HAPPY EASTER!
Why I’m not voting for Rudy: I’m a conservative!!
Whatever...
Why would Christopher Miles waste a perfectly good vote on a liberal like Guiliani? Has Chrissy been smokin’ dope?
“I would say that anyone who wants to have government tell others how to live by their religious standards is not conservative at all.”
For many opposition to abortion isn’t based on religious precepts. Its due to the simple fact that the act is the destruction of life. And life is viewed under conservatism, IMHO, as a primary object worth defending and protecting. Whether or not its the job of the Federal govt or the state is another story but the point stands. The idiot author of this piece is simply trying to shelve the abortion issue by tying opposition to abortion to the GOP religious busybodies. Yes they exist and are just as disgusting as the leftwing varient. But sorry, nice try - no dice.
Nothing to see here, just another RINO whine.
He's basing his decision on Ted Rall???
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
He's wrong, a woman DOES NOT have a right to choose to kill her unborn baby no matter what the lawyers say.
He will not get the nomination based on that alone.
Translation: Voters with moral values will not be welcome in Giuliani's GOP.
It’s news to me that you’re not a conservative if you have objections to murder.
Guns are another area where Rudy Giuliani is a liberal extremist. He has said on national TV that he does not believe in the private ownership of handguns. That's not just an anti-gun position. It's an extremist, anti-gun position. He also joined mayors suing gun manufacturers by making the claim that they are responsible for gun violence. Again, his position is not just anti-gun; it's an extreme, anti-gun position.
This writer doesn't like pro-lifers. I'm sorry he feels that way. I don't always like pro-life leaders, and some pro-lifers denounce some of my stands on this issue. However, one guy's desire to see the pro-life movement hurt isn't a good reason to vote for a candidate.
The fact is that Rudy Giuliani cannot win the general election. No Republican wins without crossover votes from conservative "Reagan Democrats," and Rudy Giuliani won't win those votes. In fact, he represents some of the same positions that cause those people to abandon the Democrats and vote for Republicans. The independent voters are not just an amorphous mass of moderates who will swing to whichever side seems less extreme. Many of them have strong feelings about certain issues and don't see their views represented well in either party. They don't trust Republicans, and Rudy Giuliani will be seen as just another untrustworthy Republican who would stick it to them at the first opportunity.
Another point is that retaking Congress will depend on getting conservatives to return to the polls in 2008 and vote for Republicans. If the party nominates someone who is a slap in the face to conservatives, many of those people will not vote. The pro-abortion, anti-gun people that Giuliani might bring to the polls will vote for Democrats in Congressional races. Nominating Rudy Giuliani means losing the chance to retake Congress.
The Republicans can't do worse than nominating Rudy Giuliani.
Bill
Maybe for the 'Rats.
If Fred runs...I’m voting for FRED THOMPSON!!!!
Rooty Fruity, sorry attempt to get my vote.
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.

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: 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.

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.
