" Because this is what your boy Rudy would TRY to do to me and millions like me."

Apparently, Rudy decided New Yorkers couldn't have ferrets as pets because he said so....

That's a tyrant, folks. Just think what he'd ban if elected? I will never vote for him. I will never vote for a liberal nut for President.

I am the NRA and I vote...

I have never once said I was a "conservative" on FR. Do a forum search...

What I am is an extremely partisan Republican.

I don't like the perverts, the dopers, the gun grabbers or the baby killers.

Now, if you want to throw crap at the Christians, know that I am an atheist, so that canard isn't gonna fly.

Lastly, if the war on terror surpasses all else, sorry, Giuliani ain't up to the job.

John Gotti or Mickey Cohen maybe... I want someone who will be a MAN and smack people in the face on national television... screw this polite daggers where there are smiles nonsense.

Abortions in NYC declined under Rudy's watch

Yes they did, unfortunately at half the rate of decline as the country as a whole. Rudy is not pro-choice, he is a pro-abortion extremist who has publically opposed a ban on partial birth abortion, a position to the left of 75% of th population.

Gun-control was the norm in NYC. Rudy cracked down on the thugs and gang-bangers. Name one law-abiding citizen who had their gun taken away

Gun control is big in NYC, what does that have to do with Rudy's unabashed support for even more draconian gun control?

"Get your bunkers ready people, we are certain to lose in '08! There will be a Socialism in this land like none of us has ever before seen."

Then let the new American "Insurgency" begin after that!
A good bloody American civil war or revolution is what is needed for this land if the long forgotten freedoms and liberties are ever to reemerge for our great-grandchildren.

"but Rudy isn't going to come get your guns "

Even President Bush supports a new AWB. Rudy actively supports full bans.


"if Rudy doesn't meet conservatives half way then he is an idiot,,, and he isn't"

He can only do so by lying. We know his record. We know what he believes.

Dude, he is a liberal. I don't care how much he lies to try to get elected.

"if he doesn't moderate his views form being mayor of NEW YORK CITY then he's toast "

By lying.

"relax and give him a friggin chance to speak as a candidate "

I owe Rudy nothing.

"the race hasn't even started yet"

So, why the cheer-leading for liberals?

I can see now is that this election has become a matter of survival.

Then we better have someone from the Gambino crime family in the Whitehouse because all this nicey, nicey, smiley, smiley crap isn't gonna cut it...

It's beyond my comprehension why many posters on FR are determined to return the Republican party to the pre-Reagan days when it was the perpetual minority. Ronald Reagan is the man who realized that in order to win elections, the Republican party needed the votes of the social conservatives and the NRA, in addition to the liberal Republicans. Driving out 2/3 of the party is not likely to lead to anything but defeat and that is what would happen if Rudy became the nominee. You all can scream all you want about "one-issue" voters, but if the Republicans don't have a candidate who is correct on life and the 2nd Amendment, they will lose.

If it would help, just break off your Left turn signal. You will be less irritated.

That's right, rudy and hill in 08, are maybe hill and rudy in 08, or maybe their outfits would clash.

Anybody know of a true conservative who can actually win the Presidency?

Duncan Hunter, who will anounce tomorrow.

Let me guess... by my opposing a liberal, you claim I'm turning Left....

That's not particularly logical.
