Flapsblog ^ | Jan 27, 2007

January 29, 2007

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.

January 30, 2007:

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.

I doubt that will happen. What has happened here for a long time though is that the self proclaimed "real conservatives" have turned on the President.

Hardly. The "real conservatives" still support Bush on Iraq and pro-life issues.

So you are NOT doing well. Do you think your hatred and mean-spiritedness has anything to do with how you are perceived?

You guarantee that Roe will be overturned? When?

I live in Utah. It's pretty conservative here :-) - but I'm a bit old to get pregnant :-)

See, you're hitting on something important here. One of the purposes of the Giuliani campaign is to lower the standard drastically. It's a win-win for those who want the GOP to be a Lite version of the corrupt Democrat Party.

But please answer: How do you feel you are doing so far in preventing abortions nation-wide?

Actually, I've become convinced that these folks are dead serious. Dead wrong, but dead serious. They think they can tell the base to go piss up a rope and win the White House.

It's a win-win for those who want the GOP to be a Lite version of the corrupt Democrat Party.

I'm also a realist. I'm for Duncan Hunter, but if one of the three alleged front-runners is going to win, I would prefer the guy who at least acknowledges the base instead of the other two who despise the base.

Let me correct the number.... I incorrectly used a wrong number..... Here is the quote I was referring to. It's $500,000,000 for each Party's candidate to make the primary/general campaign. That's one billion dollars to elect a president. Unbelievable. No single digit candidate will come close to that kind of money and thus can't get the necessary team in place or buy the media runs necessary to get their message out and counter the opposition's attacks.

Thanks! Do you think that Hunter has any chance of raising the kind of money needed to win?

The "real conservatives" have done everything in their small sphere of power to undermine his strength, hardly the thing to do to a man standing strong on issues near and dear to their heart.

Well, Hunter is at a distinct disadvantage for fund-raising as opposed to Rudy. Rudy is pro-amnesty, and he can hold $25,000 a plate fundraisers for folks who want the cheap illegal labor to keep coming.

However, more and more people are realizing they want none of the sort, and it won't take $25,000 a person to reach them.

Romney may be the worst of the lot.

How many Democrats do you know who could have left office having ushered in gay marriage, gay propagandation of the state's school children, socialized medicine, and the utter destruction of the state's GOP?

I'd really hate to see America and the Republican Party on the other side of a Romney Administration.

And that is a major consideration as well. Romney's positives are only conceivable as such as compared to Rudy and McVain.

As well as can be expected and no, I think it has more to do with the callous disregard for human life and moral bankruptcy of people like you

You guarantee that Roe will be overturned? When?

Yes. March 24, 2010 at 12:37 P.M.

I know, that's why I said it.

Nope, not sure that anyone does outside of the Clinton machine. If the oil industry and a few others come on board for Giuliani then he may make a reasonable showing in that direction. Hunter isn't known very well outside his locale would be my guess. I bet you could do a 'Jay Walk' around the streets of many cities across this land and not a very large percentage could tell you who he was, what his occupation was or where he was from.

Rudy thinks it's okay to suck their brains out. Do you approve?
