“People are concerned about really basic, big issues — issues of war and peace, literally. The days of the tail wagging the dog on social issues are over. It’s not that people don’t care about them, it’s just that they have a new take on prioritizing.”

Anyone making that statement when talking about gun control and war and peace is disingenuous at best or incredibly naive. It also ignores the aftermath of Katrina. I thought the article was more interesting for what it said about McCain.

The answer is: "NO!"

Go back to New York and run against Hillary!. As a Democrat.

"I do not think the government should cut off the right to bear arms. My position for many years has been that just as a motorist must have a license, a gun owner should be required to have one as well. Anyone wanting to own a gun should have to pass a written exam that shows that they know how to use a gun, that they’re intelligent enough and responsible enough to handle a gun. Should both handgun and rifle owners be licensed...we’re talking about all dangerous weapons."
Rudy Giuliani

Being a Republican doesn't mean that he's conservative. Giuliani is a lib. They may think of him as conservative up in the 'progressive' union states, but his positions on the issues are definitely liberal.

It will be repulsive choice in '08 if the candidates are a lib running as a moderate with the last name Clinton or a lib running as a Republican in conjunction with both being damnyankees from New York.

If that turns out to be the choice in '08, I will be obligated to sit out my first presidential election since I became eligible to vote because I could not vote for either one of those people.

Any successful republican in New York(Rudy Giuliani) is a Ron Popeil republican.. Three easy payments..

1) RINO.. 2) more taxes 3) more government.. 4) set it and fergetaboutit..

If they were republicans they would have been handily rejected by New York.. Cross dressed democrats are the rage in New York.. Dame Edna republicans from New York, like Giuliani, are not republicans at all.. its just an act...

"But there were two issues Giuliani didn’t bring up in South Carolina. His positions on abortion and gay rights — pro-choice, pro-civil unions — are famously at odds with those of social conservatives who make up a large part of the South Carolina GOP primary electorate. The question for Giuliani is how much that will matter."

Well, South Carolinians will vote for this man if they want, but I sure won't. And two issues which are centered around obliterating the human poplulation of the United States are; abortion and gay rights. Funny how it was never brought up, and it is such a major issue. What a nice policy-just tell the people what they want to hear, nevermind about the truth.

Anyway, his stance on those issues leads me to believe the hysterical Democratic party has him in their hip pocket. And you can bet they'll call in their marker when(not if) it becomes necessary...
