I think you’re on to something LR. Those are two tough guys. Thompson is Cheney-like in so many ways that I have no doubt he’d be able to keep Rudy in check.

In Rudy I see this:

ABSOLUTE leadership under the most trying of circumstances. He looked radical Islam and the mob square in the eye and didn’t blink. NO WAY does this guy let a social issue like abortion, no matter his position on it, stand in the way of nominating strict constructionists for SCOTUS, as his goal will be to find nominees who will help us, and our troops, effectively fight the WOT. No strict constructionist thinks Roe was fairly decided so it would probably be a 2-fer.

If ever there were a time in our modern history that a militia is possible it is now when we have the Muzzies breathing down our necks. Might make him rethink his 2nd amendment issue. I’d say 911 changed Rudy’s perspectives on a lot of issues and he seems our best shot. Put Fred on the ticket with him and they’re a shoe-in. Neither Hillary or Obama could touch them in the general.

You may have something there, RG has campaigned for prolife conservatives for a long time, (in 98 in my state), so I doubt he is hostile, and I haven’t seen him attack any of his rivals, yet, and with FT, it would be a great team.

Of all us freepers, I’ve always thought you most likely to be Rush :)

Good to know I’m not the only one who saw this as possibly a win-win. I have to admit I’m still going back and forth on the fence on thinking if I could even support my own idea! LOL

I really don’t like Giuliani, but as you pointed out... I don’t think there was one person who wasn’t affected by 9/11, and he saw first hand the day to day after-effects on all aspects of life...

Tough choices here. That’s for sure. It might actually be the only thing that would make Conservatives, AND the RINO supporters happy and possibly unite the GOP just enough to come together...

I reserve the right to change my mind tomorrow on this... Or even argue against myself on this idea in the future! LOL
