Personally, I prefer Tancredo although I admire "America's Mayor," and this article sheds some light on Rudy's little known conservative and courageous accomplishments.
Hillary Clinton Lite is precisely what you will get if you elect Rudy Giuliani!
So instead of running off the cliff, we walk.
No thanks.
I'm an Anyone But HRC voter myself.
and your point IS?
Rudy's an authoritarian like so many RINO's.
No, I'm not crazy, I've just been burned before. Remember 10 rd magazines? Rudi thought that was a prudent idea. He has no bona fides regarding the 2nd amendment and until he clearly states a position aligned with the Bill of Rights, he is suspect at best.
Rudy has East Coast appeal, he can kill the hidabeast in her own backyard. He has a very positive image from his handling of 9/11. He took on crime in NYC and won. He takes a very hard stand against terrorism.
The hard nosed purists that only test their candidates by the abortion issue can enable the hildabeast by opposing a candidate that can beat "it" purely on a one dimensional issue.
Why do the conservatives have to be the ones who must compromise? Why can't the RINOs compromise?
That's like an article that sheds some light on Bill Clinton's little known acts of honesty and fidelity.
There's a reason that they're "little known."
AMEN
Rudy will not get my vote....in fact I may not vote at all for president....if the choice is Hillary or Rudy.
The same goes for McCain.....
No we aren't. Run that liberal RINO and lose the Presidency. You can't blame conservatives for sticking to their principles just because you have none.
Same here.
I won't vote for him and no amount of Rudybeggars will convince me to.
And hate crime laws. He absolutely loves hate crime laws.
See the link on post # 33.
Take away abortion, and debate the candidates' stands on taxes, defense, illegal immigration, etc. Take away the religious angle, and debate the issues, and I wonder who the religious conservatives would vote for, if they could leave the religious aspect out.
I've been looking.
I will vote my conscious. God will put who He wants in office. I just pray it isn't someone this country deserves.
From Human Events:
Rudy's Strong Pro-Abortion Stance
As these comments from a 1989 conversation with Phil Donahue show, Rudy Giuliani is staunchly in favor of abortion:
"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.
I do that in spite of my own personal reservations. I have a daughter now; if a close relative or a daughter were pregnant, I would give my personal advice, my religious and moral views ...
Donahue: Which would be to continue the pregnancy.
Giuliani: Which would be that I would help her with taking care of the baby. But if the ultimate choice of the woman - my daughter or any other woman - would be that in this particular circumstance [if she had] to have an abortion, I'd support that. I'd give my daughter the money for it."
Worse yet, Giuliani even supports partial birth abortion:
"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
It's bad enough that Rudy is so adamantly pro-abortion, but consider what that could mean when it comes time to select Supreme Court Justices. Does the description of Giuliani that you've just read make you think he's going to select an originalist like Clarence Thomas, who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade -- or does it make you think he would prefer justices like Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy who'd leave Roe v. Wade in place?
Rudy's abortion stance is bad news for conservatives who are pro-life or who are concerned about getting originalist judges on the Supreme Court.
An Anti-Second Amendment Candidate
In the last couple of election cycles, 2nd Amendment issues have moved to the back burner mainly because even Democratic candidates have learned that being tagged with the "gun grabber" label is political poison.
Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani is a proponent of gun control who supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban.
Do Republicans really want to abandon their strong 2nd Amendment stance by selecting a pro-gun control nominee?
Wow. Well said!
Rudy lies and says he won't. He LIES.
