Good riddance. Who needs that pinko anyhow. The GOPs got enough of a RINO infestation.
Yes and he got his butt nun out of Virginia by he state governor for meddling in their gun affairs.
Like he was EVER a Republican!!! he’s a LIMOUSINE LIBERAL!!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
OMG, LOL!
Like he ever WAS a friggin' Republican. Good God. See ya later, MIKEY.
This loser is under some illusion that most Americans know or care who he is.
There is more to America than NY City.
And all his billions might buy him .08% of the vote.
He hurts Hillary in NY.
I predict he will have less than a Nader-like impact on the election. Outside of a few siphoned lib votes from NY, NJ not enough to flip those states to the GOP column. He is a tempest in a teapot concerning the election....IMHO.
Well, he might be able to take some of the liberal, jewish Florida voters and that would certainly help us.
Hopefully, he can have recruit Lindseed Graham or Chuck Hagel to run with him.
Conveniently, those are issues Rudy himself supports.
Well, this move presents a nice dilemma for the Rudy supporters. They say the only reason they support Rudy is because he’s the only one that can win. I have doubts that’s the only reason for some of them.... If a Liberal Dem runs like Hill from N.Y., and a Liberal “Indy” like Bloomberg runs from N.Y., just how likely is it Rudy tops both of them in a national race and retains conservatives?
Yeah, I think we all know the answer to that.
Conservatives are on the right track for victory. Let those two fight and divide the liberal vote. We nominate a conservative, retain the South, and have a good chance of picking off the MidWest full of reagan conservative Dems.
Hope you are right but I doubt it...Jewish Libs will stick with the Hildabeast overall....we shall see though...
Same stuff RinoRudy supports, and he actually had his 15 minutes of fame here on FR.
Some Freepers fell for him just like Sean Hannity did.
What??? The hero who saved NYC from trans-fats and ashtrays? A worm?? LOL!
Two threads going here. See my post 27 on the other one.
Is it too late for someone to rise up out of the heartland of the country and gather some grassroot support to win this thing? So many of us are tired of politicians and east coast intelligencia. The media is giving them so much press that the media is narrowing the field for the country to candidates they like.
Sorry for the ramblings... too little sleep last night. Just wishing we had a Moses raised up to follow!
That’s my hope.
I run a small business. So I have impeccable capitalist credentials. Rich and buying off politicians is NOT capitalism--it is a third-world hidalgo system.
As our government accumulates ever more power and money, rich folks are tempted to buy what they want instead of going out and earning it in the market.
Businesses have always tried this; but our gvt is getting to be more and more of a third-world spoils system. As that happens, businesses and rich guys become more and more dependent on being able to buy and maintain their position and, accordingly, are becoming more and more involved in using the government to make sure things, which favor them now, don't change.
Under a rule of law, rich is not a problem. But in a third world hidalgo type system, rich guys paying politicians to maintain their competitive edge/fortune/whatever is a problem.
The current immigration debate is a great example of this. There would be no debate on closing the border--it would have been done years ago--were there not multiple millions of dollars flowing into politicians coffers from, well, rich guys who are abusing the system.
The great ethanol scam is another. Large agribusinesses have seen the value of their land increase by 50% because of the money they paid to politicians to force, at best, a marginal alternate energy source onto the market.
There should be a rough balance of power between folks who walk precincts and folks who write checks in a political party. They have to live together and neither can survive without the other. It's obvious at this point that, at least in the R party. The folks who write checks are wagging the doggie.
That said, the ultimate ones to blame are American voters for passing the income tax and electing the politicians that brought us the new deal, the war on poverty and the prescription drug entitlement. Them and the folks that have since used the powers given to drive America toward a third-world spoils system of government. All the immigration debate has done is pull the mask on what has been true for decades. But do I occasionally get pissed off at the rich folks who take advantage of it? Yes. And I'm a capitalist.
Actually, in the unlikely event that these three really were the General Election candidates, I think it would be very, very likely that we'd end up with President Rudy.
But I doubt that Rudy gets the nomination in any case -- and I have strong doubts that Hillary will, either.
