Giuliani Strikes a Note With California GOP Testing the Waters, Former N.Y. Mayor Garners 4 Ovations

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10 -- Rudolph W. Giuliani came west to learn whether his brand of Republican politics has a chance among party members significantly more conservative than himself. By the time he had received a fourth standing ovation Saturday at the California Republican Party convention, the answer seemed clear.

Equating the U.S. fight against terrorism with the Civil War and the Cold War, Giuliani told about 750 of his party's faithful that failure in Iraq would turn that country into a "massive headquarters for terrorism."

"Having had a job where I didn't have any choice but to make a decision," the former mayor of New York said, "prepares you as best you can be prepared to be the president of the United States."

Bears repeating. Thanks.

You know I try to argue you fair, so I refer more to the waste of bandwidth part. Besides that, is it not factual?

If the forum owner is OK with it, and it's factually correct, what's the beef?

In fact, at conventions functions prior to the Giuliani speech, there were probably just as many stickers for Mitt Romney or Duncan Hunter as there were for Rudy.

Hmmmm. Does that mean we're going to have to delay the coronation of Rudy a few more days?

I dont know ask them. All I know is ive seen several folks that dont grace our threads (rudy or hunter) who state that they havent picked a candidate yet.
It still early, some folks just arent in rush i guess.

So tell me how Hunter advanced conservatism.

Abortion is still on-demand.
He voted for many of Bush's big-government programs.
He did nothing about the 20,000+ gun control laws in existence.
He supports strong border enforcement, but none other than Harry Reid did too back in 1993. So...instead of a fence just for CA, why couldn't he have hooked up with Reid and sealed the borders at the time?

I like Hunter, but he's a Congressman. He just has his work cut out for him. If by divine intervention he wins the GOP nomination then of course I'd support him (Unlike you schlocks who'll ball up and stay home if Rudy wins the nomination)

"Rudy supporters know about his social liberal past, yet we still support him."

At least you are honest enough to admit he is a liberal, unlike some of your liberal Rudybot friends. Seems you all are on the wrong forum promoting a liberal on a conservative board. Just saying.

All the MSM has been down on Rudy.




Thats why they falsely keep repeating that it's McCaine is in the lead. The idea of Rudy even running freaks them as badly as the it does the RudyHaters club.

Rudy has a network in Texas & the South has warmly received him.

Yeah,(to borrow a Nixonism:) "Rudy plays well in Raleigh." That wasn't because of the South's natural affinity to New Yawkers, it was because Rudy has done his homework and cultivated what counts in Dixie. I'd say his showing so far has exceeded expectations.

Are you saying that in a three horse race in Hunter's home turf that he is being outpolled 2 to 1 by Northeasterners?

Why keep posting it though? Who is it going to sway? We're all conservatives here. Those who support Rudy know all about his liberal past.

You think DU members are reading the chart and will suddenly become enlightened or something?

As for lurkers.

I lurked for about 3 years before I registered. you see things and learn things here on FR that you wont see on the MSM (including Duncan Hunter). I found it a good source of additional information.

not everyone has jumped on a candidates bandwagon yet.

You "like" Hunter. You LOVE Rudy. Rudy loves East Coast liberal positions. I don't. As long as he takes NARAL's money, Rudy is a babykiller. He is odious. Does that word mean anything to you?

Glad to have you aboard, although we registered her around the same time. Yeah, I lurked a long time too.
