Giuliani Strikes a Note With California GOP Testing the Waters, Former N.Y. Mayor Garners 4 Ovations

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10 -- Rudolph W. Giuliani came west to learn whether his brand of Republican politics has a chance among party members significantly more conservative than himself. By the time he had received a fourth standing ovation Saturday at the California Republican Party convention, the answer seemed clear.

Equating the U.S. fight against terrorism with the Civil War and the Cold War, Giuliani told about 750 of his party's faithful that failure in Iraq would turn that country into a "massive headquarters for terrorism."

"Having had a job where I didn't have any choice but to make a decision," the former mayor of New York said, "prepares you as best you can be prepared to be the president of the United States."

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
Rudy Giuliani

Let's see how he plays in South Carolina and Texas. Giuliani represents a conservatism of the wallet. If the Washington Post wants to praise him.... what does that say?

Everyone on FR knows about Rudy's social liberal past. So stop posting the graph. That doesn't deter his supporters, who feel that social issues belong at the local and state level.

The people you need to convince are the people who aren't FReepers and don't usually pay attention to politics.

Good luck!

Rudy has a network in Texas & the South has warmly received him.

Just a guess, but i dont think it is so much for the Rudy supporters, but for the undecided here at FR as well as the many thousands of lurkers that arent registered.

LOL, the truth about your odd candidate bothers you, doesn't it? Sorry. I will keep telling the truth about him. You may defend the gun-grabbing babykiller all you want. Me, I will simply keep exposing him.

"FOUR STANDING OVATIONS!"

During a 45 minute rambling diatribe. He bored them and they needed to get the blood circulating.

This is a conservative Forum.

So why would there be undecideds? Everyone, including Congressman Hunter, gets wide exposure here.

And the lurkers can make up their minds too, otherwise they wouldn't be "lurkers."

from the article:

Nevertheless, the Brooklyn-born son of an ex-convict has significant obstacles in his quest to become president.

Gee, I guess his grace period is over. It's one thing to go after him on his views, but now the WaPo has to bring his father into it from day one? Look forward to the italian/ex-con/mafia angle being played to the hilt. By the time the press gets through with him, they'll have the country convinced he's Tony Soprano.
