If Rudy wins the Republican primary, then I'm voting either third party or write-in. I wish that I could take both of my votes for Bush back; I'm ashamed that I voted for him twice.
"It's a bit disingenuous for some on this forum to throw around the term "Republican In Name Only" when many of them aren't even "Republican In Name.""
SPLA-DOW!! The exact reason you will never hear me use the term "RINO".
Then you might as well vote for Hillary - you will only have yourself to blame for that !!!
Well said.
Rudy is strong enough (and I amaze myself saying this, b/c it wasn't long ago that I wasn't all that convinced about a Guiliani candidacy) even to pick a VP that is not the product of the dreaded "consensus." IOW, he has the political capital to go outside the box a little; he's not going to be a Calculator.
Can't ever imagine Giuliani getting a standing ovation at a major Republican event full of conservatives.
DITTOS
" Pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-gay marriage" You call these core values, but they are all really states rights issues. There are rightful federal issues.
Are you an actual member of the Republican Party?
You know, I read stuff like that and I actually get excited about a Rudy candidacy, and hopeful for the country if we obtained a Rudy presidency.
And golly, the contrast between him and MRS BILL CLINTON, for instance, is breath-taking.
MSM will do Hillary's bidding while remaining silent about her transgressions. The double standard is alive and well and besides it would be in bad taste to attack a woman.
You'll know well before primary voting time whether or not Duncan Hunter can get traction. If he can't, vote for Rudy then!
Amen!
He'll certainly bring out all the Dems.
With all due respect, methinks it is you who learned nothing in 2006.
Any American citizen who professes love of country and adherence to conservatism who would "rather have Hillary" under ANY circumstances is beyond the pale. Sorry.
The GOP would nominate Hitler if they thought he could win.
Absolutely, since my primary is not until after Super Tuesday. We have a year to get Duncan's name out there.
"Republicanism is a political philosophy, not a morality or theology."
The greatest Republican President of the last century would disagree with you that Republicanims is just about poliitics and not morality:
Hardly a day goes by that Im not toldsometimes in letters and sometimes by people I meetthat theyre praying for me. Its a warm but humbling feeling. Sometimes I answer when someone says that; I feel I have to say something. And I tell them that if they ever get a busy signal, its because Im in there ahead of them. I grew up in a home where I was taught to believe in intercessory prayer. I know its those prayers, and millions like them, that are building high and strong this cathedral of freedom that we call America; those prayers, and millions like them, that will always keep our country secure and make her a force for good in these too troubled times. And thats why as a nation we must embrace our faith, for as long as we endeavor to do goodand we must believe that will be alwayswe will find our strength, our hope, and our true happiness in prayer and in the Lords will. RONALD REAGAN
Will Rudy "endeavor to do good," when he won't even oppose infanticide, which is what PBA is?
I can only speak for myself. Rudy doesn't make me nervous. I just don't think he's representative of the Republican Party.
There hasn't been a single vote in a single primary.
Why are some so anxious to prematurely dump their principles? Is it you who are nervous, perhaps?
That's an unbecoming and not helpful response.
And BTW, how safe do you think the babies will be if some Quixotic effort to elect the "perfect conservative" actually elects MRS BILL CLINTON?
Cute. I would have applauded the guy too. That doesn't mean I want him to be my President.
