So I again challenge you - show me where Guiliani has changed on abortion, guns or gays. Or do you agree with him that the GOP needs to change on those issues?

[JimFreedom]

Actually I didn't know that but I stand corrected!

[word_warrior_bob]

The fact that John McCain has 26% is highly upsetting, are you sure this wasn't a democrat poll?

It doesn't matter what Rudy thinks about guns, if there still is no agenda for gun control. I don't see that being on the table.

4 anti-gun bills have surfaced in congresws this past week.

Looking at the latest pols, America could care less these days. They certainly aren't making it a voting issue. Just look at all those Democrats that were elected in '06.

Rudy Giuliani is the favourite presidential candidate for...CNN.

Fixed!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Show yourself first. go the Rudy's web site. Don't you have the nerve?

[narses]

So we ought to choose based on polls? Then vote Hillary, right?

[Dark Skies]

Don't worry, John McCain will implode just like Howard Dean.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Go to Rudy's website. Proof enough.

Many of President Reagan's so-called failings as a conservative President can be blamed on the fact that the liberal dems were running the show in BOTH houses, PERIOD.

[RightWhale]

you would be most likely to support

It's way too soon. Party caucuses and convention and primary are next year, and we are still somewhat dazed from results of the recent election. Who knows who will emerge into public view by then.

[narses]

LOL, what 'nerve'? If you simply cannot recognize that a gun-grabbing NYC liberal, a thrice divorced faux-Catholic who supports murder on demand of the unborn is NEVER gonna get my vote, then you will remain dark. And since you have chosen to concede that your chosen candidate wants the GOP to change rather than would represent the ideals of the party, well, hold tight to him as he destructs. Me, I choose LIFE. Always.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

No, vote Giuliani. He leads Hillary nationaly by several points.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

You go ahead and vote for whom ever you like. I'll do the same.

Whats strange about the Rudy Haters is their pre 9/11 mindset.

Abortion will soon be decided by the states and will be legal in all the major population centers.

Guns...after Gore....third rail. Rudy will sidestep that one.

Thats all they talk about...nothing on the chaos on the border or the fiscal mess we are in or the Islamic nutcases....they are more scared of the "Gay Menace"

Very pre 9/11.

Cultural Warriors WILL lose in '08. Only a Centrist will, it's a political reality.

I am pretty much resigned that there will either be a RINO or a Marxist in the White House come 2009. A lot can change and I hope I am wrong. I think we need to focus more on getting back the House and Senate. That way a RINO president might at least be good at national defense and might also choose okay judges and won't be given any tempting gun control, tax and regulatory bills to sign. If we get a Marxist president we had better have a good Congress or all is lost. I see the dynamics like this (assuming no real conservative can be president this time):

A RINO president won't be able to do too much harm with a conservative Congress and may even move to the right on some issues -- conservatives more or less win. A RINO president would usually go along with a leftist Congress -- the left wins. A Marxist president will be hindered by a conservative Congress -- conservatives maintain the status quo if they are willing to fight. A Marxist president and the current leftist Congress will lead us to the fast-track towards communism -- the left gets everything and probably there will be no more free elections ever.

Conservatives should start laying the groundwork now on how to win back Congress -- I know this is easier said than done and the Republican leadership as as clueless as usual. The Presidency is important but secondary to having a conservative Congress, given the likely scenario that the next president will be a RINO or a Marxist and the very grave danger the country will face if Congress is leftist.

.......This election will be won by a democrat because ............... McCain will be the republican's Perot when he loses in the primaries and throws his final childish tantrum.I can see it coming down to that.

Pardon my editing. This is what I believe may very well happen!

[JimFreedom]

Now were having a conversation, LOL! Can you imagine an entire thread like that, my brain would go numb trying to be clever! Touche!
