You think you saw Dems make gains in 06? You ain't seen nothing yet when you trot Rudy out as standard bearer.

****......he won't be able to get conservatives on his presidential bandwagon. He is pro-choice and favors same-sex marriage, gun control and stem-cell research. He has to be able to swing Middle America. Name redacted Bellerose
**** Who is going to run Giuliani's exploratory committee? I understand Bernie Kerik, Russell Harding, Richard Roberts and a list of assorted cons are available from Giuliani's group of yes men. Maybe his driver will be our next attorney general. That's just what our country needs - more scandals. Whitestone
**** Giuliani was a terrible mayor, and has spent all his days promoting himself. Manhattan
**** Giuliani for president? What is happening to the moral high ground of the Republicans? It sounds like they are becoming the more corrupt and morally disgusting bunch of the two parties, yet they want Giuliani to lead the party of moral conviction and family values? Memphis, Tenn.
**** Giuliani as a presidential candidate is a scary concept. Manhattan

Right now, I'm voting ABC--Anybody But Clinton. Sorry.
The Blue Blood GOP screwed up in '96 when they allowed Dole to ascend to the nomination instead of Lamar Alexander who would've cleaned ol' bill's clock.
Unfortunately, I think the GOP is in the ABC mode as well...at least that's what they'll put before us at all the fundraisers.
"If McCain gets it"
Lot of assumptions there...don't forget his health.
Nice take TD. I am sure you will agree that FReeper Anti-Hillary said it best: "Lord God, I pray, rise up a righteous leader in this party to run for the office of POTUS. We do not see one, but you know who they are. Place it on their heart to come forward and lead this nation back to her glorious roots. In the name of your son, amen!"
lol...you might have some credibility if you provided sources for your lies.
Rumor has it that Kerik was Commissioner of NYC Department of Correction before being appointed NYC Police commissioner by Rudy.
Usually folks want to get the truth out about candidates, not just smear their reps.
You think you saw Dems make gains in 06? You ain't seen nothing yet when you trot Rudy out as standard bearer.
Kerik was an alley cat just like I was, but he messed up by thinking it wouldn't come out when he went for DHS.
Lamar! wouldn't have cleaned Clintoon's clock. He was, is, and will always be a mediocre RINO with questionable core values. I've known the guy all my life.
About the only person who could've beaten Clintoon in '96 was probably Colin Powell, but he was another RINO squish who probably would've had the Congress back in 'Rat hands 8 years ago.
On the other hand, I can't understand why the Rudy-haters don't use the truth instead of innuendo.
He defeated Hillary's Senate run? /s
Dole and Lamar? Talk about Dull and Duller! At least Dole had a sharp tongue that he used to zing his opponents. Too bad he didn't use it in 1996, probably following the advice of some stupid Beltway consultant who told him he'd look mean if he did.
>Barbour has some name recognition. Question is how clean is he?<
Just take a look at the link to see what Haley is going to be facing.

I saw Rudy take control of NYC after the worst terrorist act in history. I saw him cut crime in NYC by 70%. I saw him turn down millions of dollars from a Saudi on moral grounds after that attack and I heard him say he would elect jurists in the vein of Alito and Roberts.
He's EXACTLY the kind of President I want.and no amount of "gay friend this" or "homosexual employee" that will change my mind. No matter how bad the MSM, or you evidently, wants me to dwell on it.
We have reached a mile stone in America.
people with the conservative agenda are going to vote their wallet.
We are rapidly loosing our Christian values when it comes to voting for candidates.
Giuliani does not have the values of the conservative below the mason Dixon line but when he is put up against Hillery most republicans will support him. It will all come back to the past add-edge in the recent election, HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE.
I for one will not hold my nose the next time I vote. If we can't get a candidate who supports my values I can't persuade myself to give that candidate or party my vote. And, yea I know the response I will receive for this statement so don't waste your time and mine writing to me.
God has taught us to serve one God and, that God is Jehovah.
If you are a Christian you know very well what I am talking about. You don't serve him by electing people who allow an unborn child to be pulled from the womb by cutting it into pieces and sucking its brains out from its scull.
You don't vote for people who support men marrying men and women lying with with women.
Anyone with any reading skills can find many places in the scripture that teaches against these type of life styles.
Yet there are many who say they are Christians who will support people like Giuliani because he is using the GOP for his platform in deceiving Christians.
"He's EXACTLY the kind of President I want"
Are you a Republican?
But, us conservative know about Rudy as well!!
2008 is the line in the sand for the Republican Party as a viable political entitiy.
The Bush Administration and its associate leadership in the House and Senate failed to deliver on many key elements in the conservative agenda of the Republican political base and on others only under pressure from the conservative base.
A Giuliani or McCane nomination would be the end of it.
Neither of these individuals reflect the social values so important to the Republican political base or to the majority of independent Americans.
Giuliani WAS a terrible mayor for New York. Only 9-1-1 saved his reputation.
He's pro-gay, pro-illegal alien, pro-abortion, anti-gun and an insufferable egotist. Just being from the northeast would have made him suspect to middle America, but combined with these other failings, he would be a political catastrophy.
