A year is a minute in politics.
Perhaps. But, they do have this in their favor: At least, unlike Rudy, they actually have conservative credentials to run on.
Check your history textbook. Name how many Congressman or Senators got elected President.
So did Clinton and Mussolini. Doesn't mean we want them in public office, or running our party.
Specious comparison. Please stop comparing Giuliani to Mussolini. It's like calling Bush Hitler, something that the Left does.
COLMES: Now, on abortion now, you are pro-choice, right?
GIULIANI: Yes.
COLMES: You're a pro-choice Republican.
GIULIANI: I am.
~snip~
COLMES: Now, Roe vs. Wade -- You are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...
GIULIANI: That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And he fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category.
I mean, she was she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her.
Rudy is a fiscal, domestic, and foreign policy conservative that supports strict constructionist. This doesn't describe Hillary or Obama at all.
You're proof of the aptness of my tagline.
See Post 119.
Remember, Rudy is allied with NARAL. Defend that rather than dance the dance you just did. If you can.
I question you're perception of reality if you think we can totally eradicate abortions.
I'll do that when you name one mayor who has done so.
Im pro-choice. Im pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. No, I have not supported that, and I dont see my position on that changing, he responded.

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.
GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.
KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.
JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.
KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.
GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.
Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY
Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

In his interview on Fox News the night of the State of the Union rudy AGAIN CONFIRMED that HE IS PRO CHOICE.
I question whether people like you really want to stop one.
He's AGAINST gay marriage. Now as far as homos go, personally, I disagree with their life style but as long as they do what they do in the privacy of their own home I really don't care and nobody else should either, especially not the federal government. The POTUS doesn't have the power to stop people from being gay. And he surely shouldn't be interferring in people's private lives. So therefore voting on the basis of this issue doesn't make much sense.
I hate abortions but I'm just pragmatic and realistic. What can I say?
And it takes a candidate about one minute to flame out. What will your reputation be around here when your hero inevitably does?
"I repent?"
NARAL. He is allied with and praises NARAL. How will the Southern Baptist voter react? The orthodox Catholic? The evangelical? You babble about trivia while ignoring that your gungrabbing crossdresser candidate is allied with the most liberal, hard left hate group in America.
My pleasure. Exposing RINO's is an act of charity.
