Then you better brush up on Hunters history on trade as well as his recent legislation and statements.
Reaganism, baby, no matter how you try to misrepresent it.
Caveman "Urg", ancestor to Rudy Guliani, ruthlessly cracks the skull of the harmless and lovable Caveman "Slork" with a club.
Only a socialist would support rent control.
Here's a question for Rudy: If an evil tobacco-chewing farmer, who owns an SUV, runs over an endangered jumping kangaroo rat with his tractor, should the farmer get the death penalty or life imprisonment?
You bet.
Anytime you have government controlling private property for the "common good" you've got stinking fascism.
Excellent historical archive. Thanks for the post.
"Favored using civil forfeiture laws to seize automobiles of persons ACQUITTED of drunk driving..."
That makes him a pirate.
Argh
What this does is points out Rudy's inconsistencies.
It's hard to be an advocate for free market economics when you embrace rent control.
I was a Rudy supporter once but I'm sorry, I can't support someone who is openly pro-abortion (and refuses to denounce it) and believes the 2nd Amendment is for hunting. Like I said, Rudy is not the obligatory RINO in the sense that conservatives will still vote for and one who could pull independents and non-voters.
I like Duncan Hunter
I think that's perfectly acceptable.
It's only fair to look at a candidate's RECORD when trying to predict future behavior.
But is this really so important that it required digging up an article that old? I mean, there are a lot of reasons I won't support Giuliani for president but his position on rent control didn't really make the top of the list.
This is inexcusable. Rent control has been one of the biggest disasters in this country.
On one hand, I realize that NYC is distinctly unique, when compared to 99.9% of the rest of the USA. The housing woes in NYC cannot be solved overnight, so I can't blame Rudy for decades of failure that's equally distributed across the politicaly spectrum.
But, I think it's fair to take that example and add it to a list of positions to which we can refer. Definitely a singular event to judge him by, but one more log on the fire.
Not only that, but I went to a meeting with Duncan Hunter yesterday. I asked him about this same question; he is for genuine free trade with a two-way street, instead of a one-way street where other countries have a one-way edge over us from the beginning (if he were a protectionist, he wouldn’t have voted for a free trade deal with Austrailia).
Anyone still believe that Rudy is a fiscal, free-market conservative after reading this? He is another Richard Nixon.
Hardly. Just one of many reasons not to vote for your liberal.
