After sitting out the "goober states", America's Mayor™ is ready to take off the gloves and start the fight in Florida, with a large contingent of older New York City transplants who are his core constituency.
While reading Red State, I found an ridicule-worthy piece penned by haystack.
There has been no success at any attempts I can find where a consensus is EVER going to be reached regarding the meaning, purpose, or application of Conservatism these days...so I'm not going to even try. What I can do is list the hot topics that matter to the majority of GOP'ers as best I can surmise. Not from any sterile poll, mind you, but from the thoughts and sentiments around the 'net and the blogs, and the "off-off-Broadway" news sites.
Immigration, Economy, Security, Entitlements, War, and Personal Liberties - in that order - seem to comprise the bulk of things that are most likely to get voters to their feet and to the polls when called upon to do so.
Note to class: abortion, religious freedom (being allowed to SAY Christmas in December) flag burning, homosexual marriage, and Social Security reform are not there. And, our guns are not in danger of being taken out of our gun vaults any time soon, either. So, let's get it said...
Get over it.
Here's the translation. "Note to class", listen to your betters. You Jebus-loving goobers had better get into line, or the daughter of the Devil, Hillary Clinton, will become President of the United States.
Sorry to disappoint, professer haystack, but we Jebus-loving goobers have slightly different priorities than you and the self-anointed saviors of the GOP. This is the primary season. This is where all Republicans (and some non-Republicans) get to pick their nominee. I don't vote based on polling data. I vote based on the Gospel of life taught by my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.
The more I know Guiliani, the slimier he looks. The latest debacle of using tax payer financed security for his adulterous trysts with his now wife is just the latest. The future President has the possibility of appointing three Supreme Court Justices whose affect may be felt for a generation, most notably on the abortion issue which I consider paramount.
Now that Fred has fallen, my sights will go on the next best candidate. This candidate is not Rudy Giuliani. He is my last candidate. Were he nominated, I would go into the voting booth, pull his lever, then go home and brush my teeth for about an hour to get rid of the horrible taste.
But until that moment, I will fight a Giuliani candidacy with every fiber of my being.
And professor haystack, if you don't want to lose about 30% of the electorate, you'd be advised to keep a place at the table for us Jebus-lovin' goobers.
