Let’s also contemplate the effect on the GOP. To nominate Giuliani would be to disavow the traditional Republican positions and planks on the very issues that define the GOP, and especially conservatism. These are key issues distinguishing the GOP from Democrats. That distinction would be completely erased with a Giuliani nomination.

Yep. And I'd be looking to sign up for the nearest available 3rd party that mirrored my views on social issues. And I'm not the only one.

Principles over party, baby.

I am occasionally reminded lately of the end of the Whig party and the rise of the Republican party that replaced it...

***Well, that makes you a follower of Satan, according to someone I was just corresponding with on this thread. Isn’t that special?

And I will loudly condemn any conservative, under those circumstances, who fails to turn out to vote for him on November 4, 2008. We see what that approach got us last November.

Sorry, I will never, ever, EVER vote for this guy. He will destroy the party. The best thing that a Giuliani nomination could produce is an absolute pasting for the GOP so that the hierarchy of the party is completely replaced and the party can be fumigated and rebuilt from the ground up, or failing that, a new conservative party created upon the ruins.

The Clinton presidency was dreadful, but it did produce the first Republican Congress in 40 years. Electing a marginally conservative Republican has lost that for us. We need to promote conservatives and stop voting for liberal Republicans based on nothing more than fear.

Thank you Moby, for confirming my theory of insane leftists stirring up irrational arguments on conservative web site.

You are a plant.

Probably a weed, come to think of it.

Don’t go away mad, little buddy. Just go away. You don’t add anything to the conversation and you obviously aren’t up to the challenge of defending your position, which is clearly moronic in any event.

Stop serving the interest of Hillary and her like. Though I don’t support Rudy you clearly support the hildabeast as better than he. That’s clearly either a part of Moby’s plan or an indication that you lack a firm grip on reality.

Either way, you are serving an agenda that I will oppose no matter what else you bring to the table (however poor that may be, based on your performance to date.)

It’s that simple.

So. That means that Rudy MUST be defeated in the primaries. And if that fails, he MUST be defeated in the elections, regardless of who it puts into the Whitehouse, including the Hildabeast. Yes, sometimes you have to swallow your doubts and pull the lever for whatever (R) you are offered. But not this time. The stakes involve the future of the party, the conservative movement, and the country.

Amen to that. I'll never pull the lever for Rudy. Ever.

So, you would rather have president Hillary or President Dennis Kucinich?

That's clearly insane.

That's the sum total of my argument.

I don't support Rudy, but given the choice I'll vote for him over any of the Dhimmicrats.  Any other position is ludicrous.

The 100%ers gave us speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Your post means that you support that as a good thing.

Let's get over the fantasy world of what we'd like to see and deal with the real world, shall we?

Real people die when we don't do that.

If we screw up this time real civilizations die.

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Great, that was 10 years ago.  Now we have to deal with the world we have.  Get on with it.

That's a lie. People like you who have been diluting the party's message for years by voting for phony Republicans, crooks, and weasels were responsible for 2006.

Besides, I'm not a 100%er. I'm a 50%er. And in the case of Rudy, there's only a single issue I agree with him on. That being the case, I can't vote for him because I'm not a single issue voter...

Oh go away. I turned out last November. I’m so sick of that song. The national GOP bailed on my congressional candidate, their own nominee, and let an ACLU Democrat liberal get elected. First they meddled in the primary and tried to get a Rino nominated. When the people chose differently, the national party pulled their money out. Quit asking or rather, demanding that I be loyal to people like that.

You can yowl til next year. You vote for that craven loser, Giuliani if you want, but I’ll never do it. I’m not voting for a liberal.

So, I gather that when you said, “End of discussion”, you didn’t really mean it.

Thank you Moby, for confirming my theory of insane leftists stirring up irrational arguments on conservative web site.
You are a plant. Probably a weed, come to think of it.
***Wow. Just Wow. That would make me one of the most successful plants in the history of... planting. In your view, I would have spent 9 years on a conservative website pretending to be conservative just so I could come up against you [who are defending a liberal] and generate irrational arguments in order to further Satan’s agenda because I post the truth about a liberal loser RINO. Wow. Sounds off-the-scale bizarre. Perhaps you need to start or stop some particular medication? You’ve really gone off the deep end.

Don’t go away mad, little buddy. Just go away. You don’t add anything to the conversation and you obviously aren’t up to the challenge of defending your position, which is clearly moronic in any event.
***Again I’ll ask you to forgive me that I won’t take your word for it. It must really be fun in your universe.

Stop serving the interest of Hillary and her like. Though I don’t support Rudy you clearly support the hildabeast as better than he. That’s clearly either a part of Moby’s plan or an indication that you lack a firm grip on reality.
***Clearly, huh? It also happens to be in alignment with the OWNER of this website, so that would make him a plant as well, since he signed up only 2 months ahead of me?

Either way, you are serving an agenda that I will oppose no matter what else you bring to the table (however poor that may be, based on your performance to date.)
***I am serving the same agenda as the owner of this website, the same website that you’re using to tell me that you oppose. You are against that agenda in your own words. You might as well just hang it up now. I can give you a few pointers on how some freepercides have a better remembrance than others. In fact, I would say that your particular freepercide by mod is one of the more memorable for me. I’ve never before been called a follower of Satan here on Free Republic. It’s utterly fascinating. I was on the bugzapper thread and read most of it, and as far as I can recall, no one else was ever called a follower of Satan. So this freepercide in which you are the process of finalizing does have a certain unique flavor to it. All in all, I’m guessing folks will be giving it about a 7 out of 10. We shall see.

It’s that simple.
***I like simplicity. KISS. Reading through your last few posts reminds me of the KISS of death.

You are way over the edge with comparing people to Osama Bib Laden and calling them your eternal enemy because they oppose Giuliani.

That’s the same weasel dung we’ve been hearing from the Giulianites for several months. You think a cross dressing, partial birth abortion supporting, gay right supporting, gun grabber should be our presidential nominee, then I have to think you aren’t all that conservative.

Giuliani used the NYPD to harass strippers and homeless men. He’s an authoritarian nut. He’s a far left liberal. The views he expressed just this week prove that.

I have enough trouble with Bush’s handling of the supposed WOT. Harassing me for a half hour in an airport rather than letting me take off my watch. We are becoming a police state and Giuiliani would be very qualified to lead it. He’s an elitist’s elitist. He’s an unprincipled liar. If you EVER expect me to vote that, I have news for you. And you can count me as your eternal enemy too.
