I read a lot about family. Rudy had two wives. Where does that prove Rudy is connected?
My question goes unanswered. Who will you say can accomplish a win?
Yes, He did :)
Too early to say who is going to win, but I would like to see Bill Owens, gov. of Colorado throw his hat into the ring.
Haley Barbour, gov. of Mississippi would be a good candidate too.
"....the social right does not have a varsity player."
It seems that not everyone on the right despises Rudy, despite what some here wish to believe.
RealClearPolitics http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog/2006/08/mccain_cooked.html and the American Spectator -AmSpecBlog http://www.spectator.org/blogger.asp
have some interesting and adult discussions on new polling data from the Cook Political Report for Rudy.
From RealClearPolitics on their analysis of the poll :
"Giuliani's supporters, it seems from the cross tabs, are more conservative and more pro-Bush than McCain's, who are, unsurprisingly, fairly liberal."
"Rudy might not run. Or there might be other reasons he won't win.
But the idea that he's unacceptable to the conservative base is refuted again and again and again by the polls and the facts on the ground in states like South Carolina."
RealClearPolitics has another link to a recent appearance by Giuliani
http://race42008.com/2006/08/30/rudy-raises-money-for-mark-kennedy-gives-2008-preview/ where he answered questions on things like the border ( Seal It ! )
and judges :
" I don’t understand how you cannot be for strict constructionist judges” (emphasis Rudy’s).
Rudy is absolutely not my man, and I can't think of anything except the war on terror about which we agree.
And, I'd bet that if Rudy had not been mayor of the city that was devastated, that he'd be in Lincoln Chaffee's corner on the WOT.
Rudy Guiliani, for all practical purposes, is a liberal democrat.
I'd have to have a crane lift me from bed and carry me to the voting booth in order for me to pull the lever for Rudy Giuliani.
I didn't read that in the post. I don't think that was the point.
Did either of them support partial birth abortion? Do they today? I think you'll find most politicos who support both abortion on demand and partial birth abortion are liberals.
Alan Simpson was not what I'd call a well rounded conservative. His ACU rating was 78 lifetime, just below the 85 needed to qualify for soild conservative status. Simpson`s last two years in office he was rated, 59 & 65. I always considered Simpson a moderate when he was in the Senate. Nancy Kassenbaum was a liberal Republican. She supported abortion rights and gun control. ACU rating, 56 lifetime, last two years in office, 63 & 48.
Your questions are half baked and have no bearing on the issues of abortion or abortion on demand. Abortion is legal in the US. That doesn't mean Americans are forced to support the procedure under all circumstances. I couldn't care less the sexual orientation of two consenting adults. But I don't support special rights for any American.
>>>>>He was frequently depicted as Hitler in NYC. Must be because he is such a Liberal.
Giuliani pissed off many liberal Democrats and hardcore socialists in his eight years in office. He even ticked off many conservatives too. Conservatives usually don't get into heavy handed namecalling. OTOH, liberals and socialists are fond of trashtalking and ridiculing any political opponent. Come to think of it, so are some FReepers.
He marched in a parade in his city.
His attitude towards guns was identical to every big city mayor.
He has an opinion that abortion is always a matter for the woman and her doctor and not the government as was the law of the land.
His cops gave me two undeserved moving violations.
He is a fallible man and a politician with some views with which I don't agree. I despised him for those tickets and for other things
Yet, there is no politician in America with his record of positive real achievements. No one comes close.
There is no Socially Conservative Republican who can win in 2008 no matter how you fantasize. You fanatics, if successful, will assure a Democrat President. Maybe that's what you secretly desire. Maybe you want to see the Republican party destroyed so you can rebuild it in your image.
Partial birth abortion is a despicable procedure but supporting it doesn't imply you want it done.
It means that you don't want the Government to interfere in a heart breaking private medical decision between a mother and her doctor.
Take a gander at the title of this thread. Just because you repeatedly call Rudy a liberal does not make it so.
I agree. Rudy reminds me of Joe Lieberman with a big mouth. LOL
We seem to support the same candidate. Fancy that. :)
"Take a gander at the title of this thread. Just because you repeatedly call Rudy a liberal does not make it so."
The fact that Rudy agrees on much of the DNC platform doesn't clue you in?
