Giuliani/Sessions in 08!
Ru-dy! . . . Ru-dy! . . . Ru-dy!

While RudyG straightened out NYCitys finances and got them out of the red, he didn't do away with the city income tax and he didn't reduce the size of the city government. Giuliani is the same type of politico as Schwarzenegger is. They're both big government, liberal Republicans. Reminds me of something Tom McClintock said back during 2003 Cal recall election.
"I have always thought that one of the phoniest claims in California politics is that 'I'm a fiscal conservative but a social liberal,' which always invites the question: 'How do you plan to pay for your socially liberal programs with your fiscally conservative policies?"
A truer statement has never been made.

Me too. But the anti-Rudy brigade here is very, very loud.

I am glad you guys weren't around in 1776, we would all still be British subjects.In '92 and again in '96 a 3rd party candidate emerged, and many took him for a conservative. Plain spoken, roll up the sleeves and fix it kind of guy.
Had you guys not been around in '92, and bought into the Perot BS, while ignoring the Clinton BS, we would have been spared eight years of national humiliation!

They said the same thing about George W. Bush, too.
I make no predictions about whether he'll win or not, but I've been saying for years that all this adulation for Rudy Giuliani is a farce. He ain't going to run, and for a number of different reasons -- one of which is that he knows he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning.
Rudy Giuliani is going to be the 2008 version of Colin Powell -- the closet Democrat who gets trotted around the Republican campaign trail to show voters how "inclusive" the party is and to secure support among specific constituent groups.

Hey Don-o....how about a little monetary bet on that with me? $50 says either Rudy or McCain gets the nomination.

If Rudy is at the top of the ticket I'll vote for him as well. I disagree with him on many things, but if he comes out and explains himself, and can make assurances that he won't govern the country the way he governed New York(gun control), he'll get my vote. I would like to see Bush get one more judge on the SCOTUS.

I certainly would prefer a conservative Pubbie nominee to Rudy, but certainly better Rudy than McInsane ...
It would concern me what kind of nominees a Prez Rudy would send to the Supreme Court, but at least they would be preferable to any nominees from a Demonkat Prez ...

I like Mike Pence. Pence is a Reagan conservative too. Except for his switch on the immigration issue, I like his politics. If Pence won the GOP noimination, I'd vote for him.

The social issues all belong at the states rights level. Rudy should run on getting all the social issues voted on by each state.
Go Rudy!

You're on. But, the $50 goes to the Freepathon.
Deal?

Sorry -- that was my mistake.
John Kerry was the "dork" in the last campaign. But that didn't keep him from getting far more support in the general election than he should have gotten.
