There's always this guy:

For all the hype, with me politically, he is DOA.
Uh, you can vote third party even if you're not registered independent. What you CAN'T do if you register independent (at least in most states) is vote in the Republican Primary. You need to do your homework.
The GOP will get what they deserve for not listening to the cries from their base. My vote is reserved for a true national security/border/immigration/fiscal/social Conservative, and that ain't McCain.
I know he was divorced, and I know his first marriage was a disaster. But I cannot find ANY corroboration anywhere of that fact, given by Reagan himself.
If he did, I would be very disappointed. And yes, it would change my opinion of him. Would not change his accomplishments, though.
There is also a difference, IMO, between being a married man with a family and running around in secret, and being separated, intending to divorce, and seeing other people.
"And isn't he pro-choice? I don't think I would vote for him."
"And that is the only criteria to not vote for him?"
*smack*smack*smack*
Pull yourself together man! It isn't that bad. :)
LOL Right now, I don't care who runs as long as we beat the Dems. I will support whomever the nominee is.
"We can all vote for the conservative of our choice in the primaries, but anyone here who would stay home on election day if Giuliani were to prevail has his head firmly planted where the sun don't shine."
And if any female in your family or friends were raped and became pregnant, what position would you take?
So do I.
In my mind's eye, I'd love to see a Cheney/Rummy ticket.
Unfortunately, Cheney won't run in '08.
Cobra, you argued that a few months ago and got stomped logically and emotionally. I thought you learned your lesson and I also made the assumption you changed your mind.
"And if any female in your family or friends were raped and became pregnant, what position would you take?"
Rape, incest, Life of the Mother.
Say "Hello!" to President Hillary!. I've already had it with Bush for free spending, and his stance on immigration. Anybody to the left of him can forget it. Not even the threat of the Hildebeest could get me to vote for McCain or Guiliani.
There's always this guy:
Maybe he was at one time, but from what I understand he is now a divorced and remarried "Catholic" (without an annulment). That is not a practicing Catholic.
Also, you cannot support an intrinsic evil like abortion and remain a Catholic in good standing.
So again, he has my prayers, but not my vote.
Dear T. Buzzard Trueblood,
LOL. Yes, there is alway Harry R.
However, we social conservatives learned something from Mr. Perot.
Certainly, the abandonment of many economic conservatives from President Bush, pere, for raising taxes, caused the election of Mr. Clinton, to our national harm.
Nonetheless, since that time, Republican candidates for the presidency have recognized that raising taxes is a "third rail" of Republican politics. Republicans who raise taxes can look forward to possible early retirement.
We social conservatives have learned the lesson, too.

That may be so, but we are far better off with a RINO in the presidency than a Hillary. For one thing, Rudy may not appoint another Scalia, but I don't think he would appoint another Ruth Bader Ginsburg either. Hillary sure would.
If it were not for RINOs, we would not have control of the Senate. You may like some conservative Democrats, but when it comes to organizing the Senate, they don't vote for our guys. Do you really think the conservative that may challenge Lincoln Chafee in the primary could really beat a D in Rhode Island?
We will never get everything we wish for, but winning beats standing on principle. As the old saying goes, you cut off your nose to spite your face.

Considering that Abortion rights are the law of the land, if you are a Catholic, with that view, you are eliminating practicing Catholics from public office. Is that your intention?
