Rudy has not recently demonstrated much interest in what Republican Conservatives actually give a $hit about.

Giuliani Explains Republican Party's Failure in 2008.........

Golly----we were all waiting w/ baited breath to hear Rooty's take, now weren't we (/s).

You gotta wonder about this nitwit's mental stability. Ghouliani-----a puppet of the pukeneos----spent $60M and got one delegate (that he shared).

Ghouli kept saying he was "saving" himself for Florida to avoid those "horrid" conservatives lurkng in early states. At the same time, the lisping little jerk was running furiously (and losing) in every primary/caucus state.

FLORIDA AT LAST Ghouli campaigned 63 days straight in his "Fla stronghold" and came in a distant third......even with his "powerhouse" voting bloc, "Israelis for Giuliani" who flew in, just to vote for him.

Rudy's 2008 campaign has achieved cult status-----as the stupidest, losingest campaign in US political history.

You assume... ASSUME that just because McCain use to have some liberal tendencies back in 2000, that he lost the election.

You completely ignore the completely embarrassing videos of Sarah Palin interviews, although she may be a smart person, her answers were really dumb.

You completely ignore the fact that the economy collapsed under a Republican president (the George Bush (Sr.) effect)

You completely ignore that we are in a massively unpopular war in Iraq, even if we are RIGHT on Iraq.

Guess what, if a more right-wing person was elected? We wouldn’t have even gotten that 44% of the national vote.

Stop ignoring the facts... If McCain ran the same exact campaign, even with Palin against a WHITE Democrat while the economy is booming... McCain would have won a major landslide.

Rudy would have wiped the floor with Obama, but noooooo, the GOP wanted someone clear as the driven snow, so we got stuck with McLame.

The Republicans lost for one simple reason. They did not run on solid conservative principles. The fools still haven’t learned what most of us shouted about all through the campaign. Run and govern from a conservative position you win, run FROM conservative positions and you lose. It ain’t that damn difficult.

RINO RUDY PRAYS FOR VICTORY

" P-l-e-a-s-e make me sound conservative. I'm losing my butt out there."

"My neocon masters told me I didn't need those redneck gun nuts and
those dumb pro-life Christian conservatives to make a primary showing."

"They're killing me on FR just b/c I dumped my wife for my mistress, don't talk
to my kids, was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner, appointed gays and pedophiles
to top city jobs, and provided a sanctuary for illegals."

"If I win, I promise I won't kick so/con Repubs to the curb and won't
religiously cleanse the Party like my neocon masters want me to do, in exchange
for campaign contributions."

Actually we got stuck with Hussein Obama. I agree that Rudy would have beaten Obama like a drum, it wouldn’t have even been close.

Do you think Rudy’s first executive order would have been to stop the military trials of the terrorists, as Obama just did?

Giuliani’s 12 Commitments — compare them with Obama’s agenda.

The twelve commitments:

-I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists’ War on Us.
-I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.
-I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
-I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
-I will impose accountability on Washington.
-I will lead America towards energy independence.
-I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
-I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
-I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
-I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
-I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
-I will expand America’s involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.

... and you sir, are assuming WRONG! When Sarah came aboard John McCain stood his ONLY CHANCE of winning.
Because of the compromising in the Republican Party, for the first time in over 50 years of voting, my husband and I will be registering to vote Independent!!

GTFOOH. Assume? In 2000? What about his vote FOR the 'bailout' in 2008?

What about is support of blanket Amnesty for illegal immigrants in 2007?

What about his support of increased 'gun control' in 2005?

What about McCain-Feingold in 2004?

McCains a frigging liberal.

If it weren't for Palin he'd have lost by ten million votes instead of just 5 million.

God, I am soooo sick of liberal newbies wandering in....

Agree with you completely. Wonder what a Giuliani/Palin ticket would have done.

Actually, McCain did lose by 10 million votes. To be exact, 9,522,111 votes the last time I checked.

Only a liberal would assume that a pro-life, pro-Iraq-war, pro-Bush, pro-Securing-our-borders, pro-free-market, pro-tax-cuts, pro-2nd-amendment, pro-national-security, pro-cutting-back-spending, pro-small-government Republican like JOHN MCCAIN, “is a liberal”.

Ignorance is bliss, maybe you should have read John McCain’s website and his voting record a little better. Did he make mistakes? YES. Did he cross the aisle a bit too much? YES. Was he still a conservative and held strong on conservative issues? YES.

John McCain may have had some liberal votes at times, but he voted against liberals waaaay more. So let’s average his pro-conservative votes in, and then we see the TRUE story.

Let me clarify, John McCain is not the perfect conservative. That doesn’t mean that a more perfect conservative in your view, could have done any better.

Pro securing our border? You're demonstrably insane.

McRino was pro-Amnesty. That ain't 'securing' sh**, Scooter.

Pro tax cuts? McCain voted AGAINST the Bush tax cuts. Remember that Skippy?

Pro free market? McCain voted to throw the the last vestiges of the free market into the scrap heap with his idiotic support of the bank 'bailout'.

Pro 2nd Amendment? McCain voted against gun owners with his support of closing a non-existent 'gun show loophole'.

Listen noob, McCain got his ass handed to him because he's a liberal. He was quite rightly rejected by the Party base because he's been pissing on us for decades all the while trying to convince us it's raining.

Peddle your BS somewhere else RINO. It ain't wanted here.

Our job is to toss traitors like you OUT of the Republican Party, not let more of you in.

It’s the turn to pandering, spending, big government and giving up on winning issues with great ideas that has ruined the GOP. People like Rudy, McCain, and the Bush family are the sources of the trouble.

Giuliani could not win anything. Witness the primaries.

And McCain was never the selection of social conservatives either: he hates social conservatives.

McCain has never been for the Right to Life.

He is a liar whom no one likes.

He supported the Iraq War.

I don’t.
