This editorial appeared in the very conservative Human Events.

People should take a look at Ruday's record and read the article above.

((((( PING )))))

RUDY PING LIST

Lert me know if you want on or off the list.

Thanks!

[Sherman Logan]

While certainly not a social conservative, Rudy has a highly enviable record in controlling government spending and making government work effectively.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I jus done came fer the purty pic'tures of Ms. Geeuleeani in dat dere drag photo of hers.

[PhilDragoo]

Please put me on your Rudy ping list.

[NapkinUser]

Tancredo and Paul both have extensive and real records proving their fiscal conservatism. I don't buy any that snake oil salesman Giuliani says.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

I want to like Rudy, but his Second Amendment position is a deal-breaker.

[FairOpinion]

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

Rudy also backtracked some on his anti gun stance.

[EternalVigilance]

Where's the barf alert?

[FairOpinion]

Rudy has a record as NY Mayor.

Tancredo and Paul have nothing but talk, not to mention that they both demonstrate continuously that they are incapable of living in reality and looking at the big picture, which is critical for a President and Commander-in-Chief.

[IslandJeff]

Unfortunately, McCain opposed President Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. McCain voted against repealing the Death Tax in 2002.

This is what doomed McQueeg with me. I'd never heard of Dubya in 2000, and, like many, automatically supported the Arizona Senator. John signed his political death warrant with the Estate Tax vote, and threw a few shovels of dirt with the "Gang of 14" BS.

[MichiganConservative]

Ron Paul and Tancredo are "unelectable" according to the MSM and you know they're the smartest people around. They also have the best interests of the country at heart.

That is, they are unelectable if anyone in the MSM even mentioned that either is running. Just ask Sean Hannity about how Rudy, Romney, or McCain are the real Reagan conservatives for '08.

[FairOpinion]

REad the record, the author cites FACTS and as I pointed out this appeared in the very conservative Human Events.

[PhilDragoo]

"America's Mayor" cut or killed 23 levies, saving taxpayers $9.8 billion. Giuliani pared Gotham's top income-tax rate by 20.6%. Washington, D.C.'s CFO reported that between 1993 and 2001, local taxes on a family of four New Yorkers earning $50,000 fell 23.7%.

Hillary has warned, "We are going to take things from you for the common good."

Using Human Events' term, it's the supply-sider versus the Marxist-Leninist "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."

Or, as Hillary would delicately describe her potential rule,

[EagleUSA]

McCain voted against repealing the Death Tax in 2002.

Karl Marx did not believe in transferring wealth within a family to a next generation either.

Unfortunately, McCain opposed President Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.

The Titantic was a great ship. Oh, and by the way, it sunk...

"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.

I detest McCain for too many reasons to count.

I’m pro-choice. I’m 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 don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

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.
