Just like what will happen to his campaign the more conservatives learn about this LIBERAL.

Could someone with medical knowledge explain to me what conditions require an abortion to save a mother’s life?

IANAD, but one condition which could kill the mother is an ectopic pregnancy. In that case, the baby starts to develop in the fallopian tube rather than in the uterus where it normally would. AIUI, the condition would be fatal to both the mother and the baby if an abortion were not performed.

In the end Obama will be Hillary’s running mate. Or will it be Rudy?

[no dems]

I can’t help but wonder if the Rudy supporters will jump ship in November of ‘08 and vote for the Dem candidate out of spite if their man doesn’t get the nomination.

Whaddya folks think?

[no dems]

I think that by the time it’s over, Hllary and Obama will hate each other so that he will NOT be her VEEP.

I’ve thought for some time that Obama will be Hillary’s running mate. They left will think this will work because they have two minorities together on one ticket. The left will think it’s social nirvana time; the right will be looking for the substance of what they’ll work on. So will the middle, but I doubt they’ll want an Clinton/Obama ticket in the end. Sociologists and academics like when we have litmus tests for choosing people; the bulk of the country will, in the end, I think, choose substance over a show.

As for Rudy, I wrote to his campaign saying that although I liked much about him, there’s no way I’m voting for someone who “chooses” to allow 1M people a year be dismembered while alive (and that’s just in this country). That’s 2,740 human lives a day. The left ran a legislative end-run around the Constitution because they knew it wouldn’t pass muster. I want a president who knows the difference between right and wrong and isn’t afraid to say so.

Thank you, is an ecoptic pregnancy the most common condition where an abortion is required to save the mother’s life? If so I wonder how many ecoptic pregnancies occur?

[little jeremiah]

You’re on a roll today!

Looks as though Giuliani is pau hana.

No more, finito, ended, finished, over and done with.

[wagglebee]

The best chance for a conservative to be elected president is to get leftists like Rudy out of the race early.

Thank you, is an ecoptic pregnancy the most common condition where an abortion is required to save the mother’s life? If so I wonder how many ecoptic pregnancies occur?

While I really don't know the numbers offhand, I'd guess that it's a rather small percentage of pregnancies. Applying a small percentage across the total number of pregnancies in this country every year, though, the absolute number is probably pretty high.

In all likelihood, there are almost certainly some number of other medical conditions that genuinely endanger the life of the mother. Sorry, I just don't know what they might be.

I lived in NYC half my life. I think I understand Rudy. Being a Republican in NYC is like being a socialist in Louisiana. Any R in NYC must go left, and deep. In a race against Hilary, he most likely wins. His strongest suit right now, IMO, is leadership. He showed that after 9/11 by taking control of the city and stiffing the sheik from Saudi, telling him to shove his 2 mil dollar check. I think the Voters desperately want leadership, and I think he's got it. Forget any Senators running, they lead nothing. Last one we elected was JFK, he'd have been better off if he lost (which he probably did, except for daddy kennedy's money).

So, there you have it. Leadership takes the hill. But I for one will not vote for him, we all know he's too liberal for me.

[little jeremiah]

If he wins the nomination (by who knows what behind the scenes machinations), he will lose the election.

I can see Dems crossing over to vote for him in Republican primaries for that precise reason.

His “leadership” that you cite is a couple of instances - giving the sheik his check, and having face time after 9-11. He’s a liberal, and most Republicans just can’t and won’t stomach his leftist positions.

I would never, ever vote for him. The lesser of two evils just ain’t gonna cut it any more.

[teldon30]

I don’t miss them in the slightest.

Rudy IS an honest liberal. But his stands set him far apart from our party's mainstream. I don't believe "electability" is the most important criterion for choosing our party's presidential nominee. The Democrats did that with Kerry and they fell short. I want our party's nominee to defend our philosophical principles and our party's platform. If we're not true to who we are - we deserve to have the American people repudiate us.

Giuliani is a transparent liberal whose only goal is to get elected President to feed his ego and foster his liberal agenda.

Looking at his position on abortion, a person might be deluded into thinking Giuliani is a Libertarian.

But he is not. He is a liberal fascist.
