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.

We are not all clones of one another. We all have our own conscience, and experiences, and intellectual portfolios.

Hate to break the news to you but you are not allowed to think on here and have your own ideas or you will not be counted one of the 'true' conservatives and will be out in cold with the rest of us that are not worthy to be on this site as we don't march in lockstep! :)

Rudy cannot win the Whitehouse with folks like you. He is not going to be the Republican nominee.

Heard the same thing that she wants troops out of Iraq before Pres Bush leaves office but these folks on here that hate Rudy obviously don't care since only one issue counts.

So glad my daughter and son-in-law don't have to go back to a combat zone for the Navy. All the terrorist have to do is wait for Pres Bush to get out of office and hope that Clinton gets elected and their problems are over -- they can take over the US without a fight and the social issues go out the window but these folks stand on principle so they will be happy.

I've seen nastier ones, on other threads, posted by the usual suspects. But yes, that IS a pretty vile one.

I suspect that they all have problems with rejection. *shrugs*

I just heard on Fox News that Hillary said today, that it is Pres. Bush's responsibility to have all of the troops out of Iraq before 2008..

That it would be the height of irresponsibility to pass this war onto the next President!!!

This woman has no clue what war means..

"I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal.

I do that in spite of my own personal reservations. I have a daughter now; if a close relative or a daughter were pregnant, I would give my personal advice, my religious and moral views ...

DONAHUE: Which would be to continue the pregnancy.

GIULIANI: Which would be that I would help her with taking care of the baby. But if the ultimate choice of the woman - my daughter or any other woman - would be that in this particular circumstance [if she had] to have an abortion, I'd support that. I'd give my daughter the money for it."

"I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights,Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing," he responded." -- CNN.com, "Inside Politics" Dec 2, 1999

Question: Do you agree with Giuliani, and would you pay to have your own grandchild killed?

[Sunsong]

Hillary and her party are the enemy, and people here apparently need reminding.

Thanks for your post!

Far too many people here play at being "experts", but have never actually worked on one.

Money is the MOTHER'S MILK of politics; it always has been.

[Txsleuth]

LOL..yeah, that is right.

He won his "wars" without losing a troop...because they were all in jets!!

Or, in the case of Waco..in bulldozers.

[EternalVigilance]

I was trying to come with the right word to describe you, and I think I've got it narrowed down to two possibles: "Obnoxious," or simply "noxious." Still thinking on it...

[Sunsong]

That's ironic - I would use those words to describe you :-)

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL Yep. "Fighting" harmless "enemies" of the left.

[onyx]

Take heart. They're posting here...lol. Not like they're out actually WORKING against your candidate. :0)

It wasn't long ago, the single biggest issue facing one-issue voters was "securing the borders", now it's "Rudy bashing".

[PhiKapMom]

LOL! Good one!

[Torie]

OK, Rudy had a "un-nuanced" view on the abotion issue in 1999. You have him! The odd little thing, is that Democrats when seeking higher office, seem to have revelations in one direction, and Pubbies another, on this issue. Far too few have thought it out outside the psephological hothouse, like say, picking someone at random, Torie has, to have at least a seemingly "principled" point of view that can "sell" across zip codes. Maybe politics has something to do with not being Quixotic in one's zip code. Winning is like making sausage. Don't do it at home.

I deny the premise of your statement. There are numerous other potential nominees who would be stronger on national security than Rudy. As a matter of fact I have seen nothing to indicate Rudy is a strong national security candidate.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to matter and the debate will be pointless. Congressman David Vitter, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee stated today that the troop surge is, for all practical purposes, the last stand and if the situation in Iraq has not dramatically improved in six months, withdrawal will become the focus.

We'll be fortunate to make it to 2008.

LOL! Her husband sure depleted our stock of Cruise Missiles considering he was a peacetime President! :)
