Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

My hat's off to you (again), Jim.

I don't know what exactly prompted this thread, but most of us here on FR -- especially those of us for whom "conservative" is far more critical than "Republican" -- are behind you 100%.

[dforest]

Me too. Off to watch a movie.

[jazusamo]

Sorry if I’m running low on respect

Running low? You don't know the meaning of the word. Your juvenile rant sounded like a spoiled kids.

[stockstrader]

The difference between conservatives and JulieAnnie is just huge.

Conservatives cite the DANGERS of a big, all-controlling, all-knowing, authoritarian, 'government knows best' type of liberal government.

JulieAnnie cites the BENEFITS of a big, all-controlling, all-knowing, authoritarian, 'government knows best' type of liberal government.

CHANGE!

Uhh, I'm not gonna get shot in the head now, am I?

[calcowgirl]

I probably should have pinged some of the other folks who have already collected a bunch of this. If folks have additional ideas, let me know and I’ll give it one revision then pass it on to the PTB. ;-) I probably have some categories I could contribute to, as well.

"I'm not gonna get shot in the head now, am I?"

only if you confess an unatural love for rudy

I am observing, and wondering if I will ever be able to invite people to visit this forum again.

[presently no screen name]

just learned that popularity = taxes

What an interpretation! Every hear of price and demand? You think the taxes of the financial capital of the world should be like Anytown, USA?

[TommyDale]

What an ass-bite.

We're already over our RINO quota anyway.

[wagglebee]

no matter who is elected next year, there will be at least 2 USSC justice resignations, and we are 1 away from a conservative majority.

And should the GOP nominate Rudy, that chance is totally gone no matter who is elected POTUS.

Yeah, yeah I know Rudy promised to nominate originalist justices; however, I have serious doubts as to whether he even knows what that means and ZERO confidence that he intends to keep his promise if he does.

I believed GHWB far more than I will ever believe Rudy and I remember the result of "Read my lips, no new taxes."

Social Conservatism + Fiscal Conservatism = CONSERVATIVE

Not Yours To Give
Col. David Crockett
US Representative from Tennessee

“...We have the right as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money....

...We cannot without the grossest corruption, appropriate this money as the payment of a debt. We have not the semblance of authority to appropriate it as charity. Mr. Speaker, I have said we have the right to give as much money of our own as we please. I am the poorest man on this floor. I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week’s pay to the object, and if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks.”

The only way Rudy will be knocked out of the primaries is if he runs out of money, i.e. support. It’s not gonna happen. His base of support is too broad.

[stuned_beeber]

->You forgot “craven.”

I’m trying to restrain myself. I’m new here. Stepping into the middle of an ‘ozone field’ to post is delicate when you are a ‘newbie’, it is conceivable that you might get swept off by an unguided Zot.

But it is fun.

[Miss Marple]

Let’s see, and why was it necessary to call me a RINO? Have I said I supported Guiliani? No. Exactly what prompted that comment?

[DCPatriot]

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

I'm not defending a thing.

My direct physical experience with illegals has nothing to do with violent gangs. No contact...thank God.

I've seen a carefully orchestrated progression of raw illegal to respectable citizen. Seen it so much it's changed the 'face' of the counties in which I service and live.

Because our area is one of the wealthiest, it works.

The areas that suffer from gang violence have only their own law enforcement to blame.

Maybe we should draft Rudy to go around the country cleaing up illegal crime?

[EternalVigilance]

The only way Rudy will be knocked out of the primaries is if he runs out of money, i.e. support.

We're still over eight months from a single vote being cast. Your claim is ludicrous.

[EternalVigilance]

Experience.
