From Hannity's Radio broadcast, Giullani said he supported gun contol in heavily populated Urban areas, but said the Second Ammendment was okay for Rural Areas. So he is for Restricted Rights, which is an oxymoron! I guess shooting at squirels is okay, but shooting and intruder needs to be stopped. THUMBS DOWN.
Giulliani said he was against Abortion, but for a woman's right to choose. THUMBS DOWN.
He is against Gay Marriage, but endorses Civil Partnerships. So if you perform dispicable, perverted behavior behind closed doors, we are going to give gas partners Health Care benefits and tax breaks that we won't give to two widowed sisters living together? THUMBS DOWN.
On Illegal Alliens, Giulliani said he wanted to photograph them, keep tabs on them (somehow), but we needed to find some way to legitimize these people. Sounds like Amnesty Advocate to me. THUMBS DOWN.
War on Terror, Crime. THUMBS UP.
...but I wouldn't want him deciding the next round of Supreme Court nominees. OVERALL THUMBS DOWN. Next 2008 Republican Presidential Candidate PLEASE.
I agree with your assessment, but I think his abortion position is acceptable - IF:
-He agrees to sign a partial birth abortion ban as long as there is a LOM provision
-Really WILL appoint Scalias, Thomases, Robertses, and Alitos to the SCOTUS
The term he used was "normalize," which doesn't make sense. But I knew what he meant. He wants "comprehensive immigration reform," e.g., amnesty, which makes him unacceptable no matter what else he says. And this is the same thing John McCain wants, as well as our current President.
I heard a caller to a radio show who had a great analysis. He said Guliani is Hillary Clinton but in favor of the war.
I wish Arizona Senator Jon Kyl would run. Bill Bennett was looking for a way to start a "draft Kyl" campaign. Sounds great to me.
Giuliani must not make it out of the primaries. We need a conservative nominee.
