I love Haley too.

He *lead* after Katrina - like Rudy did after 9/11! And inspiring guy.

CA? Well - it's a pretty place(s) - we have a lot of x-Californians here now.

You think Rudy is a tough sell to Conservatives? Wait until you see what we do with Hillary!

CA is my home state and I have family and real estate there. I'm in MS the majority of the year.

He's as good at choosing friends as the Clintons.

You know, my memory is a bit rusty, but didn't liberal Rudy talk President Bush into appointing corrupt crony Bernie Kerik to head the Department of Homeland Security? Whatever happened with that nomination? Hmmmmmm....

Guiliani - Hillary = not a dimes worth of difference.

Absolutely. Is there any substantive issue on which they differ? WoT? Abortion? Gun Control? Anything? I doubt it.

If either Clinton or Giuliani get into the Oval Office, this country is in big trouble.

Kerik Quits Giuliani Firm to Work on `Clearing' Name (Update1)

Dec. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who withdrew as President George W. Bush's nominee for U.S. secretary of homeland security 11 days ago, resigned from former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's consulting firms.

Kerik, addressing reporters today in Manhattan, said he quit ``in the best interests of my family, my colleagues'' and the clients of Giuliani Partners LLC and its Giuliani-Kerik security- consulting affiliate. ``I plan to take some time off to focus on my family and the things that have to be focused on at this point, and to clear my good name,'' he said.

Giuliani, in a separate news conference outside his offices at Times Square, said he hadn't asked Kerik to resign. Giuliani, who has spoken of possibly returning to politics and has been touted by admirers as a 2008 presidential candidate, said last week he apologized to the White House for his role in pushing Kerik for the Homeland Security job.

Well, of course my point, while attempting humor, was, of course, I am hoping for a genuine conservative who can win.

Failing that, any alternative to Hillary will get my vote, cuz I KNOW what she represents. Not just some things I don't like or agree with, but an entire agenda whose only purpose is to weaken America and convince people once and for all that the American dream is not only not attainable, it is naive and even selfish to believe in it.

Unable to defeat us militarily, they have set upon our national pride, by undercutting our foundations of religious, moral and ethical principles to the extent that a large portion of the population is literally unable to distinguish between good and evil.

They have infested our once great universities, turning them into re-education camps that teach a version of history that causes revulsion, not pride in the legacy of the founders.

They have used the tactics of multiculturalism to divide us into ever more "diverse" groups of "need mores" demanding from government what "want mores" used to join the melting pot to achieve for themselves.

They smugly and methodically shape perception into reality through the great propaganda machine that was once a trusted free press.

All to the point of creating an America that none will be willing to defend and all will hope to see fall.

This is what we face.

She, more than anyone in our history, is the political face of that effort.

Any who would sit home in a snit over perceived or actual shortcomings in ANY candidate who opposes her, in my opinion, plays a pawns role in the process.

Rant over.

Never understood the fascination with Keyes. My initial impression was he was a pompous ass and a bombastic conman. His alledged "oratorial brilliance" sounded like a mix of ardent pedant and carnival barker to me.

Wait a minute. So, does that mean that Rudy Giuliani put promoting a crony to be the head of the critical Department of Homeland Security ahead of actually securing this nation after the 9/11 attacks and during a time of war? But...but...but we've been told how much of a warhawk, pro-national security candidate Rudy is. How could that be?

Honestly,

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If the choices are Rudy or Hitlery, I vote Hitlery.

I would rather lose one election and try again in four years, than lose all of the issues I care deeply about permanently.

Despite what the one-issue Freepers want to tell you, Rudy would be more disasterous for the Conservative movement than Hitlery would. Can you imagine what happens when the GOP learns it can absolutely abandon Social/Moral/Gun/Cultural Conservatism and win the Presidency?

My Lord, may it never happen!

I'm more than a one-issue voter, and I've about had it up to here with the NY RINOs trying to shove Rudy down our throats here at FR.

Obama is way more "cut and run," "America must surrender" and a "defeat-o-crat" than even Hitlery!!!

By the way... Have you read my tagline yet? Who do you think that is about? Hmmmmmmmmmmm???

He was and is. He jumped the shark when he appeared to support reparations v Obama. But his supporters still hold the torch.

We've already lost one election, FRiend. Do you really think voting for Ms. Rodham will help prevent "loss of the issues you care deeply about permanently"? You would, honest to God, actually vote for a Dem?

And, last night, you struck me as a fellow traveler.

There are two wings of the Conservative Movement. The Culture warriors and the Traditionalists. The Culture warriors went belly up during the midterms and the Traditionalists have taken the wheel. Out with the firebreathers and in with the pragmatists. Failure doesn't get reinforced.
