about money.
No wonder the country's in the shape it's in.
I've seen no one claim that any of those liberals listed were there. You're hallucinating.
you may now stop kissing each other
Do didn't bother to read the post, did you? Why should you, when lying is so much easier and what you do best.
The STONEWALL Veterans' Association ("S.V.A.") is comprised of the actual, surviving, active veterans of the famous 1969 Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("GLBT") Stonewall Rebellion in Greenwich Village, New York, U.S.A.
What exactly would you make of the list of names that follow?
No, I guess not, if you would prefer to keep on kissing EV, go right ahead. LOL
I certainly wouldn't think they were there.
Do you think that members of the Daughters of the American Revolution were "there"?
By the way, what do you think of Giuliani's hero status among that particular group of virulent leftists?
Gee, EV, money, vis-a-vis a presidential campaign, really isn't something YOU want to bring up...is it?
