“Republicans” are not eating our own. We’re pretty solidly behind Guiliani at this point.
Wingnuts, on the other hand, excel at cannibalism. Fortunately, they represent a tiny, tiny minority within a minority.

I guess we are radical wingnuts at FR lol. Call us what you will but we conservatives have the power to demand a non liberal or sit back and laugh at your asses commit suicide during the general election. You can’t win without us bub.
You're just begging for it, aren't ya.
I dare say, "speak for yourself". I have yet to meet anyone, other some here on FR, who are "solidly behind Giuliani". BTW, if you're going to support Giuliani, you might want to learn how to spell his name before you make up any posters or bumperstickers. LOL ;)
First, opinion polls show Rudy at between 30% and 35% support in republican primaries. Unless you think only 1/3 of the republican party is made up of republicans, your "solidly behind" statement is not based on facts.
Secondly, support for Rudy among those 30-35% is not really "solid" either. Most Rudy posters here have said they like him because he's ahead in the polls and can beat Hillary, and have suggested that if that changed they would jump ship. Many say they might support Fred Thompson.
Third, 60% of republicans say they wish they had more choices. 35% say that are unhappy with all the current choices of ANNOUNCED candidates. Hardly a sign we are happy with and solidly behind anybody
Fourth, the numbers coming from various straw polls are not looking like a solid giuliani vote. He takes a few, but most put him way behind. This isn't all voters of course, but it is the party stalwarts.
And it is interesting that the only candidate that causes deep division in our party is Rudy Giuliani. Most Rudy supporters claim they'll vote for whoever the "R" is, while many principled voters say they won't violate those principles by voting for Rudy.
But what's funniest is this: Sometimes, rudy supporters claim that the media hates him, that liberals hate him, that he was attacked mercilessly while he was Mayor of New York, but that he stood up to all those people which is why they hate him.
Other times, they claim he is loved by all stripes, that democrats and independents will come over to vote for him, that he's a media darling and therefore won't be torn down after the primaries.
I hope they can see those are somewhat contradictory statements.
