Rudy like all Northern Republicans have to be liberal on some social issues merely to survive politically in those states. It is very often the fact that once a politician leaves the home state for national politics their platforms change radically.
I believe a Guliani/Rice ticket would be unbeatable and would so hurt the demonrats that they may even cease to exist as a party. A Guliani/Rice ticket would give Republicans the Catholic vote, The New York vote, and the Black vote. It would be a landslide not seen since Reagan.
Two CFR lackeys would be the dream team for the globalist elite.
But I'd never trust either one of them to uphold or protect the Constitution.
While I think Guliani would have the same Catholic problem as Kerry, especially with Benedict XVI, I'd rather speculate on Rudy/Rice. My take is that IF Guliani is on top of the ticket, it will need to be balanced by a real social conservative, most likely Sam Brownback.
Speaking strategically I think you could have Rudy or Rice on a ticket but not both, and either would be better on the bottom of the ticket than the top.
Oh please, that's utter hogwash.
Rudy's from NY, IS NY, will always be NY. And he always WAS a liberal and always WILL be a liberal. That's who he is. A tough on crime Liberal statist, who calls himself a republican.
And lest we forget, Rudy was a Democrat - and not like RR where the party left him. Rudy changed for political expediency.
Plus he talks funny.
At least 'Da Mare', Richie Daley went to a speech coach.
