Is Driving Rinos out of the GOP Good for the Country? Thought-Provoking Must-Read for Rudy-Haters.

Every time I read someone say the Republicans under George Bush have been advancing the culture of death,

Who on earth said that?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I find it interesting how tender some are on this thread about being in Giuliani's employ. Things that make a guy go "hmmmm..."

I get the same feeling about you when Alan Keyes gets mentioned even in passing.

[Howlin]

Now that might have set him off.........LOL.

"I didn't have any idea who he is but anyone that tells me I want to marry Rudy along with other snide remarks doesn't deserve my respect. Been around the AF for almost 30 years and trust me I know some really good generals/colonels and some not so good. BTW, I never posted to him on this thread and the comments came out of blue."

I don't know him personally, though we both worked with some of the same people (he was at least 10-15 years ahead of me, so to speak, while on active duty).

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've 'stepped into it' coming to defense of a senior officer simply because of his rank. Must have missed his initial post to you. All I can say is 'sorry'!!! :>(

[EternalVigilance]

Well, unlike some here, my past employ by the good Doctor has never been kept a secret.

[Miss Marple]

Isn't Ted Olson supporting Rudy? I find that interesting...I suppose EV considers him a political hack, too.

[Rex Anderson]

I am so glad you said that!

So, that pretty much leaves Duncan Hunter, and Jim Gilmore has also entered to race. Very Hunter-like, but better in front of cameras and audiences, and handles the media well.

See, now that there are no kooky 3rd party guys, we could actually get somewhere! The 3rd party folks here will be deeply saddened, though.

[Carolinamom]

The remark about Guilani's staff being overpaid reeked of envy imo.

[Howlin]

Well, well.

I suppose those White Evangelicals are all traitorous evil pro-abortion gun grabbers, huh?

[Al Simmons]

The 'Good Doctor' is a first-rate demagogue (saw him at John Haggee's church in San Antonio years ago), and a third-rate politician.

And his inability to hide the fact that he has an ego the size of the Empire State Building prevents his ever being elected to ANY position....

[EternalVigilance]

BS

[nopardons]

You aren't nearly as "clever" nor as "witty" as you imagine yourself to be; nor are you as politically as savvy as you hope others will think you are.

[Rex Anderson]

Don't forget the blood on their hands from aborted babies.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Who on earth said that?

It's been said by a number of posters in the Rudy threads from time to time.

[EternalVigilance]

The standard these people try to set for Alan Keyes couldn't be reached by any living man, and yet, their standard for party liberals is lower than a rat's belly. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

[M. Thatcher]

There isn't a single post on this thread or anywhere else on the forum that supports your statement.

Your post is a charge by innuendo that "some" here are in Giuliani's employ. Name names.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I sensed a large amount of hypocrisy.

[Al Simmons]

You think I've been asleep for the past 20 years? I've watched him since he first surfaced in the Reagan Administration; He IS a brilliant man, a little TOO anxious to show you just HOW brilliant, however, a great demagogic speaker, but a lousy politician.

His campaigns of late got him into the public's eye, undoubtedly stroked his ego, and helped him pay the mortgage.

But as far as having any influence on the electoral process - nada. You notice that Dubya didn't appoint him to his administration, didn't you?

He is cut out to be a charismatic college professor, that would be his best role.

[Howlin]

How could I forget that; I was the one called a murderer.

[Torie]

Ted Olson is just blinded by his personal friendship with Rudy, I think is the talking point of choice. But heck, there is no reason to totally dismiss the possibility out of hand that Olson is greedy, gay and Godless himself. After all, he is a very highly paid lawyer, and thus greedy, and a disproportionate number of lawyers are Godless, and has Olson remarried yet?
