I'd rather see Giuliani as NSA or Sec. of State than President. He'd be stellar at dealing with foreign affairs but I don't think he would pass my test on social issues-and I'm somewhat less socially conservative than many in the GOP. Although, since I'm anti-gay-marriage, pro-life, and pro-second amendment, I think I'm pretty much right in line with most.

Well, while you are dogging him, try to remember that the world changed that day... and what was acceptable to Rudy on 9/10 may not be acceptable to him on 9/12.

1066AD: Based upon what I've seen, he'd be preferable to McCain...

Well, what is everyone's concensus -- would you want Giuliani with his "know where he stands" social issue problem?
or McCain with his "where did that come from" insane ideas such as campaign finance (non)reform and other left leaning issues that he pops up with?

IMHO Rudy at least shows integrity -- something that we dont see much of from McCain or any Democrat (especially a Clinton)

Thanks for this post. I will not give up my weaponry to Rudy...but he does understand this war is against Islam. If he can clearly elucidate his position and if such position is against the threat of Islam...he has my vote.

I am sick and tired of the hand-holding and molly-coddling of Saudi Oil princes.

I would rather ride my bike to work or work by the internet...than hold hands with the enemy. >>

Let those sentiments -- and that he also support the American Declaration of Independence in its every sylable -- speed FRom your lips to G-d's ear!

[I also especially loved him when he told the Saudi 'prince' where to stick his post-September 11 2001 Ten Million Bucks]

Kewl!

But Rudy, how can we shoot at the sheet heads if we have no guns?

Two days after the concert an unrepentant Giuliani said, “I would not invite Yasir Arafat to anything, anywhere, anytime, anyplace. I don’t forget.”

Bravo.

[veronica]

Rudy for Prez.

Don't forget slick willie sending Chelsea in to talk to Arafat during the meetings at Wye River Plantation.

He thought she would be able to convince Arafat to sign on to peace.

What a sickening to do, next to making Chelsea pray with Jesse Jackson!

Why should Kerik be tied around Giuliani's neck? Kerik was competent on his job. If he was less then honest in his private life (although I don't see any charges) why should it reflect on Giuliani? If people in the White House committed criminal acts should it be blamed on Bush?

He is running for President. He would be an idiot- and therefore unqualified -if he ran for that office from the position of Director of FEMA for example. He would not be appointed by Bush to a major foreign policy position because he may not conform to this Administration's genuflecting to the Saudis. That's in his favor.

Speaking at a UJA-Federation fundraising breakfast shortly after the Lincoln Center controversy, Giuliani said he was “proud of that decision [booting Arafat]. I’d make it again, and the day I’d stop making it is the day I’d resign as mayor....When I write my memoirs, this is one of the things that I probably will be proudest of.”

Now there's a guy who tough!
