Well, it has not derailed Rudy with me, because, with me, as a result of his stand on those issues...he was never on the tracks to begin with.

Speaking to relatives and friends around the country...they feel the same way. There was never even a consideration on our part to vote for the man.

I believe there are millions and millions who feel the same. but that is just my own opinion.

[KATIE-O]

It looks like conservative Republicans are willing to give Rudy a pass on his less than strict conservative social politics, rather than face a Billary White House for another 8 miserable years.

So am I.

""I've met with several social conservatives and they are leaning strongly to Rudy," said Steve Forbes"

Muzza been New Yorkers.

Sorry, Steve, your open borders candidate ain't gonna make it.

[ExpatGator]

I kinda like Steve, but his city-boy self would not know a real conservative country-ass cracker if one spit some chaw on his $800 shoes. How the hell does he presume to speak for us?

[DeaconBenjamin2]

Forbes did cite Joel Rosenberg -- evangelical Christian, best-selling novelist, and a veteran of past Forbes campaigns ...

Who?

[Alberta's Child]

Although he said he couldn't give the names of most of those he has talked to who are poised to join the Giuliani bandwagon . . .

This is no different than Bill Simon's comment a few weeks ago, in which he stated that he "has an assurance that Giuliani will nominate strict constructionists to the U.S. Supreme Court."

No assurance from Giuliani himself, mind you . . . just "an assurance" from some unnamed person who could be just about anyone on the freakin' planet.

[Chickensoup]

Forbes really never had his hand on the pulse of the country...and still doesnt.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

"I've met with several social conservatives and they are leaning strongly to Rudy,"

Just like the mysterious "Senior high-ranking officials" that appears from thin air whenever politicians need a reference.

Forbes: Social Issues Won't Derail Rudy

..horsefeathers--he won't even make it to the finals...

[Politicalmom]

Wow. Lucky Giuliani. Compromising another one of his "values" got him a lovely little endorsement.

Before: I am totally against the flat tax.

After: Gotta love that flat tax!!

[chilepepper]

I think the social issues have *already* derailed Giuliani.

Why else the press conference to try to patch the hole in his deflated campaign?

just blame fred for even *existing* as an alternative - looks like rudy's conservative support was mighty thin.

sorry rudy - you would have lost to the hitlary anyway.

If Giuliani survives the primary's the republican party is DOA..
If McLame survives the primary's the republican party is brain dead..
If Romney survives the primary's the republican party is in a COMA..

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

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

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. 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.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

Rudy has always been a media circus,from the beginning as US Attorney but then never brought charges (it didn't matter that he ruined Richard Wigton's life). This is "America's Mayor", who was reviled in New York City on September 10. This is the genius who moved his emergency command center into the worlds biggest terrorist target - against the advice of all experts, because he couldn't be bothered to go across a bridge into Brooklyn. If that command center wasn't destroyed on 9/11, he might actually have been doing something to help save lives instead of wandering around lower Manhattan with nothing to do but pose for the cameras. Rudy is white trash just like Clinton nothing new about that but let us not make the same mistake twice.

MAYOR GIULIANI AND SPEAKER VALLONE ANNOUNCE CITY LAWSUIT AGAINST GUN INDUSTRY,

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.

All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

If rootie gets the nomination you can kiss half of the Republican party goodbye.

He won't win.

The theory that he can beat Hillary is wrong. He IS Hillary.

Granted, he looks better in a dress. That is not enough to win.
