I respect your opinion but respectfully disagree with you. We're too far out to say only Rudy can beat Hilly and you also assume Hilly will be the Dem nominee, I don't believe she will be.
We can only choose among the candidates who are running.
This is not a question of what candidate, who doesn't exist, would we wish to run, it's a choice between the available candidates.
I personally would like Jeb Bush, but he isn't running and if he would be, he couldn't get the nomination and may or may not beat Hillary, on account of the hatred the MSM and Dems were able wo whip up against President Bush.
So I can't vote for Jeb, he isn't running.
I don't see anyone jumping in the race who would have any chance against Hillary or the Dem candidates. People engaged in wishful thinking and attacked those of us who said that a Dem Congress in 2006 is a real possibility, unless conservatives stop pouting and get and vote for Republicans, or we'll get Nancy Pelosi. Well, they didn't believe us and we did get a Dem Congress. We must do everything to keep from having an UNCHECKED Dem majority -- a Dem President, a Dem Congress, which will also result in Activist Judiciary, appointed by leftis Dems. If that isn't a nightmare scenario, I don't know what is.
People bring up Fred Thompson, but if you saw some of those threads -- did you know he supports McCain? If he jumped in, it would only split Republicans and help McCain. Who would want us to have a choice between McCain and Hillary?
Also, NO Dem nominee is preferable to a Republican one. You can see the damage the Dems are already doing and trying to do to our national security. Just imagine what ANY Dem president with a Dem Congress would do.
