Rudy Giuliani Throws Hat Into 2008 Presidential Ring

Post Chronicle ^ | 2/1/07

According to a source close to The Giuliani campaign, Rudy Giuliani is throwing his hat into the ring.  The Hinzsight Report confirms, through a source close to the Giuliani campaign, that he is presently sending people out into all 50 states to secure his name on the primary ballots.

"Despite Mayor Giuliani's public cautiousness, this is evidence that he is seriously pursuing the Presidency in 2008, and he should be taken very seriously. 

Critical state polls have shown Mayor Giuliani leading the pack, and it's about time that he start being considered what he is--the front-runner" a source tells The Hinzsight Report.

Giuliani has lined up nearly 300 key Republican supporters in New Jersey for his bid for the 2008 presidential nomination, his campaign announced this week.

In a recent Quinnipiac University poll of New Jersey voters, it showed Giuliani leading all Republican presidential candidates and ahead of Sen. Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic contender, in a head-to-head matchup.

The New Jersey primary, which is currently set for Feb. 26, is likely to move up to Feb. 5, placing it early in the campaign season and increasing its significance.  As many as 15 states could hold their Republican presidential primaries Feb. 5, reports Gannett.

I do not believe the liars in the media or you...

And, I do not believe the bastards in the media or you...

[Spiff]

You, too, bud: find and paste any post I've made supporting Rudy.

You spend all of your time in the Rudy threads defending him and attacking his detractors. Therefore, by definition, you are supporting Rudy Giuliani. Is he your favorite GOP candidate for the nomination? You've said otherwise. But that doesn't change the FACT that you've been spending day after day here supporting Giuliani.

Well, he didn't do it alone, now, did he?

As an Army of Northern Virginia historian, I have to say I admire Lincoln's dogged determination to see the war to an end and to match is war policies to the reality on the ground and despite the tremendous political opposition he faced.

[Spiff]

I'm beginning to think you're a control freak, Spiffy.

Right back at ya.

[McGavin999]

Am I the only one on this board who hasn't picked someone to support?

[onyx]

Nope, you're not.

I don't make my choice until after the first of the candidate debates.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>What 'social' issues?

LOL I think you're more interested with spinning your opinion, then debating the issues. Whatever.

[redgirlinabluestate]

Because we need someone to beat the Dems or we all lose. To date, Newt is not running and Hunter has yet to show he has the ability to win. Things may change.

As to the AWB -- The assault weapons ban even won the backing of Massachusetts gun owners in part because it included provisions that would extend the term of a firearm identification card and license to carry from four to six years and create a Firearm License Review Board to provide an appeals process for people whose firearm license applications have been denied.

Again, it was a compromise with the heavily liberal, gun-grabbing state legislature.

Jim DeMint, who has an A rating from the GOA, has endorsed Romney so he must feel differently than you.

Now you're a mind reader?

One of the reasons I'm here is because I don't like the way you're trying to ride rough shod over these threads and treating good people like their idiots.

Another reason is because I don't think a lot of the stuff you all post should go unchallenged just because you're all bullies.

And, yeah, I know; I'm a bully, too.

But the biggest reason I'm here is because I'm just damn fascinated with your frantic attempts to reply to each and every single post that MIGHT give somebody cover to vote for Rudy. I keep asking myself why. It's almost like you're scared of something happening, but I can't figure out what.

And I warned you before about trying to put words into my mouth; you'll end up looking like a fool again.

FIRST, require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress;
SECOND, select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
THIRD, cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
FOURTH, limit the terms of all committee chairs;
FIFTH, ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
SIXTH, require committee meetings to be open to the public;
SEVENTH, require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
EIGHTH, guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.

Which of these is a social issue?

[Howlin]

I don't have a candidate. And frankly I'm not too optomistic about finding one.

[JimFreedom]

"I will say this... Spiff, Reagan Man, etc. are offering valid reasons to oppose a Rudy president. They are carrying heavy water and the response from most Rudy supporters is zip... nada..."

You probably missed a lot of the earlier threads for the past week, they have been throwing non stop sometimes it is accurate many times it is not. You refute it, your a RINO, LIAR, it gets old fast. I do not trust their word anymore and I told them I wouldn't reply to their arguments any longer.

I use to never reply to posts, just wanted to read the RUDY threads but they came bashing and spamming, I thought Rudy was getting a bad rap. Did you know it is a tradition to BASH liberals here, only some of us have an opinion that Rudy isn't a liberal. Like I said if you say anything remotely nice about the guy you are a foaming at the mouth RINO, LIBERAL so and so.

What I would really like to discuss is HOW their candidates are going to pull off the naomination verses mine, we have already thrashed the social issues to death. They will never change their attitude on that, I don't care, I never asked them to vote for anyone.

So how does Hunter move forward, why would his guy or that one turn a blue state red, etc and excetra, with these folks its guns babies and homos, all day every day.

Time out! LOL!

Frankly, I'm here more for the amusement than anything

Flame wars are so fun. It's obvious that YOU think so. Some of us have been posting the truth about Giuliani and all we get back is flames. And then there's you, in each thread, pouring gasoline onto the fire. I'm sure it provides you hours of "amusement".

Tell me, beyond getting "amusement" from flame wars on the Internet, what did YOU do within the Republican Party during the last 2 elections? How many hours did you volunteer?

I just love seeing you morally superior types try to laud it over those you believe are too stupid to be able to make their own decisions.

You really have a low opinion of conservatives. Don't you...

[redgirlinabluestate]

And this is supposed to make us feel better about him as a POTUS candidate? That he'll roll over for expediencies sake?

This is a good time to remind everyone what Ronald Reagan said about that:

When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything.

I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

~~ Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography, An American Life .

Just one of the many important lessons Reagan left behind.

[Howlin]

Not that I think you will, as it isn't your purpose here, but check out Hunter.

First of all, KMA.

And, secondly, I already did; he has check kiting problems.

[Dead Corpse]

Split the base and you won't win anything. Rudy McRomney as a candidate will do just that. Massachusetts voters backed John Kerry for re-election as well. That isn't a "ringing" endorsement.

[McGavin999]

Oh good, I was beginning to think it was all over and I still hadn't picked anyone. :o)

Basically, at this point I'm voting for "Anybody but Hillary". If that turns out to be McCain, I just may commit suicide before the election so I don't have to do it.

I am motivated to maintain human life in the womb. [Some of us understand that FAR more important is the protection of the womb from the killers of radical Islam. Only when that womb is protected does abortion even become a possibility.]

Great Quote!

[redgirlinabluestate]

It takes two sides to split the base. Compromise is good sometimes.
