Why are Republicans angry at Giuliani for not lying to them, for not maintaining the deception that he is "moderate" on abortion? I have a suspicion that Washington Republicans are hoping against hope that Giuliani will finesse the issue, allowing them to support him without having to face too many painful questions.
ping. Rudy spinning like a weathervane over his CNN interview.
Burn Rudy Burn.
No, it doesn't. Giuliani's true beliefs slipped out in the CNN interview and now he is backtracking and resorting to lying and trying to convince conservatives he is something he isn't.
Rudy is a life long liberal and has always supported abortion rights and taxpayer funded abortions. Being personally against abortion is the position most liberals take. Liberals like John Kerry, Algore, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Giuliani. Rudy is fooling no one.
Just like Bush on amnesty for illegals. Just look at how well that turned out.
And now he supports the Hyde Amendment? That's a finesse flip flop!:
Leaflets distributed by the Giuliani campaign .... said that he opposes restrictions to Federal Medicaid financing for abortions and opposes the Hyde Amendment, which is intended to deny support for that financing.

Because the Rudybots have been telling us that either he has changed on these issues, or that, as Mayor of NYC, he had to have a specific take on these issues in a way that benefitted NYC, but it doesn't mean that he would feel that way as President.
It was obvious that was all BS, but now that Rudy has admitted it is all BS, it is a newsworthy event.
Are you joking? You don't understand why conservative Republicans are angry at Giuliani for being a pro-abortion lefty? Sure, he's not lying about his abortion stance, but he's lying through his teeth about being a 'conservative'. Can you say RINO? It's not like he can conceal it with lies anyway; it's been his stand since he's been a politician. As a mayor his pro-abortion stand probably had little consequence, but as a President who could install SCOTUS justices his stand could have devestating results.
In all liklihood Republicans are pissed off at Giuliani because if he were a real conservative instead of a RINO he'd make a great leader with his fine leadership skills. But what good are excellent leadership skills if you're a liberal and a callous man who believes killing babies in the womb is a Constitutional right? Slavery was once a constitutional right too, but those who were 'personally opposed to it' were willing to fight and die to stop it. Giuliani is obviously not willing to try to reverse Roe v Wade if elected President, so he's a complete fraud when he says he "hates abortion". On domestic issues Giuliani is Bill Clinton with balls, but even a pair of balls wouldn't have made Clinton a good man, and they won't make Giuliani a good President.
