Many skeptics continue to question whether Rudy Giuliani is serious about making a run for the White House, but it was abundantly clear on Saturday that he had come to Manchester for more than the sub-freezing temperatures.
Addressing over 500 activists at the New Hampshire Republican Party's annual meeting as part of a two-day swing through the state, Giuliani sketched the broad outlines of what looks like a presidential run. Sounding at times like a motivational speaker, Giuliani cautioned against cynicism and pessimism in the wake of November's election results and challenges in the ongoing War on Terror. The message especially resonated with the audience in this critical primary state, where the Republican Party just lost control of both chambers of the legislature for the first time since the 1870s.
"The best way we remain safe and we retain our freedom...is remaining on offense, remaining strong and not becoming weak in a time of pressure," Giuliani said in a line that drew the biggest applause from the crowd at the Palace Theater.

I don't like to be called abortionist, gun-grabbing nothing could be further from the truth, and if they now think they have a license to break FR rules, then we need to know that as well. Yeah, it's not like the Rudy boosters are pushing the limits.
Such as referring to Rudy critics as Klan.
Or inferring critics are antiwar.
Or saying pro-lifer groups don't want Roe v. Wade overturned because it would cut off donations.
Nah, I'm glad your side has taken the high road and not said anything like that.

" However, while Rudy isn't perfect on immigration he seems better than the President."
No, He isn't. When did President Bush say he didn't care what the laws or court orders said and would refuse to allow illegals to be turned over to immigration? He hasn't, but Rudy sure did.
I don't have the exact quotes for it but you can run and fetch them if you care.

Yeah, I'm about to go for a couple of hours. American Idol, the best part, the terrible singers that think they can sing. Always funny. There are a bunch of people in the world that are delusional :)

Rudy has said we should secure the border first, something the President won't do.

I of course know what the word means, I just stated that I had seen it in the Koran, is that a problem for you?

"Rudy has said we should secure the border first, something the President won't do."
That is BS and you know it. Rudy was protecting the illegals in NYC in defiance to direct court orders.
President Bush hasn't been perfect in sealing the borders but he has done far more than clowntoon before him.
To: DocH; JimFreedom
If I didn't know better, I'd think he was trying to insinuate that your views were akin to an Islamofascist. That couldn't be it though, because we all know how polite and well-mannered the Rudy boosters are.
