I read this article on the subway this morning in the NY Post and thought it would be a nice balance to all the Trash Rudy threads here lately.

All the Rudy bashers should inform themselves and consider the facts that are on the record.

Rudy may well be the candidate; if so he won't need Republicans and Conservatives to trash him. The Dems have the long knives out. They fear Rudy because he can win.

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:

Please ping me to all note-worthy threads on Pro-Life or Catholic threads.

Babykillers are NEVER conservative, NEVER. Rudy is a living scandal to all Catholics. He is a public adulterer, he is an advocate for abortion and birth control, he is a LIBERAL.

[Sun]

Resident "socio-con" here.

Besides Rudy being wrong on important social issues, including being pro-partial birth abortion, Rudy is pro-ILLEGAL immigration, and that would tremendously weaken the security of our country.

[Clemenza]

Nice to see Deroy still gets on his knees for Rudy Giussolini.

A thrice divorced, gun grabbing, pro-illegal immigration, pro-gay control freak with NO MILITARY RECORD deserves the Republican nomination as much as Pelosi deserves to be called "Speaker of the House."

[basil]

His views on abortions, guns and gays--especially guns and the Second Amendment make him very unpalatable to me.

[Dog Gone]

It is a nice balance. Thank you.

[wireman]

I think the Rudy hatred around here is due in equal parts to his record and the fact that he's of Italian heritage / from New York.

He scares the crap out of 'em.

[Cicero]

I like Rudy on many issues. And I think he's honest. He doesn't make promises and then go back on his word.

So . . . .

If he is willing to come out in defense of life, it would make a big difference to me. Otherwise, if he wants to run as an extreme abortionist, forget about it.

[Clemenza]

BTW: "America's Mayor" is a creation of the media who love this Rockefeller Republican cretin. Most OVERRATED politician in American, aside from Barack Osama.

[lowbridge]

The Dems have the long knives out. They fear Rudy because he can win.

They fear him because they THINK he can win, even though he can't win.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Could he even win his own State?

[Flavius]

are these notes from google wrong?

An Anti-Second Amendment Candidate


In the last couple of election cycles, 2nd Amendment issues have moved to the back burner mainly because even Democratic candidates have learned that being tagged with the "gun grabber" label is political poison.

Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani is a proponent of gun control who supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban.

Do Republicans really want to abandon their strong 2nd Amendment stance by selecting a pro-gun control nominee?

"Significantly, Giuliani can hold his head up high as the GOP hopeful with the finest legacy on racial preferences — a key issue to conservatives of every hue."

Maybe to the republicans but special privileges based on race are NOT a conservative issue except to end them. Consider this:

Recently tornadoes passed through parts of central PA. The VA among many other agencies offered help: To veterans. Now before the flames begin let me say I did my twenty with the US Air Force. I'm all for vets because I happen to be one.

But if Joe over here, a good guy with a family, who never served a day in the military, has had his house blown down. Meanwhile Bill, who served four years including time in Iraq has had a window box destroyed by flying debris.

Where is the "fairness" to Joe who is not going to receive a handout while Bill is? Hopefully Joe has insurance but that will be his sole relief if he does.

The point is handouts and special privileges need to end. That is the conservative position on those; not the democrat light of entitlement and second class citizenry. So Rudy; no thanks.

Sounds like "National Review" is endorsing Rudy. While he certainly is not my choice, I must say our "Conservative Brothers" who've been running the show for years, turned out to be a sorry lot.

[Plutarch]

His Bush-like immigration proposals are no more liberal than the president’s.

If Congress came up with a bill to provide immediate U.S. Citizenship to every Mexican, Bush would sign it. It is impossible to be more liberal than Bush on immigration.

[Rudder]

I could support Rudy's candidacy...except for one thing: His Bush-like immigration proposals are no more liberal than the president’s...

Had Bush made known his immigration philosophy before the elections, he would now be just another guy from Texas.

[rhombus]

Giuliani also padlocked the city’s Balkan-style offices of African-American/Carribean Affairs, Asian Affairs, European-American Affairs, Gay Community Affairs, Jewish Community Affairs, and Latino Affairs.

Literally? What does this verb "padlocked" really mean here?

[pointsal]

Well... on many issues..... Rudy is well to the LEFT of me

...but I trust the guy to defend the country and to perform in an honorable manner...

Can anyone suggest Hitlery or Obama or Gore or any other DEMORAT clown coming close?

If so, please respond...

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I am the NRA - - and I vote.

Giuliani? No thanks, I'll vote for someone else in the primary.

Turning the '08 general election into a second Democrat primary is a BIG loser for Republicans...

No money, no work, no vote from me if the GOP is that stupid.
