If the Republican party wants my vote, they had better nominate someone who is both fiscally and socially a conservative.

Gee, I didn't know the GOP had the power to automatically nominate someone. So what are primaries for?

Take Rudy out in the primaries, but if he wins the primaries I would suggest voting for him in the general.

And why aren't you over at DU, practicing your RINOisms?

If he wins the primaries

It means that the other Republicans lost fair and square, period, and you and others shouldn't take your ball and go home.

Rudy is against abortion as am I ..... and I do believe him when he says this. As a Libertarian minded person I have all sorts of problems when governments dictate these issues. Its a fine line. I do think that if Rudy or any other Repub gets elected we will see serious challenges to Roe vs Wade. Most now know it was a bad decision and this issue should go back to the states..... You will have better choice as to how you want to be governed if this come to be..... smaller more localized governments give you the chance to live under the laws you choose. I have not written Rudy off based on this issue. You act is if he is pro abortion and active on it as a platform. he is not.

Give us a break. He's been cozy with the NARAL ghouls for years, and even thinks racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger was a peachy person.

---"You act is if he is pro abortion and active on it as a platform. he is not."---

Dude, where have you been?

He's NARAL's "Champion of Choice."
He raised money for both Planned Parenthood and NARAL.
He celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Roe v Wade with NARAL.

He is Pro-abortion; he has even CELEBRATED abortion.

Sheesh!

Abortion is a non issue if you lose the WOT... you show me one other PROVEN leader who's told the Arabs where to stick it?

Sorry, but VICTORY in the WOT is the top issue, we lose that because of idiots like McCain or Hitlery it won't matter where the president stands on abortion, because you and your kids will have your skulls crushed and throats slashed in and out of the womb.

If you think our enemies will not kill every one of us, liberal, republican, feminist, conservative, environmentalist, capitalist without abandon, you are grossly naive and misinformed.

You act as if he is anti-abortion.

"He also reduced the urine smell in the streets by 50%."

Wow. That seems to be the icing on the cake for Rudybots.

Ah yes, the old "The Communists are coming to kill us all" speech.

Oops! I mean "Islamofascists."

Been there, done that. Nice try. No sale.

I'll pass your "enlightened" world view onto the victims of the Islamic onslaught....

There were fools who denied the threat Nazi Germany presented.. while Hitler flat out said what he intended to do...

The Imams are doing the same thing today, and foolish more "enlightened" folks like yourself will continue to disbelieve their rhetoric...

Fortunately, since you are going to one issue vote yourself out of relevancy this cycle, enjoy the sidelines.

More like thirty issue vote myself out of relevancy. But we'll see about that later.

Meanwhile, you keep pretending that America will come to an end, and become a Muslim theocracy, if Rudy Giuliani suffers a heart attack in the next six months
