WHY HILLARY BEATS RUDY

Yahoo ^ | 10/9/2007 | Maggie Gallagher

Duncan Hunter did excellent in the debate today (as he always does). But after the fact, all the pundits did was mention the Thompson, Rudy, McCain, Romney and Huckabee. It’s like Hunter, Brownback, Paul and Tancredo have already been ruled out by the media, so they won’t be discussed.

The media is basically choosing our candidates for us! This is so sad, especially because Hunter has a much better grasp on ALL of the issues. If he was called on during these debates, and discussed afterward, as much as the others, he’d be our nominee without question.

Hunter did do well

juli’s opportunity to beat hillary was in 2000.

Or 2006!!!

Its called FBI files..and its why Rudy did’nt go for the Senate in 2000....Rudy should go govern Newyork State for a while ..and show us all the conservative judges he appoints..and them come back for the big one...until then...

Rudy simply can’t win the nomination. He will never get more than a third to a quarter of the vote. Not only because of the religious right, but also because of gun owners. I am always amazed how much the media focuses on the former but ignores the latter. Not one word in this analysis about the NRA. Believe me, that stunt with the cell phone did not erase the memory of Rudy’s attempt to sue gunmakers out of business. NRA members are all too aware that on the day he spoke to them that case was going to court in NY.

Second, nobody is going to be putting any Scalia/Thomas/Alito types on the Supreme Court while Harry Reid and co. run the Senate. They won’t even get confirmation hearings. The Rats will let the seats stay vacant rather than confirm a 5th solid conservative.

I will NOT vote for a liberal of either party to be President. Liberal Republicans are infinitely worse for the reasons Maggie Gallagher pointed out and for several other reasons.

I will NOT accept a scenario where the White is occupied by a liberal for eight years and one that will doom the GOP to minority status in Congress for a decade, which is exactly what electing Giuliani would do.

Sean Hannity spends hours every afternoon criticizing those in the GOP coalition who won't vote for Rudy

I like Sean a lot, but his rooting for liberal Rudy is driving me crazy.

I may have to tune Sean out until Nov 2008.

Although the EITC was signed into law by Ford in 1975, it was substantially increased by Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II. Many (Reagan and Milton Friedman among others) have claimed that the EITC lifts people out of poverty and increases work incentives because it is connected to earned income.

I have serious doubts about these claims. The EITC has become another large welfare program with lots of fraud. The other forms of welfare have not been reduced with the expansion of the EITC. Receipt of the EITC does not reduce other forms of welfare. The EITC is now another large entitlement supporting the vote buying schemes of our wonderful politicians.

I don't support him. But he can usually hold his own and give a pretty good accounting of himself. He could easily take on Hillary. But he won't be nominated. FDT will be nominated. He can beat Hillary because people can easily like him for one reason or another. It's difficult to find any reason to like Hillary; even with the cleavage.

FDT can also articulate a complete declarative sentence, even though he uses uh and um as a crutch too often.

[Ol' Sparky]

I may have to tune Sean out until Nov 2008.

I already have...I'll do the same with Rush if he starts pimping for Rudy.

[lookout88]

And someone better get a pair soon.

[SunkenCiv]

:’) Of course, when the vote splits, Hillary will win anyway.

Paul and Tancredo hint at not supporting GOP nominee

Who will be the VP nominee (irrespective of who winds up getting the nomination for President)?

[Ramius]

Hillary beats Rudy because Rudy cannot bring the whole party to the voting booth.

If that's the case, then we will bow down to her thighness. If conservatives are truly that shallow then do we deserve what we get?

Unfortunately, many conservatives actually are fighting FOR a Hillary Presidency under the premise that America must be taught a lesson. I'm not on board with that yet.

Fred has been a bit homespun so far and not clear.

He is beginning to clarify now.

I think he can do it.

Rudy and Mitt sound like lawyers, Fred sounds like Grampa

Huckabee is doing well in my estimation as well, not that he is my man

[businessprofessor]

SHE will do unrepairable damage on judges, health care, entitlements, energy, unions, and many other areas. If the choice is Rudy or HER, my vote is clear. Although I will not support Rudy in the primary, I will support the nominee after the primary. A non vote is a vote for HER disastrous policies.

[stockstrader]

I quit watching Hannity several months ago. I’m sick of him supporting a liberal like Rudy.

[GinaLolaB]

We New Yorkers have already been through this with julie and hitlery. He quit and the left the hapless Lazio holding the bag.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Lib verses lib lite= conservatives stay home.

[mylife]

Bad idea

[businessprofessor]

Teaching a lesson is nonsense. SHE will inflict permanent damage. I will never be on board with the “teaching a lesson” crowd.
