Let's say this forum is successful in knocking out the Republican frontrunner. I don't think we're powerful enough to do that, but let's just assume that we are.

What's the plan after that?

McCain?

Or does the fact that we don't have a socially conservative heavyweight contending this cycle not matter?

Is it more important to shoot each other while claiming the mantle of conservatism than it is to defeat Democrats?

Is that what these fights are about? We are doing a damn good job of that. We can destroy this forum as we know it, and turn the White House over to someone who will do far more damage than we probably can imagine.

I was hoping that the Bush Presidency would ensure a conservative Supreme Court for the next 30 years. Unfortunately, it's only been able to move it a half step right and ensure that for maybe 10 more years. Good, but not what I was hoping for.

If we continue this circular firing squad, Hillary, Obama, or the Breck Girl will get the chance to replace Stevens and Ginsburg.

Opportunity lost.

Oh well, we shot ourselves in the foot, but dammit, it felt good at the time.

None of THAT is important, doncha know.

There's a type around here on FR that seems to think that means that lightweights become heavyweights. Just look at all the Duncan Hunter threads around here.

I don't know. We had a President and a Congress wanting to give Terri Schiavo another chance and you were against it, correct? I reckon that was too socially conservative for you. So in a few words, your opinion means very little I'm afraid. After that, I don't see how anyone could trust you with the abortion issue either.

And you're right, if Rudy doesn't get the nomination, it will be because someone stepped up and beat him.

It's their impotency that's fueling their hate. Not to worry, the only way Rudy gets knocked out is by a rival candidate and that guy will have to be more likable and more persuasive.

I saw only a headline heree that stated something about Mitt Romney going "on the attack" against Guiliani and McCain.
