Rudy Giuliani: Supply-Sider-in-Chief

Funny how one can interpret a quote from the bible when the can't distinguish the forest from the trees.

The meaning is plain to anyone with a brain and an honest heart.

[Porterville]

Laugh all you want, he wins.

[PhiKapMom]

I take Human Events! Guess I had better go read the last issue! :)

[Porterville]

You are saying you have a dishonest heart or no brain?

[Darkwolf377]

Did you see him lead his mistress to Mass?

No, and I couldn't give a damn what he does with his mistress, or what religion he practices.

Did you see him appoint Kerik?

Did you see Ronald Reagan appoint Sandra O'Connor?

Did you see him nearly die because he stupidly place the NYC command post at a major target

Come on, you have GOT to have more than that. Hindsight is so 20/20 when we're looking for reasons to bitch, isn't it?

[My2Cents]

Some people have so convinced themselves that Giuliani is the boogeyman that they are totally incapable of letting in any new information that would challenge that prejudice.

"And what do you think Hillary's position is on the 2nd amendment?"

About the same as Giuliani's and McCain's, unfortunately. That's my point. Maybe Rudy's backing away from his previous positions, but my caution towards him is richly warranted. I do want to like him, but there's much in his record that gives me pause. Put plainly: we have enough RINOs, thankyouverymuch.

I generally vote against the worst candidate in the general election. That would be Hillary in any universe I'm familiar with. But for the primaries I throw my energy and money towards getting the best guy nominated. And at this moment Hunter has my attention. Could change, but I like what I see. Short of cloning Ronald Reagan, he seems to be the best matched to what this country needs right now.

" Wars? There is only one war"

Gun owners and mfg.'s have been fighting Rudi for years. They still are.

[IslandJeff]

Oh yeah, Narses, the MSM is a perfect arbiter of any Republican's position.

Please.

[EternalVigilance]

Your supply of straw men is seemingly endless.

[PhiKapMom]

It is a joint list between Areafiftyone, Bunny Slippers, and me -- we joined together so we have you covered from the east coast, to central, to the west coast! :)

[Porterville]

So issues with gun policy of NYC... seriously? NYC?

That isn't a war, it is a frickin' liberal hell, and Rudy was its only hope.

There is only one war that is of concern.

"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.

No, I've never been a Paul supporter. I was just using him as an example. He'd still be a better republican president than Giuliani. Every republican except for maybe, MAYBE, Hagel is more conservative than Giuliani. Giuliani is a phoney and a fraud who doesn't know his place. He might have been able to do this country a great service and defeat Hillary Clinton in the senate race in 2006, but NOOOOOO, couldn't have that. He may have LOST and ruined his own selfish presidential dreams. So just let Hillary Clinton terrorize this country longer, and not ruin her chances of the white house.

Worst Viable Republican Candidate EVER

[Porterville]

I only invest my time on sure things.

[EternalVigilance]

Some people have so convinced themselves that Giuliani is the boogeyman that they are totally incapable of letting in any new information that would challenge that prejudice.

It's all ridiculous spin. Laughable.

[MichiganConservative]

Gun owners and mfg.'s have been fighting Rudi for years. They still are.

For what do you need a gun, anyway? If you've got nothing to hide, you shouldn't have a problem storing our gun at the local government building, behind three locks.

You shouldn't mind the four hours of paper work necessary to go to the range if you aren't making snap decisions to murder people in traffic.

[EternalVigilance]

I only invest my time on sure things.

Well, you're surely supporting a hardcore leftwinger.

[MichiganConservative]

He'd still be a better republican president than Giuliani.

Is there a Calvin Coolidge around these days?
