Oh and I believe Bush senior was one of the worst modern Presidents.
This is an excellent summary of the problem. Rather than threaten the 85%, the 15%ers would do well to look into a crystal ball and see the electoral defeat that looms as a result of their ill conceived strategy.
Tracked me down, eh? You must luuuuuuuv me! Sorry, I'm spoken for.
Seriously, it's the same damned standard for each. Get back to me when Israel becomes a recognized part of China.
The mayor needs to get out on the stump and make a few major policy speeches. He has people guessing and projecting where he stands on important Republican issues. He should do so on three topics:
1) Abortion
2) The 2nd amendment
3) Appointing judges
There are probably other issues he should address that others want to hear. I think his advisors are timid, afraid to offend some group.
Reagan, in the 1980 campaign, traveled all over the country laying out his beliefs. No reason Guilianni can't do that.
I don't know where he stands, other than reading what his supporters and detracters write. He can erase all doubt by telling us with his own words.
I hope Newt Runs but that a conservative without Newt's personal baggage actually gets the nomination. Gingrich running would put the arguments back right of center.
If conservative judges are appointed, they can't be controlled once they get on the bench. But Hilary will appoint all liberal judges. So if necessary my vote will go for Rudy.
It WILL make a difference. If Giuliani wins we will have a leftist president who will face a progressively lefter Congress for the foreseeable future. If Mrs. Bill wins we will have a Conservative House and possibly Senate after 2 years. I cannot vote for that woman but In a Giuliani-Mrs. Clinton race I will be booing louder at Giuliani. His election will put conservatives in total eclipse for a generation or more and there won't be much left to recover.
After seeing the pictures of him "in drag"...... I think I'm one of the conservatives that stays home if he gets the nomination. I don't want Hillary to be elected... but I can't vote for the drag queen.
He gave the reason why Rudy will win he just had it backwards. It's the independents and "Rudy Democrats" that will put him in.

So people are not allowed to be in skits or try and raise money for charities by acting silly?
That crap has not worked for you boys why are you still trying it? Slow learners?
People can do whatever they want in skits. But doing it and then getting elected to the presidency sometimes don't coincide.
The subject made the cover of National Review - that's YOUR mag.
You sound more Conservative than libertarian. You should give the Constitution Party a look if Giuliani gets the nomination.
It will have no impact on the election except to convince some that Rudy has a sense of humour and is willing to allow people to get a few laughs at his expense.
I do not agree, but you make a good argument contrary.
I will if it comes to that.
I would truly prefer to stay Republican but if the party nominates Rudy it will have failed.
Bzzzt wrong again. I am not a subscriber to National Review though it is the premier conservative magazine in the country and has been for half century or more.
But NOTHING is good enough for the True Believers is it?
Again, you confuse your opinion and diplomatic language with policy and doctrine. The official U.S. policy does not state that Taiwan is, to the United States, an official part of China. The official U.S. policy states that that has not been determined, between Taiwan and China and MUST BE DETERMINED WITHOUT MILITARY FORCE. You can pretend otherwise, but that won't change the policy, and the democracy in Taiwan deserves our support, as needed, no less than Israel.
"will be?" They already are. How many have you heard on this site tell conservatives to just shut up and pull the lever, and then blame any losses on the conseratives that supposedly didn't vote.
