Giuliani a tough conservative sell

Newt has high media generated negatives from his time as speaker - and the Dems are essentially going to run a candidate who is a "celebrity", not a political figure.

[Spiff]

As I said before NO REAL CONSERVATIVE could possibly prefer Hillary. You must really hate America to wish Hillary upon us. You have NO right to call yourself a conservative.

I'm not defending the guy that said he'd prefer Hillary. But, then again, both Hillary and Rudy are New York liberals and they only differ on precious few issues. NO REAL CONSERVATIVE could possibly support pro-abortion, gun-grabbing, pro-radical gay agenda, serial adulterer, big government liberal Rudy Giuliani. Rudy is the MOST LIBERAL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE EVER and by supporting him in the PRIMARY election you sacrifice any claim to being a conservative.

And there you have it. He is very well liked.

And that is huge! Some people don't even have name recognition - and of the few who do - there is the likeability factor - with that smile, optimism, and excellent communications skills - it hard not to like him - even if you don't agree with everything he says or does.

Note to conservatives. AP is the one trashing Rudy. They don't want conservatives to vote for him because they know he's the best chance we've got to take the White House. This is just like when the Drive-by media did everything they could to keep conservatives home this past November.

"But Carter showed us how much damage can be done in 4 years as President."

After Carter, we had Republican Presidential leadership for 18 of 26 years. Let me rephrase that: we had eight years of Reagan Presidential leadership and ten years of the Bushes.

Somebody show me a Reagan in this mix and none of us will be discussing this any further. The fact that we are debating the issue reveals that the ideal just isn't out there right now.

I would vote for Pee Wee Herman if Hillary was the other choice.

That one made me burst out laughing! You are AWESOME!

Wow, devestating info. Replace the pic to the one in drag and print the fliers now!

[Dreagon]

LOL at anybody who supports Guiliani accusing anybody else of not being "a real conservative".

Guiliani - Hillary = not a dimes worth of difference.

So was OJSimpson, but like Rosie garbage mouth, he isn't seeking the GOP nomination either, so your point is.....?

[upsdriver]

Rudy will not be the nominee so I won't have to worry about not voting for him. I also predict Hillary will not get nominated, either, so all this argueing back and forth won't matter.

As I posted before my daughter's high school football team dressed up as women during homecoming to compete for Miss BHS. Guess that disqualifies them from running for office.

He did it for charity. I have seen it before and will see it again and I think it is funny that some people take it seriously and try to use it against him. That is so lame.

[PhiKapMom]

He also joined Hillary on healthcare recently! :)

[MaxMax]

How Perty.

[onyx]

We have all have one vote. You'd think that posters here would know by now that we're all capable of making our own choices without their input.

[PhiKapMom]

Exactly! Problem is some conservatives did stay home!

[SierraWasp]

I'll go along with your first paragraph, but not you second! It is just too far fetched to consider...

I could care less how he dresses. Not reading my posts 'is so lame'.

[PhiKapMom]

Me three and that includes McCain!
