Heard him on the radio - (Vannity?) recently. He was very unimpressive.

Where is Steve?

He still writes his comments on two full pages of Forbes every two weeks.

He and Rupert Murdoch have formed an alliance and Steve appears every Saturday on Fox on Forbes. He also appears on the Fox Business network.

He is a regular on several Fox news presentations including Fox and Friends and especially Niel Cavuto.

The truth is that he is more visible now than when he was running for president.

Yeah, I’ve been called some things too. By people who should know better.

About what did he lie?

That he was or is a pro-life conservative. His endorsement of Giuliani verifies what I knew a very long time ago. He was lying.

I agreed with the first TARP.

I'll have to agree to disagree with a fellow Freeper here.

TARP I set the precedent for just about every damaging thing Obama has rammed through. Supporting it cost McCain the election, too.

Fortunately we are far more than an economy.

Of course we are but without a viable economy the rest disappears. We are about to learn that the hard way!

If the fact he supported Guiliani means he wasn't prolife himself, then he has a lot of company. That doesn't wash.

You know, Tom, I am getting sick and tired of all these people who think that unless you agree with them 100% you're not pro-life, you're not a good Christian, you're a RINO, whatever. I'm getting sick of it.

I have lost a lot of respect for Republicans in recent years because of their holier-than-thou attitudes.

This ain't church. The political parties have nothing to do with people's eternal salvation.

Iowa politics has been high jacked with this mindset.

"Reagan had a poor heir apparent, much like with Thatcher in the U.K. Their George Bush, Sr., John Major, gave the UK over a decade+ of uncontested Labour power when he went squish on her policies."

I think that one of Ronald Reagan's biggest mistakes, was choosing George H. W. Bush to be his running mate. I really doubt that had Bush not been Reagan's V.P., he would have ever been elected POTUS in 1988.

I’ll ignore the straw men and simply point out that Giuliani is an admirer of Margaret Sanger. So much so that he used his mayoral office to honor her publicly.

I’m sorry you can’t, for some reason, see any connection between the true beliefs of folks and who they endorse for public office.

But, the practical reality is that personnel IS policy.

Any office, doesn’t matter what it is, is only as good or bad as the individual holding it.

This country will not be rescued unless conservatives stop compromising and supporting liberals. Including, and perhaps especially, those who are actually liberals in conservative clothing.

Yeah, I think you’re right. My personal choice would’ve been NV Sen. (and former Governor) Paul Laxalt, a solid Conservative who was friends with Reagan. Reagan didn’t choose him because he didn’t think the country would accept two Westerners on the ticket. Clinton, of course, broke that “region balancing” precedent by picking Gore from the neighboring state.

Had he not gone with Bush, he might’ve gone with Howard Baker, the Senate GOP leader, or perhaps then-DE Gov. Pete du Pont. But we all should be grateful he didn’t go with the early first choice, former President Gerald Ford.

That's as may be. I personally think that the Saudi, Iranian, and Palestinian mullahs are a much bigger threat to America than Margaret Sanger. And I vote based on my priorities.

Better not say anything in a less than worshipful tone about Her Sarahness. At least, not this week.

For the most part, I agree with you but if we all immediately dismissed every person who ever supported another candidate with whom we disagreed we'd be right where we are now with standing in a circular firing squad and firing at each other and allowing RATS to gain control by default. We would rather fight each other than RATS.

There are constant realignments.

Guiliani was way off base about a lot of things but he was very strong on some other issues.

They're certainly a threat. But I don't think they've managed to kill off fifty million American babies.

You might want to rethink your priorities.

Yeah. He was a very efficient gay-loving, abortion-supporting socialist. Kinda like Mussolini made the trains run on time. And, you know, Hitler did build those wonderful autobahns.
