Buck, you and I had this discussion in another thread. I’ve seen no particular evidence of his being a “Conservative” on taxes (you can’t be a Social liberal and a tax cutter, because high taxes are required to fund liberal policies), although as Mayor, he could only deal with local taxation, far different than a Governor.
Right to life is absurd, he’s militantly pro-abort (and a Catholic pro-abort to add insult to injury !) and pro gay rights. You were making a really ridiculous leap of faith expecting him to appoint judges that are 180 degrees in opposition to his expressely stated beliefs... that makes no sense, Buck.
Like I said, he’s about the equivalent of Joe Lieberman. Right on law & order, some on national defense, but he’s got another problem of being an illegals squish, and that gravely negates his national defense credentials because they ARE our biggest national security risk. But, Buck, you can’t claim he’s a Conservative, because he isn’t one. Being right on one issue and wrong on everything else isn’t Conservative. You’d be hard pressed to find many liberal Democrats in Texas as liberal as Rudy (but to his credit, at least he didn’t shamelessly LIE his ass off as Slick Willard did in claiming to come around on all this Conservative policy, but the judicial pledges were hard to swallow).
Sorry, Buck.
Yep—we’ve had the discussion before, and I stand by my assertion. Right to life? His USSC appointments would have led to a rapid overthrow of Rv.W and more. I regret the lack of strategic thinking that many conservatives displayed last year. On a personal note, thanks for keeping it civil unlike some of the others here.
