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.

And just where did he do this "spoof"

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.

Hear hear! That right there is all that matters.

We're talking about electing a PRESIDENT. That's the head of the Executive Branch. The primary function of the Executive Branch is to enforce laws. That means that the single most important characteristic of a Commander-in-Chief is to defend this nation at home and abroad. All other concerns, be they social, economic, whatever, are entirely relevant, but play second fiddle to the question of whom you trust most to find and rough up the bad guys.

When he spoke at the Republican convention, I knew that he understood the fight better than most. I think he would put other on the backburner in order to fight the terrorists. Not my first choice, but we need someone committed to the war.

I see and hear this kind of thing all the time, but I have never seen a single shred of evidence of this -- other than a general perception that Rudy is "tough on [enter issue of the day here]."

With every day that passes, I'm more convinced that he isn't even going to run for the White House at all. He'd get thrashed thoroughly in either the GOP primaries or the general election -- and he knows this better than anyone.

I think you might be right on this.
