Yes, Rudy Giuliani Is a Conservative

Personally, I prefer Tancredo although I admire "America's Mayor," and this article sheds some light on Rudy's little known conservative and courageous accomplishments.

[Afronaut]

I am going to side with the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award winner of 2001:

"Hell, the primary season is just beginning. I'd hate for the media to call the Republican front runners in advance and see the conservatives jumping onto the moderate/liberal/traitor bandwagon before the battle has even begun."

[TommyDale]

That was certainly a classy statement.

Rudy thinks Americans should not have firearms.

Sounds commie to me.

[airborne]

Works for me.

May the best man (Hunter) win! ;^)

[Dark Skies]

We've made factual posts. You don't like the facts.

Just waiting for someone with a backbone to stand behind them!

For the most part, I am enjoying watching the debate. I don't care much for Rudy, but I have no single favorite right now either. It is far too long away for me to make a solid decision yet. However, I am hoping for a Reagan caliber individual to step out of the shadows...

So Reagan wouldn't win today?

Just imagine what the bashers on FR would do to Reagan if he was running today.

After all, he too was for abortion at one time, an unforgiveable and unchangeable view, according to some around here. :-)

Well, suffice to say that I will never, ever vote for Romney, Giuliani or McCain.

Can someone remind me what Rudy actually DID after 9/11 that any other CEO would have been incapable of doing? I never have quite figured that out.

[My2Cents]

That's a very good question. Reagan pulled disparate elements of conservatism together, but no one has stepped forward since Reagan to keep those groups together. Consequently, conservatism is splintering into those base elements again. I wish your question would be seriously debated and discussed on this forum.

[EveningStar]

What would you do if one of them was the nominee?

[firewalk]

Honk (:

You aren't a wagering man are you? I think the odds makers are being generous at giving Hunter 200:1, but hey, it's early yet. Seriously, I have a strong hunch that a lot of Hunter fans are going to be doing a lot teeth gnashing primary defeat after primary defeat. I'm going to have to bookmark this post to refer back to with every victory.

"Can someone remind me what Rudy actually DID after 9/11 that any other CEO would have been incapable of doing? I never have quite figured that out."

Look what happened in New Orleans if you have forgotten what the Democrat alternative looks like.

[Sloth]

I would unhappily vote for someone other than the two major liberal candidates.

Exactly. Which makes me wonder why some of these people are trashing like their lives depended on it!

Of course, it's nothing new here on FR; the same ones doing it now have been doing the exact same trashing since I got here in 1998!

[Dark Skies]

Lost me on that one...snzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Come in, Afronaut?
