Vote Yes or No on Rudy
The Brody File ^ | March 8, 2007 | David Brody

Posted on 03/08/2007 6:23:01 AM PST by TommyDale

The National Catholic Register is out with an editorial where they say the following: No deal Rudy. We cannot support you. Here's why:

"Rudy’s deal: He’ll promise not to push the pro-abortion agenda, and he’ll nominate judges in the mold of Samuel Alito and John Roberts. Pro-lifers in the Republican Party in return would support him, but keep insisting that the party stay pro-life, and fight our fiercest pro-life battles at the state level, where they belong.

We also see the downside of Rudy’s deal. If pro-lifers went along, we’d soon find out that a pro-abortion Republican president would no longer preside over a pro-life party. The power a president exerts over his party’s character is nearly absolute. The party is changed in his image. He picks those who run it and, both directly and indirectly, those who enter it.

Thus, the Republicans in the 1980s became Reaganites. The Democrats in the 1990s took on the pragmatic Clintonite mold. Bush’s GOP is no different, as Ross Douthat points out in “It’s His Party” in the March Atlantic Monthly.

A Republican Party led by a pro-abortion politician would become a pro-abortion party. Parents know that, when we make significant exceptions to significant rules, those exceptions themselves become iron-clad rules to our children. It’s the same in a political party. A Republican Party led by Rudy Giuliani would be a party of contempt for the pro-life position, which is to say, contempt for the fundamental right on which all others depend."

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.

All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

Never Rudy McRomney.

Hunter. Paul. Gingrich. Our only real choices. No matter how popular the Big Three RINO's are with the liberal media.

IF Rudy takes the nomination, I will vote "Yes" over the demoncratic nominee.
To do otherwise is not only foolish but downright stupid.

The place to vote "No" on Rudy is during the primaries, NOT the general election.

Freepers have already voted on Rudy - twice.

Rudy came in second to Newt Gingrich, and Rudy is now coming in second to Fred Thompson.

I will vote no in Primaries and General Elections.

But, I doubt he will make it to the General. Matter of fact, I'm sure he is stepping out of the race before then.

Last I checked he was coming in third behind (Write-in /Third party/Undecided/Stay home/Leave blank).
