Those who get all worked up about those pictures have such a skewed sense of humor and proportion or both, the rest of their perspective is called into question.
I don't get this at all...just because people don't agree on what is "humor" , it calls into question their perspective?????
I could turn that around you know, and say that since you do find that sort of thing humorous, your perspective is called into question.
What Rudy does for humor is Rudy's business, what his stance on major issues such as abortion, gun control, and gay rights, is what concerns me.
Personally, I would like to see an adequate, reasonable defense for these issues addressed by a Republican Rudy supporter.

I'm sure it could be... It's perfectly acceptable to judge me by what I find funny. Humor says a lot about a person. :~)

OK - I'll give what I think... don't know if it'll be considered adequate or reasonable :~)
Abortion: I don't see abortion as an issue that any candidate, pro life or not, has made much of a difference on in all my years of following politics. It generates a lot of heat in debate, but once elected, most politicians have pretty much done all they can to avoid the issue. If abortion is to end, I think it's much more likely it will be because of advances in medicine and technology than from any poll-watching politician. I just don't give it that much weight in political elections because it just hasn't seemed to matter that much either way. It's an issue that's all noise, not much action.
Gun control: Gun control is the issue where Rudy gives me the most pause because it affects me and is important to me. I'll be paying very close attention to what he says and does in this campaign on this issue. Personally, I think he probably has a big city attitude and aversion to guns that is common among city folk. But he's also said that NYC type gun control is a local decision not a federal one. I don't see him making any attempt to impose restrictions at the federal level, I think he believes it is a state and local issue. If he says or does otherwise, I'll argue he's wrong.
Gay rights: Just simply don't care. He says he doesn't want any kind of heterosexual marriage amendment to the constitution, frankly I agree. I don't want to see the constitution amended for such a stupid and petty reason.
