The R nominee Hillary most fears is indeed Giuliani.
Rudy ping
She shares his agendas.
Well, I haven't been real impressed with "Republican strategists" lately. It may very well be that they are out of touch, and this is a different Republican Party than they know.
Divide and conquer works. Take a good look at how the coverage of the immigration issue was purpose designed to split conservatives over a domestic issue, enabling Liberals to pick up seats in the House and Senate.
I saw the coverage, and I recognized it for what it was - a liberal stratagem. Immigration is like Social Security, is like Welfare Reform, is like Tax Reform... They are highly controversial, no-traction political issues that divide conservatives over little details on how to implement the reforms, but which politicians try and avoid doing anything with because it usually spells disaster when the MSM attacks whatever reforms are proposed. And in the end, conservatives get so riled up about it, that they prefer to fight one another than join forces to stop liberals from advancing their agenda.
There's a time to fight conservatives over the details on which reforms take precedence, and how to accomplish and implement those reforms. Now is not the time to bicker. Conservative standards for candidates are so high that it is difficult finding candidates who pass the smell test for ethics, honor, and honesty.
We keep on going back to the adage, "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough." After the primaries, we must absolutely put aside our differences and join forces on the basis that even if the winning candidate isn't perfect, at least he must be good enough.

all the social conservatives need from Rudy - is one SCOTUS judge. just one. the addition of Ted Olson to his team is significant - presidents don't vet judges, they assemble an advisory team to select candidates. its far more important to see which people he surrounds himself with who have expertise in matters of the federal judiciary, then it is to dwell on political positions he took while trying to become mayor of a place with the political demographics of NYC.
I hope you Rudy tooties are prepared for the media onslaught that will attempt to drive a mega wedge between RG and the Conservatives should Rudy win the primaries. The contentious issues will likely shutdown good portions of the vital Conservative vote.
EXACTLY!
I wonder if George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin would have a chance today with the Christian right? Personally, I'm looking for a patriot not a saint.
Rudy.Rudy,Rudy....
I wouldn't vote for Giuliani if he were running against the Devil himself.
I would be most appreciative if you would provide evidence other than polls to back up that assertation.
"Anybody but Hillary" isn't a strategy.
It's a recipe for disaster!
I think Hillary fears Romney most.
"The MSM keeps harping on the issues that could divide conservatives/Republicans, because they know that the "divide and conquer" strategy is the winning strategy to put Hillary in the White House."
Looks to me like regular posters at FR are doing exactly the same thing--..."harping on the issues that could divide conservatives/Republicans, because they know that the "divide and conquer" strategy is the winning strategy to put Hillary in the White House."
It would be useful to advocate that once a candidate is chosen, Republicans unite behind that person, because that person will be better for the country than any democrat.
I intend to follow that path. Always have (except one time I regret, but learned my lesson from).
Amen!
And many fish here are taking the MSM bait.
He kept moving forward, making the city a place where families would be welcome and safe.
While he's working for everyone to make the city better, his wife is acting in the Vagina Monoglogues...while their two young children are in Catholic School.
No doubt the left is unhappy with Rudy's accomplishments in NYC. He got as much done for the city before 9/11 as he did after 9/11. Those of us who were there KNOW that he's a leader among leaders.
GO RUDY!
