Former New York City mayor and potential presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani began an hour-and-a-half-long speech in Sarasota on Tuesday by poking fun at the organization founded to help maintain international law.
Giuliani told the nearly 1,700 audience members, some of whom paid up to $600 to hear him speak as part of this year's Ringling School Library Association Town Hall Lecture Series, a story about his first months as mayor.
He had taken to calling New York "the capital of the world" as he worked his constituency. This, he said, generated letters from other mayors around the country wondering who awarded New York that title. One of them asked if the United Nations had passed a resolution bestowing the honor on the Big Apple.
"This is before we knew the United Nations can't pass resolutions," Giuliani told the audience.
It'll be hard for the Rudy bashers to spin this.
His years as Energy Secretary are actually his weak point. The espionage at Los Alamos occurred on his watch.
To the best of my knowledge, such a poll has yet to be taken. I'm pinging Antoninus because he runs the Hunter ping list and would probably have a better idea than myself.
It is encouraging, however, that Hunter won a recent GOP primary straw poll of the GOP delegates of Arizona, even beating out home-state favorite McCain!
a typical politician prosecutor who does anything for a "win" is suddenly to be believed when he lawyerly has an epiphany befor election day and discovers the first 10 amendments?
Rudy has not changed anything. He is Clintoneque and consistent.
He is a RINO then and a RINO now.
But for 9/11 we would not even have to suffer fools of viral advertising.
Interesting selection, since that poll is so old.
The most recent poll that I gave you had Rudy with 19% in Iowa, and the newest poll had him at 17%, though there is no link up yet (I'll add it to the list I've posted to you several times when it's up).
Oh no,
I'm sure the U.N. will cease to exist under Rudy!
(rolling eyes....)
Puh-leeze - who is spinning here - the guy who says this?
Only Rudy gets it about the UN,and if elected, may even pull out of that worthless organization.
Please - show me ONE QUOTE from Rudy that expresses any desire to have the US get out of the UN. Also, please show that only Rudy cares about the UN, and that NO OTHER PUBBIE candidate has been harshly critical of it.
If Obama stays in it long enough to show how much support he could get, it would seem to be "incumbent" (haha) on Hillary to choose him for her running mate. But even if she doesn't (for whatever variety of reasons, not least of which might be resentment at Obama's putting up a time-wasting obstacle to her plans and causing her to break stride and lose momentum), then she could go for Richardson. Which would tend to prove, for the umpteenth time, that today's Libs don't want Blacks to EVER get off the plantation. (Their plantation).
Go back to Rudy and get your paycheck.
As long as conservative Republicans are stupid enough to support liberal Republicans who run for office, we will never have a conservative Republican elected.
We support them, they crap out on us.
By allowing BOTH parties to present only liberal candidates for office, we assure that THEIR political philosphies will triumph and ouors will not.
Giuliani is pro-gay, anti-gun, pro-illegal alien, and pro-abortion. Until he decided to make a national career of himself, he didn;t even support other Republicans for office - he supported their Democrat opponents. He doesn't deserve to be elected President on the Republican ticket.
There are other candidates more effective and more deserving of your support.
If Giuliani gets nominated, the liberal media which supports him will tunr on him and support his democrat opponent. The libs in this country and the leftist and all the Democrats will do so also. Some moderates may vote for him, but some will vote for his opponent. The conservatives will never vote for him.
Do the math.
