I don’t know what is so complicated about tearing him down at this forum in the routine course of things. It could be done.
It had to be right this damn minute. Preferably a couple of weeks or months ago, I guess.
Case closed.
I understand you’re willing to accept the damage from that. I just don’t know what to think about it. Some people are giving high fives, others are wondering what the heck is going on.
If it is so obvious that Rudy is opposed to everything this forum stands for, wouldn’t that come out over the upcoming weeks?
Wouldn’t the vast majority of our posters come to that conclusion after seeing the facts?
Heck, the majority of Freepers here seem to support a couple of candidates who aren’t even in the race. I’m one of them.
I probably won’t support Rudy in the primary, but it really depends on who my choices are. I won’t know that for months. Why this crisis has been forced on FR in April is something I can’t understand.
Who are you for? Can we get a positive direction here?
Or is this forum going to be negative for the next year and a half? It’s a serious question.
“If it is so obvious that Rudy is opposed to everything this forum stands for, wouldn’t that come out over the upcoming weeks?”
It had already come out weeks ago.
Rudy is a liberal. He is :
Pro abortion
Gun grabber/sued gun manufacturing co(ludicrous premise)
Pro homo
Pro open borders.
He is anathema to any person even REMOTELY
CONSERVATIVE.
My short list might be (listed alphabetically within tier):
Top tier:
Duncan Hunter
Fred Thompson
Mid tier:
Sam Brownback
Jim Gilmore
New Gingrich
Mike Huckabee
Mitt Romney
Tom Tancredo
Tommy Thompson
Bottom tier:
John McCain (I don’t like him, but I’d probably take him over any of the below)
Ruled out:
Rudy Giuliani (pro-abort, etc liberal)
Chuck Hagel (turn coat)
Ron Paul (against the war)
