Then one of the two parties needs to put forth a candidate that doesn't repel a large segment of voters. The GOP runs Rudy for president at their own peril.
Not according to those who write the history books. Clinton is not responsible for anything that happened after Jan 19, 2001.
And Hillary! doesn't want the job unless we force her into it, right.
Hogwash! Not when both parties choose to run a liberal candidate. You're deadwrong. I believe every American has a duty to vote. An obligation to vote. But NOT voting for a liberal like Rudy, should he somehow get the nomination, would be a matter of personal conscience and integrity of principle. Something most conservatives learn by the time we become of voting age. With some folks it takes longer. With you, looks like it might never happen.
Btw, I've been a loyal Republican my whole life. I expect to be voting for a conservative in the Colorado primary and the general election. That means Rudy won't even be an issue come election day 2008.
I'd have a lot more trouble voting for Romney than I would for Rudy. While it would seem that Romney is more conservative than Giuliani, his record in office isn't.
Giuliani said last week "I'm against abortion but I must uphold Roe v. Wade." This is the classic pro-abortion political statement.
NARAL, Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion savages clapped their hands with glee knowing that Rudy is STILL on their side, and has been from the very beginning.
From the FEC database: 04/24/1999 Donations
NEW YORK STATE NARAL INC WOMEN'S HEALTH PAC
NARAL donated exclusively to Democrat candidates with one exception----Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani accepted $1,000 from NARAL in 1999.
NARAL gave $250 to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
NARAL gave $1000---4 times as much-----to pro-abortion Giuliani.
Clearly, NARAL trusted Rudy's pro-abortion credentials, and Rudy's willingness to advance NARAL's radical abortion-on-demand agenda, even more than NARAL trusted Hillary.
Rudy was the honored guest speaker and made The Opening Remarks to the N.A.R.A.L. "Champions of Choice" Luncheon few years back.
In a CNN interview, Giuliani indicated he does not support even a modest ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure saying, "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing." Giuliani also indicated he would have upheld President Clinton's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban.
"Maybe" Rudy offered women "other options" to abortion but Rudy told Phil Donahue he'd give his daughter the money for an abortion (to get rid of his own grandchild).
Whatever Rudy may "say" about abortion is merely b/c he discovered he needs pro-lifers to make a showing.
Rudy is joined at the hip to NARAL, Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion-on-demand with the govt picking up the tab crowd. No way will they allow Rudy to move anywhere but forward to expand abortion to unknown dimensions. Partial birth abortion? If you elect Rudy, you ain't seen nuttin' yet.
Pro-lifers should treat Rudy EXACTLY as he treats unborn children------as a disposable nuisance.
The author told you why you should care what he thinks. Did you actually read what he wrote? If so, why not respond with why you agree or disagree with his conclusions?
For a professor, he sure does make some bonehead grammatical mistakes.
Honestly, our Republic would be safer under 4 terrible years of Hillary than with Rudy at the helm.
Was he lying in his interview with Phil Dohahue or is he lying now? Either way, Rudy Giuliani is lying about how he feels about abortion. The whole world knows it.
His bio says he is from Biola U.,, my eyesight , being what it is these days, thought it said Ebola U. at first glance. not an academic institution to sneeze at. 8-]
Niether is Bum F Iowa.
Stupid.
---"Give Hillary 2 SCOTUS picks and those words would be ashes in your mouth..."---
Actually, give Hillary OR Rudy 2 SCOTUS picks and we're screwed for a long time.
You don't deserve the right, then. Pouting at unpleasant compromises and uninspiring options is simply juvenile. Mature adults have to make choices between less-than-ideal choices all the time.
Suck it up and vote! Far better men and women than you or me sacrificed their very lives to give you that opportunity.
