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

Re: NYC Judges - The Rat to GOP registration in NYC is about 9-1; and lawyers tend to be even more liberal than the average person. So,

1. There was certainly a dearth of qualified GOP lawyers to appoint as judges;

2. Even many of those would be unacceptable ideologically to some of you; and

c. Rudy had to work in a 9-1 'Rat system in NYC. That means if you want to get something done, you might need the support of a 'Rat councilman. And that person may want you to appoint someone to a local judgeship as a quid pro quo.

That's called politics. And bringing up these kinds of "stats" to criticize Rudy - without providing THE CONTEXT - is disingenuous and mendacious.

"My opinion is that an Army Ranger is better prepared to fight a war than someone who did not serve in the military."

Oh?

How about a Marine Colonel?

How about - John Murtha?

Still prepared to back the above idiotic statement?

Is he gonna go out himself and fight? Well then that dog don't hunt.

The Chief Executive appoints judges who are confirmed or rejected ... thereby dramatically influencing the social order via the rulings which result from the shading of the courts. Rudy has shown a proclivity for appointing liberal judges ... that is reality and to not address it in political debate is limiting in order to 'get past the social conservative issues for the nomination'. I'm not sure, but I think that's what pisses we conservatives off so much about Rudy and his apologists at FR. Rudy has strengths but he also has weaknesses that need to be aired.

"Rudy had to work in a 9-1 'Rat system in NYC." Oh, so that's why he dressed in drag and pandered to the degenerate crowd and defended abortion on demand and partial birth infanticide. Much clearer now ...

[Al Simmons]

Rudy said on Hannity that he supports the partial birth abortion ban and that it will be upheld by The Supremes. He said that he supports it so long as it has the 'life of the mother' provision.

Now is there anyone out here who would NOT want such a provision to be in the law?

[MHGinTN]

Rudy also claimed he opposed the ban previously because it didn't have that provision and yet it did have that provision. Confused yet?

Okay, was that you just now on the Mark Levin Show, asking about DofE?

Ha! No, that wasn't me, though I'm a very big fan of Levin's show. I didn't catch it tonight though. What was the call and what was Mark's response?

[jmc813]

A partial birth abortion to save the mother's life is a SCIENTIFIC IMPOSSIBILITY.

"The Rat to GOP registration in NYC is about 9-1"

You keep saying that, but I would like to see you support it with real data. I don't believe it for a moment.

[MHGinTN]

Had to have been someone reading this thread then ... nearly a direct quote of your question to BigSkyFreeper.

Thats awesome! Thanks for alerting me to it. BigSky and myself posted quite a bit to each other this afternoon. Could you point to the specific post you think I was quoted on? Maybe if I'm lucky, I can find a radio station who carries Mark on delay and get a web feed.

It's a perfectly logical statement.

Did a Marine Colonal serve in the military? Of course, so your reply is what is idiotic. Murtha is a fraud and a fool. The only thing keeping him out of federal prison for his actions while in the military, and recent false statements about his service, is the dummacrap majority incongress.

[jmc813]

Your tagline is retarded.

[M. Thatcher]

You're absolutely right. It's a little over 5-1, according to 2003 data:

Registered Republicans 520,000
Registered Democrats 2,700,000

But you people that are Rudy Supporters want to elect a "Democrat"......will you prostitute yourselves just to get a "republican" elected?

Don't you want to see what rudy really believes....he is so far from conservative thought that its frightening....

If I have to vote for Rudy or Hillary...I just won't vote.

They are one in the same to me.

[MHGinTN]

Your post # 1770 but substituted the DoE for NCLB (as per MadIvans post on the DoE and BigSky affirmation regarding the DoE).

[Al Simmons]

You still have not replied to post #1394.

You wanted reasons why Rudy will be the toughest CinC in the WOT.

I provided them.

You've remained silent for over a day.

My read of that:

Check-Mate.

Abortionist - n. One who supports abortion.

Well, nobody disagreed with that! Would it not seem that a vote for Rudy is a vote for Roe vs. Wade? I can't imagine voting for a pro-abortion candidate. Who will he nominate to the Supreme Court, anti-abortionists? Of course, murder is no big deal to a small number of people here. The same suspects who wanted Terri Schiavo dead are right here again giving you grief. They are consistent.

Seeming as how he's pledged to appoint justices like Roberts and Alito, no, that isn't at all clear.

Let's say you are right and he pledged that. Would you bet your life on that, or bet a babies life on that?
