So Why is Novak still withholding his source's name?
Wussies. Stand up and fight back...quick being afraid. CONSERVATIVES WILL NEVER GET A FAIR AND BALANCED HEARING IN THE LAMESTREAM PRESS. NEVER EVER EVER! SO REPUBLICANS, QUIT ACTING LIKE YOU'RE VICTIMS: FIGHT BACK--AND HARD.
Novak is a paleoconservative.
He is from the Buchanan wing of the party.
My take on Novak is very similar to yours...I always laughed when CNN introduced him as a "conservative" columnist.
Novak is not a democrat.
He is a paleocon republican.
I.E. the weird fringe guys from the Buchanan side.
I think Rudy has a better shot at winning nationally than he does unseating Hilly for the Senate seat in NY.
Just as Democrats had envisioned the promised land with enhanced prospects for gaining control of the House in the 2006 elections
Riiiight. And I'm going to win the lottery
Depends on the issue.
He goes back and forth on some things.
To his credit he did write a foreword on newer copies of Jude Wakkinskis "How the world works".
Its the book President Reagan used to call "The bible of supply side economics".
But Novak has always been flakey, I do remember him on crossfire yelling at Buchanan (who he actually likes) that he was a republican.
"RUDY AND BLACKS"
"While former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is shown by polls to be the most popular possible Republican presidential candidate with the party's voters nationally, he is viewed as a disaster in the 2008 election by prominent African-American Republicans."
"The black Republicans, engaged in a difficult uphill struggle to broaden the party's base, say the overwhelmingly favorable voter response to Giuliani's handling of the 9/11 disaster did not apply to African-Americans. They report that the black attitude toward Giuliani remains shaped by the record of police shootings in New York under his watch."
"Specifically cited is Giuliani's support of the police in the shootings of Amadou Diallo and Patrick Dorismond, both unarmed black men."
The irony in all of this is that Giuliani, who cut the crime rate at a percentage unimaginable in the modern era, was probably responsible for saving hundreds, if not thousands of lives of Black New Yorkers who were getting slaughtered en masse under previous regimes going back decades. Comparing two unfortunate incidents to the thousands of lives saved is really beyond the pale.
More drivel from Novak. The Hammer will be back.
No, Wikipedia states this as well. (For what that is worth)
He's a Critic of Israel, and supporter of Palestine. BARF!
I'm beginning to wonder if Dennis Hastert will retire.
I agree. Many conservatives are reflexively opposed to Guiliani becasue of his liberalism on social issues. But if a commitment to appoint Constitutionalist judges and Justice Department officials could be obtained from him, would that win over any pro-life, pro-family conseratives?
I ask because I don't think we should rule him out entirely. He is, after all, an excellent leader and administrator.

IMO only Jeb Bush might be able to defeat Giuliani for the 2008 GOP nomination, unless Giuliani makes some awful mistake. The voters prefer candidates with elective experience in major executive office to those without. Rudi Giuliani and Jeb Bush are the big two in that regard. Rudi is a national hero and Jeb Bush is the best governor in the country. Don't overestimate ideology. The voters are far more interested in candidates' characters and executive ability than their ideology.
Both Buchanan and Novak went so far to the right they went "round the bend" so that they ended up in the left fringe group that hates Israel!!
As far as I am concerned, the guy lost it years ago. 1st of all, this tactic is just what the demorats want, for us to fight over who will comprise our leadership. His "article" just lends to that agenda.
There is no way that Reynolds and Boehner will be mucking up the party for their own political gain, it just will not happen. We need a strong and steady road right now, and we need to get together and back those that are working hard for our party. Blunt and Hastert are working their asses off, and doing a damn fine job. Right now, the MSM and the Rats are out to get them, they have nothing, don't listen to their garbage.
