Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

When it comes to women, no matter how pro-life they are in philosophy, when push comes to shove, they are all pro-choice. I've seen high-level women in the Calif R party basically say that if the party moves any more rightward, they'll vote D.

It's no surprise some of the biggest Rudy supporters at FR (alive & banned) are women. The basic reality is that women are preventing the R party from moving anymore rightward.

Prove it. Show us the stats and where you got your information.

What a bunch of sexist crap. There are plenty of woman pro-lifers on this forum and they are NOT pro-choicers (read pro-murderers) in disguise. They are not the reason the Republican party is not more conservative than it is.

I knew as soon as JimRob posted it that it was going to be one for the books. This is definitely going on my links page.

FR was getting infested with Rudybots. You two have done a great job fighting them......but it WAS getting out of hand.

[streetpreacher]

Now cut that out!

For that, I'm sure Mrs Don-o is grateful.....

Ahem! One of the many blessing of being married to myself.

btw, she's has taken a hiatus from the board. But, she asked that I pass on her support of Jim's position. She tried to Freepmail, but her browser collapsed.

I'd expect his in box is rather taxed.

How about a pool on which one begs back first?

Well, only Jim could declare the winner of that one! ;-)

I'd have to respectfully disagree. The Republican party is what it is: a pro-big government, socialist party. It's only true points of differentiation with Dems is Roe v Wade & Iraq.

Roe v Wade is opposed on constitutional grounds, not because abortions are allowed. Try and actually prohibit abortions, and you'll repeat the same experience as in S Dakota. Defeat in Iraq is advanced by Dems not so much because they necessarily want the US to lose; rather it provides them a handy platform in which to bash Bush and play electoral math.

Conservatives, such as yourself and other active FReepers, are the true RINOs if you end up pulling the lever for someone with an R for mere political expediency.

Rudy is supported by Republicans, mainstream and conservative alike, (not Conservatives) because he reflects a broad coalition of Republican ideals. The GOP is betting that it can pick up more conservative Dems than it loses to Conservatives with Rudy as the nominee.

I think FR should continue to focus on remaining a Conservative forum while allowing Republicans to discuss its primary candidates in the off-chance (slight) that it may affect some consideration.
