Giuliani Is Cautious (indecisive?) as He Weighs ’08 Decision

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!!!!

[Fierce Allegiance]

LOL, no, those are not conservative values at all! C'mon, junior, you just don't have the knowledge. maybe the education, but not the knowledge or experience. Sorry, kid.

[My GOP]

"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? :)

[Reagan Man]

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.

[Sunsong]

I actually feel sorrier for the people in their real lives...........just imagine!

I've thought about that sometimes. How would it be to live with a little dictator!!!

[Fierce Allegiance]

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.

[JimFreedom]

A very good question!

[Sunsong]

How are doing so far in stopping abortion?

[My GOP]

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

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I guess I'll take that as a compliment....

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>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.

[Fierce Allegiance]

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.

[Sunsong]

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.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Sure wan't meant as an insult.

[Sunsong]

Are you one of the *purists* ? :-)

[Fierce Allegiance]

How are doing so far in stopping abortion?

Englesa, por favor.

[Sunsong]

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?

[Sunsong]

So far no answer :-)

[Fierce Allegiance]

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)
