Only reason I'd come is to run a pack of Foxhounds through Central Park, just think, all that space being wasted!
My idea of fun isn't sitting around drinking and watching wierd people, thank you!
"A Guiliani presidency would be a disaster for many reasons in my opinion, but these pictures will say it all for our enemies both here and abroad."
That's what you hope and that's why you post them 24/7.
We get it.
Well, there you go, declining the invite. NEXT! I won't be checking my bag, thank you, just take it on board with me...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I didn't post the pictures. Even if I had such pictures in my computer, I would have no idea how to post them. Maybe you ought to read the name associated with the posts before you go shooting your mouth off because somebody doesn't agree with your assessment of Rudy?
"Me thinks it's wishful thinking by the RudyHaters."
No, it's actual analysis of poll internals.
You see, naive people look at the poll headlines and see meaning.
People with a clue look to the internals and methodology of the polls to find out what's really going on. Who was polled, when, what questions were asked, etc.
What you see when you do that is obvious - rudy is riding on name recognition - what you'd expect for 22 months from the general election. That gives him high numbers compared to other candidates. But the numbers behind it reveal the people being polled are unaware of his real positions. That's the big problem for rudy.
You can say this about Romney and McCain too. In fact you can probably say it about all the candidates. About the only people tuned in right now are the junkie faction.
The polls don't show it because the pollsters are apparently too dumb to notice the inconsistency in their approach.
If you go, don't breathe, you never know what that air has been run through!
"One-third of voters take issue with a presidential candidate who supports gun control or has been married three times like Rudy Giuliani, a new Time magazine poll shows.......30 percent couldn't back a candidate who favors gun control, while another 35 percent have trouble with someone with three marriages. That includes 48 percent of "born-again" white Christians. But the survey also shows 56 percent don't know Giuliani's marital history, 68 percent don't know his stand on gun control (he's been saying it's a state matter), and nearly 80 percent don't accurately know where he is on abortion rights (he favors it)....Giuliani is partly an unknown quantity nationally..."

I know you rudybots don't want to believe it, but when it's closer to two years from the general election than it is to one, any polls are largely meaningless name recognition polls. Most americans aren't paying attention. They're watching american idol. More americans can tell you who got kicked off of the show last week than can tell you rudy's positions on abortion or gun control or illegal immigration.
You rudy boosters are going to be just as deflated as the libs when they early exit polls didn't lead to president kerry. You're investing so much in what is basically hype.
I think you probably wouldn't like thomas sowell's latest column - maybe because it's too true or he's too much of an evil conservative, but I'd give him, oh, about million times more credibility than the rudyboosters.

"Some of us had just gotten used to the fact that it is now 2007, when all sorts of people started acting as if it is 2008.
Polls keep coming out showing who is the front-runner among the many Democratic and Republican candidates for their respective parties' presidential nomination. Why all this hype, this early, about front-runners? Has everyone forgotten the old saying, "In politics, overnight is a lifetime"?
Some of us are old enough to remember "front-runner Ed Muskie" and "front-runner Gary Hart," not to mention "President Dewey." "

But I guess a noted writer like Sowell is wrong because he doesn't realize "2008 is different!!!".
You're scarin' me...
As a person hemay be okay, but as POTUS he is frightening.
Hey, we don't talk about the water where you come from, do we?
Besides, I'm from the 7th largest city in the country. I know pollution already!
"By contrast you know exactly where Rudy stands, kill them at will."
That's a misquote and you know it.
As for betting, if I were the betting type I'd bet that Rudy is more true to his word than Mitt. Just based on what they've said thus far.
Oh puleeze! Don't get hysterical now.
My post was directed at you.
I gotta think that the picture will be pretty much a non-issue in the election. As far as the Arab St. sure they'll mock it but should they go up against Rudy and loose they and their children and their children's children will have to know that they got their tail kicked at the hands of that (wo)/man.
You presume to tell me what I "hope" and then tell me about posting pictures "24/7"? Facts not in evidence.
"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'."
