they link to greenwald so i dont have to. i cant imagine a worse president than rudy (other than the one we have). and despite the national polls which having him beating the three top dems head to head (but not state to state although that may be true as well), the rethugs are still pushing fred thompson hard in the media (or the media is pushing him hard on the wingnuts) which leads one to believe they dont really have much confidence in rudy long-term.
He's just not one of them, and unlike McCain, I don't think Ruddy can force himself to kiss ass. So thankfully I don't think he'll get through the primaries. But if he did I think he could possibly beat Hillary. And I think he might turn out to be worse than Bush. He is truly frightening.
Agreed. I can't find the quote now where he said favored torture, indefinite detainment etc but as president would use these tools infrequently.
Oh, duh--it was the Greenwald piece.
thompson gets a d- on the jesus test too. noones christian enough, not even chocolate jesus. but newts ok becaue hes repented. americans are so fucking stupid. third world, here we come!! "In his conversation with Mr. Gilgoff, Dr. Dobson was attempting to highlight that to the best of his knowledge, Sen. Thompson hadn't clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him. Dr. Dobson told Mr. Gilgoff he had never met Sen. Thompson and wasn't certain that his understanding of the former senator's religious convictions was accurate. Unfortunately, thesequalifiers weren't reported by Mr. Gilgoff. We were, however, pleased to learn from his spokesperson that Sen. Thompson professes to be a believer.
"With regard to Mr. Gingrich, while Dr. Dobson spoke positively about his intelligence and his ability to articulate conservative values, he expressed concern about the former speaker's past moral failures. You may be aware that Mr. Gingrich recently appeared on a Focus on the Family broadcast to discuss America's Christian heritage and the threat posed by radical Islam. Prior to the interview, Dr. Dobson asked Mr. Gingrich if he'd be willing to talk about his family life on the air because he felt our friends deserved an explanation. Those who listened to the exchange heard nothing indicating that Dr. Dobson excused Mr. Gingrich's past indiscretions. The former speaker was offered a chance to address the subject openly and honestly, and he did so, stating, 'I have turned to God and have gotten on my knees ... and sought God's forgiveness.' Dr. Dobson firmly believes that Scripture teaches there is redemption available through Christ for those who confess their sins -- were it not so, we'd all be in a world of trouble. Of course, only the Lord knows the condition of individual hearts.
