No, I haven't.
Obviously you never went to college frat parties...
Or a biker Halloween party.....;D
The article says:
"And then Giuliani became obsessed with seemingly minor issues in a way that seemed almost pathological. His attempt to cut funding for a Brooklyn art museum after it showed artwork he deemed offensive is perhaps the best known such incident."
Yet the article doesn't mention the artwork in question. Interesting. It was a depiction of the Blessed Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung. Remember?
As I have stated a few times lately...I have noticed it. Fraternity guys, G.I.'s, members of lodges and football teams and unions etc. Not that I've ever understood it! But it seems to be a great source of fun for many to dress up like that, and it has gone on for literally centuries.
IMO all these drag outfits just make Rudy look less uptight and virginal.
I don't consider an intense dislike of the press or other 'baiters' a bad characteristic for a presidential candidate. I'm all for a straight-talking, 'up yours' type of answer when it's deserved. Just the opposite, this makes me want to vote for Rudy all the more.
But I'm not sure of his stance on illegal immigration yet, and tax cuts...developing.
OK, he's lost the ferret owners vote.
HUH?! Our President was at a elementary school reading to students there. What the hell was he supposed to do? This characterization that somehow Bush showed weakness is pure BS!
he is in favor of the mccain amnesty plan.
While he was mayor he fought the feds to maintain NY's sanctuary city status. Basically ignoring federal laws and harboring illegal aliens.
People do silly stuff sometimes:') I'm more interested though in what he has done or not done regarding abortion, gun control, immigration, homosexual rights etc.
>> No, I haven't.
Neither have I when it concerns modern Presidential candidates.
... (you can listen to the entire segment at thislife.org, episode 146, 12/10/99).
????
Needless to say, episode 146 has nothing to do with Rudy from what I can tell.
i haven't decided on who to vote for in 08, either in primaries or the general election, but I do know I won't be taking advice from Democrats.
"Disgusted by the very idea of ferrets"?
My kinda guy.
He had a dreadful relationship with the black community, exacerbated by his stubborn support for the NYPD in the wake of police scandals involving the beating and sodomizing of a male prisoner and the shooting deaths of several unarmed men.
OK, I get it... Written by a lib in the hopes of driving a wedge between Giuliani and the GOP right wing. These guys just can't help interjecting their own opinions and blowing their cover.
>>When David Guthartz of New York Ferrets' Rights Advocacy called Giuliani's weekly radio program to press again for the rights of pet owners, the mayor went ballistic.
"There's something deranged about you," he told Guthartz. "The excessive concern that you have for ferrets is something you should examine with a therapist, not with me."
When the caller objected to the mayor's characterization, he was cut off. <<
I have two ferrets. I am under no circumstance voting for Guiliani in the primary.
But I have to admit this radio exchange made me like him slightly more.
I don't know if that reveals as much about Giuliani as it does about the kind of people who are drawn to political careers in general.
Yeah, that part about the 'deer in the headlights' is a subtle warning that there is moon-battery just under the surface of this writer, well concealed - but it's there.
Presidents take a little longer to get moving, that's natural. But the Mayor of New York didn't bring down two terrorist regimes in the space of 1 term. Let's be real now. Rudy might be just as strong as President, but W has done a fairly solid job of kicking ass. W could do more, but it's hard carrying around a bunch of whiney defeatocrats and RINOs...
