The Brody File David Brody CBN News Senior National Correspondent

Some GOP Actvisits Out to Get Giuliani May 29, 2007

It’s no secret that there are some conservatives who want no part of =

a Rudy Giuliani Presidency. The Brody File has been digging around =

and has found a growing network of activists who are starting to take =

pro-active steps to shoot down a Giuliani nomination.

Case in point: Every Wednesday (while Congress is in session), Paul =

Weyrich hosts a midday luncheon at the conservative Free Congress =

Foundation. It=92s an opportunity for conservative grassroots =

organizations and lawmakers to come together and push certain items =

on the agenda. A source inside that meeting tells me that flyers are =

being handed out that say the following:

“If the Republican Party nominates Rudy Giuliani as its candidate for =

either president or vice president, I will personally work to defeat =

the GOP ticket in 2008=85 Rudy Giuliani is wrong on all of the social =

issues, is wrong on the Second Amendment, and is pretty much a blank =

slate on all other issues of importance to conservatives=85If the =

Republican Party nominates him, it is saying to the American people =

that it has lost all purpose except the raw political desire to hold =

power. It will be time to put the GOP out of its misery.”

The flyer is put out by a group called =93ConservativesForPeace.com=94. =

Look, this group isn=92t a Focus on the Family or a Family Research =

Council but it gives you a sense of how some are already plotting to =

destroy Giuliani.

I also received an email from a conservative grassroots leader who =

has a pretty extensive list of conservative contacts. (Close to 400 =

or so) Here are some excerpts from it to give you a sense of what =

he=92s sending out to his grassroots friends:

From the moment Giuliani is nominated — if they are stupid enough =

to do it next February — a third party will be started emphasizing =

pro-family issues and conservative economic and foreign policies, and =

probably within a decade or two that 3rd party will be the dominant =

party along with the pro-abortion and left-wing Democrat Party.

Rudy Giuliani completely missed the point of the question about =

abortion. Asked whether he saw a parallel between the anti-slavery =

and anti-abortion movements, he seemed mystified and said, ‘Well, =

there [are] no circumstances under which I could possibly imagine =

anyone choosing slavery or supporting slavery.’ But just as no one =

would choose to be a slave, no unborn child would choose to be aborted.” What can the Giuliani campaign do to stop this movement? Will the =

conservative grassroots really be able to take him down?
