27% of Republicans Would Vote for Pro-Life Third Party Instead of Giuliani (Proof Rudy CAN'T Win)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 10-4-07 | Rasmussen Reports

Posted on 10/04/2007 9:38:23 AM PDT by TitansAFC

If Rudy Giuliani wins the Republican nomination and a third party campaign is backed by Christian conservative leaders, 27% of Republican voters say they’d vote for the third party option rather than Giuliani.


***********************************

Clinton 46% Rudy911 30% Pro-Life Third-party 14%.

Nail, meet coffin.

It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.

Yep. Either that, or sit it out.

I have voted pro life in every election since 1976.I will vote for the candidate that can beat Hillary. Anything else is only going to advance the abortionist cause. Do not make perfect the enemy of the good.I have given money for 20 years to Dobson et al. It will stop if this foolishness continues. I will hold my nose if I have to and save as many babies as possible. Not turn the government over to the evil left.

Pro-Life advocates are not idiots, there will be no third party created by them.

-—”Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton is inviting the decorators into the White House to measure for the new window treatments.”-—

Then we’d better be wise and nominate a candidate who won’t split the party, as opposed to being stupid and nominating Rudy911, then demanding that everyone who has sworn that they won’t give up their principles to support Rudy911 do exactly that. There WILL be a Third Party option if Rudy911 gets the nod. I will be one of those folks working night and day, until I can work no more, making sure it happens.

This is the entire purpose of Ron Paul’s candidacy. In order for it to work, Rudy has to get the nomination. When that happens and Paul announces his third-party candidacy (with Chuck Hagel as his running mate) Paul will turn down the volume on the anti-war rhetoric (leaving it to Hagel) and turn up the volume on the pro-life rhetoric.

So far, everything seems to be going exactly according to plan.

We are not idiots, which is why we cannot have two rabidly Pro-abortion parties - the inevitable and undeniable result of a Rudy911 Presidency. Heed the meeting from Salt lake City (Search FR for “Values” and read Dobson’s account). I will be one of those giving every ounce of blood to make it happen.

“It’s proof that a Pro-Life third party would be idiotic, not proof that Rudy can’t win.”

You need to face the facts that have been presented here for months, there are a whole bunch of Republicans that will never vote for Rooty! All the pro gun Dem’s will go back to their default party because they lose any reason to switch their vote for the gun issue. There is no way that moron could win. If he is nominated the race is over and RATS win!

If Giuliani is what the electorate wants in a president then the conservative movement has lost. That the move to the left is led by a Democrat or Republican is a trivial matter. It is the move itself that matters.

Don’t forget the Ron Paul cult.

1. and of course, if Sen. Clinton is the dem nominee...
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 12:22 PM by mike_c
...a large number of democrats can be counted on to vote for someone else as well, so 2008 might become a four party race!

6. I don't know-- Greens I hope...
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 12:32 PM by mike_c
...but the green party wrenched itself pretty badly in 2004 to support the dems, so it's hard to say what the various state green party orgs will be able to accomplish for 2008. If only someone could talk Kucinich into running as an independent-- after the way he's been treated by the dems, he ought to!

It's all wishful speculation, of course.... I hate the thought of having only a moderate-right dem candidate, a conservative-right repub, and a freaking nut case reactionary right wing repub in sheep's clothing to choose from!

8. Regardless of whom we support, regardless of who receives the nomination
of either -- or the three! -- parties, this is truly the most exciting, important, off-the-wall election I've ever experienced. After the dust settles and we continue on, I wonder how this time will be viewed by historians.
