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.
The reason it adds to the discussion is you doubted someone from Utah on what cost elections there. We had the same thing happen here.
I've seen your crowd tell conservatives to leave the GOP more times than I can count today.
The RINO plan for electoral success. Peachy.
But, here's the fact you'll have to face someday: A large majority of Republicans, the mainstream, like me, are pro-life, pro-constitution, pro-family and anti-liberal. If you don't like that, tough. We'll leave when we want to, not when you tell us to. And it probably won't be until stupidity reigns to the extent that the GOP nominates a liberal who abrogates the Reagan platform. Someone like Rudy McRomney.
You haven't even made it clear what the problem is. Your story is very light on facts.
Go check Freep Mail. The Rep they want to kick out has the details on the corruption.
People don't want to vote "against" something or someone; they want to vote FOR someone.
Name recognition is all well and good; however a "Q" rating, as it is called, can also have a negative affect.
Money is the LIFE'S BLOOD of politics! Why do you think that so many incumbent Dems wanted McCain-Feingold? Money IS freedom of speech!
People do NOT be scared of a candidate and even when he or she stands for what they, themselves also believe in, they really don't want to find that person to be ugly, scary, and off putting.
Being lectured to and scolded does NOT help; even Dems don't like it, which is why Hollyweird is now looking at Obama with dewy eyes and trying to forget about Hillary.
Could someone like Lincoln win a presidential election today? No, but then, neither could his Dem rival.
Even at the end of the 19th century, before there was T.V. and movies, political candidates were often chosen becuase they LOOKED GOOD. They may not look all that "good" to us today, but that is only because style and fashions change.
People did NOT vote for JFK because of what he said; most people voted for him because HE LOOKED GOOD, his father spread a fortune around, and because he was a Cathollic! And let's not forget or pretend otherwise....that election was stolen!
Read and replied.
Thanks!
And FYI........mainstream folks, you know, the ones you claim to be just like, well a LOT of them really LIKE Rudy and are going to vote for him in the primaries! They do NOT like your pal Alan!
Well, if those "mainstream" folks do vote for the extreme left Giuliani, it will because they were fooled, not because they agree with his pro-abort, pro-homosexual agenda, gungrabbing ideology.
You people are the one freaking out with all of this "if Hillary wins, we're all going to die" crap.
They're all "fooled", but YOU aren't; no, YOU with your vile posts, especially the lie filled ones and the one you claim was just a bit of "sarcasm", are wide awake, eyes wide open, who see everything as it is...............NOT!
LOL...nopardons, at least you're not fooled. You really do believe in liberalism, and you've got years of FR posts to prove it.
Yes, MY posts tell a story; so do all of yours and your posts prove just what and who you are. Dwell on that!
Are you saying that he opposes Roe v. Wade?
So, you think that a state, if they wanted to, could legalize murder?
Ever read the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments? The Preamble? The Declaration of Independence?
Not that it would matter...
Liar. It's just that for some of us, winning isn't everything, or even the first thing. As I said in the post you're lying about: Bill Clinton won. Big deal. What good did that do the country? Shoot, Hitler won election.
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
I have a very hard time believing that Rudy opposes Roe v. Wade, but I need to get back to sleep. I'll do some Googling in the morning.
But since you want to go down that road, and yes I know what primrose path you're trying to lead me down, here goes an answer which YOU aren't going to like at all. LOL
Since some people, though not I, consider the death penalty to be "murder", then yes, a state can, if they wanted to, legalize murder...in a way.
Right now, this minute, whether you or I or anyone else likes it or not, abortion happens to be legal, all over the this nation. It is the law of the land and you aren't going to get that changed by backing losing candidates for office and calling Conservatives "Liberals" or any other names.
