Rudy Giuliani, NO Fiscal Conservative

Townhall ^ | 4/4/07 | George Marlin

[Ol' Sparky]

The real single-issue voters are the ones that want to vote for this liberal simply to conduct the war on terror. He's gun-grabbing, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-illegal immigrant big government Republican.

Rudy is NO conservative

The real single-issue voters are the ones that want to vote for this liberal simply to conduct the war on terror.

And even at that, he's not the guy. He failed to move New York's ECC away from WTC 7 despite clearly-stated concerns by emergency professionals. He also pushed a corrupt crony for the most important anti-terror job in the country. Where he has had direct interaction with proactive WOT matters, he has failed miserably.

When Giuliani endorsed liberal icon Mario Cuomo for governor in 1994, he called the Republican-Conservative George Pataki's 25 percent state income tax cut (cloned from the Forbes-inspired New Jersey income tax cut) "irresponsible" and a "shell game that would hurt everyone in the state."

And Rudy has the nerve to constantly invoke Ronald Reagan in his campaign?

[ex-snook]

Ruby Julie Annie is no social conservative either. That puts him 0 for 2. Liberals crossdressing as a Conservatives is an attempt to bamboozle.

[kevkrom]

Let’s add in taxpayer funding for abortion as a failing of both fiscal and social conservatism. Guiliani reiterated such support only yesterday.

[RJL]

Rudy is Hillary in a man’s suit.

Rudy actively avoided the draft and has no military experience. Rudy has never held a position that dealt with foreign policy, the military, or war fighting. Rudy actively supported a sanctuary policy that would have given sanctuary to most of the foreign terrorists in this Country including three of the 911 terrorists.

What would make someone think Rudy has any type of background for conducting the WOT?

Rush played some of Rudy’s interview with Hannity yesterday. He said Rudy will remain in first place as long as he keeps talking like he was in that interview and describing the democrats for what they are.

Being elected Mayor of Americas "Sodom"(NYC) should be a Red Flag and disqualification....
instead of a qualification for president..

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Not to mention he used an act of sudden-jihad-syndrome at the Empire State Building as a prop for a gun control presser with Carolyn McCarthy.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Most liberal Republican to ever run for President.

[dirtboy]

Not to mention he used an act of sudden-jihad-syndrome at the Empire State Building as a prop for a gun control presser with Carolyn McCarthy.

Exactly. Yet we're supposed to believe he would never be tempted to sign a gun ban if offered by a Dem Congress. Especially one "justified" by a terror attack involving guns.

Meanwhile, Rudy's supporters make a big deal from of Rudy kicking Arafat out of a concert. Yet he refused to call the Empire State Building shooting an act of terror by a Palestinian. So much for his forcefullness against Islamic terrorists.

[Red6]

He like McCain has an “R” behind his name, that’s about it.

[babygene]

“Rudy is Hillary in a man’s suit.”

While still wearing panties...

[kevkrom]

He like McCain has an “R” behind his name, that’s about it.

McCain, at least, has a a decent ACU rating, even if he has turned into a dangerous, monomaniacal lunatic.

[yuta250]

When Giuliani endorsed liberal icon Mario Cuomo

I still remember back when he did this and won't ever forget it.

[Post-Neolithic]

As much as I like Rush, it has to be said. How is that “Don’t worry folks, the Democrats will never take the House or the Senate in 2006”, working for ya?

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

My question for Rudy-supporters is: What's in it for you? Why are you supporting a guy who, by all accounts, is in agreement with 10% or so of what the party platform says. Do you support Rudy because you think he's the way that moderates and liberals are going to "take back" the GOP from the gun-nuts and Bible-thumpers? Is that why you back Rudy? Doesn't it bother you in the least that the man has no respect for life, liberty, OR property - as his positions on issues ranging from abortion to the Constitution to property forfeiture indicate?

Does the Republican party REALLY need to nominate someone who isn't really a Republican to win? If so, then maybe the Republican Party should just fold it up, call the experiment in responsible self-government a failure, and go home and wait for the end.

That's what they say, but I suspect that most of them are liberals themselves.
