You are focusing on the wrong thing.
The REAL and only question is:
1. WHO CAN BEAT HILLARY.
And in addition to that Rudy is a real leader, exactly what we need in a time of war. All the other things are irrelevant. OK, the judges are NOT irrelevant, they are also important, but Rudy said and Ted Olson is vouching for him, that he will nominate judges like Roberts and Alito.
As yourself -- do you want Hillary leading us in the War on Terror -- she'll surrender us to them. Do you want Hillary appointing judges and a Dem Congress rubberstamping them?
Yup and it looks like from what I read this morning that Hillary is the favorite among the Democrats even though Obama is doing well. She is going to win the Democrat nomination hands down.
I'm a churchgoer and I support Rudy. If Thompson is the nominee, I'd support him too.
If you think the ONLY question is "WHO CAN BEAT HILLARY" then things are much worse than I thought.
Then again, maybe thats all rudy supporters have on their side....Put fear into the voters by saying that if they dont vote for Rudy, they are going to get stuck with hillary. Not the best politcal strategy IMO.
MM
Hillary already beat Rudy once (in 2000). She would do it again in 2008 if it came to that.
Beating Hillary is meaningless and even detrimental if it results in eight years of a liberal in office, which electing Giuliani would do.
What is the point of defeating Hillary results in someone nearly as liberal as Hillary in office?
It's no wonder conservatism can't make any gains in this nation when we have conservatives as brain-dead as you are.
