---"I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice for all of us, and as the mayor of New York City, I thank you for being here in New York City,”---Rudy Giuliani---

---"Perhaps more awkward for Giuliani now is a declaration he made in 2000 during an ABC interview with George Will that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision establishing the right to an abortion, was good constitutional law."---

I have two close friends who will be attending one of Rudy's speeches this evening - both are old school southern conservatives, but I would not describe them as social conservatives.

I will try to get their feedback tomorrow and report on it.

In July of 2005, he said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fit criteria that would be important to him when picking a Supreme Court justice.

“[W]hat’s important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court,” he said. “Justice Ginsburg fit that category.” Giuliani added that she was a “very qualified lawyer and a very smart person.”

That quote should slap some common sense into all Rudybots.

Unfortunately it won't.

“I thank NARAL for taking the lead in establishing freedom of choice.."
"“[W]hat’s important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court,” he said. “Justice Ginsburg fit that category.” Giuliani added that she was a “very qualified lawyer and a very smart person.”

Strict constructionist judges? Tell me another one Pinocchio!

At the NARAL lunch, Giuliani also said he and the assembled guests were “upholding a distinguished tradition that began in our city starting with the work of Margaret Sanger,” a founder of Planned Parenthood and a pioneer of distributing birth control to the poor.

They forgot the fact that the woman whose work Giuliani considers "distinguished" was a vile racist eugenicist.

Nice of you to edit the quote:

"I mean, she was — she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person.”

New bumper sticker for the rudy boosters:

---"Perhaps more awkward for Giuliani now is a declaration he made in 2000 during an ABC interview with George Will that Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision establishing the right to an abortion, was good constitutional law."---

Looks like I'm being heard. Now it's being brought from Free Republic to more of the press.



"We are here!!"
"We are HERE!!!!!"
"WE ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!"

"I mean, she was — she maybe came at it from a very different political background"

"Marxist ACLU background" is, of course, a better description

both are old school southern conservatives, but I would not describe them as social conservatives.

There you go again, trying to redefine conservatism. Just like Rush said.

Quick search found this. I never knew this until pointed out on a few threads. The more people that know the better and Rudy needs to stay in NYC where he belongs.

[Jake The Goose]

I am not a social conservative - not by any stretch.

I raise my kids to respect life, respect God, and honor their friends.

I do not judge my friends with regard to their being in agreement with my life styles, and I do knot judge theirs.

[Corin Stormhands]

"Marxist ACLU background" is, of course, a better description.

Well of course, but the point was leaving that out changes the meaning of the quote.

[JRochelle]

Check again.

I simply copied and pasted from the article.

Something just doesn't jive in that statement.

[Corin Stormhands]

Fair enough. In that case the author edited the quote.

It's still incomplete.

[JohnnyZ]

Two liberals (okay, one's more of a self-promoting weathervane than anything) I will not vote for in primary or general election: Rudy and Romney.

[Delphinium]

I am not a social conservative - not by any stretch.I know, your not a "conservative" at all.

No matter how you try to redefine conservative.

I won't go into your "respect God" claim.

[dynachrome]

"In that case the author edited the quote"
If true, that was wrong. Actual quote makes it worse IMHO.
