The Dems and the RINOs would love to put the 2nd Amendment folks completely outside the two party framework forever.

Vote for Giuliani and you'll help them do it.

The NRA will feel as friendless and unwelcome in Washington for four years (minimum), as Giuliani did during the 10 minutes he spoke to the NRA.

99% of all politicians are evil. Republican, Democrat, whatever. EVIL.

Politicians that are running for President are doing so for their own agenda, not ours. We can only hope that our elected officials' agendas are close enough to ours. The only problem is even if their agenda is close to ours, there are enough other politicians that can squash it.

Yes I have lost all faith in our electoral system, our politicians and our government as a whole. I could vote my entire life and its not going to change a damn thing. Now if I had a few million that I could "donate", then maybe something would get done. But sadly I don't have that kind of cash to get a voice in our current government.

Let me be honest with you:  I LIKE Ron Paul.  I'm glad he's actually running this time around.

I think he's an honest man.  I KNOW he's a strict Constitutionalist and as the Constitution
is the basis of all of our most cherished freedoms,  I know he's our best running supporter
of our freedoms.      I generally agree with his positions and policies.    

He's honest enough to vote against a bill that would benefit US but is still a technical
violation of the Constitution.   And he's done so in the past.   I really respect that level
of INTEGRITY and HONESTY.

And I wouldn't mind seeing US policy shift a little toward a more isolationist position,
quite frankly.    I believe that the US should restrict its international affairs strictly to
business with everyone and military assistance to our ALLIES who ASK for it.  And...
NO FOREIGN AID.   That money is better spent here at home.


I MIGHT vote for him in the primaries.  


But he will NOT get my vote if he doesn't win the nomination.


I will vote only for the winner of the Republican nomination as that person will in FACT be the ONLY viable candidate.


MOST Republicans will ONLY vote for the nominee.  This fact alone means that if you
do not want Hillary or Obama to become our next President (and either of them would
be a monumental disaster for this country, make NO mistake about that)  then you too
will vote only for the nominee even if he's not your personal favorite or mine either.


And if that nominee turned out to be Rudy,  hell, YES, I'd vote for him!     He may be
the worst Republican running but he'd STILL be far better for this country than either
Hillary OR Obama, and you damned well would know that if you were paying attention!


CJ



I think we are on the same page here man, I really just dont think I can vote for Rudy, I mean I really hate that guy.


And voting for him encourages the party to offer 12 more Rudy clones the next election.

If Giuliani is the best the GOP can deliver then it's time for me to kiss the GOP goodbye, because they will no longer be the party for me.


Agreed - if Guliani gets it than the Republican Party can kiss its Conservative and Christian electoral base goodbye. I'll be interested to see how retarded the Republican Party leadership becomes this time around If the Republican Party seeks its own internal destruction, it'll show in this next election.

Like Guliani, our current President supports a renewal of the "Assault Weapons" Ban and amnesty for illegal immigrants. Yet some here will still be bewildered at the thought of people ditching the Republican Party over PRINCIPLE.

Voting for "the party line" no matter what is perhaps the dumbest concept ever originated. I'll stay off of the RINO short bus.

It is the HEIGHT of irresponsibility to the franchise to FAIL to vote for whom you WANT to, if it is based on sound judgment.  I do not adhere to, and will not be subjected to the ASSININE belief that one should vote for "who's gonna maybe win".  I owe the Republican party NOTHING. and NO PARTY will receive a flat vote from me.  Your request is beyond silly, it is an affront to the responsibility of voting.  I will vote for whom I wish to, the consequences will be what they may be.  To simply vote for the candidate is tacit approval for them to continue serving up spineless jellyfish RINOs.  I am so damned sick of the lot of 'em I could puke.
