Ping aling.
Last week they were quietly supporting Romney. ROFLOL
Slow news day?
McCain's turn comes next week.......
Of course the Bush Admin likes Rudy. He's pro-amnesty and so are they. Who cares if that will split the GOP?

Rudy Ping List
Let me know if you want on or off.
It worked so well for Elizabeth Dole in 2000 during her very brief campaign. Perhaps he has some of her advisers or, unlike Dole, Rudy may actually believe what he is saying on gun control."
What a Leftist!
If Bush Aids like what they see...That is reason enough for me to not support him.
"An insider". "An official". Yup, they're really coming out in support for Giuliani.
"...an aggressive stance against terrorists, and promises to name conservative judges to the court."
Stop right there. If these aren't your two top priorities, nos. 1 and 1A, then bash away.
If these indeed are your top priorities (in my case, something akin to taking my next breath) then the rest is inconsequential.
Favoring gun control while governing a city of 9+ million? Shocking? Face it, the average NYC resident doesn't know squat about guns; guns in the hands of non-law-enforcement individuals in a city like New York serves few purposes - principally murder, armed robbery and cop-killing.
Rudy cleaned up a cesspool he inherited from liberals - does that compute? He took liberal stances on some issues to get elected in a decidedly liberal city, yet he respects the Constitution and will appoint strict constructionist judges - does that give you a clue about how important an issue like "gun control" is to him?
If abortion and gun control were his hot-button issues, would he be promising to appoint conservative judges? Would a liberal end the welfare culture that permeated NYC, forcing people back to work and off the dole? Would he be locking up panhandlers, or would he, as a "liberal", be championing their right to "earn" a living from the sweat of YOUR brow?
Would a liberal have kicked Al Sharpton to the curb in the first week of his Administration? Would a liberal have tossed millions of bucks back in the face of an Arab prince? Would a liberal have physically removed scum like Yassar Arafat from a reception, branding him a murderer and humiliating him on an international stage?
RINO. I laugh at that. Who decided what makes a RINO a RINO? Perhaps the real "RINOS" are those that myopically latch onto social issues over which the President has little control, and ignore what Republicans should really stand for today; a tough, non-appeasement stance on Islamic extremists, belief in appointing strict, constructionist judges, and low taxes.
Rudy gets top grades on all three.

Why am I not surprised
"Compassionate" "conservatism" is not THAT far of a jump from RINO-rudy's LIBERAL RINOISM.
As another poster said, those that are all agog about this NON-conservative, can only be called...
RUtards.
Of course Bush likes Rudi. They both are equally liberals.
I don't. He's more lib than con.
Thats why it's called the White RINO House..
Is there a Rudy quote on this? Anybody?
