Here’s the recap.

[lormand]

...proudly rejected Rudy’s nomination from day one!

[HHKrepublican_2]

DOH! He’s going to regret saying that.

[Clint N. Suhks]

He’s not on my list too.

Still on the fence if he wins the primary whether I stay home or not.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

This was his ‘Howard Dean Scream’ moment.

[flashbunny]

“DOH! He’s going to regret saying that.”

He won’t for awhile. His boosters are lapping it up, doing all they can to spin it into a positive.

[irishtenor]

I will NEVER knowingly vote for a child killer. He will not get my vote even if Hillary is the only other candidate. (Of course, she won’t get my vote, either.)

[Clint N. Suhks]

doing all they can to spin it into a positive.

And that is what they did with their clarification.

SPIN LIKE A TOP.

Here’s the You Tube CNN interview.

Rudy supporters:

Rudy started his campaign with great name recognition and some promises to pretend to be a conservative. As time goes on, these promises are being challenged.

As Rudy fails these challenges, so should your support for him.

Well, Clint, you know that I have leaned heavily towards Mr. Giuliani...but, there are somethings up, with which I will not put.

Taxpayer funded abortion is one of them.

[rabidralph]

"Ultimately, [abortion is] a constitutional right, and therefore, if it's a constitutional right, ... you have to make sure people are protected,"

Then where is my constitionally-mandated, federally-funded firearms voucher?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Sorry, you have to be poor to qualify for the federal firearms voucher. /s

[aligncare]

The Bill of Rights contains exact language protecting citizen's rights to KABA.

There is no language mentioning abortion at all.

[zook]

He later told Sean Hannity that he had misspoken and that he supported the Hyde Amendment, which bars most federal abortion funding.

I’m all in favor of government funding in cases of rape or incest or to save a mother’s life. I hope that’s what Rudy meant.

[Alberta's Child]

I find it very odd, and consider it a serious "red flag," that Rudy Giuliani has never in his political career -- and even in any of his gyrations on this issue in recent days -- been able to utter the simple phrase: "I support the Hyde Amendment."

[aligncare]

I’m with you. I’m disappointed he made such a statement. I thought he wanted the Republican nomination!

[freespirited]

Rudy reiterated his previous position, and therefore such comments are not surprising. However, if he had changed his position, he would have been assailed as a flip-flopper who simply cannot be trusted.

IOW, a no-win situation, as there are some who are determined to use whatever he says to tear him apart.
