GIULIANI TIME
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s He's Ready If You Are:

R. Emmett Tyrrell articulates the best conservative endorsement to date for Giuliani. I cannot help but admire the same aspects of the guy that Tyrrell also admires. I'll admit that I even admire him for the "wrong" reason: he's a fellow paison. How then to reconcile my pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family principles with Giuliani's legendary contrary ones?

One solution is for Giuliani to publicly state that there are constitutional limits to federal power, that those constitutional limits have been egregiously and repeatedly violated in the last four decades, and specifically among the egregious violations were interventions into abortion, gun possession and the special benefits and rights of married heterosexual couples. If President of the United States Rudolph Giuliani appointed only judges that ruled on the written law and its original intent, not the political whim of the moment, and President Giuliani refused any legislation that a contrary Congress offered that attempted to exceed the constitutional role of the federal government, all conservative objections to a President Giuliani would be rendered moot.

Declaring the excesses of the federal government, swearing to eliminate them, while also faithfully executing the constitutional role of his office, could make Giuliani one of the great conservatives of all time.

People of Italian ancestry have a reputation for being your best friend, or your worst enemy, and nothing in between. Be our best friend, Rudy, and look the American people in the eye and tell them what their federal government should and should not do.

Great article, Mr. Tyrrell. If Rudy Giuliani is nominated, I will vote for him even while not happy with his views on abortion, gun control, and girlfriends-while-married. However, I have read and heard him say on several occasions that he will appoint Supreme Court Justices who are strict constructionists, and that's good enough for me.

He understands the threat of Islamic jihadists, the absolutism of low taxes and the need for ever-smaller government. I want to hear more his views on border control and illegal immigrants.

I do have one request of him and his wife, Judi. Please, please no more Al and Tipper moments. So you have a wonderful, wild sex life; I am thrilled for you. The details of which are just too much information! I want to know my President loves his wife -- but not exactly how. Thank you.

Step away from the big city. It's tainting your views on reality.

Sure, maybe Red Rudolph is popular with all of the socialists and liberals in New York State but he'll never even get off the ground in "real America".

He, just like the Hildebeast and that RINO McCain, have absolutely no chance of getting true American conservative votes to any degree that will be helpful. Fortunately there are not enough liberals in America (yet) to make a difference either.

Most of us "Flyover-Red-State-Conservatives" will likely not even vote if only offered the likes of the current phonies in the line up so far.

Except maybe Tancredo... He's the only one with the balls to stand up to the biggest phony of them all - Bush and his amnesty pals from Mexico.

Get a grip. The world does not revolve around NYC. In fact to the majority of Americans, NYC is nothing but enemy territory -- same goes for anything that crawls out of it.

The Big Apple is truly rotten to the core and as the saying goes, one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel.
