Thanks, CDawg!
Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina
You are welcome.
Wouldn't THAT be convenient for those misguided folks who are openly campaigning for the most liberal Republican presidential candidate in history on a conservative forum?
Heck, why don't we open up forums for campaigning for Hillary and Obama too!? That would be more "fair" - right?
Maybe we could start a forum here for conservative bashing - which seems to be your particular bent ever since the start of the California governor's recall election. Would that work for you too? You could collect all of the anti-Duncan Hunter photoshops you churn out (you've posted some already and it is obvious that you're just getting warmed up in the conservative-bashing department) and plaster them all over the place. I'm sure you could come up with some really good ones to bash on Tancredo and Gilmore too. No conservative would be able to escape your derision.
Or maybe, just a thought, we could stick with the original plan here and promote conservatives and conservatism while exposing the liberals and doing damage to liberalism. On a site dedicated to promoting conservatives and conservatism, all candidates - Republican or otherwise - are not created equal. And when you're talking about a pro-abortionist, gun-grabbing, globalist, anti-first amendment, pro-radical gay agenda liberal like Giuliani, he's going to get what he deserves.
The reason posts like mine are inserted by myself and others into Rudy threads has been explained to you by myself and others. Similar factual posts attacking other liberals and their positions are inserted into posts about people like Hillary and Obama. No difference. We've done that for years here. But, suddenly, when it effects your favorite liberal, you get all whiny about it. And it really is whining. Most of the threads you're talking about are hundreds of posts in length - some are into the thousands. Two or three posts exposing Rudy's odius liberalism and history amount to less than 1% of most of those threads. So, quit whining, stop bashing the conservative candidates, knock off the attempts to demoralize the supporters of the conservative candidates, and try rooting for a conservative candidate for a change.
(I'll do the courteous thing foryou and ping the Freeper you mentioned by name.)
Glenn prognosticated: If Rudy (or any other Rino) gets the nomination, FreeRepublic will be his biggest supporter. I saw the transformation Robinson went through when Bush became the chosen one. I have no reason to believe it will be any different this time. Everyone should get it out of their systems now.
Most Rudy threads go into hundreds of posts. 2 or 3 of those posts may be repeats containing factual information designed to educate FReepers and lurkers about Rudy. Do the math and quit your whining.
Hear! Hear!
Did you read the post? Obviously not.
AC said he would be away from the keys for a time.
Thanks, SCP!
You are wasting my time. I know full well how an election campaign is conducted. Go argue your Rudy-rot somewhere else.
Actually, it is said in Post #1 that AC would be away from the keys. Sorry. So, did you read the thread or just drive by?
Maybe, just maybe, Jim Robinson and a number of previous "broken glass Republicans" are sick and tired of being taken for granted. Nominating a liberal like Giuliani and expecting us to hold our noses once again, this time for the most odious liberal GOP nominee in history, may just be too much. I know it is for me. I can't vote for him. I can't speak for Jim, but he just might not allow the GOP kingmakers to take him for granted anymore. If Giulian is the nominee, you will see a split in the Republican Party of historic proportions. From which, the GOP may never recover. Have you heard of the Whig Party? Yeah, kinda like that.
Needs to said again.. and hard questions answered..
The republican denial is massive..
Seems obvious to me.. but most republicans are oblivious.. even here(FR)..
Did you read mine either?
ALL RUDY DIATRIBES are just that - diatribes. Lots of problems with Rudy, and no viable alternatives proffered.
AC could have popped his preferred alternative in at the end of his post.
As to that, any of the Anti-Rudy crowd can do the same thing, but they generally don't.
Some people are talking about Hunter.
He can't raise the money, and winning a house seat isn't the same as winning a gubernatorial bid. Most districts are pretty heavily gerrymandered, and represent dukedoms more than districts.
If Hunter wants to run for President, he could run for governor in 2008, win, then run for the WH.
It's the only way he's going to be able to build the organization and the fund raising required to do the job.
Now prepare for the onslaught of Rutards who will dismiss all the evidence and enlessly repeat their misinformed mantra.
Duh, Roodi is tuff on terrer!
Uh, like Rooty will point strickt construction worker judges.
Da presdent aint got no sey bout aborshun and gun cuntrull.
Yure just a anapeesabul 100%er.
As long as people are convinced that the two must be the same, we will all continue to be disappointed and at contention with others we think we should be in constant agreement with.
As much as I would like to see a President of the United States act like a conservative; balance the budget, reduce government spending and government size; provide for our common defense, and promote our general well-being, I realize that life is a series of compromises.
As a result, I generally support the current President, even though he has exhibited no control over spending and I disagree with his treatment of our national security over the southern border.
I generally support Republicans in Congress, even though they made a complete mess of the homosexual predator situation by refusing to deal with a mess because of political correctness.
The point is, that while I would like to see a true conservative President, the only one I'm hearing about is Duncan Hunter, who most voters have not heard of. And even then, I don't know enough about him to be confident that he would act like a conservative in the White House.
So that leaves me with Republicans. And of all the people in the race, the one I like best is Rudy. Why? Because I think he would do the best job of getting the important things done. We can disagree about qualifications, philosophies, and track records, but I am most comfortable supporting a person I can agree with who appears to be electable.
Of course, a Guliani / Hunter ticket would work for me.
So the 9/11 attack on the WTC really didn't hit America, did it? Disgraceful.
Argue your Rudy-rot with someone else here, then.
