Mr. Dowdy, Thank you for stopping by my Townhall site. You don’t feel the connection to the Religious Right will harm the Republican candidates, and of course I do. My reason is the recent Supreme Court vote on partial birth abortion has alerted the “middle of the roaders” as I call them who are the majority of Americans.
I accepted your invitation to visit and am happy to meet you. You are a dyed in the wool conservative as are most of my friends in the Greensboro, NC blogosphere. I must confess that I have many “liberal” views, altho am mostly conservative so I don’t fit into any particular category and have a tendency to upset both camps with my opinions on my blog.
You seem not to think the Republican have much to offer as far as candidates go. I disagree because I see several who would be good presidential material. Whereas the Democrats have nothing to offer. I like Romney but feel he is too much of an intellectual. At this time in our history and with world events being what they are I believe we need a president who is a streetwise hardnosed in fighter who knows when to deal and when to fight. Giuliani I believe is this person. He has personal baggage but I believe he can overcome it. And since intellectuals are a dime a dozen he can buy his "experts advice". Intellectuals know but seldom, know what to do with their knowledge. Giuliani knows what to do to get the resul;ts he wants.
As for the aliens both legal and illegal I believe we have to accept and eal with assimilating the ones who are here but at the dame time seal and double lock our borders. Have spent a great deal of time in the sourthwest seeing the problems up close. We in North Carolina have a large and growing Hispanic population. For the most part there are no troubles to speak of and a labor pool of hardworking employees.
Stop by and visit me if you have time.
