The real question is "is he conservative ENOUGH?" I think on law and order issues, fiscal responsibility, and the war on terror, he is likely to be even more conservative than Bush. I think he will appoint tough law and order judges, in spite of the sliming he has been getting in that regard. Certainly, a lot of true conservatives will have to swallow hard to support him. In the end, I sincerely hope the 2006 wake-up call will persuade enough social conservatives to accept him as a compromise before we all become dinosaurs.

I would like to know what conservative is. No seriously, I oppose gay marriage, but I am open to civil union. I oppose abortion morally, but accept it as the law. I do not support any type of gun restrictions, the 2nd admendment is clear enough.

I guess if he can right the ship, then let him steer it.

If everyone in the conservative movement would take a breath and look at where we are heading you all would see the evangelicls, are tarnished, the moderate go along Repubs, are gone, what we need is a leader.

Now if you want Hillary to be your leader, sit out, not a chance for me!

Oh by the way, those guns I bought during the Reagan admin, I still have them. The Clintons did not take them away.

I would like to know what conservative is... the 2nd admendment is clear enough.

You make a good point. "Conservative" is a relative term. In spite of that, I hesitate to apply it to Giuliani. You might have a lot of valid reasons to support Rudy, but his being conservative isn't a very good one IMHO. There are others in the race who more precisely fit that term.

Is the 2nd Amendment clear enough? It says "Congress shall pass no law...." Giuliani's position is that it does not prohibit states and counties from passing laws. Just another ambiguity to ponder.
