Hotline Hears

Rudy Giuliani has picked up the edorsement of Rep. Charlie Dent (PA). According to Giuliani's team, Dent plans "to enlist other" PA GOPers to follow suit.

Dent, explaining his support: "Giuliani successfully led New York City and became known as 'America’s Mayor' because of his dynamic approach to tackling the challenges facing America’s largest city... It takes a determined fiscal leader to make the kind of transformation he achieved as Mayor of New York – and his record speaks for itself." (Hotline reporting)

Rudy is for the WOT! He has supported Bush throughout the WOT! Also on borders - This is what he says:

"Seal the borders first!, Screen out the criminals, the drug dealers, and potential terrorists; and require anyone who stays to learn our language and assimilate."

Hey - great graphic!

[garv]

Rudy's fiscal conservatism and turnaround in NYC (1993-2001) has been called the greated achievement of the 20th century.

Who called it that?

[Peach]

Did you read the link I gave you from Deroy Murdock? Hillary can't take credit for most of that.

[quantim]

It's your bumper sticker idea - feel free to link!

[wagglebee]

It's all going to come down to perception and how the media plays it, Hillary will get to take credit for just about anything she wants.

***Rudy's fiscal conservatism and turnaround in NYC (1993-2001) has been called the greated (sic) achievement of the 20th century.***

.."the 'greatest' achievement of the 20th century."?!?!?

• Yep, sure beats that Moon Landing thingy and the entire NASA program.
  
• Gen Chuck Yeager will be greatly disappointed that breaking the Sound Barrier on October 14, 1947 was meaningless.
  
• And defeating the Axis Powers in WWII was what .. a part time job done by HS drop outs?
• Not to mention the Wright Brothers 1st heavier than air flight in 1903. You know the 'Airplane'.
  
• Or Marconi's first transatlantic radio signal in 1901
  
• Yep greater than the invention of Television.
  
• Much greater than Air Conditioning
  
• Greater than the 1st COMPUTER
  
• Greater than the Internet
  
• Etc, etc, etc, etc....

Please, hyperbole is one thing, utter nonsense is another.

BTW, your 'fiscal conservative' has REFUSED to sign a 'No Tax Pledge'.
In case you missed it, here's the thread on it:

I believe the dynamics (due to primaries) has changed that, it appears everyone is scrambling for the organization, endorsements, donations, etc. Others here have explained it a lot better then I but it seems like if you don't get in now, there will be nothing to get into.

[Rudder]

Reagan campaigned for Goldwater.

[Josh Randal]

Are you talking about 'numbers' in a group or age of the person? Just wondering. :)

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

So did Hillary Clinton.

[Peach]

Thank you for posting that!!! And in the proper format. I'm impressed.

[Fawn]

I heard Sean Hannity praising him last night......

[zbigreddogz]

If you consider protectionism and being a lifetime politician 'Conservative', then yes.

[NittanyLion]

Rudy's fiscal conservatism and turnaround in NYC (1993-2001) has been called the greated achievement of the 20th century.

ROFL. Funny stuff!

[Fawn]

WOW....great resources. I won't steal that one from you....;)

[ecurbh]

[areafiftyone]

[areafiftyone]
