GOP candidates should ideally make their points by seeing who can mount the best attacks on Dem positions, instead of sniping at each other. Good for Rudy! I much prefer Fred right now, but Rudy’s off to a good start

Indeed! He certainly called them out for their support of defeat and for their undermining of our national security.

It’ll be interesting to see if this comes up in the Dem debate tonight.

Amen.

Lets stop allowing the Democrats a free pass on Defense, since they have shown that they are incapable of taking the terrorist threat seriously and as a result, Americans were killed.

And I have no questions about their patriotism-they have none, they hate America and the goodness it represents.

Rudy speaks the truth. RATS cannot be trusted with our security. Just look at what Harry Reed (Mr. White Flag) and Nancy (meet with thuggish dictators) Pelosi have done once they gain power. All three of the RAT pres candidates are Nevile Chamberlain “Peace in Our Time” clones.

Amen, bro. I’ve said for two months now that the GOP candidate who FIGHTS the Dems and who is perceived as fighting the DEMS will win, hands down. I’d prefer to see Fred get in the race, but if Rudy is the only one who will attack the Dems forcefully and consistently, more power to him.

Indeed he is.

There is NO other Republican candidate as capable - or as willing - to hurl bombs toward the Democrats as Rudy. Not Thompson (who admittedly isn't even sure he wants to run). Not Duncan Hunter. Not Romney or McCain. NOT ONE. He is showing us now what kind of campaign he will wage against them in '08. And it's exactly the kind of campaign that must be waged, if we have a chance to win in the electoral atmosphere of 2008.

Rudy had years of this (fighting with liberals and the media) as mayor of New York city. THEY HATED HIM. He fought back, and triumphed.

Rudy is demonstrating that he's "got the stuff" to go hand-to-hand against the Democrats (even though they may retain power after the '08 elections, almost certainly in the House) and come out in good shape.

What have the other candidates done, that shows as much?
