From Giuliani comes a revealing rant

CONCORD MONITOR ^ | 25 FEBRUARY 2007 | Hillary Nelson

[Delphinium]

I was shocked yesterday after all the stuff we have already heard, to here Rudy praising Margaret Sanger, but there is SO much more to come.

This guy is outrageous, not just a flaming liberal, but a nut. Course that liberal isn't it?

"Anyway, I HATE ferrets! - Maybe you're not preparing them properly."

You may be right...

I hear you do a killer ferret jambalaya when you run low on 'possum.

I missed that! Got a link?

"The blindness of the "Stop Giuliani with anything we can get our hands on" crowd is now laughable."

To repeat what said 'blindness' reveals:

Rudy Giuliani

1989- "I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal." Phil Donahue Show

I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights,Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing," he responded." -- CNN.com, "Inside Politics" Dec 2, 1999

Rudy Giuliani is a proponent of gun control who supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban

His thoughts on the gay-marriage amendment? "I don't think you should run a campaign on this issue," he told the Daily News earlier this month. "I think it would be a mistake for anybody to run a campaign on it -- the Democrats, the president, or anybody else."

"Rudy Giuliani came out yesterday against President Bush's call for a ban on gay marriage.

The former mayor, who Vice President Cheney joked the other night is after his job, vigorously defended the President on his post-9/11 leadership but made clear he disagrees with Bush's proposal to rewrite the Constitution to outlaw gays and lesbians from tying the knot."I don't think it's ripe for decision at this point," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press.""I certainly wouldn't support [a ban] at this time," added Giuliani..."

When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law.

Mr. Rockefeller represented "a tradition in the Republican Party I've worked hard to re-kindle - the Rockefeller, Javits, Lefkowitz tradition." -- Rudy Giuliani, New York Times, July 9, 1992

"Shortly before his last-minute endorsement of Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential election, [Giuliani] told the Post's Jack Newfield that "most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." The Daily News quoted [Giuliani] as saying that March: "Whether you talk about President Clinton, Senator Dole.... The country would be in very good hands in the hands of any of that group."

Revealing at one point that he was "open" to the idea of endorsing Clinton, he explained: "When I ran for mayor both times, '89 and '93, I promised people that I would be, if not bipartisan, at least open to the possibility of supporting Democrats." -- Rudy - An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett, Page 459

They're good with Limburger cheese.

[California Patriot]

The column is shallow and insignificant. Occasional anger and rudeness are very good things in a president, as in a mayor.

[lilylangtree]

Forgive my ignorance with YouTube but does anyone know where I can view the Giuliani video?

[Mike Darancette]

I've always had a liking for taffeta and sensible shoes.

[BykrBayb]

But is he likely to be a better president than the others?

That's the big question. And the answer is prety obvious. No.

[Eagles Talon IV]

If I give you my address, will you send me some of whatever you're smokin'?

"The column is shallow and insignificant. Occasional anger and rudeness are very good things in a president, as in a mayor."

True, but Rudy is still exactly what we can't afford as a Republican President.

Perhaps you need to be reminded of Ronald Reagan's positions when he was a Democrat.

"He was a liberal Democrat, as his father was, and he felt a great attachment to the party. He was proud that his father had refused to take him and his brother Moon to the movie, Birth of a Nation, with its racial stereotypes. And he bragged that his father, Jack, a salesman, had, back long ago when Reagan was a kid, once spent the night in his car rather than sleep in a hotel that wouldn't take Jews. Ronald Reagan as a young man was a Roosevelt supporter, he was all for FDR, and when he took part in his first presidential campaign he made speeches for Harry Truman in 1948."

Thanks so much.

The gun issue is the ultimate litmus test. It tells whether a politician trusts you or not. I won't trust one who doesn't trust me.
Guiliani might win but he will never make a good president. If he wins, it will be a disaster.

Opening Remarks to the N.A.R.A.L. "Champions of Choice" Lunch

The Yale Club, Thursday, April 5th, 2001

Thank you very much for inviting me to say a few words of welcome. This event shows that people of different political parties and different political thinking can unite in support of choice. In doing so, we are upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger and the movement for reproductive freedom that began in the early decades of the 20th century.

As a Republican who supports a woman's right to choose, it is particularly an honor to be here. And I would like to explain, just for one moment, why I believe being in favor of choice is consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. In fact, it might be more consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party stands for the idea that you have to restore more freedom of choice...

These are a few quotes from Sanger:

"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it." Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race (Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)

Margaret Sanger (1883-1966) On blacks, immigrants and indigents: "...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people

On sterilization & racial purification: Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

On the purpose of birth control: The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities: "More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

On the extermination of blacks: "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," she said, "if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon

On adultery: A woman's physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow, Sanger believed. Birth Control in America, p. 11

On marital sex: "The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the social order," Sanger said. (p. 23

Haven't people here been around middle aged males horsing around? And imbibing a little too much??? I unfortunately have (or fortunately depending on your views).

[editor-surveyor]

Ronald Reagan was never in favor of infant murder, nor would he have called it "a woman's right to choose."

OK ????

[Phlap]

Its his shtick. He did drag on SNL too.

[Delphinium]

If he wins, it will be a disaster.

This guy is a total control maniac. Can you imagine what damage could be done?

Are people really this stupid?
