"Giuliani to Farmers: I'm Running (for President of the United States in 2008)"


Ok, then I'm building an underground vault for my legally owned firearms. The right to own these, were once protected by the Constitution.

So, now that we are going to toss out that Constitutional right, might we as well attack a few others.

How about we start with the freedoms that the media have abused at the detriment to ALL of our freedoms.

[RichRepublican]

Thanks. I would love to see him all over the TV. Has he formally announced that he is running?

[SeaBiscuit]

"..but I'm doubly vexed that he's the media's favorite..."

Media is Liberal.. they'd like nothing better than to have a liberal R running against a liberal D ..that way they can't lose.

[Fred]

THIS WOULD DEFINITELY GET MY VOTE!!!!!

[RichRepublican]

"The 58-year old Alpine Republican is best known for his support for the military, the war in Iraq and strong borders."

Well, I guess that's why I haven't seen him in the news much. I would vote for him.

[meg88]

Rudy is for states rights on firearms. (as far as I know)

[George W. Bush]

"American farmers, they need water, they need labor and they need a level playing field."

Translation: I'll help you steal water from neighboring states and I'll keep the borders wide open. Maybe I'll shake my fist at Europe and other closed markets.

His remarks about running sooner and harder than he expected don't surprise me. He almost has to in order to appeal to the same liberal and especially NYC-based financial support. He is, after all, competing with Hillary for money since they are essentially the same liberal candidate.

[conservative blonde]

I don't like the idea of Rudy as our Republican candidate either. Can someone tell me what happened to Rudy's prostate cancer? Seems to me that was the reason he used for not running against Hillarity for Senate. Did he have a cure or didn't he have cancer at all? Anyone have an answer?

[Luke21]

I always thought it was funny how Rudy bailed out of the Hillary race, and now is soo healthy.

Here's Hunter's formal announcement speech.
