You know, you ought to give him a look. FReepers have been talking up and down about Fred Thompson, but so far all I've seen of the guy leads me to believe that frustrated social conservatives are turning him into some sort of empty vessel to pour all of their hopes and dreams into. But what this country needs isn't a conservative die-hard as much as it does a real leader. Yeah, he's been divorced, and yeah he dressed up as a girl that one time, and yeah he's from (gasp!) New York City, but he's a real leader and I think that's what we need more than anything right now.
Stalin was a "real leader."
Your shilling for Giuliani is hollow.
A big part of what makes a man a leader is where he's going. If he can get folks to follow him in the wrong direction, he's not a great leader.
That's the point I was trying to make with my dissertation ... Rudy's heading in the wrong direction.
He hangs out with Chuck Schumer, Sara Brady, Handcun Control Incorporated, and the Stonewall gays. If you think that’s conservative, more power to you, but I’m not voting for him anytime, any way. (Waiting for the standard vote between him and Hillary comment.)
This is the primaries. Rudy is in the wrong party.
“But what this country needs isn’t a conservative die-hard as much as it does a real leader. “
You don’t understand Leadership. Some of the best leaders in History have been some of the most evil and dispicable men. You choose a “real leader” (which you don’t understand leadership characteristics) of a die-hard conservative...son you are truely in the wrong place.
Go read up on Leadership when you have a chance. Your earlier statement that if someone leads you in the wrong direction means they are not a great leader. That is a foolish mindframe. You didn’t like the Hilter reference, which was indeed very appropriate to counter your argument, so how about Stalin, Lenin, the Mutada Al-Sadr, Osama Bin-Ladin, Aiman Al-Zawahri. You would discount all of them as great leaders. Well, I would say, their followers disagree(d).
