April 19, 2006 -- BLUE BELL, Pa. - Rudy Giuliani took a few swipes at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday while campaigning for a Republican senator. In a speech on behalf of Sen. Rick Santorum, Giuliani recalled that for most of his mayoralty, there was one Republican and one Democratic senator representing New York. MO< "[For] one year, I had Hillary," he mock-complained, drawing laughter.
After a pause, he continued: "There's that book that just came out . . . [it] points out that one thing that Hillary and I do have in common: We're both Yankee fans. I became a Yankee fan growing up in New York. She became a Yankee fan growing up in Chicago."
Giuliani's reference to the latest anti-Hillary tome, which accuses her of pandering, recalled his jabs at Clinton's non-New York roots when they headed for a showdown in the 2000 Senate race, before he withdrew.

>Great post. For the Rudy detractors who don't think he's far enough to the right...... he is supporting Rick Santorum FWIW.<
Who he is supporting has no bearing on his personnel values which are not acceptable to the majority of conservatives.
Hillary panders? Who knew?
Yup - and turns out it was standing room only crowd!
Truth be told, the folks who wouldn't support Rudy don't support our President either.
Jeeze that didn't take long. Regardless of how you feel about Rudy - NOONE does more to raise money for the Republicans than Giuliani. That's what's important her NOT social issue!
Dear OldFriend,
"Truth be told, the folks who wouldn't support Rudy don't support our President either."
A poor generalization.
I supported President Bush in 2004 and 2000, gave money to the campaign, and would vote for him for president again. I think the president has made some mistakes along the way, and I don't agree with everything he's done. However, I agree with most of his efforts, and applaud his many successes.
Nonetheless, I won't vote for Mr. Giuliani for president.

Most important issue IMO is continuity in the War on Terror after President Bush leaves office -- Rudy will deliver. He cleaned up NYC, took down the mob and put his life on the line to lead the city, and to some degree the country, in the aftermath of 9/11.

When it comes to electing a president I had enough with womanizing,pro-homosexual and pro abortion candidates when Clinton left office.GOP does not need to replicate the democrats mistake.
Open minded rinos will support conservatives, but for "real conservatives" supporting "rinos", You can forget it.
The "real conservatives" have a whole series of litmus tests. The words "closed minded" and "intolerant" come to mind.
What was that about "he who throws stones" ?

BINGO!!!
I learned a long time ago that a person's character is much more important than their belief on tax policy or defense.Those opinions change with the circumstances.Integrity wins out in the end.
RUDY! :)
>What was that about "he who throws stones" ?<
That's exactly how the dems defended Clinton.
Well if that was the case we should never have elected Reagan to the presidency Twice - HE WAS DIVORCED! But I am proud of my 2 votes for Reagan. Every politician has skeletons in their closets and all of them are human.

He did not have his girlfriend living in the Ca.Governors mansion while he was still married.
Rudy is a good Republican but he is no conservative. Lincoln Chaffee used to be a good Republican.
Rudy did not have his present wife living in the Gracie Mansion at all. His ex-wife Donna Hanover would not even allow Rudy to live there much less his then girlfriend. She wanted all the perks of being a mayor's wife without having to Really truly be a wife to him. She lived in the mansion that is why Rudy had to move in with his two friends.
