Nothing in this poll about gun control or protecting our own borders.
So if we don't nominate Rudy or McVain, there's no chance, eh?
I'm throwing in my backing for Paris Hilton. She's more famous than Rudy and McVain put together, and she's got plenty of money. /rino logic
If it comes down to Rudy vs. McCain, Rudy is 1000 times better than McCain.
Your opinion stands in complete disregard of Republican strategies for success over the last thirty years.
When the GOP stays right, they win. When they go left, they lose.
You don't draw Reagan Dems back to the GOP by chasing them deep into the Democratic party.
I don't see much of a difference between Hillary, McCain, or Guiliani. Please, enlighten me. What am I missing?
Vote for a liberal - you'll get liberalism.
Rightly or wrongly, people perceive what President Bush is doing as hard right conservatism. This is largely due to what the media is saying. Rightly or wrongly, the media has been chipping away at President Bush, saying he's a failure. Whoever the next candidate is, has to be a complete break with President Bush - furthermore, there is one thing that has been lost in the mists of time: Reagan campaigned with an optimistic view of the future, many on the right now campaign with a scowl. The latter will not work. Giuliani shows that he has the best understanding of this (so far).

One should need to look no further than "McCain-Feingold" in order to see why he should not be elected. The First Amendment is effectively dead, thanks to this ******* -- already he's shut up our local conservative radio talk show hosts when it comes to political races.
Read this, then come back. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who remembers BKO!

The primaries are a long way off. The GOP has to first correct its own course, and they are showing no signs of doing such. I see a lot of wrong lessons being learned from 2006. Which means we may well repeat the drubbing in 2008.
Giuliani is a Conservative when it comes to the things that count:
Strong on Defense
Strong on fighting the war on terror
Strong proponent of a Free Market Economy,/Pro Business, and low taxes
How he stands on gay rights and/or abortion does not bother me in the slightest.

Realize that there are millions of Republican voters who feel very differently about that.
And saying their views do not matter is NOT the way to win them over.
They should do the same poll in 3 months. After potential voters learn about all the baggage the two carry. Just say no to Rudy!
I know that this will bring the wrath of many anti-McCain Freepers, but McCain would be my candidate of choice if he were not so damned old.
Ok. That's Hillary.
Now tell me why banning the right to self defense, unfettered infanticide, homo "marriage", high taxes, and universal health care are something we should be supporting under McCain and Rudy.
Vote for a liberal - you'll get liberalism, whether it comes from a (D) or an (R). Liberalism is still liberalism.
Shouldn't we ignore the liberal presses choice for us and support a Conservative candidate instead?
He can't win without social conservatives. Social liberalism affects the country we live in too, you know, and is just as dangerous. The more the moral fabric breaks, the more social programs are needed to clean up the mess.
So what's the big deal. Of these who cares. They all are in the cartel & bought & paid for by the same elites. We're going to fight wars until there is no more money & put us on equal with the rest of the nations all the time the elites take more of the wealth from us.
I'm more concerned about their competing weaknesses.
