I don't know about you, but I doubt the Christian conservatives throughout the red state farm belt and especially down in the South are going to cotton to a liberal New York Yankee coming down to try to clean up crime by taking their guns and bringing abortion and gay unions (gay marriage) into their families, schools and churches.
"Ya know I am as ardently anti-Rudy as all you. But because I support Mitt, I have been removed from all your ping lists. Nice people you all are."
I never did that. I'll support any republican candidate that is not Giuliani or Hagel.
If you want on my ping list, just say so.
Excellent graphics.
Thanks for the post, Jim.
Religious voters must choose between Hillary Clinton and whoever is running against her.
Among the GOP candidates to date, the only one that instills a determination to carry on the WOT and/or confront a nuclear Iran is Rudy Giuliani.
I'm not the least bit worried about the government taking away guns, because there would be a civil war right here at home in such an event.
The 2nd Amendment is as safe as a woman's right to choose.
To demand a candidate pass a litmus test by the Religious Right is dangerous at this time.
The Islamic radical issue will grow to crisis stage with a nuclear Iran. We saw how the other Clinton negotiated with China and North Korea.
I know that there is still 2 years left for President Bush to deal with Iran, but the anti-war, treasonous democrats leave me pessimistic.
Where's your conservative who can win?
I don't see one.
Why can't we have a candidate that stands for a majority of conservative values, not just one or two? It's about a whole lot more than just the WOT or abortion.
the catch-22 that will arise there - is that the party will see that they can not win without them, but they also cannot win with ONLY them.
so what happens in the future? how do you cater to a base, that can't win you the Presidency on its own, but refuses to be part of a coalition that can?
its a recipe for being in the political wilderness for the next 20 years, which will bring the US into socialism and a whole list of other bad things.
Thank you much! : )
#98 - Well stated.
P.S. LOVE your Freeper name!
You wish me to be naughty so that you seem nice in way of comparison?
How Clintonesque.
bttt
There are times in life when one must take a stand, even if it means a potentially distasteful outcome. I will not be voting for a RINO, even if that means Hillary. Sorry, but I will sit home. I believe far greater damage could easily be done under a faux "Republican" administration than combating a known political enemy.
Can't you write a name in,,,we still use paper here..
He grabbed guns and led the fight to try and sue gun manufacterers out of business. Hard for any other liberal in either party to top his anti-Second Amendment "credentials."
When it becomes a "hate crime" for you or your preacher to speak out against the gay agenda or abortion, or for God to have no place whatsoever in your public life, then you may wish you had not allowed the gay/abortionist lobby to take over and had never allowed Rudy to register or take your guns.
Unfortunately, there are many FReepers who don't consider the murder of babies, the abandonment of six thousand years of Judeo-Christian culture and the denial of our Second Amendment rights to be evil.
No. Its simply an acknowledgement that today there are NO Democrats (at least where I live) that I could support in my wildest dreams.
LOL...ya think?
Thanks Greybeard.
It took a lot to finally put that to the keys.
If he's the nominee, me and mine will stay home and not vote.
Its just I think Rudy has the best chance to win in November.
I believe your wrong. Running rudy will split the GOP.
