Why do most conservatives want Giuliani (a pro-choice liberal) to win the office?

Answer 1

I'm on the fence.

But...Guiliani is a proven effective manager of government, and that is what the job of the President is, after all...Chief Executive.

Too many people simply elect "activists", and get people like Ray Nagin, who can even help his own townspeople get on a bus.

Answer 2

I think it is a little early to say who MOST want to win - at this point polls mean nothing. Also even if you accurately could say that most conservatives want Giuliani to win his pro-choice issues aren't the only thing he is running on. There is a lot more to every candidate than one issue. Most people are not one issue voters.

Answer 3

Because he's the republican with the best chance of winning the presidency as it stands right now.

Sure he might be a little left of center on some issues, but he's still a republican, and by backing him theres a chance that the party might be able snatch a few votes that would otherwise go to a democrat.

All the polls are showing that America is leaning to the left, if the conservatives want to stay in this thing they're gonna need to give a little,

Guliani is their plea bargain.

Oh yea and he's popular because he was the "mayor of america" remember?

He's a champion of anti-terrorism. Conservatives love that kinda stuff.

Answer 4

Rudy Guliani is a proven leader. He was elected as Mayor of New York to clean it up. He did. Crime dropped. The city shined again. I was there. I saw it happen. Then they had 9/11 and he stood out as a giant in a country that needed leadership He handeled the biggest terror crisis in US history like a true leader.

I am voting for Rudy because he will avenge 9/11. If Osama bin Laden is still alive January 21, 2008 he will be running like a dog. For Rudy; its personal. He is also the only Republican who promises to fix the illegal immigrant problem. If he says he will; he will. The guy does not bluff.

Answer 5

Polls change from week to week. As others have noted he is liberal on some issues which would make him attractive to some Dems. He is tough with a proven record-does what he says he will do. He would make Hilary answer the questions she mushes around about now. I also like Romney-yes he is a Mormon if that matters to you- but JFK was Catholic and that was a big issue then-he won. I like the health care reform he initiated in Mass-no government control- all private insurance, and saved the state bundles that they would have paid to ER charges and Medicaid.

Answer 6

Pro-choice or pro-life is not an issue with me. That's for the supreme court to decide and they've made their decision. Why this continues to be a political issue is beyond me.

My choice for president would be Fred Thompson and I believe that there's a possibility that he might end up leaving Giuliani in the dust when he makes his announcement and becomes active. I think that Giuliani would make an excellent running mate for him. :)

Answer 7

It's called grasping at straws. They know the country hates the republicans. They are hoping that now a dollar short and a day late (like Katrina) People will get the impression that they are capable of being open minded. If you fall for that you soon may not even be allowed to express your opinion on this forum in the name of "National Security" of course. In truth they sure can dish it out but turn into lunatics when criticized...Mary

Answer 8

They dont. The early polls dont reflect who voters think the best choice is. It usually reflects who they think is most likely to win. Giuliani has the greatest name recognition among those who have announced candidacy. Wait until Fred Thompson announces and you will see some dramatic changes in the poll number. Thomson is in the top three and he isnt officially running yet.

Answer 9

you employ the term "bypass-fabric dresser" devoid of taking into consideration that it became a gown stunt, no longer a existence-form. And with the type of conservatives who've had adulterous affairs or been divorced, it relatively is hard to work out why Guilani stands proud in that crowd. yet you're good. it relatively is stressful to work out how somebody who respects persons rights, and who believes in tolerance and equality can wisely signify conservative values.

Answer 10

He might be able to beat out Hillary - who, if Guiliani is a 'pro-choice liberal' could be politiely characterized as a 'pro-choice stalinist.'

Really, though, Guiliani is a moderate - he seems liberal to those on the far right, but he might have some cross-party apeal, which the republican party would need to have a shot at the presidency.
