During the debate, I was so amazed that Rudy ducked the Christianity question that I missed the content of his response. He went back to the question about Schwarzenegger and the future of the Republican Party... "downplaying partisanship and taking centrist positions."

-------------------------------------

MR. MATTHEWS: Mayor Giuliani, I have to ask you the next question. Has the increased influence of Christian conservatives in your party been good for it?

MR. GIULIANI: Sure, the increased influence of large numbers of people are always good for us.

I'd like to go back to the earlier question that you asked, because I think it really is important that we, you know, define the Republican party to fit today. And neither party has a monopoly on virtue or vice. That's just a fallacy that we sometimes fall into.

And if we're going to win and we're going to govern after we win, we have to reach out, bring in Democrats, bring in independents. I ran a city that was five-to-one Democratic, and I was able to -- according to George Will, I ran the most conservative government in the last 50 years in New York City, reduced crime, reduced welfare, balanced the budget and lowered taxes 23 times.

MR. MATTHEWS: Time, Mr. Mayor, it's time.

MR. GIULIANI: And I had 45 Democrats and I think six Republicans. MR. MATTHEWS: Okay.

You know well. Schwarzy and his moderate-centrist-liberal politics has further undermined the state GOP and left the few conservatives in the California, like Tom McClintock, out in the cold. Like Arnie, Rooty can’t be trusted. No liberal should be trusted. I got a fit for Rooty. Its called the Democratic Party.
