Ted Olson Supporting Giuliani

American Spectator ^ | 2/13/07

Theodore Olson, the stalwart conservative lawyer and former solicitor general for the Bush administration, told the Spectator he will be supporting Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid.

"I admire his character, his capacity for leadership, his instincts, and his principles," Olson said over the phone this afternoon. He said he will help Giuliani raise money as well as offer advice on legal issues and domestic policy matters that involve constitutional questions.

And the difference between Rudy and Hillary is?

Hillary creates a crisis, Rudy takes care of them.

I don't think it is hysterics to find fault with Rudy.

I don't, either.

But that's not what I said. By "the anti-Giuliani hysterics" I was referring to the posters who are unhinged with RDS: Rudy Derangement Syndrome.

I agree with your approach.

"...perhaps he is simply in the dark about who else is running." You mean all those who cannot get above 1% in the polls? That "dark" is way too deep for those "lights" to get through.

I know who Ted Olson is - but most of USA doesn't

I am still a fan of Barbara's - just like RR had my vote from the first time I heard his radio show

I'm not casting a vote out of fear

There are plenty of republicans who care about those who are oppressed and murdered

this isn't just about personal protection

If it was I'd go along and get along quite well

just like rudy

Not it is not! I support Rudy because I like his stance on issues that are important to me like the WOT. I was supporting Sen George Allen and when he was defeated I went to Rudy after studying the other candidates.

I didn't like McCain in 2000 and still don't but if he were the nominee, I would vote for him. I just believe that Rudy has the strength and demeanor to be President while I do not believe McCain has the demeanor.

Where are the World Trade Centers?

There hasn't been an attzack on New York since Hillary was elected senator

The basis for winning those primaries is being done NOW. Hunter is getting no traction to establish that basis. February 2008 is closer than you are willing to admit. There is not enough time to pull someone, anyone, from obscurity to prominence.

Are you talking about the same Hillary that hasn't been to Ground Zero since 9/11?

[pissant]

Howie Dean did it, then choked. Jimmuh Carter did it. Sick Willie did it. The MSM made empty suit "ears" Obama a frontrunner in the course of 3 weeks. Sorry, the game is not the same anymore.

[R.W.Ratikal]

Ted Olsen is supporting Giuliani. I'm not. Too many i's in his name.

[genxer]

Is Ted Olsen now a baby killer? Nope. Just a sell out.

Actually no he's someone who lost his spouse in 9/11 and i remind you this board and conservatism lost a good friend in Barb!

That's before they front-loaded the primaries....now CA...PA ...FLA...IL will have as big of say as NC or NH. Huge differance.

[PhiKapMom]

Are you serious? President Reagan was in the movies, was two term Governor of California, and ran for President in 1976. He was not someone that was not well known. In fact, he was one of our better known candidates to run for office of President.

Societies are built on lies. They function when they treat them as lies, and totter when they treat them as truth.

Nietzsche? I thought you had died!

[pissant]

Indeed. Good thing there is a year to go yet before they start.

[justshutupandtakeit]

"Why else would these same Rudy supporters not invest their time and energy in getting a true Conservative like Hunter elected? It makes zero sense. Rudy is 90 percent Liberal and maybe 10 percent Conservative." Two lies for the price of one.

Hunter has ZERO chance of getting elected though almost everyone supportive of Guiliani says they would vote for Hunter should a miracle happen and he win the nomination.

What makes "zero sense" is flacking someone with NO chance of getting the nomination much less the election.

Rudy is a moderate conservative NOT a liberal. He will be endorsed by Hunter after he drops out before six months pass. Then what will you say?

What do you call 9-11? I call it an attack on the World Trade Centers in the heart of NYC. Hillary was elected in 2000 BTW!

If you like posting in stuck on stupid mode, be my guest...lol... it is a rather boring afternoon.

[Spiff]

Actually no he's someone who lost his spouse in 9/11 and i remind you this board and conservatism lost a good friend in Barb!

And now he's selling out to the most liberal Republican presidential candidate in the history of the known universe. I admired Ted Olson right up until he sold out.

[RockinRight]

Sure, yeah.

I'm also Frank Sinatra.
