Here's a heads up for the Giuliani campaign. It's coming. It's coming very soon. Beware. Run for your lives! As I write this, there is plotting going among grassroots religious conservatives in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and many other states. They want to take down Rudy and they plan to do everything in their power to do it. I received this email from an influential Republican activist who, lets just say, has an extensive mailing list among the conservative grassroots network. Here's what he told me:
"If Rudy Giuliani is put up for President by the Stupid Party, I will work 40 hours a week as a volunteer to destroy his candidacy for President; that is how important the prolife position -- and other social issues-- is to many people of faith. Sure, the Evil Party might get control of the White House again, and the Stupid Party might therefore go the way of the Whig Party in the early 1800's, but so be it. The Republican Party must NEVER nominate a pro-abortion candidate. That would be far worse than the Republican Party putting up a pro-slavery candidate in the mid-1800's. That is how strong many of us feel David. Many of us will also be putting in 40 hours a week during the primary/caucus season to defeat Giuliani at all costs."
Tough words. Don't think for a second that these activists aren't serious. They are. They know Rudy is getting some traction from social conservatives and they are not going to take for granted that Giuliani will fade once his views are known. As these activists galvanize, they could star in a movie.
Using the term "All or Nothings" to describe people who are opposed to a candidate who is a credible conservative on no more than 20-25% of the issues is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen here on this site.
....but there's "victory" in having Hillary running things for 8 years? Making Supreme nominations for 8 years? Go ahead oppose the GOP candidate and see how things are in 2016.
I will push for and support whatever Republican candidate I will in the primaries......but I'll never attempt to help Hillary into the big House by opposing the GOP nominee in the general, whoever it will be.
Even if it's Rudy.
Even if it's McCain.
Even if it's Romney.
....or any of the other "maybe"/"might be"/"thinkin' about it" candidates.

I could vote for McCain though. Only partly because crazy people are fun.

What country do you live in where Presidents serve eight year terms?
Rudy's Supreme Court nominees, by the way, would be no better for Social Conservatives. anyone suggesting otherwise is full of crap.

The reason Democrats/progressives are classified "Evil" is they are activists, who want to do things - even if not actually laid down as "things to be done" in the Consitution.
And as his critics and supporters have pointed out, Hizzoner is exactly that kind of go-getter who gets things done, by whatever means necessary.
Pro-lifers should check-out his web site where Turdiano reaffirms his worship of abortion: "Rudy Giuliani .....believes that (abortion) is a decision between a woman, her doctor, her family, and her God".
This liberal dumbo reiterates his obeisance to abortion-on-demand. Rudeo is still on his knees, puckered up to his abortion-on-demand cronies.
"I sure am. I'd much rather lose than have Rudy win. I know that I am not alone."
Rudy would destroy the GOP more than any democrat ever could.
Your logic is one of the most idiotic things I have seen on this site.
I don't think these people have the juice to stop Rudy.
What "logic" are you talking about?
As will I. Millions will go from enthusiastic Republican voters to working against its nominee if Giuliani wins the nomination.
I'll quote Eternal in response to you: "The alternative is for America to be stuck with two evil parties, and no conservative party."
What country do YOU live in where "victory" includes helping the opposing candidate win......and if you think a Hillary Presidency won't be for 8 years.....you really ARE in another country.
Yeah yeah...everyone other than you is full of crap.....
wow wee..gathering storm huh?
What? Just because someone puts an 'R' after their name it does not make them immune to doing evil. It might just change how much you are willing to accept. Rudy is far enough to the left on issues which count (guns, abortion, no gay 'marriage') that he might as well run as a Democrat.
I did not say I liked it. I said it was so. Given the front-loading of the primaries, and all the structural changes that favor a moneyed candidate versus a grass-roots candidate, do you dent that this is so?
You may or may not decide the leave the party because you feel the party has passed conservatives by. That is up to you. I can't say that I would blame you if you bolt. I have considered myself several times in the past. But I just believe that with western civilization in the crosshairs of Islam, I cannot take actions that are going to help Hitlery and the defeatists.
Please don't kill mey. I am just the mesenger.
