Giuliani Is Sounding More Like a Candidate

MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. 27 — Rudolph W. Giuliani sounded nearer than ever to being a presidential candidate on Saturday, repeatedly talking about the prospect of running, and inviting voters to judge him by his record as mayor of New York City.

But, even if your claims meant anything, which they don't, it wouldn't change the fact that Giuliani's politics are more suited to the Green Party than to the GOP.

Name another Republican mayor who transformed the most liberal, crime-ridden city in America into the safest city in America in just six years.

So, EV, do you think you will consider becoming a virtuous person? You know, living by your princicples - adhering to them? :-)

“When I say to you that we should reduce taxes to stimulate the economy, I’ll say it to you because I did it and I saw it work,” he said. “When I say we have to bring peace and security as sort of the beginning of anything, whether it’s in Baghdad or in other parts of the world or here at home, I’ll say that to you because I saw that happen in New York, and I made it happen. I did it.”

Wow. Nine "I"s in one breath.

Kinda solves the puzzle about what's driving Rudy.

Hey, its' the Rudy hating spammer. Anything new to say? :-

The streets of Rome and Berlin were quite safe to walk in the nineteen twenties and thirties, too. Big deal.

[Sunsong]

Don't forget the Constitution Party - with its ideological purity. You could be a big man in that party :-)

Giuliani won the Reagan Medal of Freedom. I know that just about kills you but you'll have to deal with it.

And since Reagan appointed Giuliani to an important post at DOJ, he must have thought highly of him. As so many people do.

Hope that's giving you heartburn. LOL

Liberals who try and lay claim to "fiscal conservatism" always turn out to be liars.

Still no refutations of Rudy's fiscal and public safety conservatism.

The thousands of free-loaders Rudy kicked off the city's welfare rolls.
The thousands of minority lives Rudy saved.
The end to racial preferences & quotas in city hiring.
The pimps, prostitutes, and johns kicked out of Times Square which is now a family-friendly destination.

You know, whatever. If you want to whine about social issues that Presidents have very little control over, and which belong at the community/local/family level, then be my guest.

"Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world." - Daniel Webster

Rudy ran in NY - where everyone runs on a number of tickets - including the liberal ticket.

Don't forget about the possiblity of ideologicial purity you have in the Constitution Party. Imagine - no dissent!

Conclusion: RUDY'S A FASCIST! HE'S A FRICKING FASCIST MAN!

[Sunsong]

Maybe abortion will NOT be the main topic in 2008?

[EternalVigilance]

I'll refute you again, since you seem to be deaf:

Even if you grant your man credentials on "fiscal and public safety issues," (they're largely contrived, but whatever) that doesn't change the fact that he's a statist socialist. Down through history, lots of statist socialists have been great at making the trains run on time. Does that mean we should want one in the most powerful position on earth? Might work for you, but not for me.

[Sunsong]

Interesting. Thanks for posting.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're counting the "I"s now... thanks for your eloquent comment, EV. LOL!

[EternalVigilance]

He's a gungrabber. That should be enough for any conservative.

[Sunsong]

If you think that Presidents have power over the legality of abortion - why is it still legal?

The Constipation Party, with Allan Keyes as the grand Poobah! they can still wear white robes with pointy hoods in that party. Now they certainly hope to bring back the GOOD old days!

And nobody dares argue about much of anything. For that, they still come here.

[EternalVigilance]

It stands out like a sore thumb. It's all about Rudy's ego.

Watch for it to inflate. There are few endeavors in this life more geared to flatter a man's ego than running for POTUS.
