Free Republic

It was the pull away from fiscal conservatism and the unpopular Iraq War policies that did the GOP in this year. A push towards the center would open the doors towards a hyper majority like the Democrats had during the 1930s, 1940s, 1960s, & 1970s. I support moving to the center if that means we become more libertarian on economic issues. I'm sick of compassionate conservatives with their glossed over welfare state. The GOP has turned into a bunch of cowardly liberal democrats.

All I gotta say is this,

-Reagan voted, supported, and campaigned for FDR and Truman.
-Giuliani voted and supported McGovern.

-Reagan was a Liberal Democrat.
-Giuliani was a Liberal Democrat.

-Reagan switched to the Republican Party.

-Reagan legalized Abortion in California but,
personal came to oppose it.
-Giuliani personally opposes abortion but,
believes it it is up to the courts to decide
whether it remains legal.(This is no different than how Reagan opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act but, still supported civil rights)

-Reagan ran in 1980 as a libertarian anti-communist
-Giuliani will un in 2008 as a libertarian anti-islamist

-Reagan supported illegal immigration and amnesty
-Giuliani supports comprehensive immigration reform

-Reagan hung out with freaky eccentric Hollywood types.
-Giuliani hangs out with freaky eccentric New York types.

-Reagan was a great leader that is seen as a hero of American Folklore
-Giuliani is a great leader that is seen as a hero of

-Reagan pulled in the ethnic, asian, and hispanic vote.
-Giuliani will pull in the ethnic, asian, and hispanic vote.

-Reagan restored the North maintained the West while pulling into the South firmly into the GOP camp.
-Guiliani will restore the West, maintain the South while pulling the North firmly into the GOP camp.

-Reagan won a landslide twice by attracting Democrats in droves.
-Guiliani will win a lanndslide twice by attracting Democrats in droves.

-Reagan restored America's confidence after the malaise of the shock of 1968 & 69, scandals,an unpopular war with a shameful end,high gas prices, and a presidency void of leadership
-Giuliani will restore America's confinence after the malaise of 9/11, scandals,an unpopular war with a shameful end(I hope not),high gas prices, and a presidency void of leadership(Wake-up Mr. President!)

Here's my point if Clinton equals Kennedy/Johnson and Bush(43) equals Nixon/Ford then Giuliani equals Reagan.
