me too, the problem: by the time the "electorate" (Republican base)) find out, the elitist will already have 'annointed him' and he will have sucked money from true conservatives that may wish to enter the race..
I'm not quibbling. Maybe you are, but I'm not.
I'm posting a link that directly contradicts the article titled "Giuliani's social views not well know".
I thought that was what freepers did? Research and letting others know when the MSM is not telling the entire truth.
I find it interesting that so many people didn't know where McCain stood either, that after mounting a serious campaign in 2000. This poll doesn't really mean anything, it's a snapshot of who they would support for the nomination, not who they would support in a general election. And it does not fully inform the voters of Rudy's position on judges that may or many not cause reconsideration, particularly when weighing the complete agenda of the candidates.
Rudy, I respect him too as "America's Mayor", but he isn't the "only one" who could 1)Defeat Hillary et all, 2) Defend America effectively through force of strength, 3) Win the presidency..
It's an uphill fight, I know that.
I'll call RINO-rudy whatever I think he DESERVES to be called, and bring up his liberal positions and policies as mayor to illustrate that he has EARNED our CONSERVATIVE wrath and disdain through nobody's fault but his own.
You posted in #12 that a poll said that 16% of Republicans would not vote for Giuliani, being informed of his views. Gallup puts that number at 18%. My point is the Republican Party loses a big chunk of votes.
I dont' believe he approves either. So why are we debating this?
Name a time when national security is NOT the top issue.
Because you hijacked the thread?
Frankly, there is a difference between public preaching that is coherent and soneone that is screaming to where one thinks that there is danger from the mere sound of the screaming. Have you ever been frightened by the yelling and screaming and then later seeing that it was someone with a bible?
Sorry - should be #33
I guess we will have to see where everyone stands on the various issues. These aren't the only issues.
Holy crap. That Orwellian quote should be posted in *every* FR thread on Giuliani.
The most infantile pro-abortion argument in history, and it seems to never get old.
Peel away enough layers, and you virtually always find that someone with "pro-choice" or other liberal views has a controversy with God and/or His people.
That's right! It's on par with the 'toon's words, "freedom is the ability to pick your rulers", and "people have too much freedom."
In fact, it was something to mock and crack jokes over.
My point is that there are so many posters here with such hypocritical values that they behave as badly as their poplitical opponents/adversaries and are too myopic to see it.
Oh. So, since you see some sort of problem with your fellow human beings, it's okay to kill babies?
Sorry, that doesn't compute.
I have no idea what this particular man's political affiliation was, but he was ranting and raving in a manner that caused a high level of distress in me. Others elsewhere haven't come across like someone just cut their big toe off. Frankly, that is the way the man was screaming. When I say screaming, I mean screaming. Like he was stabbed, shot or had a finger or toe removed.
That is not inspiring and makes people turn and run or grab the cell phone to call 911. There was no violence so I didn't bother to dial 911, but it sure sounded like it.
If you want to skew the meaning of my statement to make yourself feel better, knock yourself out.
