RUDY: SHE'S NO EVIL STEPMOM; DEFENDS JUDI FROM HIS SON'S PARENT RAP (Judi's bitter divorce saga)

NY POST ^ | March 6, 2007 | GEOFF EARLE with Maggie Haberman

[Liz]

Rudy Giuliani vigorously defended his wife, Judith, as the perfect stepmom just days after his son, Andrew, revealed he doesn't get along with her. "My wife, Judith, is a loving and caring mother and stepmother," Giuliani told reporters after a meeting with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and county sheriffs.....he stood foursquare behind his wife, whose highly public relationship with Giuliani began while he was still married to the mother of his two kids.

Andrew Giuliani bluntly disclosed.... "There's obviously a little problem that exists between me and his wife." Sources familiar with the difficult relationship between the Giuliani kids and their stepmom said it started deteriorating before the couple married June 2003, but went south quickly after the wedding.

Giuliani's kids had hoped to carve out time to spend with their dad alone as things got worse, but he opted against it, the sources said.

At the same time, Rudy was involved in the life of Judith's daughter, Whitney, and even spoke at her graduation from York Preparatory school in May 2004. Sources say Giuliani has not visited Andrew at Duke, and that his relations with Caroline also are strained....even worse than with his son. Before she wed Giuliani, Judith went through a bitter court fight with Bruce Nathan over who would have custody of their daughter. Her ex-husband filed court papers in 2001 that said his daughter ran away from her mother when she was 16 and voluntarily moved in with him during the time when her mother was regularly at Giuliani's side in public while he was trying to get a divorce from Hanover.

Please explain to me what qualifications a mayor with no military or foreign policy experience has in national security.

You can always google Giuliani and foreign policy to find out.

Trouble is the only thing that comes up is Italian restaurants and delis Rudeo frequents.

Attention all Freepers, let's take a LOOK at Veronica's post and demand to know who on earth she really is.

Veronica just posted information from a blog http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2005/12/duncan-hunter-even-worse-than-randy.html

Let's further examine this source: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2006/04/nbc-rejects-moveonorg-ads-about-ohio.html

Excerpt:

NBC REJECTS MOVEON.ORG ADS ABOUT OHIO RIGHT-WING HACK DEBORAH PRYCE

Earlier today a friend of mine who works at MoveOn.org sent me an incredible ad that explains to Columbus, Ohio voters what a total doofus they have for a representative in Congress, Deborah Pryce.

MoveOn? A friend? Hello Veronica. Why are you referencing MoveOn.Borg sources???

Huh? You have some 'spaining to do

[veronica]

It's quite amusing to see all you "moral" high-minded types get as nasty as it can get in defense of your position. :) Rather illogical of you.

[spikeytx86]

Well you can call me a baby killer even though I am pro-life, but don't let the facts stop ya.

If I and the other 25-40% depending on which poll regarding Giuliani on FR you want to use are not welcome here, then the Moderators and JR are free to ban us immediately. I enjoy my time here, but I have no magical powers, If my presence is no longer wanted then that is up to the FR higher ups to decide, not yours.

I would like you to however, show me one post where I push anything close to supporting abortion though. And BTW my "Moral Leader" joke is from 'The Speech' that Reagan gave in 1964, referring to I believe senator Fulbright's comments on the presidency.

I guess Reagan was wrong too! /s

Precisely why God says that He hates divorce. He knows the havoc it wrecks.

[Calpernia]

Seems to me that 'freeper' Veronica is a friend of MoveOn and their propaganda. Hello to info from the enemy within.

Tabloid speculation?

[xsmommy]

if you have a candidate with baggage, it is naive to expect that it won't be dumped and hung out to dry. why the whining ? do you think that the dems won't use it, even if he DOES make it to the general election?

[veronica]

Exactly.

Just as Liz and others have lifted material from leftie sites to attack Rudy, it can be done to Duncan Hunter.

Thanks for noticing. :)

[Calpernia]

Looky here

[veronica]

Why do the Dems job for them?? That's a lame excuse for the sort of hatred that has been spewed at Rudy at this site. And if Rudy doesn't run, they'll rip McCain to shreds next.

These are ugly people.

[Calpernia]

Pardon me. We have to cross reference left sources such as Stonewall Vets and ANSWER because Rudy is a MEMBER.

[veronica]

Would you like me to go back and dig up the material from leftie sites that the anti-Rudy gang here has posted from? I can...:)

[xsmommy]

Why? in order to insure that your candidate will be able to withstand the dems attack. if he can't withstand it in the primary then he won't be able to withstand it in the general. the STRONGEST candidate with the LEAST baggage should be put forth for the general election.

That said, I would not vote Rudy nor my father for any awards in that department, however I don't see how those actions would affect my fathers ability to run a business or Rudy's to govern the Nation.

So if he had an affair while in office of President and openly snubbed his wife while flaunting the affair in public and then got a fourth divorce and married his new mistress, it would be acceptable to you? You didn't think that Bill Clinton's conduct with Monica was unacceptable for a President?

[Coldwater Creek]

I just can't get over how much Rudy looks and acts like Anna Nicole.

[veronica]

Oh please.

[Calpernia]

I post from Stonewall Vets because Rudy is a MEMBER. I openly admit that is a lefty site. You will have to address sources of other posters with THOSE posters.

Now, I am asking you about your source. Why are you referencing MoveOn.Borg propaganda?

"Affectionately Yours, President Hillary Rodman"

Well, if in Nov 2008 it comes down to brass tacks with Giuliani somewhere on the Republican ballot, and you refuse to make the right choice to elect a Republican, and not Hitlery Clinton, then you have brought it upon yourself and the nation.

But make no mistake that your position is selfish and childish. "I will take my ball and go home."

I truly wish you and your ilk would create a Morality Mommy Party and go off to play by yourselves. Good riddance. No more threats and tantrums.
