Mary Bonos campaign is sponsoring a golf event to raise funds for Giulianis 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 Giulianis Houston event is billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens Jr., chairman of the private equity firm BP Capital Management. Also on Giulianis 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.
Rudy has stated on the record that he would appoint judges in the mold of Scalia and Roberts.
Awards from Ronald Reagan are very important. Giving the annual lecture at the Reagan Library is very important.
You can't handle the truth!
Really? What award did Ronald Reagan give him? I think that might have been the liberal Nancy that presented the award in the name of her late husband, a great American. Rudy should not run on Reagan's name. Reagan is spinning in his grave with Rudy's association of his name, and the Giuliani social liberal ideals.
So now you are into trashing Nancy Reagan? What is with you?
Since you are an expert in communicating with the great beyond, what would Reagan think about your trashing his beloved wife?
I didn't trtash Nancy Reagan. I merely pointed out that she is a liberal Republican. I didn't realize saying someone is a liberal was trashing them. She and her husband disagreed on several issues, abortion being one of them.
How is Rudy responsible for women aborting their babies? The mentality of the extremists is almost identical to the mentality of many liberals. They are incapable of placing responsibility where it belongs (the ones having the abortion, and the abortionist doctors,) and instead hold the government in this case Rudy as the mayor of NYC - responsible for what others do. So in their narrow and obtuse mind, Rudy is the guilty party. The truth is, abortions in NYC decreased during Rudy's tenure as mayor:
According to the state Office of Vital Statistics, total abortions performed in New York City between 1993 (just before Giuliani arrived) and 2001 (as he departed) fell from 103,997 to 86,466 -- a 16.86 percent decrease. This upended a 10.32 percent increase compared to eight years before Giuliani, when 1985 witnessed 94,270 abortions.These so-called conservatives have no qualms posting anti Rudy disinformation from a Hillary site or the DU site. These honest, God-fearing conservatives accuse Rudy supporters of being, as one poster put it, liberal gun-grabbing abortionists. Just how sick is that?What about Medicaid-financed abortions? Under Giuliani, such taxpayer-funded feticides dropped 22.85 percent, from 45,006 in 1993 to 34,722 in 2001.
The abortion ratio also slid from 890 terminations per 1,000 live births in 1993 to 767 in 2001, a 13.82 percent tail-off. This far outpaced the 2.84 percent reduction from 1985s ratio of 916 to 1993s 890. While abortions remained far more common in Gotham than across America (2001s U.S. abortion ratio was 246), they diminished during Giulianis tenure, as they did nationally.
Giuliani essentially verbalized his pro-choice beliefs while avoiding policies that would have impeded abortions generally downward trajectory. link
I have never had an abortion and I never will, never! So when these mental cases accuse me of being an abortionist, gun-grabbing, gay lover, they reveal what they truly are - the ugly face of America. Only someone ignorant or hateful could post garbage like that.
I also read this morning that one of the individuals who accused Rudy of killing babies posted something to the effect of how do I tell my children that Rudy kills babies? As you can imagine, his post isn't worth a reply, but those are the people who give a bad name to FR, the Republican Party, and the conservative movement.
What that poster should teach his children is to NOT bully others. They are cyber-bullies who disparage the Rudy supporters with the intention to intimidate the lurkers and the undecided, and discourage their expression of ideas.
Why don't they just promote their preferred candidate? They won't, because deep inside they know that their candidate is a loser, so instead they run to the Rudy threads to do their bulling.
If Rudy can't win without their vote, why do they keep harassing his supporters?
They are an embarrassment to conservatism. They are the extremist fringe that the media loves to depict as typical conservatives.
I will try to ignore the bullies. I know, sometimes it's hard to not confront their lies and vile accusations, but there's no point having discussions with hate mongers.
LOL!!! You're getting better and better.
Turns out today I found out alot of them supported Allan Keyes in the 2000 election. They are hoping that Allan Keyes runs so that it will split the Republican vote and that way none of the Top three (McCain, Rudy or Romney) Republicans will lose and the Democrats will win. All this because they hate the top three. There is something seriously wrong with these people.
None of the top three candidates will lose= none of the top three candidates will win.
I was right. Hate is what drive this sickos. They can't get over the loss of the biggest Con of them all, Allan Keyes.
They know Keyes can't win squat, but they don't care. They don't care about the country, the military, or any damn thing.
I hope and pray Rudy wins without them.
You've taken my post out of context. What a shock. /s
Anyone who was an adult who read the original exchange would easily see that it was a joking response to one of your snarky friend's obnoxious attacks.
Grow up.
It's funny, but it's you that's being the pig. Oink.
By the way, that symbol is not one made up to plaster on gays. It's something they've invented and applied to themselves.
Just so you know, since I have to spell it out for you, I don't actually support making gays wear pink triangles.
Perhaps you could have, in your cut and paste, brought along the "/s" that closed said post? And perhaps shown the context of it? No? That would that have been too accurate for your purposes, I suppose...
Where do you think they got the pink triangle?
