I lead I don’t follow! If I lose I lose but I follow my own course. I respect JR but I am not giving up Rudy until he loses and then I support the winner.
When President Reagan won was it a landslide?
I believe it was.
Why don’t you knock it off. You know very well where I stand here. You’ve been here long enough.
You too! Happy Easter! :-)
Nope. Part of leadership is taking responsibility. You promote a liberal, you answer for that.
And who made you the one to dole out punishment? I don’t answer to you or anyone else. Don’t get cocky!
Happy Easter to you too
Answering for your views is “punishment”? How painful for you.
Other than tax cuts, the biggest domestic issue of the 2004 election was President Bush's support of a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani has taken a "Kerryesque" position on gay marriage.
Although Rudy, like John Kerry, has said that marriage should remain between a man and a woman, he also supports civil unions, "marched in gay-pride parades" ...dressed up in drag on national television for a skit on Saturday Night Live (and moved in with a) wealthy gay couple" after his divorce. He also very vocally opposed running on a gay marriage amendment:
His thoughts on the gay-marriage amendment? "I don't think you should run a campaign on this issue," he told the Daily News earlier this month. "I think it would be a mistake for anybody to run a campaign on it -- the Democrats, the president, or anybody else."
Here's more from the New York Daily News:
"Rudy Giuliani came out yesterday against President Bush's call for a ban on gay marriage.
The former mayor, who Vice President Cheney joked the other night is after his job, vigorously defended the President on his post-9/11 leadership but made clear he disagrees with Bush's proposal to rewrite the Constitution to outlaw gays and lesbians from tying the knot.
"I don't think it's ripe for decision at this point," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"I certainly wouldn't support [a ban] at this time," added Giuliani..."
Although Rudy may grudgingly say he doesn't support gay marriage (and it would be political suicide for him to do otherwise), where he really stands on the issue is an open question.
You constantly spam my threads with your drivel -same stuff different day. You have no respect for anyone. And you are a follower of a group of people who use nasty little tactics to get their way. I have no respect for you or your ilk. From now on I have you on my ignore list.
LOL 290 RATS!
Betcha it's an error...should have said 290 Republicans and Republican leaners.
The poll was TAKEN before he stated that he favored public financing of abortion and tried to redefine what a strict Constitutionalist is... Never let facts get in the way of your opinion, though.
Nevermind, that his poll numbers were in freefall in New Hampshire, where he slipped to third and that Hillary caught him in a Rasmussen poll a few days ago...All pre-gaffe as well.
We know you're a liberal...
The poll wasn't taken before the gaffe this week. Good grief. You Rudy apologists consistently live in a fantasy world.
We? A member of the same group?
Sorry you haven’t the courage of your convictions. That is sad.
As Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics has pointed out, Rudy is an adherent of the same approach to illegal immigration that John McCain, Ted Kennedy, George Bush, and Harry Reid have championed:
"While McCain has taken heat for his support of comprehensive immigration reform, Rudy is every bit as pro-immigration as McCain - if not more so. On the O'Reilly Factor last week Giuliani argued for a "practical approach" to immigration and cited his efforts as Mayor of New York City to "regularize" illegal immigrants by providing them with access to city services like public education to "make their lives reasonable." Giuliani did say that "a tremendous amount of money should be put into the physical security" needed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border, but his overall position on immigration is essentially indistinguishable from McCain's."
That's bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and "America's Mayor" actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:
"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."
If you agree with the way that Nancy Pelosi and Company deal with illegal immigration, then you'll find the way that Rudy Giuliani tackles the issue to be right down your alley.
