BTW, if PhiKapMom's research is flawed, then I revert to my original hypothesis, namely, that the appointments were payback of debts acquired sloshing through the NYC political scene for all those years. Let's be real, shall we? Unless a Republican who served for Reagan befriends NY democrats, he ain't gettin' elected to nuttin' in NY.
And I believe I already answered the partial birth abortion point.
That said, I don't think you get it. Giuliani's personal view on abortion--indeed, abortion per se-- is NOT the dispositive issue for me.
My thinking follows.
Note that Giuliani's position on abortion is nowhere to be found in my argument. Indeed, I explicitly deny 1 that his ideology (other than his strict constructionism) is dispositive:
Check out what the wonderful conservative warrior, R. Emmett Tyrrell has to say. The 'logic' of those refusing to vote for Rudy: Rudy is a too 'liberal' 'New Yorker' so they will place their de facto vote for missus clinton, a Stalinist New Yorker, albeit fake, (fake New Yorker, not fake Stalinist), who
It does the conservative cause no good to become petulant and self-destructive.
I find it hard to believe that those people aren't able to discern the difference between Giuliani and clinton. Frankly, if true, it is frightening.
I am advocating for Giuliani not because of his ideology. I am advocating for him because I believe he possesses the qualities that this country desperately needs in these perilous times... and because I believe he, unlike all of the others, will actually win. The other night, I heard a man who is not perfect, but a man of rare intelligence, humility, warmth, competence, strength and leadership. We will be fortunate, indeed, and our babies, born and unborn, living and not yet imagined, will be infinitely safer, if he is our next president.
