You do realize that it is all registered Republicans who are able to vote in a primary, right?

I certainly do. In fact, in some states, primaries are open to anyone who shows up at the polls and declares himself a Republican.

I also recognize that not all Republicans are social conservatives.

"Political establishment"? You do realize that it is all registered Republicans who are able to vote in a primary, right?

Counts your state. Some states have open primaries.

My point is that it isn't some fat cat, country club playing, man-behind-the-curtains, political establishment types who elect the candidates in the primaries. It is the grass root registered voters.

They would be the ones to blame if Rudy gets elected. Not the "political establishment" as EV eludes to.

Anyway, I think Fred will enter the race and get the nod.

I had my yellow dog democrat momma vote in a GOP primary once...she did it as a favor for me, because I was an activist.

Last election she voted in...passed on a few months later...so she died a republican...

Very good answer. But for some people it will never be a baby.

Sadly, that is correct.

I once had a daydream, and wondered how quickly Americans would arise as one and shut down the abortion industry once and for all if it were possible for someone to literally seize control of one of the ABC/CBS/NBC network satellites, and broadcast footage of an actual abortion, perhaps even a partial birth abortion, down to every TV set in America, preferably right during the evening TV news hour?

I think if anyone were to witness such a horror, that only if they had no conscience at all, would they be able to remain complacent and indifferent to the murder of 3 to 4000 unborn babies EVERY DAY in America.

The Creation/evolution threads got worse than this. Rumor has it the Terri threads were, too.

They were amazing. It was FreeRepublic at it's finest!

I do to, and have said so from the beginning. All this work to take down Rudy McRomney will in the end, in all likelihood, serve little but to promote the Republican status quo, and elect a moderate from TN. Joy...

You know EV, I kinda like Fred Thompson, not as much as my own candidate Duncan Hunter, but every time I hear Thompson, or see him, I can't help but feel like I'm looking at a Southern-fried latter day version of Gerald Ford, you know what I mean?

You would freak the majority of the people out ... they would turn on you and shut down the debate

IMO .. the best why to get a women to understand there is actually a baby inside them ... is to show them a sonogram ... those things can show amazing details of their babies

His record of “bipartisanship” is clear. But, at this point, I have little hope that conservative folks care. And, for awhile now, I’ve been expecting the next stage here to be FR becoming “FredRepublic,” and, the way things stand, I seriously doubt I’ll be disappointed.

Apart from everything else that has been said, Giuliani hasn't a chance of being elected because his voice is too high. That is fatal to his presidential hopes and probably fatal even to his Republican nomination. Crimeys, even Hillary has a deeper voice than Rudy.
