An anti-Giuliani website, SayNoToRudy.org, posted by social conservatives in Ohio, pulled the plug on itself after deciding that “Mr. Giuliani is truly a committed Republican and an accomplished conservative on many issues."

I really had to laugh at this one, since this silly SayNoToRudy.org charade was pretty thoroughly debunked right here on FreeRepublic.

The haters must sit and watch for Rudy threads to go up because they are always at the top of the thread with the same mantra I am not voting for Rudy because! I just wonder how many of them have been lifelong Republicans and worked campaigns year after year because they don't sound like it. One hater outed himself today as being an independent conservative posting over and over why he doesn't support Rudy.

This is getting to be funny -- maybe we should reserve the first ten posts for them! :)

You have been here a little over a year and you are the expert I see. Noticed that the vast majority of the hate Rudy crowd signed up in 2004 and later! Amazing how relative newbies know what is best for the Republican Party.

How many hours did you volunteer in 2004 or 2006 for Republican candidates?

Tried to tell some folks that we have Freepers that don't care if Hillary wins if we nominate someone they don't like! Thanks for proving my point!

What the heck does how long I've been a member of FreeRepublic matter in what I know "is best for the republican party."

There are plenty of members who oppose Giuliani who have been here a long time, some much longer than you.

But in war one wants a war leader, who may be otherwise unacceptable.

When one wants a war leader one should look to somebody who knows about war rather than looking at one who turns a blind eye to the murder of full term babies right up unitl the moment the little toe leaves the birth canal.

I don't respect Giuliani, why would I ever follow him into the breach?

Rino is for people that threaten to stay home and not vote if they don't like a candidate! What some of you newbies to the Republican Party are finding out is that those of us who are strong fiscal conservatives are sick and tired of the whining and threatening to stay home that we keep hearing from some of you social conservatives. Most of us have been activists in the Republican Party for years and remember what it was like to be in a permanent minority in the House and to now have Pelosi because some of you stayed home and then you call us names, does go over well.

I am not staying quiet any more! Social issues belong at the state and local level and not at the federal level -- ditto education. My #1 priority is a strong defense -- foreign and domestic and how I base who I will support in an election. 'Kumbaya' and 'compassionate conservatism' are out of my playbook.

After living in OK with some of the social conservatives that made our rural fire fighters wait for funding while OK was burning so they could debate where to put books in the OKC library, I have had it. I am a conservative and resent the labels some of you are throwing at conservative Republicans because they don't share your views.

I am a pro-life conservative, but that is my personal belief and I don't need to ram it down everyone's throat like happened on the OU campus this fall by the pro-life group which also costs us votes in OK.

I bet I speak for quite a few people that wouldn't miss anti-Rudy posts that keep appearing from the same group. Been through this before starting in 1999 although you all are much nicer then the attackers back then! :)

I am a Conservative and I Will NEVER vote for Rudy (though I respect his as "America's Mayor") for POTUS!!

There are many reasons why: One: Sup. Ct. Justices (he would never name a John Roberts or Alito, they would actually uphold the Constitution and overturn his sacred cows of Abortion, they would protect our 2nd Ammmendment Rights, and Stand against Constutionally supported sodomy!

The bigger question is "Did moderates learn from the 2006 election: that they lost it for us..not conservatives."

or maybe you can stop with the ad-hominim attacks when you know nothing about the Republican politics I have been involved in: I have been active this year supporting Republican candidates, but I will not vote for Rudy because our nation can't affort anymore Rockefeller Republicans as Prez (as much as I love the PRez, he's no "Ronald Reagan")..

Sup. Ct. Justices (he would never name a John Roberts or Alito

Quite the contrary. He has stated that "Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito are models of what judges should be in this country," and that Scalia probably would have been his choice for Chief Justice.

Technically you may be right...

But if I were a Christian Socialist Republican as opposed to an independent, classical conservative then I wouldn't be a Rebel, would I?
