Giuliani as the GOP presidential nominee would be a dagger in the heart of the conservative movement (and a knife in the back).

The only difference in a Liberal Rudy Giuliani and Liberal Hillary Clinton is the fact of which bathrooms they select to use and there are some who are willing to even question that.

Awesome. I just hope those that make the selection do it with eyes wide open. Otherwise this country will be in a world of hurt.

Let’s see what positions he takes for the executive office. If he is serious about strict constructionists on the supreme court then he is a very viable choice for any conservative. How many other candidates stand a chance to win PA, OH, NJ, etc?

His personal views should not be a barrier in allowing a liberal an easy walk into the WH.

There, quite simply, would no longer be a connection between conservatives and the GOP. The GOP cannot survive without conservatives but I’m not sure the corollary is true.

No knife in the back. His history shows he’s a full fledged liberal, with the exception of tax cuts. If we allow him to win, we’ll deserve the gutting we get.

Fortunately, we have some pretty good options. Starting with Hunter, Thompson and Huckabee. If they all tank, we have Brownback and Romney and Tancredo. If they tank too, we get to choose from McCain and Rudy. Zoinks.

Daggers in the heart are bad.

Folks better be watching out for the poison in the cup, too...

He just repeated that abortion “is a constitutional right” two weeks ago. His version of a strict constructionist ranges from Scalia to Ginsberg. Not too promising.

It’s not idiocy when considering the realities facing us in 08. I am all for dumping Rudy if I had any confidence a true conservative had a shot of wining the States that will need to be won.

This is the pledge we should make:

I will do whatever I can to campaign for a conservative in the primary season, with every fiber of my conservative being.

(I swiped that from ohioWfan, and it’s an excellent slogan).

Rudy, IMHO cannot pass the test. So, I am obligated to not campaign for him, but for one of the other much more conservatives out there.

I think that's an honest assessment, but if conservatives can't put up a candidate who can actually win the general election, what good are they to the party?

Seriously--if we're thinking people like Tancredo can win in November 08 against Hillary, the party as a whole would only be doing the smart thing looking elsewhere.
