As a Duncan Hunter supporter I am choosing not to engage in debate on this Rudy Giuliani thread on Free Republic. As a freeper I am disappointed that there are fans of a liberal presidential candidate trying to push socially liberal views on this socially conservative forum. In particular, I have noticed that the Rudy G fans do not answer posts questioning the qualitative substance of their candidate, or the posts are met merely with insults.

Statement of Jim Robinson, Founder of Free Republic:

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.

Transcript of video below.




Will the real Rudy show up at CPAC?

Culture of life:

ABC clip:

George Will: "Do you think Roe v Wade was good constitutional law?"

Rudy Giuliani: "Yes I believe, I believe it is."

Cnn Clip December 2, 1999:

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

Rudy Giuliani : "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing."

Immigration

CNN clip:

Announcer: "Back in 1996, mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants."

Rudy Giuliani: "There isn't a mayor or a public official in this country that's more strongly pro immigrant than I am. Including disagreeing with President Clinton when he signed an anti-immigration legislation about two or three years ago."

Gun control:

CNN clip

Rudy Giuliani: "I'm in favor of gun control"

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "How about registration of all handguns?"

Rudy Giuliani: "You know I'm in favor of that. I've been on your show many times."

Gay Rights:

CNN Clip:

Announcer: "As mayor he supported civil unions, and extending health and other benefits to gay couples."

ABC Clip: "I supported domestic partnership legislation and signed it"

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "So should gay people be openly allowed to serve?"

Rudy Giuliani: "I think people should be judged on the merits. And there should not be a specific focus on someone's sexual orientation."

First Amendment:

ABC Clip

Cokie Roberts: "Would you vote in the senate in favor of Mccain / Feingold?"

Rudy Giuliani: "Yes, I'm a big supporter of Mccain / Feingold. I have been for a long time."

Party Loyalty:

ABC Clip:

Rudy Giuliani: "Frankly George, I'd like to run on all the lines. I'd like to run on the liberal line, the conservative line, I'd like to run on the democratic line if I could figure out how to do it."

Conservative Values:

Meet The Press:

Tim Russert: "Whether it's gays in the military, gun control, campaign finance, late term abortion - you and Hillary Clinton are in sync on those issues."

Rudy Giuliani: "Well then maybe the other side should stop the 'He's part of the vast right wing conspiracy'."

Welcome To CPAC, Rudy!

End clip.

After all, abortion is not an issue when a terrorist has killed you.

It is if the terrorist is a NARAL "doctor" of death.

The pro-Rudy posters remind me of my Grandmother. She used to hold my nose, tilt my head back and force a big spoon-full of Castor oil down my throat. It tasted like crap and gave me the runs, just like Rudy. :)

It's not that I'm voting for Rudy, but the vacuum to be filled has been filled.

Well, the author's not voting for Rudy...and I'm not voting for Rudy...and there seems to be quite a few who aren't going to vote for Rudy. He's going to have to pull quite a few democrat voters to make up for the conservatives he's not going to have voting for him.

I hope to attend a Rudy rally sometime in the future and get his autograph on my copy of his book, "Leadership".

It's 2 years till the election

Hillary may not even beat Obama.

But only Rudy can beat Hillary?

I don't want this to sound rude, but I can't think of another way to say it.

I sometimes wonder if many the Rudy supporters are lazy.

They want a win, but they see a chance to win without having to invest all that time and money.

Rudy does well because he has a combination of high name recognition, as well as low negatives.

When the population gets the news that he's an abortion advocate, he's toast.

I am so fed up with people on this forum attempting to push Rudy on as as the only choice, when the strong trend on FR itself is against Rudy.

The vast majority of the Freepers are in the know about Rudy, and with time, so will the general public.

he has nowhere to go... but down. Let's say he peaked WAY too early.

I can't wait until we are finished talking about him.
