I just don’t have enough rage in me to debate the rabid liberals who seem to frequent the message boards.

We’ve been meaning to get some sort of electric fence for that…

Wow! Although I am realtively new to this web site and its “format” for discussing the issues of the day, I can already tell that I just don’t have enough rage in me to debate the rabid liberals who seem to frequent the message boards.

Funny, both conservatives and liberals have hung the boy out to dry before he has even been tried. I guess we should have known that T. R. would turn out bad given that his dad is a convicted “white supremacist.”

“In order for this to be “Republican family values” you would first have to consider Rudy a “republican”. Since he’s a baby killer among other things its safe to say hes not a Republican.

“Posted by Buffalo Joe”

Rudy is without question a Republican. For one, he is a partner in business with Bernie Kerik, who is currently negotiating a plea deal with the Feds. It is their partnership which made such a lucrative deal with the city of NY which resulted in the NYPD and NYFD unable to communicate with each other on 9/11.

And refuses to cut his ties with his good friend and priest — and child molestor.

And is a serial adulterer/divorcer, his montor in that regard being Newt Gingrich. Down to the deatils: Newt served divorce papers on his first wife while she was dying of cancer in a hospital bed. Rudy informed his most recent ex-wife that he was divorcing her via televised press conference, while his mistress stood at his side.

Guliani was running all over NY city on 9/11 not because he was being an “activist” “hero,” but because the Emergency Command Center was gone: despite the advice of experts, he had insisted it be installed in the WTC.

Abortion is not “baby killing” — except in the minds of the extreme right-wing lunatic fringe which views facts and science as Satan-inspired, thus reject their own “God”-given capacity for reason.

Romney is neither pro-life nor pro-choice; he is pro-getting elected, and will be whatever he perceives the voters want him to say.

Oh, yes: Rudy is a Republican. As is Romney.

I love you guys for bringing wit and sanity to this situation. When I got this news today, I was beside myself. I told my sister that there is absolutely nothing these people won’t do. I am so glad someone understands.

There are a couple of questions, though: What does Guiliani want out of this seemingly dumb deal? (any publicity is good publicity?) What does an 80 year old want out of this deal? I don’t understand.

Yep… he has officially lost his mind. this is possibly the worst move that he could have made under the circumstances. Viva Rudy’s cluelessness!!

Honestly; trading a crack head for his cracked out bigot father? Hell Kerik would have been a better option

Cousin Arthur has stepped in it this time. He will need the new bridge for a getaway route.

What ever happeed to the concept of shame in our public life? Time was, when scandal hit, the family would go into seclusion and refuse public comment. Nowadays they just step up and take the opportunity to continue the bad behavior.

Nothing wrong with shame. We could only wish that more people in politics knew something about it.

PLease, Rudy G is the only one that can lead this country forward, the rest of the field is there to keep people like you entertained and gives you something to talk about; with the exception of Huckleberry, now there’s a guy that calls it like he sees it!

As a former resident of Mt Pleasant with family still in the area I keep track of South Carolina politics and happenings.

Thankfully for the citizens of the state, Rudy’s national campaign isn’t working all that well. Adding in the energy of this 80 year old won’t resurrect the campaign.

With the Republican Party no longer representing real conservatives, the best hope for real change and inprovement for this country probably rests with a potential bi-partisan leader like Barack Obama. Of course, the chances of South Carolinians voting for the best candidate versus the Republican Party is almost zero. The chances of South Carolina voting for a (half white) black man are below zero.
