WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rudy Giuliani's message to social conservatives: If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

“With his numbers dropping like a rock...” LoL you keep confusing what is going on in your head with reality. How many Rudyphiles are worried about this alleged drop?

Rudy Giuliani's message to social conservatives: If you don't like my views, don't vote for me.

Number one, since when is upholding the 2nd Amendment a "social issue" promoted only by "social conservatives"? Gun grabber Giuliani opposes more than just social conservatives.

Two, I don't need liberal Giuliani's permission to not vote for him. I already don't vote for liberals. I don't vote for anyone who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, or anti-2nd Amendment. Period. I never have and I never will. Giuliani is all three and worse on other issues. I can't vote for Rudy Giuliani.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I mean, all the other Harpies are behind Rudy,

I have to buy you a beer for that one!

You don’t know him that well then. He is a RAT and an admitted TROLL and liar. My credentials are just fine.

[rintense]

If Rudy doesn't have the chops to deal with the hard questions, he shouldn't be running for President.

Honestly, did you really expect anyone with an R behind his name, RINO or not, to get a fair shake from the MSM? Tis a sad thing to expect the MSM to ask the unfair questions of R candidates. But it is reality. A reality that will happen to ALL of the candidates, even Fred if decides to run.

But to give credit to CNN for pissing off social conservatives about Rudy? Nope. They didn't like him to begin with. Rudy knows it. CNN knows it.

The only thing Rudy's words have served to do is solidify opposition to his candidacy for those of us who didn't support him to begin with.

"I'm comfortable with the fact that you won't vote for me," the former mayor said.

That makes two of us.

[MrEdd]

It won,t cost him any votes. social conservative werent going to vote for him anyway. regardless of whether it is in the primary or the election.

[streetpreacher]

The CNN writers are obviously biased to quote Rudy.

[Gracey]

I agree regarding the CNN hit piece. I watched it. It was TRASH filled with “gotcha” questions, over and over again. Finally Rudy thought he needed the floor to tout his accomplishments but the interviewer didn’t care nor acknowledge anything good that he did for NYC.

Hey, I like Rudy but I’ll vote for Hunter, Fred, Newt, anyone who happens to be the nominee.

The name of the game is to beat the Marxists/Democrats, not to eat our own.

[rintense]

I disagree with you on that. I think there are some Rudy supporters who have sold their soul, but Reg isn’t one of them.

[Gelato]

Of course I excerpted, and linked to both quotes in their context.

Not to worry. Rudy leaves no doubt of his position in this video. I'd post the whole transcript if I could find it.

Does this remind you of anyone?

The serial bully

* holds deep prejudices (eg against the opposite gender, people of a different sexual orientation, other cultures and religious beliefs, foreigners, etc - prejudiced people are unvaryingly unimaginative) but goes to great lengths to keep this prejudicial aspect of their personality secret

* is self-opinionated and displays arrogance, audacity, a superior sense of entitlement and sense of invulnerability and untouchability

* is a control freak and has a compulsive need to control everyone and everything you say, do, think and believe; for example, will launch an immediate personal attack attempting to restrict what you are permitted to say if you start talking knowledgeably about psychopathic personality or antisocial personality disorder in their presence - but aggressively maintains the right to talk (usually unknowledgeably) about anything they choose; serial bullies despise anyone who enables others to see through their deception and their mask of sanity

* flits from topic to topic so that you come away feeling you've never had a proper conversation

* refuses to be specific and never gives a straight answer

*is evasive and has a Houdini-like ability to escape accountability

*undermines and destroys anyone who the bully perceives to be an adversary, a potential threat, or who can see through the bully's mask

* is adept at creating conflict between those who would otherwise collate incriminating information about them

* is quick to discredit and neutralise anyone who can talk knowledgeably about antisocial or sociopathic behaviors

* may pursue a vindictive vendetta against anyone who dares to held them accountable, perhaps using others' resources and contemptuous of the damage caused to other people and organisations in pursuance of the vendetta

* is also quick to belittle, undermine, denigrate and discredit anyone who calls, attempts to call, or might call the bully to account

How is it, Gelato, that you show up on this thread after 10 days of not posting?

It's a hard thing managing two browsers at once ;-)

[Howlin]

Ping me when you talk about me, dweeb.

[PAR35]

it looks to me like he’s got one heck of a lot of support right here on FR

Currently 10.1% for members. I suppose it depends on your definition of 'a lot'.

are they are liberals

Apparently so.

[Howlin]

Is that a macro?

You can assume any damn thing you want.

[Deo volente]

Frankly, I don’t see any difference between Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, other than gender.

And I’m not even sure of that.
