Yes Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Fred Thompson all skipped the debate citing “scheduling conflicts”. However, Giuliani was in Ft. Lauderdale (where the debate was held) just hours before the debate and Thompson was in Florida over the weekend and is due back Tuesday. Now scheduling conflicts can be a legitimate excuse, but when they didn’t even answer … Read More
I’m Worried About Republicans
An LA Times/Bloomberg survey asked Republican voters about supporting a GOP candidate who didn’t agree with their view on abortion: About 30 percent of GOP voters in each state said they would only vote for a candidate who shared their views and about 60 percent in each state said they would be willing to consider a candidate who takes a … Read More
Pro-Life Republicans Beware
I know that there are some pro-lifers seriously considering supporting Giuliani for President if it is the only way to defeat Hillary in 2008. But they may want to consider what a Giuliani presidency could mean for the future of the party. According to this article in the Wall Street Journal it could be the beginning of the end of … Read More
No No No No NO!
Rudy Giuliani’s views on abortion are NOT acceptable. But some GOP leaders seem to think so. Fellow GOP vying for the Presidential nomination next year, Rep. Tom Tancredo, told the Associated Press: God knows we don’t want the alternative, being whoever the Democrats have in place. I repeat: a pro-abortion Republican is NOT better, and in fact is worse, than … Read More
Will the Republican Party Lose its Soul?
It seems to me that many on the right are so frightened by the thought of a second Clinton presidency that they are willing to back any candidate who has the potential to beat her in the general election. Don’t get me wrong, I am equally as terrified by this woman, but what frightens me more is the nomination of … Read More
We Must Win This Culture War
Check out this fabulous article about Sam Brownback in the Washington Post. It does an excellent job of describing who Sen. Brownback really is as a person. We could use more people like this in politics. The entire article is more than worth your time, but here is a little bit: During the 2004 Republican convention, Brownback told a closed-door … Read More
I Fear This Man’s Nomination
On Wednesday Rudy Giuliani told CNN that he still supports public funding of abortion because: “Ultimately, it’s a constitutional right, and therefore if it’s a constitutional right, ultimately, even if you do it on a state by state basis, you have to make sure people are protected.” So apparently he also thinks that abortion is a constitutional right, which suggests … Read More
Brownback at CPAC

Mitt Romney 21% 2 .Rudy Giuliani 17% 3. Sam Brownback 15% 4. Gingrich 14% 5. McCain 12% It is a very a positive sign that he came out ahead of Gingrich and McCain … Read More
And the Winner Is…
Missouri Right to Life finally voted and endorsed Mike Huckabee. For an organization whose sole concern is life issues there simply is no other choice. Two are glaringly unacceptable – Rudy, who is pro-abortion, and McCain, who wants to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research – and Romney screwed up when he said he supports scientific research on … Read More
Proving My Point About Republicans
In recent years, retired Sen. John Danforth, no fan of the “religious right” wing of the Republican party, has been a consistent disappointment to me as a Republican, culminating in his unwavering support for human cloning, ESC research and the passage of last year’s Amendment 2. Now he is spending his time encouraging like-minded moderate Republicans to run for office. … Read More
