I don't know...
I might want someone who can actually win the election, and was an extremely effective administrator of one of the largest cities on earth, turning it from a craphole to a nice place, myself.
Others may prefer someone who will nobly lose to Hilary Clinton while shilling for their favorite social con hobbyhorses.
So what do we get, a real nice country going to a real nice hell?
bttt
Uh, putting on a dress for a gag once, and then performing a mocking reprise of it on SNL, does not a drag queen make.
We don't want some dumb comedian for a President either, right? So Richard Nixon's "Sock it to me!" cameo on "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In" means he's unfit for the Republican nomination.
And we don't want some pompous know-nothing actor for President, right? So that Ronald Reagan fellow...
Consider whether New York City is a more family-friendly place now than in the 70s.
Farah's problem is he's probably turned on by the Rudy in drag photos and it makes him uncomfortable.
So if Rudy is the Republican candidate I'll vote for him even if Perot does decide to run.
It's never been nicer for flaming queers and abortuaries.
Boy, you're awfully terrified of gays, aren't you?
As cliche as it sounds, I'm really convinced people THAT obsessed with the whole thing have their own repressed "issues" along those lines....
Disgusted. Like a cat barf that covers the whole town.
And it's ALSO never been cleaner or safer.
I can ignore a flaming queer. I cannot ignore a mugger who shoves a knife in my face. If Giulliani can make there be less muggers, then I really don't care if he happens to also make there be more flaming queers. I recommend you re-think your priorities.

I could accept this as a gag, if he did not support killing babies...that is no joke.
He made it 'clean' and 'safe' by making it so much of a doggone nuisance to be there unless you're totally obsessed about watching every p and q. And of course if you're a preborn baby, you aren't going to find much comfort that your muggers are dressed in white smocks instead of jeans and tee shirts.
That's fine. We can talk about his stances on abortion, gun control, gay marriage, and the death penalty without muddying the waters about talking about the time he wore a dress on TV.
Personally I'm with Strategerist. I'd rather compromise and have a less-than-perfect Republican President than proudly and nobly end up with a perfect Democrat.
Gun beats knife...and rock, paper, scissors in world of real politics.
Rudy's not a big fan of the second amendment...good luck in the primaries...LOL!
Giulani... fuhgeddaboudit!!!
One picture of Rudy in a theatrical spoof, does not make him unfit to be President, as already pointed out in another post. I don't agree with Rudy on a lot of positions, but if the 'Rat nominee is Mrs. Bill Clinton, Americans don't have a lot of choices except to throw that lever for the GOP, and if that equates to voting "against" someone instead of "for" someone, so be it.
As for Joe Farah and his pompous decrees about "not being fooled", one only needs to look at his own hypocrisy in "fooling" thousands of people into forking over $99 dollars for his bogus "G2 Intel Newsletter" with all of it's panic headlines and profiteering on the topics of "American Hiroshima", "Nukes Under Our Beds" and all that rot. Farah is a fearmongering web pimp, and if he is against Rudy, that is all the more reason to vote for the man. Or drag queen. Or whatever. Rudy believes in winning the War on Terror, and taking no prisoners, and I daresay he would prosecute that war with even more vigor than the Bush Administration. That's good enough for me.
Nitpick much? I was making a point about Giulliani's toughness on crime. It wasn't a salient point of the argument whether a hypothetical attacker attacks me with a gun or a knife, nor whether or not I'd be successful in defending myself. I'd rather not be attacked in the first place.
Yes, Giulliani's got problems with the Second Amendment, and I've got problems with him for that. But I've got a much bigger problem with a President Hillary.
Then in 2001, he agreed to appear in drag in an episode of "Queer As Folk."
Someone should remind Rudy that the buzzphrase is What Would Jesus DO, not How Would Jesus Talk. He's a Clinton in elephant's clothing.
