Well, let's see. Republicans GAINED 500 seats during the Clinton years nationwide and took over Congress for the first time in 40 years. We actually achieved a balanced budget during the Clinton years. Things certainly weren't all bad.
It is BETTER to endure four years of Hillary than EIGHT years of a liberal Republican and/or another Democrat. The damage done in the latter scenario is unstoppable as Republicans won't oppose legislation pushed for by a RINO. Further, a Hillary Presidency could pave the way for a REAL conservative revolution.
A Giuliani Presidency turns the clock back to the Nixon years where a liberal Republican presided over a shrinking minority in Congress.
Hopefully, conservatives will be smart enough to avoid either a Hillary or Giuliani Presidency by nominating and electing a conservative.
Those things may be true. And while those things occurred, the seeds of 9-11 grew. Every attack on us (WTC 1) or our interests (Khobar Towers, the African embassies, the Cole and probably Oklohoma City) was ignored or treated as a criminal act - not an act of war - and enabled and emboldened the Islamists.
This is a different world now. The post-Clinton years gave us the first attack on our soil on non-military installations. The Clintons' inaction and indifference allowed AQ to see the United States of America as a toothless old tiger. I thank God that President Bush did not respond as the Clintons did.
I say again - this would not be the linear continuation, or even return to the past, of Clinton I. There is no guarantee that those benign results of Clinton I would reoccur without the exceedingly dangerous handmaidens that would accompany it.

Only four years? I'm sure you can't guarantee that. And I disagree with your premise on the face of it. That's the political equivalent of lying down on the train track.

Then vote for her if you think it would be such a good thing for the country and American conservatism. I am not willing to bring our country so close to the fire on the come.

I hope so, too. But if Giuliani is the nominee of the Republican Party, I will not vote third party and I will not vote for Hillary. People who voted for Perot, including some close and respected friends of mine, did so with good intentions at the time. The unintended consequence was eight years of Bill and Hillary.
That's not a trap I will walk into willingly ever again. I would hope we would learn after the first time. best to you...
