Are you saying that you would prefer a Pres. Kerry to a VP Giuliani?

And even if it means losing the war on terror?

These are lethally dangerous times. We must look beyond our own tidy little worldview. We must put aside the provincial. Winning this apocalyptic war is all that matters now.

In my opinion, this is a non-productive idea. First of all, President Bush is loyal, and is not going to dump Cheney.

Secondly, any advantage you imagine by having Guiliani on the ticket would be negated by people who would be antagonized and would not vote, including pro-life people and other conservatives who like Cheney.

Third, the changing of the ticket would cause demoralization, as it would be seen as a move made due to panic. Negative press would ensue, and we would have to hear about Guiliani's divorce all over again. His ex-wife would take to the television and radio with all sorts of gossip.

This is not a practical idea, and I want to win as much as you do. This won't do it, however.

To me, Second Amendment issues are not merely my personal "tidy little world view." Nor are they "provencial."

Having been on FR for nearly 9 years, I can't think of anything I have ever said that would lead you/anyone to believe I would prefer a "Pres. Kerry." HA!

There are others, equally qualified to be VP that are not openly, rapid, gun-grabbers. Perhaps Giuliani has changed (re:Second Amendment) since 9-11? Not aware of same, if he has...
