Forget that Rudy is for gun control.
Forget that Rudy is for abortion on demand.
Forget Rudy has had three wives.
Newt Gingrich has more substance and material plans for the improvement of this country than Rudy Giuliani, yet we all moan about Newt's three matched Samsonites being too much to lug to the White House. Is that really what this is about, or can we just not forgive the guy for being less sexy than Rudy?
We are reminded that he is a rabid baseball fan.
We are reminded that he is (say it with me) Italian.
We are reminded what sexy charisma he oozes.
A pass for flagrant moral transgressions, and being a F(ather)INO in an empty suit, all because he's hawt? I am ashamed of my fellow Conservatives loosening the laces on the standards we have all held for so long, all for the sake of America's lust for telegenic, pop self reality bullshit.
Because try as I might to picture Rudy Giuliani as "Mayor of America", all that I can manage is Bill Clinton, Governor of Arkansas.
Yeah, this race is starting to look a little bit like "American Idol".

Right on, Jane! Politically-speaking, Rudy is no friend of mine and IF I HAVE to vote for him it will be because there's no real conservative candidate in the race and the Democrat's alternative is far less appealing!
Give me Fred Thompson and Newt...

After seeing MM's interview with Gingrich, I see myself supporting him more at this point than any of the other frontrunners.
Dare I say it....."she turned me into a Newt!"
We'll see how it progresses over the next year, but I don't expect him to be able to win the hearts of the general public. He just doesn't seem to have what it takes for popularity. It's such a shame that popularity is more important than substance in a political race.
[JANE SAYS: SHE turned you on...I thought I was your first virtual love..**Sniffsniff** Newt was so open and honestly friendly at CPAC. He answered ANY questions we had. I listened to Captain Ed, but asked nothing new myself. Her interview was very good but he just does not have the "American Idol" factor. And we are a SHALLOW and fickle bunch. Sadly.]

I want Fred Thompson with Newt as his VP. I don't think Newt can win a presidential election at this particular point in history with his "past", but Fred Thompson comes across as a good conservative with excellent speaking skills and a good, clean recognizable personality.
Newt can provide the strategery (as Rush would say) and it would definitely keep any liberal whack-oes from assassinating President Thompson!
:-)
[JANE SAYS: Interesting Presidential security plan...heh...]

Hmm... we have similar posts today Jane. We didn't even coordinate. Great Minds and all that?!

My NY inlaws, also Eyetallion, love Rudy and they are Conservatives. To talk about RG's negatives is about as fruitfull as bringing up the 43 governments in 38 years in Italy.
In short, re:RG, I only open my mouth to eat.
[JANE SAYS: As a PARTY, I fear we are "settling" fro someone we feel is electable. But smart polticos know that when the gun is fired, he will get his ass kicked to the finish because the very most Conservative will just stay home. And frankly, as this party drifts and lists Left, I think I could join them and sit this one out.]

Jane, you ARE my number one virtual love. No one wears comon sense and wit like you. I'm still waiting to see the legs, though...
[JANE blushes.]

Did someone say legs?

~right click~
~save as~
I just had a thought. Twelve Months of Jane. A calendar, for each month a picture of the Jane gams and a memorable Jane quote.
I'd buy it.
[JANE SAYS: You'd get the first one free. And I'd autograph it in a special way, juuust for you Stealthy! And my BIG OLD SWOLLEN HEAD could be the centerfold...what am I going to do with you?]]

Did you ever think you'd have groupies? :P
[JANE SAYS: Is THAT what you guys are? From a skinny redneck girl to "D" List Cewebrity, who'd a thunk it? Y'all make my brain feel useful and that is the BEST part of this for me. XOXOXOXOXOXOX to all three of you. ;) ]
