Although I cannot envision myself supporting Guliani, I can see one possible silver lining if he’s elected US Pres.

Perhaps, just perhaps, he will be sooo aware of the right’s distrust and resentment of him that he will go overboard and support (even more than a REAL conservative) all conservative initiatives.

Perhaps, just perhaps, he WOULD nominate pro-Life judges, and perhaps he would steer clear of all legislation that would boost nationalized health care, forced PC homosexual education, etc.

Sometimes, as has occurred with Pres GWB, so-called conservatives feel they need to ‘reach out’ to the leftist loonies just to make friends.

But Rudy perhaps already has the lib GOP and some wackadoodle Dems in his pocket.

Thus he just might push the REAL conservative agenda even harder just to prove he’s not a smooshy liberal. (Hey, I can dream, can’t I?)

It would be better to not dream. Think about reality.

Silver lining? Like what? The Stonewallers get age of consent laws banished to victimize our children?

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.

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.

The truth of the matter is he will push the same type of agenda that Hillary will if he is elected. He is a liberal in all but name, he will try to push strong gun control, national health care and all the other entitlement programs Hillary will push. The only hope we have if either one is elected is to get a strong CONSERVATIVE senate and house, notice I didn't say republican. We absolutely can't afford for either Rudy or Hillary to be elected POTUS.

You're kidding right?

The one thing that his supporters brag about is his stubbornness and toughness.

Do you really believe once he is at the top of the heap he will have any incentive to "change his stripes"?
