A Giuliani fund-raiser will be held Jan. 29 in Pacific Palisades, Calif., at the home of Bill Simon, the 2002 Republican candidate for governor of California, costing $2,300 a person and $4,600 per couple.

Mary Bono’s campaign is sponsoring a golf event to raise funds for Giuliani’s committee on Tuesday, at the Rancho Mirage home and golf course of Edra Blixseth, Porcupine Creek Golf Club. Information: (310) 500-4284 or by e-mail at events@marybono.com
February 1, 2007:
Texas Republican contributors are being solicited to spend $30,000 for dinner with former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani at the Houstonian Hotel in Houston Feb. 1 to finance his “presidential exploratory committee.” The “private” dinner will follow a 6:30 to 8 p.m. cocktail reception, costing $2,100 a person and $4,200 for couples.
The best-known host of Giuliani’s Houston event is billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens Jr., chairman of the private equity firm BP Capital Management. Also on Giuliani’s Texas fund-raising team are Tom Hicks, whose company owns the Texas Rangers baseball team; oil industry executive Jim Lee; and lawyer Patrick C. Oxford.
Ah.
So the liberal Republicans, having damaged the base, say they are the only ones to repair it.
You may want to take a look at the Democratic Party.
Oh, T. Paine was a drunk who maligned Geo. Washington and later alienated Thomas J.
After two-hundred plus years you still can't pick a winner, can you!?
Oh no thanks, I'm happy with the diversity in the GOP. Have you looked at the Constitution Party? You could find ideological purity there. Imagine :-)
You get funnier all the time. Being deaf to the cries of the murdered children probably does that to you.
Spoken like a good liberal.
Looks like your reading comprehension is as bad as your dislike for Rudy. What's the point replying to you? LOL!!!
Soft on Gay Marriage
Other than tax cuts, the biggest domestic issue of the 2004 election was President Bush's support of a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani has taken a "Kerryesque" position on gay marriage.
Although Rudy, like John Kerry, has said that marriage should remain between a man and a woman, he also supports civil unions, "marched in gay-pride parades" ...dressed up in drag on national television for a skit on Saturday Night Live (and moved in with a) wealthy gay couple" after his divorce. He also very vocally opposed running on a gay marriage amendment:
His thoughts on the gay-marriage amendment? "I don't think you should run a campaign on this issue," he told the Daily News earlier this month. "I think it would be a mistake for anybody to run a campaign on it -- the Democrats, the president, or anybody else."
Here's more from the New York Daily News:
"Rudy Giuliani came out yesterday against President Bush's call for a ban on gay marriage.
The former mayor, who Vice President Cheney joked the other night is after his job, vigorously defended the President on his post-9/11 leadership but made clear he disagrees with Bush's proposal to rewrite the Constitution to outlaw gays and lesbians from tying the knot.
"I don't think it's ripe for decision at this point," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"I certainly wouldn't support [a ban] at this time," added Giuliani..."
Although Rudy may grudgingly say he doesn't support gay marriage (and it would be political suicide for him to do otherwise), where he really stands on the issue is an open question.
I like Thomas Paine. Did you know that Washington and Jefferson had their problems, too. It was a miracle that all the Founders got along as long as they did!
He'll need a massive media buy just to convince them he even exists.
We've had a quarter million signups here at FR. That greatly overstates the number of active posters and lurkers we have. After you remove all the trolls, folks who've lost interest, multiple accounts, etc., there are probably twenty to thirty thousand of us who routinely come to the site.
On any given day, it's probably 1/10th of that who actually make a post.
You might be able to convince the majority (probably not) that a particular candidate deserves the support of Freepers, but winning this forum is not at all like winning a real election outside.
Hunter will require massive money just to get to where he's a contender. If he's planning to do it on a shoestring, forget it.
I have to disagree, what you just wrote is!
Only a casual fan can't tell the difference between the right and left. Only the deceptive fan persistently leaves out the plays that make them different in an effort to tell us they are all the same.
I am funny. But I do wonder how you feel - having failed so badly in saving the country? I'm sure it leads to much of your hatred.
Name calling is a liberal tactic. Is that why you do it?
Who cares where he stands personally? I want to know only that he believes it should be decided by the people, not the courts.
Pot, kettle, black.... LOL
Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension.
I see alleged conservatives telling the GOP to vote for someone who is pro-choice. Pro-amnesty. And pro-gun-control. Someone with serious personal political and personal baggage.
And then someone like you says he isn't even really all that conservative. So when I agree with your own statement, I HAVE THE READING COMPREHENSION PROBLEM? Seems to me you have the logic and reason problem. Or maybe Tourette's Syndrome.
What's the point replying to you? LOL!!!
Oh, I heartily agree that you should not reply to the likes of me. I will take your pro-Rudy posts and shred them to pieces. You would be better off ignoring me and others like me.
Except for the fact that Rudy cannot win the White House without folks like me.
How about a figure. Deport thinks at least $100 million. How much do you think Hunter will need?
Talking to yourself again.
