Republican have for the most part fallen into two categories. They either want to legislate morality at the national level interfering into the affairs of the states (often labeled the 'true conservatives') or they want to waste money on government programs in the promise they're somehow helping (most Republicans and reminiscent of many of Bush's programs). They may throw in some lip service to the 'true conservatives', get a woo-hoo from that crowd, and move on.
What a choice. It's like being asked which eye do you want to be poked in first? Neither are worth a damn but I could live with worthless government programs easier than I could some hack 1000 miles away telling me how I should really live and he's going to pass a law to make sure I do it.
I read somewhere that Giuliani believes the issue of abortion should be left to the states. If that's the case, then he's better than the 'true conservatives' who want a new Amendment for practically everything. It means he'll appoint judges more like Thomas and less like Roberts or Alito. More of a federalist slant. I could even live with a moderate judge if they ruled most issues were concerns of the states. The federal judiciary was meant to have a very specific role with a rather limited scope. And it's clear liberals nor 'true conservatives' care about this. What will happen if Giuliani were to appoint someone like this more than likely is that there would be overspill of federalism into other decisions. And that would be a very good thing. Not too many judges support federalism on just one cause. You see it at times with Scalia and moreso with Thomas. This is just a what if but hopefully a plausible scenario.
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in abortion, I don't support it, but I do know that some issues were not intended to be political footballs at the national level to be kicked around by morons looking for more facetime on the national news.
That being said, I have no dog in this hunt. I'll cast a ballot for Rep. Paul in the primary and as stated find something else to do Election Day (unless someone I know personally is running locally then I may bother). Life's too short to be worried which political hack gets into office and continues the same mess as his predecessor. If Giuliani wins so what? Would he be better than Clinton? I suppose. Y'all have at it.
At this point, I don't have a favorite candidate nad I won't even begin to choose one until after the first of the debates, which start on April 4, 2007.
Giuliani would appoint pro-abortion judges.
