Rudy is spinning so fast, we could put a coil around him and generate enough electricity to run New York City.

Odd thing about Rudy. He is too conserative for liberals and too liberal for conservatives.

"Odd thing about Rudy. He is too conserative for liberals and too liberal for conservatives."

With Bloomberg looming on the horizon as a third party candidate, I wonder who would actually carry New York between Hillary, Rudy, and Bloomberg? Toss in Ralph Nader and possibly Al Gore as well, they may run as alternate party candidates as well. The funny thing is that no other states would care!

Abortion - Abortion - Abortion.....

Every 4 years - the GOP corners itself while the world explodes around us.

While rightly noble in it’s cause - the pro-life movement must allow itself some perspective.

I just cannot fathom why we focus so much attention (every 4 years) on abortion.

Why is this issue not pursued with the same urgency 24/7/365 at the state and local level like it is with our Presidential elections. I rarely see abortion as the #1 issue for local and state officials - and that’s where it should be driven home.

Also - does anyone notice that GOP men seem more engaged on this issue than GOP woman? Seems that way to me.

must just be the women you hang around. i see absolutely no disparity between the genders with respect to life issues, but then i do run with a pro-life crowd. : )

Are you saying you have “issues”? :-)

Ok - that was funny - I will give you credit - nice come back.

Good graphic but rootie’s is much much smaller, if you know what I mean.

[TommyDale]

Glad you appreciated the humor. :-)

Abortion is the issue that won’t go away. That’s because it encapsulates the difference between liberalism and traditional Americanism. It points up what can happen when too much power to shifted to the judiciary, and the removal of many issues from the political arena.It marks a clear divided between the elite in this social, which is 80% liberal and the rest of us, who are 80% nonliberal, whether conservative or libertarian. Libertarians made not care about social issues, but they recongnize that the liberal establishment that has replaced the Protestant establishment is ever bit as determined to use government to make us conform to their morality and its attendent agenda. That means suppression of free speech as well as religion.

Plus with all that BS he's spewing, at the same time he could fertilize half of the Nation's food crop.

[Jake The Goose]

Fair observation.

I just think it’s such a volatile issue.

Just awful -

I have told the story - an in-law of mine had an abortion about 10 years ago - it ripped the family to shreds - and to this day the scars are horrible.

She is wonderful girl and I understood her reasoning at the time - an I understand it today.

But at least once a month the subject comes up inside the family and tears flow.

Horrible

We all ask “what if” - we all look our kids....

You know?

I cannot think of a more tragic issue people (men and woman) have to deal with.

But, but his city was attacked on 911 so elect him president. Please, Rudy One-Note!

"Rudy was never my favorite, but when I travel back home to Iowa, I think I’ll give him a second look because his detractors are so shallow, ignorant, juvenile, moronic and truly, truly pathetic."

Sure! I bet you always base your vote on what opponents say against someone, especially when what they say is true and damaging to the candidate. You really root for the underdog, don't you? A regular Rooty rooter.
