And the list gets bigger,
and bigger,

Rudy is taking a shotgun approach, trying to appeal to everyone possible, personal convictions be damned.
Trying to capture the "clinton republicans". Good luck with that Rudy.
Rudy is obviously not interested in my vote.
One would first have to find evidence of personal convictions in order to damn them.

That said, I really don't like this about Rudy, though.
True! I stand corrected.
Of course someone from the Rudy Fan Club is going to post another thread, telling us how 'popular' he is with Conservatives, and call those of us that are against this RINO a$$ 'one issue Conservatives'.
God help us if a viable conservative candidate doesn't emerge and we get stuck with this turkey.
NO! he will ban all shotguns!!!
And during breakfast... Glad I saved the barf bag from that last airplane trip...
Say What???
…most of Clintons Policies are very similar to most of mine... Rudy Giuliani 1996
On AbortionI’ve said that I’ll uphold a woman’s right to choice, that I will fund abortions so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right others can exercise… Rudy Giuliani 1989.
On Gun Control This is an industry that is profiting from the suffering of innocent people. What’s worse, its profits rest on a number of illegal and immoral practices. This lawsuit is meant to end the free pass that the gun industry has so long enjoyed... Rudy Giuliani 2000 after filing suit against gun makers and distributors.
On Gun Control We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions-and really stronger ones-that exist for driving an automobile... Rudy Giuliani 1997
Question: Do you believe there is a such thing as "global warming" and what about Governor Schwartzenegger's position - do you support him in the legislation (unintelligible)
Rudy: I do. I do believe there's global warming. Yes. And...and I...I think there are...I'm not a scientist all I can do is look at the reports. I think the last one said that...uh...ummm...fir-fir-first of all there's definitely global warming as far as I can tell. I guess the big question has always been how much is it, how much of it is happening because of just natural climate changes and progressions and how much is happening because of human intervention - carbon in particular - and the overwhelming majority of the scientists believe that there's significant human cause that's making it more difficult, making it worse.
And I've always thought the debate was a little bit...uh...um...unnecessary because most of the things that are happening with global warming are happening with pollution and we should be, we should be dealing with pollution anyway. So, it seems to me there's a community of interest here to do the things that are necessary to reduce polluting the environment.
Question: Have you seen "Inconvenient Truth" and there are some people that say that there aren't a lot of solutions that are posed. You've basically condemned the movie.
Rudy: Oh, I didn't condemn it. Condemn is a really bad...condemn...condemn...condemn is when you put somebody in jail or s...something like that. What I found...what I found indadequate...what I found inadequate about the movie wasit really didn't have any (microphone problems - laughter) I thought this was a technology conference...Um...I didn't think that it had any real strong suggestions about how, about how to deal with it. What...what...I would have been much more satisfied with that movie if it had listed, you know our...uh...what kind of research is going to be done on carbon sequestration, how are you gonna cuh...how are you gonna create clean coal. Is coal the way to go? How much are you going to increase ethanol and uh how much research and development and exactly how can that reduce the problem?
These are all things that we have to do. And we don't do them because of the fluctuations very often of the price of gasoline. And we don't do them because there are special interests that stop them and I did not detect in the movie the same zeal to take on those special interests as I did in explaining the problem.
Oh, but he sez sporting use is OK.
sporting use just like it sez in the constitution (NOT)
It's becoming apparent that Rudy doesn't even care about the core beliefs of the GOP. He is attemting to turn the GOP into another Liberal Party, like they have in New York. If the center and right of the Republican Party abandon him, whose fault will it be?
Rudy can try to do what he wants with the party although I wish him failure in his attempts to remake it in a more liberal vein. The scary part is the number of self-described conservatives who are blind supporters of the guy. It's the triumph of personality and power lust over principles and integrity, I guess.
It's funny, y'know?
Some people consider themselves Republicans, but not strict Conservatives. So if that makes them non-Republicans, I guess the tent is getting smaller and more exclusionary.
That bodes well for future election success, doesn't it?
I mean, when Dems vote for "anybody but the Republican", and we DON'T vote for "anybody but the Democrat" we can still win, right? LOL, I don't think so.
Vet Rudy now; get it ALL out. Beat him in the primaries. If you can't...do what you have to do.
