so - never
Oh, good reminder.
Yes, Reagan so liked and trusted Giuliani that he appointed him as his #3 person at Department of Justice.
And those in charge of Reagan's legacy awarded Rudy the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award.
A draft dodger, draft evader or draft resister, is a person who avoids ("dodges") or otherwise violates the conscription policies of the nation in which he or she is a citizen or resident, by leaving the country, going into hiding, attempting to fraudulently obtain conscientious objector status, or by open resistance (civil disobedience). Although it originated earlier, the term became popular during the Vietnam War to describe citizens of the United States who dodged the mandatory conscription policy, in order to avoid serving in the war, by leaving the country, originally to Sweden, but later in greater numbers to Canada, or (much less often) Mexico. The term may be applied to individuals who avoid military service by other means.
The motivations for draft dodgers and resisters are manifold. Some are individuals who merely wish to avoid the dangers of combat (and may otherwise support the war in question). Others have political or moral objections to warfare in general, or to the circumstances of a particular conflict in which their country is fighting.
Avoidance of the draft is considered a criminal offense in most countries where conscription is in effect.
Hello? Why don't you show me that I said there wasn't any difference between Reagan and Rudy? Gosh, you people just make stuff up out of whole cloth, don't you?
Tell the truth, you're Anderson Cooper, aren't you?
Whiner/tattletale.
And if Sean wasn't a sycophant, he would've followed up with, "Do you support jailing CEO's who hire illegals?"
I haven't got my decoder ring yet...LOL
How do you reconcile that view with the 2nd Amendment?
...and, perhaps, he is not as big of an ass as you, howlean.
RIGHT!! Duncan Hunter 2008
Yes and it means nothing. Did you know that Christie Whitman had a cbinet position in the Bush administration and was governor of New Jersey? Maybe we should nominate her?
So much for the stupid and inaccurate "there's no difference between them" canard.
I never said that Rudy wasn't a fiscal conservative. He is just a social LIBERAL! The base... the conservative right wing, of which I am a proud member, will never support Rudy. Ask Ann Coulter.
Fox News reported earlier today that after Rudy announced, their e-mails were flooded with supporters saying "Way to go, Rudy".
Uh.oh.....now you have gone and done it...you have burst the Reaganites perfect memories of Reagan.
They have so worshipped him...that they have managed to FORGET how human and mistaken he was at times.
You better duck!
we've deconstructed this "judicial appointments" thing on other threads. NYC uses a merit panel based method of appointment (most judges are elected), the mayor just can't arbitrarily select anyone they want, they select from a slate sent up by a panel. the city is 9:1 Dem, so you can imagine how these panels function from a political perspective.
another freeper uncovered the fact that two such judges, Rudy refused to accept the panel's recommendation (I assume for cause, ethics I imagine, but I do not know):

But if you look at this article (comments from Ed Koch), this stands out:
"NEW YORK SUPREME COURT JUDGE HELEN FREEDMAN WAS RECENTLY THE SUBJECT OF GIULIANI'S DEMEANING LANGUAGE IN HIS EFFORT TO TERRORIZE HER AFTER SHE RULED IN FAVOR OF THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY'S HOMELESS FAMILY RIGHTS PROJECT, LED BY COORDINATING ATTORNEY STEVEN BANKS, IN THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY'S ONGOING CASE AGAINST THE CITY.
GIULIANI, ACCORDING TO THE POST, SAID FREEDMAN HAS BEEN ISSUING "IRRATIONAL ORDERS" TO MAYORS FOR 13 YEARS. "IT'S ABOUT TIME SHE STEP ASIDE," HE SAID. CONTINUING, "ANY JUDGE THAT HOLDS A CASE FOR A DECADE OR MORE SHOULD GET OFF THE CASE BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY BECOME THE PURVEYORS OF POLICY RATHER THAN DECIDERS OF CASES THAT COME BEFORE THEM." HE VICIOUSLY AND PERSONALLY ATTACKED FREEDMAN -- AND SAID, "SHE ISN'T RULING ON THE LAW, SHE'S RULING ON HER OWN PERSONAL IDEOLOGY." IF THAT WERE S0, SHE WILL BE REVERSED ON APPEAL"
does that sounds like a person who supports liberal judicial activism on the bench? just the opposite is what I read there.
Now THAT's wishful thinking from a RINO-loving kool-aid drinker living in LA-LA Land.
Your day is over. You can open your eyes and choose to help the country we are today or sit and tell stories about the good old days. It's your choice.
