polls indicate that Rudy Giuliani is the frontrunner to be the next Republican presidential nominee.

When did he write this article?? He better re-check his data.

I don't know why I bothered reading past that.

The Social Cons had GWB as their man.....

What a crock. Bush talked the talk to broaden his appeal, but he is a neocon and a business/oil man conservative through and through, which is why he is happy to let those illegal aliens through.

Don’t blame the social cons for the guy that the corporate cons put up.

I am pro life. I am opposed to any form of partial birth abortion. I am opposed to any form of state/fed funding of abortion.

Having said that, there is no candidate in the Country that is going to give the pro life movement what it wants.

The best case scenario for the pro life movement here and now, is that Roe V Wade would be overturned. Once that happens, states like New York and New Jersey will still have abortion, states like Nebraska and Alabama will ban it.

Your point about southern Dems was interesting. I've witnessed my two sisters, former southern Republicans, supporting social conservative Dems recently. One even changed her party affiliation from GOP to Dem. I haven't given it much thought since I wrote off all Dems many years ago. I continue to believe the GOP has not become so deficient of morals that Guiliani will be their nominee but I am prepared for a Dem-lead government should the GOP make such a mistake.

I've stayed away from FR for several weeks but based on what I'm seeing here today, my guess is that Republicans will continue their downward slide until they regain their moral footing.

Soon as I decide it will be reflected in my posts, and my tag line.

I believe you but you also need a decent and upstanding leader or it won’t work. Nothing is black and white.

He ran on a pro-life platform and support for faith based initatives....

Of course he “ran on it”, thats easy. But did he cut my tax dollars funding to abortion providers? Roe vs Wade doesn’t demand we fund the murder. Did he stand up and blast the courts when they demanded the removal of the 10 commandments from courthouses, even though Congress had passed no law regarding an establishment of religion?

Huckabee has surged because he won a couple of debates and he’s got evangelical support. If a quick rise can happen to the liberal pro-life evangelical Huckster, it can happen to the conservative pro-life evangelical Hunter.

According to Intrade, the winner of the December 12th GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.

“Of course that little thing the WOT isn’t important so the thumpers are going to give us Huckabee”

Not if this “thumper” has anything to say about it.
