I'm testing out a new version now. It's made out of north American Leftoright. It seems to be impervious so far...

My gut tells me you're not voting for him.

"If the choice is those two (Rudy or Hillary)....give me Hillary.

I couldn't believe it myself what my pupils had read. No one who backs Hillary can call himself/herself a Republican.

As others have clearly stated, if it comes down to between Hillary and Rudy, it's Rudy. Hillary must never be elected. NEVER!

[kinoxi]

Yeah. Imagine the political ads if he were the candidate. Would you expect him to win?

[Jrabbit]

Bad Republican? lol

I guess I'll be the bad one if McCain is the nominee. I despise him. Will not vote for him.....please, Republican Party, don't do this to me!! It gives me nightmares....

[freedomfiter2]

As I said before NO REAL CONSERVATIVE could possibly prefer Hillary.


No real conservative would work to make it a choice between hillary and rudy.

I don't think that it's a Rudy v. Hillary, I have seen what Rudy did in NYC during the 90's and I think that he'll continue the WOT the way it should be run. I do have problems with his pro-life views but I am more concerned with the ability of the US to finish the WOT. Otherwise we're all F'd

WOW! That'll surely kill his chances. WOW! /s

[Salvation]

Bump.

The problem wasn't conservatives staying home, but the unpopularity of George Bush that caused "Reagan Democarts" to vote Democratic or stay home. As a Pew Research Center exit poll indicated,

"As expected, the election turned out in large measure to be a referendum on President Bush and the war in Iraq -- bad news for Republicans. About six-in-ten voters (59%) said they were either dissatisfied (30%) or angry (29%) with the president. By more than two-to-one, those dissatisfied with Bush supported the Democratic candidate in their district (69%-29%); among those angry with the president the margin was more than fifteen-to-one (92%-6%).

Bush was much more of a drag on his party's candidates than was former President Clinton in 1994, the year that Republicans won control of Congress. More than a third (36%) of the electorate said they voted to oppose Bush; that compares with 27% who voted to oppose Clinton in 1994, and 21% in 1998, the year Congress impeached the president."

Thank you(s). It is insulting that so many here seem to believe that we need to be *told* who to support or who to oppose. Isn't that liberal thinking?(s)

Did I read that you are in Mississippi? That's neat to know. I am a fan of Haley - not so much Trent(g). But I'm in Utah - "don't count your Hatch before he chickens"(s)

[baubau]

Tell me what Pee Wee and Hitlery's hubsband have in common,

They're both stainmakers?

[Spiff]

Hey! Isn't that corrupt and disgraced Bernie Kerik of Giuliani-Kerik Associates (now renamed Giuliani Associates after Kerik was exposed)? Hmmmm...

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'll expect nothing more from the Democrats. It's only a matter of time before we see the Democrat attack ads. They'll be in the mud so fast, your head will spin. Most will see it for what it is, mudslinging. Most will associate him with being the mayor of the city that got attacked twice on 9/11, and being the mayor that rose the city up from the ashes of the Twin Towers.

To many, he's America's Mayor.

[Fifth time around]

So, who are you supporting?

[onyx]

Yes, in MS and sometimes in CA and I love Haley too.

[Old_Mil]

Freepers working in conjunction with the MSM to try and promote Rudy...it's almost comical.

When the AP calls Rudy a "a moderate Republican" we know what the really mean.

[Afronaut]

Yes sir!

[freedomfiter2]

Hey! Isn't that corrupt and disgraced Bernie Kerik of Giuliani-Kerik Associates (now renamed Giuliani Associates after Kerik was exposed)? Hmmmm...


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