Rudy Giuliani Throws Hat Into 2008 Presidential Ring

Post Chronicle ^ | 2/1/07

Cool. 60% of FReepers, without offering them a choice for any other candidates, are AGAINST Rudy Giuliani.

But, what does that have to do with Howlin's contention that "MOST" FReepers haven't picked a candidate yet?

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO!

[sissyjane]

Hilarious!

[jmc813]

Sooooooo, why do you keep guessing? Worse, why do you invite people out and step in it?

It lightened up a thread where people were getting ridiculously uptight and hopefully made a few people laugh. That's OK with me.

[Fiddlstix]

Always happy to help J

Head lice is curable. Once you've got a Kennedy in office, you are pretty much screwed.

[McGavin999]

Yeah, I understand what a sample is. It's still a very, very tiny bit of FreeRepublic. Most people are like me, waiting to make up our minds and we don't vote in polls.

And I think most of Hunter's support is fine; it's just the same few who always freak out when they think ANYBODY that's not far right wing might be the nominee that are causing the uproar.

We're not looking for someone who is "far right wing" (although that would be nice). We just want someone who supports a good amount of the Republican Party Platform.

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

"... the fact that he just couldn't relate to us was obvious.

Perhaps the fact Bill Clinton said, "I loathe the military", has something to do with it.

[melancholy]

In the perfect world, I think there should be room for all of us in the party and we should know where and when to wage the battles.

Amen to that!

I think Howlin should have posted that MOST THINKING AND SERIOUS PEOPLE HERE, have not made our choice yet.

You know, serious and thinking people like me, who wait for the first of the candidate debates.


FWIW, do you think the majority of members here for in FR polls?

[onyx]

I luv ya!

[onyx]

LOL

[onyx]

New puppy too! How sweet! You'll have to tell me about him ( or her) on the Dose.

[Howlin]

Once again I was not speaking to you, but you felt the need to respond, proving MY point: you're posting on these threads like your life depends on it.

[onyx]

That tired chart of yours again.

It's not spiffy --- add some colored font.

[Spiff]

I think Howlin should have posted that MOST THINKING AND SERIOUS PEOPLE HERE, have not made our choice yet.

So, only stupid people vote in the FR Polls?

Who did YOU vote for in the poll?

[JimFreedom]

I wanted to add others I just need the right picture to edit, LOL! Stay tuned.

[carton253]

What is with that?

No, seriously...

What is with a person who repeatedly comes onto a subject thread and feels they must answer each and every post as if their life depends on it? (and the more they are oppoosed, the more frantic they get)

Do you have any answer 'cause I want to tell them to go get a life and leave the rest of us the heck alone.

Love that Rudy guy!

The fact that both Giuliani and Hillary Clinton have embraced the same position on an issue that so deeply split Congress in 1993 -- and caused political problems for the Democratic White House -- reflects the extent to which both of the Senate hopefuls view gay men and lesbians as a source of votes and contributions.

Both Hillary Clinton and Giuliani already have gone to some lengths to court support from gay voters, and Hillary Clinton's advisers said they were concerned that the mayor might do well among a group of voters that has historically been viewed as a reliable part of the Democratic base.

At the fund-raiser, Hillary Clinton also voiced support for domestic partnership measures that would allow gay partners to receive the same benefits as married couples.

On this, her position is similar to the one taken by Giuliani, who supported a domestic partnership law in 1997. The mayor frequently remarks that he signed the city's first domestic partnership legislation.

Linko for the Pinkos,
