Rudy should be president

Very strange for her to be talking like that. This may change the dynamics of the election considerably and with something big like that a lot of different things are possible.

wow - you are very perceptive
You notice the little things that Hillary does...the tiny triangulations...the itty bitty moves towards a "moderate" center position.
The rise of Obama Hussein's candidacy only makes a 3rd party more likely. He is extremely popular with the radical left. It is the radical left that decides what candidates will win the Democratic primaries. If Hillary Clinton can't beat Obama in the Democratic primaries then she would be forced to run for president as a 3rd party candidate.

We need solid right wing conservatives to MAKE the laws. I would like Guiliani to be president, but we need people to keep him in check.

To be honest, I don't think Giuliani will ever survive the GOP primaries next year.
He'd have better luck running for VP on a new 3rd party ticket with Hillary Clinton.

Ok, he's a left-wing police.

Not to defend Rudy, but I don't think he'd be dumb enough to try and pass a federal gay marriage or gay unions bill. He seems ambiguous about the illegal alien issue. Supposedly before he was a mayor, he was against sanctuary laws but then when he became mayor, he was for those laws.

--- Quote from: Din Rodef on March 16, 2007, 11:01:53 PM ---Do not assume that there will only be 2 major parties in the 2008 election.
There is a distinct possibility that Hillary Clinton will start her own 3rd party that merges "moderate" Democrats with "moderate" Republicans.
Check out this site: www.unity08.com
The plans are already in the works to build a serious 3rd party for 2008. There is precedent for this...KADIMA in Israel merged Labour with Likud....The time is right for a similar thing to happen in America between the Republicans and Democrats.

She's forming a backup plan in case she loses the Democratic nomination to Barak?

We CANNOT vote for a pro-open-borders GOP candidate like Guiliani. If we get a president like Rudy that gives amnesty to illegal aliens then they will vote the conservatives out of office all over the country. Example: California used to be a solidly Republican state. Reagan came from California. In 1986 amnesty was given to 6 million illegal aliens and the state turned liberal Democrat. Currently, there is no hope for California to ever be Conservative Republican again.
The exact same disaster that happened in California will happen to the entire country if the GOP doesn't support an immigration enforcement candidate in 2008.
Currently, there are 3 anti-illegal immigration candidates. They are Duncan Hunter of San Diego...Tom Tancredo of Colorado....and Ron Paul of Texas.
Duncan Hunter has voted for massive government spending in the past (like the prescription drug benefit. He is conservative on the immigration issue and on defense, but he is guilty of spending like a liberal.
Ron Paul of Texas has excellent fiscal conservative credentials...BUT...he is old (70s) and he is socially liberal (libertarian)
Tom Tancredo is clearly the best candidate of the bunch. Tancredo is a fiscal and social conservative. He founded the Immigration Reform Caucus in Congress. I happen to know that he is a very devout Christian, solidly pro-Israel and anti-muslim.
Tancredo MUST be the GOP candidate in 2008.

Why did Reagan enforce amnesty? Was it foolish compromise he made with the Democrat controlled congress because he thought it would enhance his legacy?
What these presidents don't realize is that they shouldn't attempt foolish policies just because they think their legacy would be improved. Bill Clinton, could pay off a historian to write a book that praises his presidency and then there will be some people who will think he was a great president. So presidents could try and get themselves a positive legacy buy just buying off someone to write a positive book about them. I wouldn't be surprised if Clinton hasn't already done this.
