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.

Hi PK Mom I've been posting this........

Get This.....

Indeed, Feb. 5, 2008, may become Super-Duper Tuesday with, perhaps, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah voting on the same day..


Think about that. That means the nominee won't just be able to go to IA and NH shake some hands and come from nowhere.

They will need an entire national ground game and close to 100 million to buy radio and TV ads within a year.

They have to make the ads ....hire thousands of people..pollsters...consultants...the logistacs in this time constrant are staggering.

There are 5 people in the country who can pull that off. Rudy,Romney,McCaine, Hillary and maybe Obama or Colin Powell.

The rest of the pack is already toast.

I think what's really bothering them is that Giuliani won the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award.

It's been called other things in other articles that sound too much like the Presidential Medal of Freedom and it's making the men in particular hysterical with anger.

Rudy Guiliani has marched in lockstep with liberals on affirmative action, gay rights, gay marriage, gun control, school prayer, tuition tax credits, liberal immigration policies, and he's reinforced it, time and time again. Just about everytime Rudy opens his mouth, offensive liberal words come pouring out. As Mayor, Rudy put liberals in high-paid city jobs, an indication what a Rudy WH would look like. Here then is Rudy in his own words:

--The New York State Liberal Party on its endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for Mayor: "When the Liberal Party Policy Committee reviewed a list of key social issues of deep concern to progressive New Yorkers, we found that Rudy Giuliani agreed with the Liberal Party's stance on a majority of such issues. He agreed with the Liberal Party's views on affirmative action, gay rights, gun control, school prayer and tuition tax credits. As Mayor, Rudy Giuliani would uphold the Constitutional and legal rights to abortion." N.Y.S. Liberal Party Endorsement Statement of Candidate Giuliani for Mayor of New York City April 8, 1989

--On the Republican Party: "Mr. Rockefeller represented 'a tradition in the Republican Party' I've worked hard to re-kindle - the Rockefeller, Javits, Lefkowitz tradition." Rudy Giuliani told the New York Times July 9, 1992

--Village Voice Interview with Guiliani: He was asked: "What kind of Republican Is [Giuliani]? A Reagan Republican?" Giuliani pauses before answering: "I'm a Republican." Village Voice January 24, 1989

--On Attending 1996 Republican Convention: Rudy expressed his pleasure when he wasn't invited to the Republican National Convention in San Diego. "If I take three or four days off from city business, I want to do it for a substantive purpose. It didn't seem to me any substantive purpose could be served by going to the Republican convention." said Rudy. Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Page 459, by Wayne Barrett

--On Barry Goldwater: Giuliani described John Kennedy as "great and brilliant. Barry Goldwater as an "incompetent, confused and sometimes idiotic man." New York Daily News, May 13, 1997

--On President Bill Clinton: Shortly before his last-minute endorsement of Bob Dole in the 1996 presidential election, Giuliani told the Post's Jack Newfield that "most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett.

--The Daily News quoted Giuliani as saying March 1996: "Whether you talk about President Clinon, Senator Dole.... The country would be in very good hands in the hands of any of that group." An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani, Wayne Barrett.

Hey Spiff - I asked you on another thread for a link to your little research there and I can see you don't have links to back up this little spam you keep posting.

Funny, I don't see you refuting anything Spiff has posted.

[narses]

Gorbachev won too. Does that make him a candidate you'd support?

[narses]

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.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

Shouting will not change anyone's mind, and neither will your serial postings. I think you're a hater and a I know you're an afer and a spammer.

I don't have a favorite candidate, but I note that you're sure worried that people can't make up their own minds without your input.

Colossal arrogance on your part.

[dirtboy]

Gorbachev won too. Does that make him a candidate you'd support?

I'd be scared to hear their answers.

[TommyDale]

Hey, Peach. To be fair, I have asked for documentation that proves that Giuliani is actually a hero as claimed. So far, no one has been able to produce that either.

[Spiff]

Funny, I don't see you refuting anything Spiff has posted.

No one has. They just stick their fingers in their ears and start blathering "lalalalala....I'm not listening!" Funny, that.

[dirtboy]

I think you're a hater

HAAATER! HAAATER! HAAATER!

The last resort of those who cannot address the facts as presented. Whether they are pubbie or Clintonista, the concept is the same. Call the annoying facts the result of hate and don't bother addressing them.

[Peach]

That's not how it works around here and you know it. Freepers are expected to give links when they post stuff like that and Spiff hasn't done so.

[onyx]

In which country, silly narses?

[Corin Stormhands]

Rudy's coming to Richmond, Virginia on February 16th.

Tickets are a bit out of my price range.

[narses]

Did Rudy get a Bronze Star? A Purple Heart? Maybe even a Good Conduct Ribbon?

[dirtboy]

That's not how it works around here and you know it. Freepers are expected to give links when they post stuff like that and Spiff hasn't done so.

If you were not so factually-challenged, I'd think you had a leg to stand on here.

[Peach]

Can you see the fear and hysteria? It comes through in every post. I like three candidates, but the way these posters are acting, they sure are pushing me Rudy's way.

[Peach]

Where did you ask and what do you want to know?

[TommyDale]

Yes, no doubt Rudy is a real conservative. Especially with his positions on abortion, partial birth abortion, homosexual marriage and/or civil unions, amnesty for illegals, stem cell research, and gun control.

[onyx]

Pssssst, dirtboy. I don't have a favorite candidate. Too bad you're resorting to such childishness, when you did make a good point on another thread about McCain's cancer versus Rudy's.
