I'll grant you Rudy is way OK on the war. His answers out-distance John McCain's by miles. And, I am not particularly worried about Rudy's stance on abortion. The question of Roe v. Wade pales when compared to bombs exploding next door or terrorists taking over a school in a neighborhood nearby.

p>What really bothers me about Rudy is the same thing that bothers me about Newt. These two guys fall in and out of love way too easily; and once unzipped they go about destroying lives in every direction. Do we really want another sex scandal in the White House... this time our party? br> -- Judy Beumler br> Louisville, Kentucky /p>

I was very pleased to hear Rudy Giuliani pounce on Ron Paul's ridiculous statement that America was basically responsible for 9/11.

That paranoid mindset is part and parcel of the extreme anti-Semitic Right, the so-called "Perot-Buchanan" wing of the conservative movement, which in my view threatens to take over the whole ball of wax and re-create the "Third Reich."

The "Perot-Buchanan" conservatives are not really conservatives. They are crypto-Nazis. They deny (or at least question) the Holocaust. They condemn Israel, the Middle East's only true functioning democracy. In their more iconoclastic moments, they might spout the "Blood Libel." They read Eustace Mullins. They admire Ezra Pound's poetry, but not for literary reasons. They condemn the so-called "New World Order," which in their twisted worldview should have that first letter changed from "N" to "J" (you know what I mean). They are often caricatured in the media as trailer-inhabiting, chaw-spitting, down-home "crackers" who love their guns more than their spouses, but that's misleading.

They are smart, savvy -- and dangerous. Their candidate-du-jour is Ron Paul, who last night sounded polished, intellectual, smooth -- and truly frightening.

p>I just saw Buchanan's latest anti-Bush screed, entitled "The New World Order GOP" (see above). This from a man who called Hitler "an individual of great courage." We all know why Buchanan hates President Bush -- it's because Bush is the most pro-Israel President since Harry Truman. Therefore, Buchanan's Bush-hatred is just one more manifestation of his overt anti-Semitism. A clever one, but evil nonetheless. Buchanan isn't running, but his surrogate, Ron Paul, is. And I'm eternally grateful that Rudy smacked him down last night. You go, Rudy! br> -- Daniel K. Weir br> Atlanta, Georgia /p>
