You are 100% correct. It's outrageous,,,absolutely outrageous that anyone would not vote for Giuliani because of any one particular issue. Because if you take a step back,,,take a deep breath,,,and think about it,,,,,THERE ARE SO DARN MANY OTHER REASONS to strongly oppose him!!!!
If you want a more authoritarian, bullying, more intrusive, more controlling, all-powerful, ‘big government knows best’, 'Big Brother' type of government,,,,,
headed by an east coast liberal who worked in the Bobby Kennedy campaign, voted for George McGovern, who as mayor publicly distanced himself from Ronald Reagan,,,,
who vocally supported and proudly endorsed a far-left, liberal, big-government, socialist, democrat like Mario Cuomo over the Republican candidate for governor (largely because the Republican wanted to cut state income taxes),,,,
who has been a public defender of Bill Clinton on more than one occasion,,,
who first ran for mayor on the LIBERAL PARTY ticket,,,,
and who proudly positioned himself as a gun-grabbing, pro-amnesty, pro-litigation, pro-abortion, gay-rights crusading, condescending, arrogant, and narcissistic LIBERAL, New York ‘pit bull’ lawyer,,,,
who believes in sanctuary cities, global warming, encouraging more illegal aliens to come here by telling them they are not really illegal, and whose idea of fiscal restraint is using our tax money for Federally-funded abortions,,,,
who was SO LIBERAL that he wasn’t even invited to the Republican Convention in ’96--after refusing to endorse (until the last minute) the Republican candidate opposing Clinton, while saying that (paraphrasing here) "he did not want to waste his time",,,,
and a cousin-marrying, Clinton-apologist (and now I can add ‘Obama-apologist’)--whose personal life is an absolute TRAIN WRECK (and whose blatant, public cheating on his wife almost makes Bill Clinton look like a decent family man and loving husband--if that is even possible).
If you want to abandon and sacrifice traditional, core, bedrock, conservative principles and values while destroying the ‘Conservative Identity’ of the Republican Party--a LIBERAL BULLY like Rudy is the RIGHT MAN AT THE RIGHT TIME!!!!
LOL! ROTFLMAO! stockstrader is on a roll!
BUMP!
And you are correct. There are plenty of reasons to vote against Giuliani...as there are reasons to vote against Romney, McCain, Thompson, Huckabee, Hunter, etc. Not a single one of the lot is the second coming of Reagan.
Having said that, if you’re going to campaign and vote against ANY of them, now is the time to do it. But, assuming Giuliani ends up being the nominee, and we know whoever is the nominee, he will be running against Hillary...tell me which side of that choice you’re less willing to live with...then for God’s sake, vote for the opposing candidate in November of 2008. Two things are certain, though:
- Voting third party accomplishes NOTHING. I take that back, it ensures that those you strongly oppose DO get elected, because you’re diluting the vote that can defeat them.
- Not voting accomplishes NOTHING. In fact, it accomplishes less than nothing, because you’re denying a candidate you might have something in common with, a chance to work for that 1% of issues on which you agree. More importantly, it tells those brave men of 1776 that their efforts during the Revolutionary War were for nothing.
Again I say, I don’t care who you vote for in the primaries, I have yet to decide which one I will vote for in February...but once the Conventions are over, we must unite to defeat the Hildebeast, because I have no doubt that she will make Jimmuh Carter and her husband look like a conservative in comparison. The country cannot afford that, and expect to survive.
