That is voting against but, in our system you vote for someone. If you vote third party it is neither a vote for Hillary nor the GOP it is a vote for....
And that is a fact? Facts please.
Giuliani is not the President that I want. I am Pro- Life, Pro Family, Pro-Free Speech, and Pro Second Amendment. I've not made any definite decisions on the 2008 run for President though Duncan Hunter and Newt Gingrich are the only two that in my choices right now. The Second Amendment is our Freedoms Guard so I'm really looking hard at who wants to be America's President.
I'll vote "r" but quite frankly don't see the so called front runners having a chance without a base.
Great article. You will only be served what you are willing to eat. Reject the chow and they'll change the menu.
Awesome, you nailed it on every point!
Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people... Exodus 18:21
Hey,,this is just going to the other extreme! I will vote for Rudy if the choice is between Rudy and a Democrat. It's that simple. I could never vote for a Hillary or an Edwards, or any Democrat for that matter. I do not see Rudy, if elected, attempting to destroy all of his Republican enemies. I do not see Rudy using the IRS to audit and destroy every conservative organization in America. I do not see Rudy attempting to overturn the constitution to stay in office for life! Rudy is a social liberal. I would rather fight in the political arena to stop a president from advancing left wing social agendas, while feeling safer from terrorists, than to fear both terrorists and a dictator-like president pledging to "take things from me!" If Hillary wins, we will long for the days of "social left wing agendas!"
There's a word for Rudy and his ilk: statists. And there's nothing more disgusting or more pathetic than those who are willing to stand up and applaud for that sort of thing.
The history of the last century doesn't augur well for those who applaud statists into office.
Very well said.
In the General, I blindly, and only once* reluctantly, pull for the "R" regardless of the name.
*Dole, '96.
Pro-Life, Pro-Traditional Marriage, Pro-Family, Pro-Second Amendment, and Pro-Free Speech
How each will falter further under a Democrat President House and Senate and potential to have several Supreme Court nominees....
I think most will realize this come election day no matter who the Republican candidate is ...or at least I can hope....
How are you missing the fact that Rudy's leftwing social agenda is identical to Hillary's?
If the GOP turns it back on the Conservative, I will turn my back on them.
Maybe these Rudy '08 people won't have as much of a problem with Hillary if the Republicans just nominate her. I'm sure Sean Hannity would start telling people she's really conservative and voted the right way on the WOT. With "conservative" leaders and commentators like these, who needs "liberals"?
Remember R = good and D = baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
"Why, it would be irresponsible to stay home or vote third party just because our issues are off the table - even all of our issues."
Its the duty of all Americans to get out and vote! Even if you vote third party. VOTE!
Rudy`s strategy is becoming clear. He will disagree with himself when necessary, obfuscate his liberal record as often as possible and generally employ rhetorical double-talk instead of offering firm answers on issues. That amounts to being an unprincipled person, with questionable integrity. Ready to make decisions based on political expediency. No thanks Rudy.
I will only vote for Rudy in the general election. I am as pure a conservative as one can get. Compared to Hillary,, it would be like voting between Hitler and Rudy. Or Mao and Rudy. I am not at all excited about Rudy. He is a lib. Case closed. I hope it does not come down to those two choices. But Hillary would be a complete disaster! She would be a monster unleashed. The first eight years of the Clinton administration would look like a warm up compared to what would come next. I personally do not think that she will be the nominee. I just can't believe that people really want another Clinton again.
I agree that if it's election day and my choices are Rudy and Hillary, I have to vote for Rudy (or whoever the Republican candidate is).
Babies won't be any worse off under Rudy than they are now but we ALL will be in a world of hurt, including babies, if Hillary is elected.
We should all try to get our personal choice nominated. But obviously we all don't agree on who that should be and therefore some of us are going to be disappointed. Never-the-less, whoever our nominee is, he/she will be better for the country than Hillary.
Once election day comes, we have to put country and our safety first. Be sure to vote and vote Republican, even if our nominee is not your favorite person in the world.
