Except when it is "maybe". Come on baby, I can tell by the look in your eyes that you want it. Could be be we are putting out those kind if signals?
Nah, folks who think like that usually end up behind bars LOL

You are dreaming. Rudy has an ego as big as NYC. He will never be of any use to social conservatives. In fact, my guess is he will do all he can to piss them off.

I do not fear Rudy. I fear the effect he would have on the supposedly conservative party called the Republicans.
The fear of fear is just another rhetorical flourish as the liberal elite try, once again, to flush the conservative voter down the toilet.

...Giulianis pro-family/anti-abortion ideas, his socially conservative mayoral record, and his popularity among churchgoing Republicans. TOTAL B.S. (wishful thinking by RINOphiles, demonRATS, and left-wing media).

I keep reading these hand wringing articles about how the social conservatives are going to usher in the age of Hillary with their stubbornness. Odd thing is, Rudy doesn't seem to share these fears. He hasn't raised a finger to court them or even acknowledge them. Just the opposite. If he doesn't care why do these pundits?
The party elites wish the Sciocons would just go, but leave their votes and money on the table as the screen door hits them in the butt.

ANNOUNCING: Rudy Guiliani has received three entries in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records:
MOST DUBIOUS CANDIDATE: Giuliani has taken the most positions on abortion (all different).
CANDIDATE WHO SNOOKERED THE MOST PEOPLE: Special mention for suckering the media.
MOST UNCONVINCING IMPERSONATION OF A CONSERVATIVE: Giuliani an all-time honoree.

I dunno. Maybe its weakness on my part, but a Hillary presidency, and its long-term implications on the type of country the United States could become under her thumb, scares me too much to stay home or vote third party. It IS weakness on your part.
What's worse than a dem presidency, even a hillary presidency?
I don't know...
MAYBE setting a dangerous precedent (settling for a 99% LIBERAL RINO) for our OWN party which will SCREW us for DECADES to come?
I say not no, but HELL NO.
NO LIBERAL RINOS.

Actually, Rudy has “courted” conservatives, flip-flopping on issues like abortion and gun control.
Unfortunately, some folks, like me, don’t believe him. He say’s he’ll appoint “strict constuctionist” judges - but we look at the judges he appointed in NYC and conclude that he wouldn’t know a “strict constuctionist” if it bit him in the @$$.
Same for guns, illegal immigration, abortion, gay - we have the nerve to ignore what he says and look at his record.
Rudy would be a great Democrat candidate, but he has no business in the Republican party.

To: Little Ray
I'm not sure he really has flip flopped on abortion. After his disastrous pronouncement that the since abortion is a right, the Federal Government is OBLIGED to subsidize it, he tucked his tail in a bit. But he never said he'd veto bills that implemented such a subsidy.
BTW, that statement alone is enough to disqualify him to be President. It is wrong on SO many levels and has implications for many many other issues besides abortion.

Anyone out there with time available to pick apart the dubious logic and inconsistencies in the author’s argument? I’m on a deadline, myself.

And at the bottom of it all is my belief that Giuliani is the only one that can defeat Hillary. Since you are basing your post on this entirely unsubstantiated premise, there's no reason to waste any time addressing any of the points that are raised here.
I think Ronald McDonald is the only one who can defeat Hillary . . . so why don't you come on over and help in my write-in campaign for him?

Yeah, but Giuliani is making a docu/drama:
“How I Religiouly Cleansed the Republican Party of Social Conservatives And Made It a Minority Party.”
Rudy hopes to win an Academy Award.

Giulianis pro-family/anti-abortion ideas, his socially conservative mayoral record, and his popularity among churchgoing Republicans. I'd love to know what the hell Deroy Murdock means when he uses the term "socially conservative mayoral record" here. LOL.

California Republicans rejected an actual conservative and chose Schwarzenegger instead. Do you think that worked out well for California, and for the California Republicans? Just asking.

Thus he just might push the REAL conservative agenda even harder just to prove hes not a smooshy liberal. (Hey, I can dream, cant I?)Yes you can dream--because that is precisely what your comments are.
The much more likely scenario is that Guiliani will have bi-partisan support from liberals for most of his liberal leanings. I'm sure that Chuckie Schumer and all Rudy's other liberal buddies will find lots and lots of common ground on social issues. Combine that with the Party-loyalty support from otherwise conservative Republicans--and one can see how scary a Guiliani administration really would be to conservatives.

Ah Kalifornia:
Where MOM and DAD are four letter words.
Where Apple Pie must be certified capitalist free.
Where it is founding “parents” not fathers.
Where is is always Miller Time at the san francisco bondage club.
I find it interesting that the Rudy Journalists want to skip the primary part. Guiliani must think he can get all the third tier candidate votes.
