Views of Giuliani put GOP to the test
His moderate stands on social issues part with conservative base
.......On the first day of his five-day California swing, a blog popular with state conservatives, Flash Report.org, posted a YouTube clip from a February 2000 Meet the Press in which Giuliani boasts that no public official in the nation is "more strongly pro-immigrant than I am."
For conservatives who want a president who will crack down on illegal immigration, that sort of talk is very troubling.
"That's a big mistake," said Linda Sutter, 50, of Crescent City, Calif., who supports Giuliani because "I feel secure with him." After learning about his positions on immigration and other issues, the retired correctional officer acknowledged that she was "not completely informed. ... Some of those things might stop me from voting for him."
Even those who have joined his campaign acknowledge that their knowledge of his views is sketchy.....

Said it before, I'll say it again.
I will not vote for Giuliani under any conditions. McCain either.

A female who would support/vote for liberal RINO-rudy because,
"I feel secure with him." Didn't Rush have a name for these type of women a few years back?

Compared to Giuliani, McCain actually looks good.

he fought the federal government to maintain NY's "sanctuary city" stance. So much for the law and order reputation.

I would rather vote for a candidate than against one, but if I am forced to vote against Hitlery, I will vote for Giuliani. This is not new on Rudy. True conservatives have known for a long time that he is liberal.

Even those who have joined his campaign acknowledge that their knowledge of his views is sketchy . . . This is what is called a "delusional cult of personality."

To clarify, I will only vote for Rudy if he makes it past the primaries. Otherwise, no. And, I hope he doesn't make it.

. . . Linda Sutter, 50, of Crescent City, Calif., who supports Giuliani because "I feel secure with him." This is the kind of dopey dip-sh!t who voted for Bill Clinton twice, and who -- truth be told -- really has no business participating in a system of elected government.

Pro-ILLEGAL immigrant is more like it.
Giuliani maintained, in defiance of Federal Law, one of the nation's largest sanctuary cities for illegal aliens. He openly defied the law, he refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement in tracking down illegal aliens, and he even sued the Federal Government to keep that sanctuary city status. Yes, he's pro-ILLEGAL immigrant all right.

I plan on writing in my cocker spaniel's name if Giuliani is the nominee. Sure, he whizzes in the house sometimes, but I've never caught him eying the gun safe.

Amen to that. Having McCain or Giuliani (DocC is dead on: not moderates, but LIBERALS) in office would be catastrophic. Because not only will they propose liberal legislation, but (and I know some people here will deny it, but you know it's true) our Reps in congress, by and large, would be too afraid to vote against "their president"'s legislation, while the Dems will line up behind it.
The other day, someone told me something to the effect of, "Well, what if Hillary wins? In wartime, having someone like that as the commander in chief would be a disaster." Well, you know what? I don't expect that our newly created Spanish-language rainbow brigade will live up to our military's five star standards after their private-use firearms are banned. Yes, Rudy has a good record on the War on Terror; nobody is denying or questioning that. But on almost everything else, he is *at least* as liberal as Hillary, and unlike Hillary, congressional Republicans will fold under his legislation. People like Giuliani think that they can get our votes just by having an (R) after their name. And they often do. But I'm just sick of people who think they can get away with that. And it scares the hell out of me, the sort of legislation he'd be able to get across if he were president.
