Or fail, if the moderates turn their backs on a conservative nominee the way they did in 1964.
And come to think of it, Bob Dole wasn’t my choice in 1996. I originally backed the Phil Gramm!
But I sure as hell voted for Dole/Kemp.
I looked it up out of curiosity: New York City's GDP (457M) is exceeded only by California (1622M), Texas (989M), Florida (673M), Illinois (560M), the rest of New York State (501M), and Pennsylvania (489M).
Name 3 things he did on 9/11 or afterwards that were "heroic".
There’s a freeper on this thread who said that very thing. It’s amazing. And management is fine with that position.
But support a Republican that management doesn’t like, and oh my, all heck breaks loose.
Stepping back for a second: In what universe are "strong on national security" and "social conservative" mutually exclusive? Only in the twisted mind of a liberal trying to elect a liberal in the GOP primary.
What’s that you say? Oh, you wish to have a primary fight? Sorry, that’s old hat. If you’re not for the frontrunner, you’re an ignorant fool and you just want to give the election to Hillary. Whatsa matter? You don’t believe in national security or what?? Squaaak!!
I find that argument annoying and have said so on more than one occasion.
Thanks for looking that up.
“Is there some new rule I missed tonight about people who support one candidate not being allowed on other candidate’s threads?” Instead of asking dumb questions you already know the answer too, why don’t you try and comprehend what I wrote? You support Thompson. You get one vote in the primary. That means you won’t be voting for Rudy Giuliani if Thompson is in it when the caucus/primary date rolls around in your respective state. So why do conservatives on this site who strongly oppose Giuliani gets your granny panties in such a wad?
If Hillary gets in then your tagline will be the mildest version of what I can imagine happening. John Ross may have just been prescient.
When did Giuliani become pro-life?
“And you ARE a punk. Always have been, always will be.”
Yep, you’re all class, howlin.
Like the time you insinuated that I was on drugs and gay because I dared disagree with the mier’s pick.
I have never seen you be able to back up any of your posts with facts. Just blaming people for not being loyal enough like the good little GOP lapdogs you’d like us all to be. And when that doesn’t work, you start insulting people on the board.
You’ve noticed that I haven’t done the same name calling towards you - I’ve merely pointed out your pattern of behavior I’ve seen for years. You, on the other hand, easily slip into calling everyone you don’t like a name. And when you get called on it, you resort to the “Are you threatening me?? Are you trying to get me banned” act.
You’re as predictable as clockwork.
You call Giuliani a Republican? LOL. Guess the joke’s on you.
Why are you asking stupid questions? Rudy has been moderating his position on abortion, saying it’s up to the states which, last I knew, conservatives endorsed states rights.
All this crazy, late night, internecine FR IN-FIGHTING could be SOLVED.
If just DAN QUAYLE would step in.
;-)
Well, that happened in 1964, 43 years ago.
Since then, it's been the "real, true" conservatives turning their backs on the Republican Party whenever they don't get their way.
