Yeah, but lets check the numbers again when Thompson actually puts his hat into the ring. I think those numbers will change more than a little.

You’re just dreaming of the day there can be a liberal in the white house, aren’t you?

New poll suggesting less people are identifying themselves as Republican and more identifying themselves as independents....and most of those lean toward the Democrats.

It may be true that Rudy might be the only Republican with a chance in 08.

Looking for Reagan? It ain't 1980 in 08.

No, we're just crazy enough to assume that this is not 1980 and that this election has a different context and political reality.

Really, why is it so hard to imagine that all conservative voters ain't Kamikaze pilots?

“Really, why is it so hard to imagine that all conservative voters ain’t Kamikaze pilots?”

Why do you imagine that they are?

Because they’d have to be to support a flaming liberal like rudy.

You know what, you are flooding FR now with your Rudy threads. You post them within minutes of each other and then run away when someone challenges you. Seriously, are you getting paid?

And you STILL have not answered my question: if Rudy were running as a Dem, would you vote for him over Hunter, Thompson, Romney or McCain?

Or they'd have to be under the illusion that Reagan is still alive and that Carter is in office.

I assume by “surging” you mean recovering half of the 14 points he lost since early March.

Funny I asked the same question of the 3 or 4 angry anti-Rudy's.

And if Hunter, Thompson were running as Democrats, would YOU still vote for them?

Your hypotheticals are ridiculous and you know it — more evidence you can’t deal with reality.

Or really be liberals who want to push rudy on the party in order to make it more “moderate”.

Which accounts for about 10% of the members, here, according to the latest poll results.

He has peaked. He loses.

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.
KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.
GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Rudy Guiliani has marched in lockstep with liberals on affirmative action, gay rights, gay marriage, gun control, school prayer, tuition tax credits, liberal immigration policies, and he's reinforced it, time and time again. Just about everytime Rudy opens his mouth, offensive liberal words come pouring out. As Mayor, Rudy put liberals in high-paid city jobs, an indication what a Rudy WH would look like. Here then is Rudy in his own words:

--The New York State Liberal Party on its endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for Mayor: "When the Liberal Party Policy Committee reviewed a list of key social issues of deep concern to progressive New Yorkers, we found that Rudy Giuliani agreed with the Liberal Party's stance on a majority of such issues. He agreed with the Liberal Party's views on affirmative action, gay rights, gun control, school prayer and tuition tax credits. As Mayor, Rudy Giuliani would uphold the Constitutional and legal rights to abortion." N.Y.S. Liberal Party Endorsement Statement of Candidate Giuliani for Mayor of New York City April 8, 1989

--On the Republican Party: "Mr. Rockefeller represented 'a tradition in the Republican Party' I've worked hard to re-kindle - the Rockefeller, Javits, Lefkowitz tradition." Rudy Giuliani told the New York Times July 9, 1992

--Village Voice Interview with Guiliani: He was asked: "What kind of Republican Is [Giuliani]? A Reagan Republican?" Giuliani pauses before answering: "I'm a Republican." Village Voice January 24, 1989

--On Attending 1996 Republican Convention: Rudy expressed his pleasure when he wasn't invited to the Republican National Convention in San Diego. "If I take three or four days off from city business, I want to do it for a substantive purpose. It didn't seem to me any substantive purpose could be served by going to the Republican convention." said Rudy. Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Page 459, by Wayne Barrett

--On Barry Goldwater: Giuliani described John Kennedy as "great and brilliant. Barry Goldwater as an "incompetent, confused and sometimes idiotic man." New York Daily News, May 13, 1997

--On President Bill Clinton: Shortly before his last-minute endorsement of Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential election, Giuliani told the Post's Jack Newfield that "most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett.

--The Daily News quoted Giuliani as saying March 1996: "Whether you talk about President Clinon, Senator Dole.... The country would be in very good hands in the hands of any of that group." An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett.

If they were the democrats running against rudy the republican? In a heartbeat.

The party is merely the vehicle for principles. Principles should not be slaves to the party.

You mean the majority of Republicans have been hoodwinked?

Spare me.

It's. Not. 1980.
