CBN: The Gathering Storm Against Giuliani
Here's a heads up for the Giuliani campaign. It's coming. It's coming very soon. Beware. Run for your lives! As I write this, there is plotting going among grassroots religious conservatives in New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina and many other states. They want to take down Rudy and they plan to do everything in their power to do it. I received this email from an influential Republican activist who, lets just say, has an extensive mailing list among the conservative grassroots network. Here's what he told me:

"If Rudy Giuliani is put up for President by the Stupid Party, I will work 40 hours a week as a volunteer to destroy his candidacy for President; that is how important the prolife position -- and other social issues-- is to many people of faith. Sure, the Evil Party might get control of the White House again, and the Stupid Party might therefore go the way of the Whig Party in the early 1800's, but so be it. The Republican Party must NEVER nominate a pro-abortion candidate. That would be far worse than the Republican Party putting up a pro-slavery candidate in the mid-1800's. That is how strong many of us feel David. Many of us will also be putting in 40 hours a week during the primary/caucus season to defeat Giuliani at all costs."

Religious conservatives going after the Republican noiminee? Hallelujah!

7. I was asked if I wanted to attend a leadership conference
This was for work.

Some of the speakers looked interesting but I saw both Giuliani and Colin Powell on the list. I opted to not attend - I hardly find it possible to be inspired by a man took the lies to the UN in order to justify an illegal war and a man who is so insensitive to others that his own children won't even talk to that person.

3. "Volunteer to destroy." "Defeat at all costs."
Can't you just feel the love from a guy who loves you only before you are born and when you are on life support.

4. 2008 is getting easier and easier.
I would thank these wackos, but somehow I just can't bring myself to do that.

5. Thank God! I don't want that obnoxious bastard as my President
The reason that Giuliani looked so great on 9/11 is due to the fact that Bush totally fucked that one up which opened up an opporunity for someone in the right position to step forward and shine. Giuliani did a great job on 9/11 but I still don't want him as my president.

His own Fire Departmen in NYC will not support Giuliani - mainly because of the cuts that were made during his administration. How the hell can you cut your first line of defense when you know the risk that these men and women put forth everyday (not just for terrorist attacks).

Plus I think his personal life is an issue. This is one of the reasons why I felt Russ Feingold would not make a suitable candidate for president (although my attitude towards Feingold are much more positive than Giuliani). Both of these men have been divorced twice although with Giuliani there was a very public affair that occured while he was mayor (I have no clue why Russ is unlucky in love. I'm sure if there was an affair involved he would have been slandered through the mud).

And finally - your kids say alot about you and can give you an idea of the type of leadership you might expect from a future president. Bush's twins partied their asses off like there wasn't a care in the world and Bush ran this country like he didn't have a care in the world about what happened. Chelsea Clinton showed caring compassion and intelligence, something we saw from Clinton.

Well Giuliani's own son Andrew has already admitted to the press that his relationship with his father has been strained for years. If Guiliani can't even make an effort with his own flesh and blood but instead writes him off as 'Nothing I can do about it' - well I can assure you this is not someone I want as my president

10. Agree with others here. Giuliani should never be let near real power
anymore. Especially near all-power.

Let the conservatives rip his flesh.

12. Doesn't matter; they will vote for him in the general.
Republics do that: they line up and vote for their nominee. They might hold their noses, but they do it. I suspect that Rudy will be their nominee regardless of the fringe RW nut groups - he is just so electable - the swing voters will love him!! And if he puts Thompson on the ticket with him that will cement the white male segment to them.

And even if Rudy failed, we would have either McCain or Romney - if you think they would be easy to beat, I have some swamp land for you to look at on top of Mt Mitchell...

13. I think the fundies might just stay home ...
Some of the ones I've talked to personally, who were, until that moment, blissfully ignorant of Rudy's actual positions, upon learning of them, stated that they would just stay home before they'd vote for someone like that. Same went for The Mittster -- they refuse to vote for someone who "converted" to pro-life (their term, not mine) simply to run for Prez.

And they sure as hell won't be doing any grassroots work for the GOP.

14. I hope you are right,
however, Thompson on the ticket will wink and nod them into voting for Rudy; that is the reason he is surfacing now.

These whistling past the graveyard posts always make me uneasy. The republiks know more about winning or stealing elections than we do.

15. But Rudy has promised Dobson and his ilk he'd appoint "strict constructionist" judges.
Perhaps the right wing nut ball base does not believe him.

16. If not McCain or Guiliani, then who? Romney?!?
I think flip floppin' Mitt is a bit of a gamble for the fundies.
Look for Brownback to score a surprisingly strong showing in Iowa.

17. Brownback might just be a force to be reckoned with
in the Republican party, that is....;)
