Editor's comments - Of course, the always vocal Ron Paul people despise the anti-Islamist/pro-Israel hawk Giuliani. It'll be interesting to see their reaction to these numbers. Also a surprise. Palin does rather well in this poll. Giuliani/Palin?

Somebody's missing. The second poll (the bottom list) is the kind of poll (vs. Obama) that I want to watch over time.

Rootie is a liberal and the Huckster isn’t running.

[fwdude]

Did they poll NY City “Republicans” for this joke?

[RockinRight]

There was no “unsure” so lack of name recognition basically meant “Obama” as an answer or “Not Obama” as an answer...hence him doing so well against Cain, for example.

Giuliai beating him was weird...he hasn’t made any serious noise has he?

[cripplecreek]

That’s one crappy poll. Too many people who aren’t running.

Julie-Annie is anti-Second Amendment.

These bull$hi+ internet blog polls are a waste time and conducted by incompetents.

[An American!]

Mitt Romney was ahead of the curve in stating his goal of homosexualizing the military.

Mitt Romney: "One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share." Do not support those that think that sodomy should be defined as "open and honest" or think that discriminating against these sick individuals should be something that we as a nation should worry about.
Same thing with murdering little babies:
In October 2002, campaigning for governorship of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney said he would “preserve and protect” a woman’s right to choose.

•Giuliani – 51% •Obama – 49%

•Obama – 51% •Romney – 49%

Is that for the democRAT nomination?

Giuliai is the LSM’s latest hot candidate du jour. Like their others, he will be just so much cold gruel in a few days.

It says it was a Harris poll.

Do you remember what happened on FR the last time in 2008 that we started getting some "pro-Rudy" posts...?

JimRob cleaned house...it took months for some to get over it..

Oh, Lawd, please..not again

“Also a surprise. Palin does rather well in this poll.”

No one dimwitted enough to be surprised by that should be writing for public consumption.

“Giuliani/Palin?”

Sorry, no gun-grabbing baby-killers need apply.

Palin is at the top of the ticket. Can’t think who should be second banana. It should be someone even more conservative and ballsy than Palin, so the demonrats won’t have an incentive to assassinate her.

[Jim Robinson]

The abortionist/gay rights pushing Rudy Giuliani is unwelcome on FR. If you wish to push his candidacy, please remove your self from FR first.

There will be NO campaign for Rudy (or any other abortionist) on FR!! That’s a guarantee you can take to the bank!!

You may very well be right; I don't know. What I DO know, however, is that priority #1 is to DEFEAT THE EVIL WANNA-BE DICTATOR in the White House with the heaviest-duty electoral firepower we can muster (the most conservative one who CAN WIN). I did not start this thread because I'm a Giuliani lover. I'm a freedom lover. I'll take my time and watch and see...

[Jim Robinson]

Not with Rudy. Keep pushing that abortionist bastard you get the ZOT!

[FreeKeys]

I’m hurt. I posted post #15 BEFORE I saw your post #14.

Got it. I accept your admonition and promise never to post anything that emphasizes Rudy again.
