You can get all self-righteous if you want to, but we all know you just came into this thread to stir some crap.
They seem to be the strongest supporters, followed by atheist libertarians.
Yes it is a shame you had to repost it, but I’m glad you did!!
B U M P!
Bravo, Jim.
Let the message be heard around this nation that the Republican party is a tool of the conservative movement. The conservative movement is not a tool of the Republican party.
Free Republic is about CONSERVATISM, not POLLS 9 months ahead of time.
Yes, no doubt the media is caught up with Rudy as they are with Obama. Your reference to McCain is interesting considering that Bush actually did lose the popular vote and probably did not appeal as much as he might have to the moderates (even with Compassionate Conservatism). Now many are complaining about Bush being too much of a RINO. I think people really want strong charismatic leadership at this point so I wouldn't discount all of the pro-Rudy polls. Many think there's been too much appeasement of liberals and respect Rudy's "in your face attitude" (despite his liberal social views). I'd very much like a candidate who can bring the GOP together because if we refuse, we're toast. I think that if it weren't for Rove's stategery, we would have lost in 2000 to the mushy middle.
Rah, rah, sis boom bah. Pep rallies don’t win elections, my friend.
“Rah, rah, sis boom bah. Pep rallies dont win elections, my friend”
Neither do left wing liberal Republicans, my snide friend!!
Sorry to rain on your self-congratualatory pep rally, but I'm not the one being self-righetous. All I asked is what people attributed the polls too? You are the one flinging crap. You obviously think you know much more than you do. By the way, who is "we"?
Bravo!
My strong faith in the Lord is the base of my conservative beliefs. I believe Republican party is the best vehicle to further conservativism. That’s why I want a good conservative candidate such as one of the two in my tagline. If the GOP goes liberal, I’ll leave the GOP this time around.
Keep up the good work! God bless you!
Is that what I am now? left wing Liberal Republican? Or snide? I'll accept snide. This thread sure brought out a lot of nastiness, especially when I asked what people attributed the polls too. I don't think this kind of vitriol will do any of us well when trying to convince people to vote for a candidate we support. Just a thought.
Let me assure you that Free Republic is conservative in all respects: social, fiscal, national defense, national sovereignty, small (constitutionally limited) government, individual liberty, etc., etc., etc. Today’s thread deals with Rudy’s abortionism.
Here’s an earlier thread:

Boo Ya, Jim!
Amen!!!
Exellent post, Jim.
“where around 85% to 95% of everyone believes in both Heaven and God,”
Dunno. Lots of hypocrites and or people kidding themselves or not fully understanding the implications? Or lying to the pollsters?
Me and the mouse in my pocket. Unless you have been under a rock for the last few weeks you have to know what's been going on around here. It's hard to believe that someone could just naively stumble into the thread and say, "Nice rant" then proceed to ask about Rudy in the polls without thinking they would be suspected of stirring up crap, but I guess someone could be that oblivious. Sorry if I've mischaracterized you, but I still have my doubts.
I'm an outspoken small-l libertarian and I strongly disagree. I feel right at home here. Read the part of Jim's piece where he delves into where our rights and liberties come from and how they cannot be taken away by man. That's the core principle of libertarianism.
Is that what I am now? left wing Liberal Republican?:
You know darned well I was speaking of Rudy, NOT you!
