Yes, so they gave us a pro-life Liberal and McCain.

California’s bay area

That’s “Bay Area.” Pelosi notwithstanding, the Bay Area’s my home turf, my first Congressman being Bush cabinet appointee Norm Mineta and my second fiscally ultra-conservative Republican Tom Campbell. It’s not solid leftists here, though the closer to San Francisco you get, the most the concentration of lefties increases, to the point that you probably don’t want to be too loud about any conservative tendencies once within the city limits….

And the Yankees/their fans. Don’t forget those :-D.

They don’t scare me.

Mets fans, on the other hand…

He was looking so strong last year. What happened?

AbaddonsReign on January 23, 2008 at 10:34 AM

The Republican base realised he’s just a pro war liberal?

Grow up. Traffic and parking are reason enough to avoid NY without invoking Marx.

I simply do not have time to correct the nonsense.

By all means. Your time is money. Spend it elsewhere.

Get beyond your regional prejudices, inferiority complexes, and I’m gonna say it — ethnic bias, and ask yourself — what is preferable, a hawk that’s fiscally conservative and a competent executive or a hawk that votes for tax increases and compromises with the likes of Kennedy and Feingold.

Mitt, god bless him, may win the nomination if Rudy stays in to syphon votes away from McCain, but will not win in November. Once Rudy is gone, its a cake walk for McCain.

I want the guy Mookie and Osama DON’T want. That’s either Rudy or St John. If I have to, I’ll hold my nose and vote for McCain. I just don’t think Romney’s got the mean streak I want. Oh…I’m glad I didn’t have to mention Huckabee. Get the f–k goin’, Huck.

There are few jobs that are anything like running a country, and Mayor of NYC is one of them. Rudy’s justified in using it as an example.

Big S on January 23, 2008 at 12:46 PM

But not as his blueprint. I guess we must agree to disagree.

It should be obvious why the Dems are supporting Romney’s campaign.

bwahahaaha you’re kidding I hope

after SC and Nevada there were huge headlines for McCain win, tiny print for Mitt’s

If you have evidence of MSM pushing Romney as front runner etc let’s see it.

a communist as mayor

Language like this has no value. Bloomberg is not very conservative; he was a lifelong democrat before running for mayor. But to even use the word communist in relation to a billionaire is plainly useless.

Grow up. Traffic and parking are reason enough to avoid NY without invoking Marx.

the basic knowledge that running an entire nation is different than a city

Not so much in the case of NYC. The population of 8,000,000 plus is larger than the majority of states, and larger than many countries (Switzerland, for example.) It’s one of the top 5 economies in the USA, and the third or fourth largest government. The Mayor is in charge of about 40,000 police officers, which is about the manpower that your average three-star army general has under his control. There are few jobs that are anything like running a country, and Mayor of NYC is one of them. Rudy’s justified in using it as an example.

If you like the rest of the answer, take the voluntary invocation of NYC as strong evidence that he’ll pursue similar policies in Washington.

Big S on January 23, 2008 at 12:30 PM

…and you’ve missed MY point. I don’t care if the answer sounds like a good idea or not. I want him to demonstrate to me the basic knowledge that running an entire nation is different than a city. If he can’t demonstrate his ability to put his paradigm as mayor behind him because of the massive scale difference of being the POTUS, I don’t want him in there.

The reason the candidates hate Romney is because he has wielded his millions spinning half truths about them and injecting poison into the campaign. This from a man who has changed his mind on more issues over the past decade than that other well known flip-flopper from Massachusetts. At least with the other candidates you know what they really think. It should be obvious why the Dems are supporting Romney’s campaign.

MadisonConservative on January 23, 2008 at 12:21 PM

You’ve entirely missed my point. What I meant was that you should listen to what he says, rather than tuning out because he mentions his record in his answers. If you like the rest of the answer, take the voluntary invocation of NYC as strong evidence that he’ll pursue similar policies in Washington.

What action, if any, could he take that would help gun enthusiasts to trust him more?

Big S on January 23, 2008 at 12:07 PM

The only way I’d trust him more on this issue would be for him to buy a gun of his own, and use it- on himself. That’s the only way I could be certain that he wouldn’t try and screw gun owners yet again.

Ah, links.

just don’t pay attention to that part of the answers;

Big S on January 23, 2008 at 12:17 PM

Okay, I’m sorry, but did you really just type that? Did I really just read that?

No offense intended here, but that has got to be one of the top five things you don’t say about a candidate to make others vote for him. That one made me laugh out loud.

Fred Thompson I can listen to all of what he says without worry. Same goes for Duncan Hunter. Same almost always goes for Mitt. “Don’t listen to what my candidate is saying” is what the Hucksterites tell people. Well, when he’s not lying through his teeth.
