Rudy Giuliani has been asked to deliver the keynote address at the Republican National Convention next month in Minnesota.

What a great choice. Rudy on the oratorical attack.

    I’m glad for Rudy. I note that Ms. Lopez at National Review is happy only because this means that Rudy will not be the VP, and therfore she will not have to stay home on election day.

    I was pleased the let her know what I think of those who are narrow minded like herself ( one must be pro-life ). I also let her know in rather descriptive terms how her accomplishments in life pale in comparison to those of Rudy.

    I have reached the point of changing my registration from republican to independent because of those like Ms. Lopez who populate the republican party. Frankly, I’ve had it.

    I would not let some of the idiots at National Review get your goat. Most of them have been in the tank for Mitt Romney since the get go.

    I am pro-life and think Rudy is fine. I respect his opinion just as I have with Pete Wilson and others.

    Rudy would have been nominated as President except for mis mid-life crisis and nasty divorce.

    The GOP is much better than the Democrats in so many ways. And, being D/S in California is throwing your vote away in the primary elections.

    McCain will win in a landslide. Osama Yomama Obama continues to be exposed daily for the boob that he is. With Putin saying that if Poland gets the missile shield there will be more happen than diplomacy, the American people will elect someone who will know what to do when the phone rings urgently at 3:00 AM.
