Giuliani Is Cautious (indecisive?) as He Weighs ’08 Decision
NY Times ^ | SAM ROBERTS

Posted on 01/27/2007 2:26:06 PM PST by narses

Rudolph W. Giuliani, who developed a national reputation for decisive and reassuring leadership after 9/11, now faces the odd challenge of having to reassure some supporters that he can be decisive about a very different issue: running for president. Even as his fellow Republican John McCain and fellow New Yorker Hillary Rodham Clinton have all but formally declared their candidacies, Mr. Giuliani has proceeded more cautiously.

Rudy is pro gun control, pro abortion, and pro gay marriage.
He is more liberal than a lot of democrats I know. I can't understand how anyone could call him a conservative or a Republican!!!!

"You need a refresher course in reading comprehension. In politics its important to read between the lines. Rudy is again employing rhetorical obfuscation to make him sound like he's making perfect sense."

Rudy has always been a straight shooter. He says what he means.

"Meanwhile, there isn't a dimes worth of difference between the politics of liberal Ruth Bader Ginsberg, former council to the ACLU, and liberal Rudy Giuliani."

I guess that's why the ACLU hates Rudy, right? :)

Told you before. Rudy is the only one I've ruled OUT! Everyone else is still in the race for my vote. Can't let a liberal get the GOP nomination. Not now, not ever.

What I have done is not rudy bashing, it's a display of his history. If anyone did any bashing, it's rudy who bashed the people who voted for him on an R ticket and instituting D policies.

Exposing the truth is not bashing. C'mon, give up the intellectual dishonesty.

C'mon old man you're just not pragmatic or realistic and don't understand political realities. Are you going senile on us? :)

>>>>>Rudy has always been a straight shooter. He says what he means.

If Rudy is such a straight shooter and he says what he means, then I was right. In my conservative playbook, that makes Rudy a liberal.

I don't think Rudy ever claimed to be a conservative. Look, we have lots of people here who are republicans, and clearly not conservatives. Lincoln Chaffee is a republican. LOL! Rusy & lincoln go together, like peas & carrots.
They are probably dem plants, too, because supporting Rudy will only get us the lesser of two liberals anyway.

Rudy is NOT a social conservative. For some people - that is the end of the world. For others - social issues belong int he states anyway.

A lot of conservatives support Rudy. You certainly don't need to.

If you support Hunter - why do you feel you need to be here bashing Rudy? You will not find one post of mine - not one - on a Hunter thread?

Do you understand the question? Why are you here in opposition?

Wrong on all three counts. It's not a good communication skill to repeat word for word, other people's repetitious mantras.

It is also customary to have a fairly good idea of the validity of what you are trying to say, backed up by facts. (most of the time) Lastly I will do it; Rudy IS a Republican and always has been a Republican to the best of my knowledge. (That's what that capital R means by his name)
