Social Issues Unlikely To Hurt Giuliani

I would be more than happy to. Unfortunately, I remember a night in November 1993 when Bill Clinton became president. I had a lump in the pit of my stomach and knew, just knew that we were in trouble. I feel the same way every time I think of the Democrats taking the house, the senate and the presidency.

I know we all would love to have a political party that would mirror our conservative believes not only with the war on terror but with the abortion issue, gay marriage, etc. Unfortunately, my feelings on all these things are the following; The most important thing is our security. We are dealing with a nut in Iran, nuts in just about every Islamic country in the world not to mention North Korea, Bin Laden trying to kill us etc.

At this particular time in this country's history we are fighting for our survival, literally our right to exist. And the Democratic party is definitely not the people I want to put in charge of that right, therefore, in my humble opinion, I will vote Republican in 06 and 08. This is not the time to gamble with our very lives.

I am also incensed with the immigration issue as are many people on this forum. I believe we need to stop the illegal immigration not only from Mexico but from Cuba and everywhere else in the world. You come here legally or you don't come, period.
But once again the Mexicans are not strapping bombs to their bodies trying to kill us, the Muslims are. Call me crazy but my families security trumps everything else. And every time I sit in front of the tv and listen to all these liberal Democrats try to tell us that we need to understand why they hate us, I want to scream, therefore, I will vote Republican in November and nothing will keep me from the voting booth in 08.

I am with you, I can not vote for any anti-gun candidate!

I don't pretend potential people are the same as REAL people. How beastly of me.

While I think your position on this is indeed beastly, I must give you credit for at least being honest about your pro-abortion views. I have no doubt that most of the Guiliani fans around here are in the same boat as you but don't have the courage to admit it on such a pro-life forum.

Where do you get the idea that I am Pro-abortion? The refusal to bow down to a fertilized egg and pretend it is a fully realized human is in no way pro abortion.

"I don't consider fudge packing, gun grabbing, or baby killing to be progress."

Here, here, I second that motion!

The way things are going in the mideast and around the world, I'm not so sure Rudy "or anybody else" is capable of saving us from another attack.

Thanks to our open borders, the "makings" of the next attack may already be in place.

We can survive an attack, but can we survive further social decline with a RINO running the country????

We're in the process of rotting from the inside out.

Rudy is a Republican Hillary (and sometimes further left of her). Also, Rudy has said some bad things about the Iraq war as of late.

In NYC, to be a Republican you have to be a Democrat, and to be a Democrat you have to be Green/Socialist/other lefty (To the outside world)

Very good posts you've submitted on this thread.

As Sir Winston Churchill said: "A love for tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril."

Wonderful find, Liz. Too bad the Republicans scoff at such things.

Have you seen the most recent issue of "The American Spectator?" Deroy Murdock has a fabulous piece about Giuliani. It's really worth reading. If one has an open mind, that is (as I gather you do).

I will try and find it, thanks.
