At a time when all the news pundits and political pollsters are measuring the size of Rudy Guiliani's presidential gravesite in anticipation of a poor showing in the Florida primary, Dennis Prager has released a new article on his website called,"The Case for Rudy Guiliani".
The article does a great job in laying out the reasons why Rudy really is the best pick for the Republican nomination for President. Since just about every Republican candidate loves to compare themselves to Ronald Reagan, Prager believes that Guiliani comes the closest in that comparison:
"But Giuliani is not merely more of a conservative than John McCain. In fact, if it is Ronald Reagan that Republicans want, Giuliani is extraordinarily close to that venerated man. Ronald Reagan stood for two great beliefs: that big government is a big problem for a free society and that America must be militarily strong and lead the war against global communism."
Of course there will be the evangelical segment of the GOP that won't vote for Guiliani under any circumstance due to his pro-choice postion. To those voters, Prager makes one last plea for a reasoned perspective on the issue:
"Ronald Reagan was pro-life, and it mattered little to the pro-life cause. Concerning abortion, what matters most in a president is the type of judges he appoints to the Supreme Court. As George Will wrote on behalf of Giuliani, "The way to change abortion law is to change courts by means of judicial nominations of the sort Giuliani promises to make." It is extremely unlikely that John McCain would appoint similarly conservative judges. Therefore, Pro-life Republicans need to ask themselves: Will a Democrat or Giuliani as president render abortion less common in America? The best is the enemy of the better. And Giuliani is far better on abortion than any Democratic nominee."
So with about a week to go before we learn whether Florida gives Rudy the staying power to remain in the Presidential race, those of us who know in our hearts that Rudy is the best man for the position can only sit back, hope, and most certainly pray that the Republican voters of Florida do the right thing!
Go Rudy!
