We Must Put Forward Rudy (editorial)
Red State ^ | May 17, 2007 | Bob Erlich

Posted on 05/18/2007 7:20:00 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

It is clear that Rudy Giuliani is the right man at the right time. Rudy is already showing the leadership skills of a President and it is still early on the campaign. In the Fox News debate, Rudy stressed to the American people that we as a nation must focus on the terrorists’ war against us and our economy. Those are the defining issues of our time, and we need a strong leader like Rudy who is focused on defending this country against terrorism and growing our economy.

Rudy’s answers on foreign policy issues show that he will not let this country fall back into a pre-9/11 mentality. He has seen first hand what happens if we do not stay on offense against the terrorists, and he will use his power as President to keep the country on offense.

On growing the economy, just this week, Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said “It is impossible to ignore Giuliani's overall commitment to a pro-growth philosophy and his executive talent for implementing that philosophy in a hostile political environment.” The Club for Growth praised Mayor Giuliani’s record of cutting taxes and drastically cutting spending. His proven record as a fiscal conservative in New York City makes him the ideal candidate to clean up Washington’s nonstop spending.

Read on . . .

Rudy Giuliani is the one candidate that is focused on the positive ideas that unite our party, proving why he is uniquely qualified to win the general election. Not only is Rudy the frontrunner in the polls, he is leading the Republican Party down a path to victory over a Democratic candidate.

Rudy is right when he says our party must unite in this election because if we don’t unite around our general principles, we will lose.

Quit bogarting the Rudy-Aid and pass the jug over to me.

Bob Erlich is the former Governor of Maryland. He has endorsed Giuliani for President. This could carry some weight in Maryland.

No, what America needs is someone who is right on terrorism and right on domestic issues. Rudy isn’t it. McCain isn’t it. Ron Paul isn’t it. Those three have pretty much eliminated themselves.

What a shock! A liberal RINO endorsing another liberal RINO.

BWAHAAA! Where the f-ck is Rutard’s credibility on “national security?” One big stump speech in front of some burning buildings, and since then some rather inane boiler plate template milking 9/11 for all of its worth. If that’s “leadership” then this country really is going down the crapper...

Rudy is not a fiscal conservative, and his support for liberal social issues undermines his character and whatever (lack thereof) leadership abilities he possesses.

Sorry, he is not the right man, and he is proving that it isn't his time.

Go Fred!

I would have guessed Maryland would have voted for either Giuliani or McCain, this is not too suprising.

Unite for abortion, gay rights, gun control and amnesty? Yeah, right, Bob. Way to unite a conservative party. Buy a clue.

You are exactly right! There is only one Reagan Republican running in the race: Duncan Hunter! This article talks in very vague generalities about a "strong"leader. He could be talking about Hitler for all we know.

Duncan Hunter has been in congress since 1980. He is 100% conservative. He wrote the bill to build the border fence. He is on the Armed Force Committee(chairman up until quite recently).

There is no real parity between someone of Mr. Gullianni's poor public conduct(his treatment of his wife) and Congressman Hunter( Vietnam Vet)

It's time we stopped pussey-footing around and got on with the show

You’re right. The endorsement might carry weight in Maryland. In other states, no one will care about that endorsement. The majority of Republicans I know don’t want to have a president who is pro-choice, pro-gun control, and pro-gay marriage. Rudy doesn’t have enough political experience. The last nine presidents (JFK-GWB) were governors or U.S. reps., and Rudy was only a mayor.

I’ll volunteer for Tommy Thompson. While he was governor for 14 years, he proved that he’s pro-tax cuts, pro-welfare cuts, pro-life, pro-capital punishment, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage. He says that he wants to deport as many illegal aliens as possible, as quickly as possible. Two of the last three republican presidents were governors. Thompson was a governor almost as long as Huckabee and Romney, combined. The last president who had been a mayor was Grover Cleveland, and he was a governor between being a mayor and president.
