STOPPING HILLARY [Podhoretz's Urgent Message (and it's not his 'Bitch' Theory of Electability)]

Podhoretz: Conservatives must avoid the siren song of schism, or all is lost.

Many don't seem to be practicing avoidance :-(

Stopping the Marxist Medusa is strictly a function of WHO AND WHAT runs against her. A strong conservative that will FIGHT and show this criminal socialist for what she is, and always has been, can EASILY bury her in smart fashion.

Lopez: Rudy? Does it have to be Rudy?

Podhoretz: It doesn't have to be Rudy, but in my view he is the best candidate for the GOP.

Rudy for Prez.

[Mia T]

What you need is toughness, leadership, ability to communicate, proven competence in the war on terror, someone who does not seem overly ideological (altho he may be).

Podhoretz: It doesn't have to be Rudy, but in my view he is the best candidate for the GOP. He remains wildly popular despite having made almost no public appearances in the past two years. His record as mayor of New York City—which one can plausibly argue is a job equal to being the governor of most states—remains the most extraordinary example of active conservative governance at the local level in the past 75 years. He is not a Washington candidate, which means he can separate himself from the congressional party's excesses and hijinks. Most important, he spent eight years as a liberal-slayer in New York, taking on every major institution, refusing to kowtow to the New York Times and the liberal media, and getting so much done that the city is still reveling in the revival for which he was almost solely responsible.

Podhoretz has a hard time stepping outside of New York and identifying with the rest of us.

As a heartland Christian conservative I can tell you that being a Mormon or a Jew would in no way cause me to not vote for someone if I agree with his political stances.

I don't like Romey a lot because he is too waffley, and because he was too phoney during the whole gay marriage thing in his state. Yes, I give him some blame for that.

McCain is crazy and he hates the First Amendment. I could never ever vote for him.

I like Rudy, but he is a liberal state Republican and his positions on the issues are too liberal for the Republican base.

Give me someone like Pence. Why don't we have a good candidate like him in the mix?

But if Republicans could find a black Christian conservative I think we would walk all over Hillary.

[capt. norm]

If the party fails to focus on the threat from Hillary and tears itself apart from within in pursuit of doctrinal purity, then those in pursuit of purity over practical politics will hand the country to Hillary in 2008.

The "more conservative than thou" purists will get her elected unless they learn that no candidate is absolutely perfect. Many would rather let Hillary get elected than vote for Republican candidate that could win....Rudy, for example.

I would vote for him if the alternative was Hillary, but we have a lot of "snob conservatives" who remind me of the religious police in Saudi Arabia. They spend their hours looking for fault in other conservatives, relishing the moment when they can denounce them and spell out all of their nonconservative traits.

They may as well donate their time and money to Hillary's campaign because they are working FOR her, regardless of what they think they are doing. These "super conservatives" are making the liberal mistake of never calculating the end result of their efforts.

FOREWORD: A note to the Religious Right

I am not arguing here that you change your deeply held convictions. To the contrary.

Your convictions--the evangelical ethos-- is precisely my premise, my starting point. It is precisely why I cannot envision how you would doing anything to help elect hillary clinton, someone who is anathema to all you believe.

But that is exactly what you would be doing if, in the next presidential election, you stay home or vote for a 'Perot.' You don't have to physically pull the lever or mark the box or touch the square next to the name 'hillary clinton' to help elect her. To think otherwise is to play with your mind.

It is tempting to rationalize this issue... even to ignore it. It's a difficult issue. It's a dilemma. But rationalizing the issue won't make your actions morally right... and ignoring the issue won't make it go away.

The clintons equate the Religious Right with the islamo-fascist terrorists, with the enemy. They are attempting to transfer onto the Religious Right the hate and fear and disgust Americans feel for the islamo-fascist terrorists. To disseminate their vile invective, the clintons chose a church for the venue and what the they believe to be a vulnerable, easily demagogued population for the audience. (A population they've exploited forever.)

The purpose of this article is to inform you of the clintons' contemptible and dangerous scheme. To let you hear clinton for yourself.

It is critical that you know fully what the clintons think of you and to what extremes they are willing to go to harm you, to defeat you, to crush you.

You must not ignore or rationalize away this threat to your existence. As a Jew, I tend to be vigilant about such threats. I implore you to do likewise. You must not make the same mistake my brethren made almost seven decades ago.

Wow, Mia, the volume is overwhelming! When I read anyone saying that hatellary's demeanor is contrived, that hatellary has the bitchiness to be effective, that the media hasn't protected her so we see the real hatellary whenever she's 'out in public', well I remind myself of the media whoredom water carrying over her senate opponent merely walking over to her podium and offering to shake hands or sign an agreement, I remind myself of the revelations by security folks who worked in the Whitewhore House during her reign over same. I also go back and read the data regarding FBI files SHE demanded SHE have access to so she sent her goon, Livingston, to collect them. When the spittlist democrats and their yapping propaganda lapdogs in media make such a fuss over phone records collected legally (because people signed a waiver allowing such when they signed up for service) to mine in efforts to find and apprehend terrorists, I remind myself of the FBI files the unauthorized bitch of the degenerate collected that not one damn democrap ever objected to ... but I forgot, there were democrat congresscritter files in hatellary's stack so perhaps that explains their obeisance to her lowness.

thanx :)

[MHGinTN]

Clafrence Thomas for President!... No, wait, we need Him on the subpreme court until we can get at leaast one more Constitution purveyor on the bench. Hey! How about Condi Rice? She actually has accomplishmens to show as opposed to hatellary and her fabricated queenship.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I don't think Condi is the right choice. I think we need a black man against lilly-white Hillary. I would love that. It would really mix things up. LOL! Oh, and give him a conservative Jew for a running mate. So perfect.

[Mia T]

I remind myself of the revelations by security folks who worked in the Whitewhore House during her reign over same I recently spoke with someone who had the nasty job of protecting her "heinous." It was very interesting....

[P-40]

Hillary...who?
