Put Dreier on the turncoat list, and wait for snarky comments and rumors about Dreier.

[soupcon]

Well, of course he would support Giuliani. They're both friends of Judy.

Congressman David Dreier Announces Support for Mayor Giuliani

...who would've expected this?!

[P-40]

California. 'Nuff said.

[mkjessup]

More California endorsements to come later in the week!

Will they be endorsing this too?


TUCHMAN: Giuliani was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions, something Bush strongly supports.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing. - CNN December 2, 1999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BLITZER: If you were in the Senate and [President Clinton] vetoed, once again, the [ban on the] so-called partial-birth abortion procedure, you would vote against sustaining that against the -- in favor of the veto in other words, you would support the president on that.

GIULIANI: Yes. I said then that I support him, so I have no reason to change my mind about it.

BLITZER: All right. So the bottom line is that on a lot of these very sensitive issues whether on guns, abortion, patients' bill of rights, taxes, you are more in line with the president and by association, with Mrs. Clinton, than you are against them. - CNN February 6, 2000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[GEORGE] WILL: Is your support of partial birth abortion firm?

Mayor GIULIANI: All of my positions are firm. I have strong viewpoints. I express them. And I--I do not think that it makes sense to be changing your position.... ABC News February 6, 2000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MR. RUSSERT: A banning of late-term abortions, so-called partial-birth abortions--you're against that? MAYOR GIULIANI: I'm against it in New York, because in New York...

MR. RUSSERT: Well, if you were a senator, would you vote with the president or against the president? [Note: President Clinton was in office in 2000]

MAYOR GIULIANI: I would vote to preserve the option for women. I think that choice is a very difficult one. It's a very, very--it's one in which people of conscious have very, very different opinions. I think the better thing for America to do is to leave that choice to the woman, because it affects her probably more than anyone else....

MR. RUSSERT: So you won't change your view on late-term abortion in order to get the Conservative Party endorsement?

MAYOR GIULIANI: It isn't just that. We shouldn't limit this to one issue. I'm generally not going to change my views - NBC Meet the Press, February 6, 2000

***Note: the version of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban that Giuliani opposed in 2000, that he said he supported Bill Clinton in vetoing the Republican-controlled Congress's legislation, contained the provision for the life of the mother that Rudy is now trying to pretend is a prerequisite for his support of it.

The gay vote swings for Rudy. LOL

"Congressman David Dreier Announces Support for Mayor Giuliani"

I'm glad the headline isn't: David Dreier Is Behind Giuliani.

[what's up]

Drier was one of the biggest bashers of Clinton in the 90's.

He took a conservative line on every issue.

Loved seeing him on TV then. Haven't seen much of him lately.

[Corin Stormhands]

I saw someone ask for this earlier today. Is anyone keeping a list of endorsements?

[angloamericanus]

Isn't an open secret that Dreier is gay--hence his support for Giuilian and his pseudo-conservatism.

Dreier voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment and the Flag Desecration Act.

Euan Blair, the son of Prime Minister Tony Blair, interned in his office.

Not exactly the kind of company, a conservative keeps.

[Clemenza]

A closeted homosexual endorsing the most pro-Gay member of the GOP. Surprise, surprise...

[prairiebreeze]

Man, it's going to be a long couple of years..

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

So what. Are there any real conservatives still there besides Mc Clintock?

[ZULU]

Let's see. Mary Bono and Devin Nunes support Giuliani.

I can't wait for the next supported - the Gubernator himself?

Perhaps even Diane Frankenfeinstein and Barbara Boxer.

[no dems]

If Rudy becomes Prez, then maybe Dreier will come out of the closet.
