[...] Yes, I’m famous for my far right views. To answer his question: no, of course we’re not trying to Kos-ify him, not only because we don’t have anything remotely near the power needed to sink any major candidate (and neither does Kos, as Joe Lieberman could tell you) but no one has any reason to want to sink him. He may well be our best shot at winning. But if he’s done something wrong, we’re going to call him on it. Just like we do with Rudy, just like we do with Mitt. As for the merits of knocking him for hiring Spence Abraham, yes, of course, it’s entirely possible that Abraham won’t have any influence at all over Fred’s immigration policies. But given the long history of GOP betrayal on that issue, you can’t fault MM et al. for worrying. [...]

Laura Ingraham, who is very savvy in these matters, and has a heck of a lot more intelligence than most(90%)..Says Rudy is weak on the immigration and border issue…and I agree with Laura, too weak on the most important issue of our time, doesn’t get my support or primary vote..

[...] HotAir reports: The debate Monday night was no worse than the three previous ones and even if it hadn’t been, having to endure two hours of talking snowmen is worth it given the endless mileage the Democrats would get from them skipping out. “The GOP can’t face the people, the GOP can’t handle unorthodox questions, the GOP has no sense no fun” — it’s a PR disaster in the making. Although I’m not surprised it’s Rudy who’s leading the way. Formats that don’t lend themselves to pat answers aren’t his strong suit. [Read More] [...]

Rudy may not be everything you want but we need to look at who can draw the independants and actually get elected. He can beat Hillary. His baggage is no worse than hers , actually her husband lowered the bar so far that anyone should be able to qualify. Guilani has the moxie to take on the liberal lies- can’t imagine anyone not believing that the democrats plan to raise taxes- where have you been obviously not listening to the comments they have. The only way th pay for the big spending they plan to to raise taxes a lot! They will take their money off shore so they don’t have to pay. That’s what Soros and Kennedy have done.

If AP does not update this page to withdraw his slam of Rudy, I’m going to start believing that he is just trying to stir up the natives with knowingly outlandish claims.

[...] Posted by Ron Coleman on July 26th, 2007 I’m not sure what it is about Rudy — his relative weakness on social conservative issues; his personal peccadilloes; the old combover. It could be he has had a bad experience with a prosecutor; many have. But my friend Al la Pundit over on Hot Air just plain has it in for Rudy Giuliani, the official candidate of (social conservative) Likelihood of Success and indeed the candidate most likely to succeed — Fred Thompson fantasies notwithstanding — against whomever the Democrats cough up in November.

Okay AP:

You’ve heard from the conservative masses; how about revisiting your (non-existent) point?

It is readily apparent that the vast majority here are ready for a conservative leader who will not play pussy foot with these bastards. W has bent over and taken it up the ass from the opposition so many times he’s starting to like it.
These leftists pricks have for years hidden their true and final agenda from emasculating the military to redistirbution of wealth to complete nanny state control of every aspect of American life. They need to be called on it, loudly and frequently.

I’m not a Rudy guy, but God bless him for taking of the gloves.

Let Rudy go for the jugular. It’s long overdue.

Exactly! Enough of this foolish attempt to have bi partisanship. All that means is we give up our principals and they get all of their programs and laws. Enough.

Another windfall profits tax is a tax on us all Hillary has been quite clear about her desire to commit such a crime.

Not sure why you have such a hard on about Rudy but this post is not up to your usual standards. You got it almost completely wrong.

Take care! Take care! You are probably right in your assessment but we conservatives don’t want to paint our own side badly as the the left and the MSM has painted the war and allow them to use those tactics against us. “Damning with faint praise” is not the road to take in my opinion. We need to paint our side as always positive(whether we agree or not)and as frequently as we can. Perhaps we need to start “spinning” more than we are?? That seems to be the way the current game is played.

Yep, I have an opinion, and mine is that AP’s anti-anyone but Fred stance is irritating…and puzzling.

Luckily for AP he has Hollowpoint cheering him on.

Just realized something…. Some of you guys have such an obnoxious manner of stating things on these GOP Presidential Candidate threads that you irritate me to the point that I lose my perspective and start imagining that ANY politician might not be skilled at obfuscation and have many episodes of prevarication.

Note to Self: Endeavor to retain perspective no matter how annoyed you become with other commentators ways of expressing their opinions; You can be pretty obnoxious at times too.

Well, we’ve seen how well “raising the tone”, and letting the left monopolize the narrative with their over-the-top rhetoric has worked out for President Bush.

Somebody’s gotta push back, and I’m glad to see Rudy come out swinging.

Why would Hillary! and the Messiah want to expand the military? So they can deploy it across the CONUS planting trees to fight global warming?

For instance: remember in November 2006, when the Dems were saying “If we won, of course we would NEVER compromise funding for the troops.” That lasted all of what, three months? Remember all their ethics promises that evaporated like morning dew?

Hey Csdeven; Have you called Duncan Hunter a liar yet?

(I’m just trying to keep score, and I’m reasonably sure you have called nearly everyone (other than your guy, Mr. Perfect; Romney) a liar so far, and I’d hate to have missed your analysis on Hunter’s veracity.)
