Specter may be leaning toward Giuliani [LOL... must read]
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | August 19, 2007 | By James O'Toole,

(snip)

Referring to his busy regimen of town meetings and fund-raising events in recent months, he said, "I have found among strong pro-life Republicans, a willingness to consider [former New York mayor] Rudy Giuliani because of the concern about Sen. Clinton . . . And I think that's a healthy thing, if we move away from litmus-test, one-issue politics.''

Referring to voting groups that have been at the core of his political base, he added, "I think he would have some natural appeal to the moderate, suburban Republicans or independents, and some appeal to Democrats, I don't want to go so far as to pick him as my choice but I think those factors, where pro-life Republicans are willing to consider him -- I'm not saying they're going to take him but they're going to consider him -- is a very big help in a primary contest. And I think his appeal to moderate Republicans and some Democrats is a key factor in his electability in general.''

I got a call from Michael Reagan yesterday saying that B Boxer has a bill to legalize any abortion for any reason anytime and undo the partial birth bill.

I honestly believe Rudy is the most electable. He’s not my first choice. But we must consider the best way of keeping Hitlery out of the White House.

I might make a pact with the Devil himself to do that.

If Specter is leaning towards Rudy, he apparently has lots of company. What’s your point?

Thursday, August 16, 2007

After being virtually tied with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for several months, Republican contender Rudy Giuliani now leads Clinton up 47% to 40% in the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

In the match-up of the frontrunners, this result marks a significant shift. For the last three months the two frontrunners have never been further apart than three percentage points. Last month, Giuliani and Clinton were separated by just a single point.

You would be making a pact with the devil in supporting former New York City Rudolph Giuliani for the GOP presidential nomination! Rudy is for homosexual marriage, gun confiscation, abortion-on-demand, big government, tax increases and much more that should be anathema to any conservative or centrist. Electing Giuliani would be WORSE than Hillary Clinton in the White House, because Republicans would be expected to go along with a GOP president!! Think about what you’re doing.

They’re delusional. Rudy isn’t getting the nomination, not in this world or the next.

This says it all. Rudy is so hated by some here that they would actually vote for Hitlery. Un-be-effing-lievable.

Read my comment again...Hillary is a DEMOCRAT, Rudy is a so-called REPUBLICAN...we would fight radical leftist initiatives from her, but be expected to go along and roll over for his similar far-left agenda!! Are you being obtuse or just a Rudy-bot?!

Arlen should keep his mouth shut but did you catch what Drudge linked to this morning with Rudy G praising McCain.

ABC could be trying to hurt Rudy for Hillary but wow.

Hildabeast or Rudy???
If those are the two candidates for the presidency, the choice is very clear!

>>>What’s your point?

>>>I didn’t make one.

To say the least you didn’t, which prompted the question.
