Are you really this dumb?
Do I have to even say it?
Because Giuliani has already specifically stated that abortion should be a state issue. How can it be a state issue if the Feds trump it? Thus when Roe is overturned he'll leave it to the states. Since MA, NY, and a few other states will never 100% outlaw abortion every adult woman will still have access, it just will require travel. Not perfect, but far better than if the Dems repack the court (guaranteed if the Dems win in '08) and postpone Roe's demise for a minimum of another generation.
While I strongly disagree with your premise that a Giuliani presidency would be a move to the center (other than in some areas of social conservatism) in some situations the best possible outcome is simply to minimize the losses. Life and politics can be like a game of poker, and you just have to make do with the cards dealt until the next game. Gamble too much on a losing hand and you may not have any more chips left to win anything back.
Show me one. You haven't proved the information wrong. If you can, I'll do a mea culpa. I've searched for information that debunked it for days, unsuccessfully. Everything I've found supports it.
It's not MY assertion; it's YOURS.
Everything I've found supports it.
Well, then, why don't you post THAT here and prove what you said is true?
No. It's your assertion that it is inaccurate. But you've provided not one scintilla of evidence for your position. Shoot, I've done the work of trying to prove my own position wrong, and can't do it. As I said, prove it wrong, and I'll do a mea culpa.
This is why people hate politicians.
Nice try, though.
You've been proven wrong twice on this thread.
Some day you're learn that we're not as dumb as you need us to be for your hogwash to work.
I just did. But you ignored it, as you are wont to do with information you don't like.
Senator Maltese, who also serves as Chairman of the Queens County Republican Party, stated, "This exclusion of Republicans from active consideration and appointment seems to belie any claim that appointment would remedy the inequities of the electoral system as to the monopoly of the Democratic party in the City of New York," said Senator Maltese.
"Republicans compose a sizable percentage of voters in New York City and in the call for diversity on the bench, it should be remembered that the 462,525 New Yorkers who are enrolled Republicans are entitled to some representation of their peers on the judicial bench," said Senator Maltese. "It currently appears they have almost none."
Hey, all you have to do is provide the name of one Republican that Rudy appointed to the courts in NYC when he was Mayor.
No, you tried to foist off some article from 2003 as proof.
Hey! I'm not going to do the research for you.
The article goes straight to the point being discussed, whether you will admit it or not. The head of the GOP in Queens says that there are virtually no Republicans on the bench in NYC. And 2003 was immediately after Rudy left office, by the way.
Ralph Porzio is a Republican. Was appointed by Giuliani in 1996.
You won't even do research to back up your own position. Not surprising, since I'm highly doubtful that you'd find anything to back up your assertions at this point.
Thank you!
Pontificate all you want, but it doesn't mention Rudy and it doesn't say how many he appointed or what their political affiliation one.
And it was two years after he left office. You can't even add and subtract.
Bluster away!!
In the case of Rudy...there are some who would argue that as mayor of New York he was the most effective example of conservative governance in the last 50 years. I understand having questions on certain issues with him but there are other conservative positions that he would be as good an advocate as we have had.
I'm sure there are. Like I said, I want to hear more.
Thank you for what, proving you're a liar?
Oh, I get it completely. I'll say it again. Rudy had 60 opportunities to pick judges as Mayor, and NOT ONCE did he pick a Republican, much less a conservative. Not once.
