OH YEAAA RIIIIGHT! Tell that to all my friends who had guns during Rudy's term as mayor and still have them. I guess they didn't know that Rudy came in the middle of the night and grabbed them. (/sarcasm)
Oh by the way - every Mayor of NYC marches in the Gay Pride Parade. It's tradition. They may not like it but they have to do it. YOU apparently don't understand what it is to be Mayor of a large city with a huge gay population.
Well, that's my definition of Strength and Leadership -- a person who does what he does because he has to.
And when he is forced to back down on Iran, he'll do that as well, because that's what we do?
Mayors are also forced to support lawsuits against gun manufacturers, sponsor parties for liberal organizations, and speak kindly to NARAL. And appoint liberal judges.
Wow. Imagine how bad it would be if someone who DIDN'T have strength and leadership were to be mayor of New York -- oh, I guess it wouldn't be much different since the Mayor is forced to do all those things anyway.
Rudy -- Don't blame me, they MADE me do it.
How many of the 100 plus mayors of NYC have been forced to march in the GPP?
He seemed pretty gay(happy) in the pictures he was cross-dressed in. He probably reeeealy hated living with those 2 gay(homo) guys after his divorce too.
Chicago Mayors have been marching in the Gay Pride Parade (and almost every group's parade) for a long time. It is simply practical politics in urban areas. You are not only looking for votes (some gays are conservative), but you are also looking to avoid making enemies with a powerful urban political bloc.
The parade can be a disgusting spectacle of perversity, but when I am in a tolerant mood I think of it as a bunch of overamped homosexuals making fun of themselves and everyone else. If the want to bf each other and wear outrageous costumes, that's their business - as long as they leave kids and animals out of it. (Oh! The poor gerbils!)
BS!!!
Rudy led a crackdown on LEGITIMATE permits and rescinded THOUSANDS. Yet, his buddies still have theirs. Tell THAT to my friends on the NYPD.
NOBODY has to march with a group of deviants, regardless of their distorted representation. Rudy picked his base and marched with them, showing his full support.
He's in good company with Teddy, Nancy and other fellow Democrats.
