Dobson says he will not back Giuliani in 2008

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Religious conservative leader James Dobson said on Thursday he would not vote for 2008 Republican presidential contender Rudolph Giuliani under any circumstances because of his support for abortion rights and his three marriages. Dobson, head of the influential Colorado-based group Focus on the Family, said Giuliani was not suited for the White House. Dobson said he would be willing to sit out the November 2008 election if Giuliani is the Republican presidential nominee. “I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008,” Dobson wrote in a commentary posted online at the Web site worldnetdaily.com. Given a choice between Giuliani and the Democratic nominee, he said, “I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran — or if worse comes to worst — not vote in a presidential election for the first time in my adult life.”

I would have to agree with Dobson on Giuliani. Not necessarily over every issue. But over the fact that he in my opinion is not the right man for the job. I do how ever have a favorite. And it shouldn’t really be a secret at this point. Fred Thompson. There is a man who is fit to lead this country. Not just against terrorist or any threat near – far. No Fread is that kind of conservative we have been needing since Reagan. Bush was the man at start. But somewhere along the way he revealed his softer under belly to the democrats. You could say Bush blew all chances for respect every time he spoke. Fred Thompson…. 08
Anybody else is likely another let down.

Christian conservatives pledge support for ‘08 Thompson bid

Washington Times Several leading Christian conservatives say they will rally to former Sen. Fred Thompson, who they expect to announce “in a matter of weeks” that he will seek the Republican nomination for president next year.
“It’s not ‘if’ but ‘when,’ he will announce,” one Protestant evangelical leader says of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering for position in the 2008 race.
A prominent Roman Catholic social conservative says the three Republicans who have raised the most money and have led the polls — former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — fall short of social conservatives’ expectations, but Mr. Thompson doesn’t. “He’s right on the issues … He’s better than all of the above.”
Both the Protestant and Catholic activist, like other Christian conservatives, spoke to The Times on the condition of anonymity.

Rudy Changes Subject to Hillary to Make Himself Look Conservative

Chris Field points out what I think is obvious. Giuliani is no conservative.

Giuliani was criticized by Gilmore for not being a conservative, and questioned by Wallace about his stances and if they’re the stances of a real conservative, but the only way he could make himself look conservative was to bring up Hillary’s liberalism.

Showing people that you’re not as bad as Hillary doesn’t make you a conservative. “Better than Hillary” ought to be the default position for anyone running for President.

Wallace gave him another shot at the question, and he still didn’t get to the answer . . . because we all know the answer.
