My heart says Tom [Tancredo] but my head says Rudy. ~ John Derbyshire, NR
Derb, why not try being a man and go against what your neocon overlords demand? You are one of the few writers at NR who has something interesting to say. And the real dichotomy is not head vs. heart. There is no long-term gain for conservatism in caving in and endorsing a liberal candidate, especially one who supports the third-world invasion of the USA. All the wishful thinking in the world will not change the fact that Giuliani supported sanctuary for tens of thousands of illegals in NYC. The real dichotomy is integrity vs. peer pressure. “My integrity says that Tancredo is the right pick, but all the neocons / neoliberals demand loyalty to Giuliani.”

Guiliani fails a: “shows no signs of a deep ideological commitment to unrestricted immigration”

He only went out of his way for years in NYC to champion sanctuary for illegal aliens. This is no commitment?

Here is the simpatico Derbyshire. And he is supporting Giuliani?

Every heard the sound of a train leaving the station? I hear that sound right now among conservatives, at least the establishment kind. All they are doing right no is justifying why they are paying to get on board.

Maybe he’s trying to squeeze every vote for the war machine he can get.
Earlier I ran into a pro-war libertarian site that is backing Giuliani.
Senile Buckley is of course following the herd. To his credit he did admit being wrong on Iraq.

If this site gets big enough, I’m sure the neos will send a con here to gather support.
He’ll be with the editors on everything but war and Israel.

Of course, we Mainstream Libertarians are supporting Giuliani. How could any sane Libertarian not support Rudy?
He’s fiscally conservative/socially tolerant. Perhaps the most Libertarian Presidential candidate to come along since Goldwater.
And more importantly he’s tough on fighting the Islamo-Fascists.
