I didn't know this about Rudy SJackson

Now that how you run a city Italian style LOL!

[Wagonboy]

Remember, too, he returned the $10mil check to that scum Saudi prince who watered down and twisted the cause and blame for 9/11. The liberal MSM and the Bos-Wash elite gave birth to entire herds of cows with that brilliant stroke. Giuliani's not afraid to put his money (and integrity) where his mouth is. A real stand up American. Wb

[Sabramerican]

Agree with every word you wrote except the VP.

I prefer Brownback. Others. Not another Bush.

Rudy Giuliani's only problem was that he was completely full of sh!t and prone to these periodic acts of political grandstanding.

During his term as mayor of New York he maintained an official policy among city agencies under which municipal employees were not permitted to turn over illegal aliens to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. So for all the symbolism of this move to "expel," it's worth noting this . . . If Mohammed Atta had been arrested for jumping a subway turnstile on September 10th of 2001 and had an open warrant from the INS for violating the terms of his visa, he would have been back out on the street within a couple of hours.

It was a great night when Rudy tossed the AIDS-ridden pedophile terrorist. Can't believe it was ten years ago.

[Sabramerican]

He did what he had to do as mayor of NYC.

This is a law and order guy and it is absurd to believe he would be lenient of illegal immigrants on a National level. Or at least worse then Bush.

"This is a law and order guy and it is absurd to believe he would be lenient of illegal immigrants on a National level. Or at least worse then Bush."

Unfortunately, its really really difficult to be worse than Bush on illegal immigration.

[Alberta's Child]

That's utter BS. If "he did what he had to do as mayor of NYC," then he would have left Arafat alone. Like I said -- he's full of sh!t and prone to political grandstanding.

This is a law and order guy . . .

Then where did Bernie Kerik come from?

[My GOP]

"This is a law and order guy . . . Then where did Bernie Kerik come from?"

First off, Giuliani isn't responsible for the personal life of someone he appointed to office while mayor. Secondly, the crime rate dropped under Giuliani and Kerik. The crime rate dropped because of Giuliani and Kerik's tough law and order ways.

[Sabramerican]

At the verge of indictments in the Bush Administration you believe he should be responsible for Kerik?

Going after illegal immigrants in NYC would have torn the fabric of city. That's just the way it is in NYC.

Arafat has nothing to do with the above.

I got two moving violations when he was Mayor. I cursed him on both occasions because I believe- to this day- they were undeserved.

He is not a saint, maybe an a**hole. He is just the best available. Head and shoulders above anyone else for these times.

What's Giuliani's position regarding guns ?

How's his health these days ?

Based upon what I've seen, he'd be preferable to McCain who keeps getting touted for 08.

[My GOP]

I know while Mayor of NYC, he wanted to make it tougher to purchase guns(waiting periods, ect.) His health as far as I know is good, its certainly alot better than Cheney's. I would very much prefer Giuliani over McCain.

[blam]

So, Rudy is running in 2008? (That's what this article means to me.)

[Alberta's Child]

Giuliani certainly is responsible for greasing the career track in the NYPD for someone whose only qualification was that he served as the mayor's personal driver and knew how to keep his mouth shut.

[Alberta's Child]

At the verge of indictments in the Bush Administration you believe he should be responsible for Kerik?

How does the timing of the potential indictments in the Bush administration have anything to do with Kerik?

He is not a saint, maybe an a**hole. He is just the best available. Head and shoulders above anyone else for these times.

Yeah, sure. That's why this administration (or anyone else in a position of authority during "these times") has appointed him to a position of responsibility where he can put his talents to good use. /sarcasm off/

[Terridan]

He's the only politician I've heard say what EVERYONE really thinks, out loud... Love him!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

You may take Rudy out of New York, but you can't take the New York out of Rudy.
If this is the future path of the Republican Party, God help us!

[carton253]

Well, it's a post 9/11 world. What would Rudy do now?

[Alberta's Child]

Good question. You'd have to ask him that.

Since he's no longer mayor and even seems to be deliberately avoiding any opportunity to run for public office, anything would be sheer speculation anyway.
