The key here is to not nominate a minority liberal GOP candidate like Giuliani or McCain. Anyone who gets the nomination with less than half the party’s voter support is a sure loser in the general election.
Tommy:
For all of your negative points you forget to mention that Rudy was fighting terrorists before 9/11. I remind you of his stand up front leadership when he had Yassar Arafat under embassy arrest. And the refusal to sit down with Castro at a Breakfast event.
Rudy was pilloried by damn near everyone for his set of cajonnes. That is what leadership is. Tell me someone else in the republican field or for that matter in the democrat field that has taken that much of a stand or acted on principle. He had nothing to gain and everything to lose with the negative press.
I want a leader and not of just a party. There are 100 reasons to vote for a candidate and a 100 reasons not to. We all have to weigh the pros and cons and give eight to each. I am not a single issue candidate person. I add into the Leadership trait, the law and order, the courage, and a dozen other facets of a candidate’s character abd Rudy still comes out on top when compared against the others.
It is clear that you have an axe that borders on the obsessive against Rudy. Give me any other evidence of a courageous public act that any of the other candidates has taken against a terrorists, please. We are always making fun of Ms. Clinton for hew dancing around an issue. Rudy took a step to the front with leadership on terrorism.
