Littwin: Giuliani soft-pedals own positions
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Conventional wisdom can't always be wrong. Therefore, even before I got to South Carolina, I didn't see how basically pro-choice, pro-gun-control, pro-gay rights, pro-illegal immigrant Rudy Giuliani could win the Republican primary here.
Now that I'm here, I still don't see how...
*snip*
His biggest applause line Saturday came when discussing immigration and how anyone who becomes a citizen needs to read and write and speak English. On the same day, there's a story in The New York Times about Giuliani's long support for immigration rights, including those of illegal immigrants. You can see a trend here. And a problem.
So can Giuliani. On this stop, as on most, Giuliani assures the crowd not to worry if they don't always agree: "I don't always even agree with myself."
To which I say: Exactly.

Oh the horror of it all. A sense of humor. Just terrible.
Ping
Purge Ping?
This is an unbelievable phenomena.
Rooty has done the GOP much damage. His candidacy has also damaged people personally with an unsubstantiated promise of security in return for sacrificing your principles.
No to Rudy.
How can conservatives vote for this guy? I can’t believe anybody would fall for this flim-flam man. Apoligies to Mortikye Jones.
Strength and Leadership....He's a flipping joke.
A few conservatives are doing a hit job on Rudy worthy of MoveOn.org. Fortunately, you’re in a small minority among conservatives.
Not sure who you are referring to when you use the word "you're". Are you referring to me? My post was no "hit job".
Apparently there are many others just like me that are not wrapping ourselves up in the Rudy mystique. We see him for what he has always been and take what he spins now, to get elected, with a very small grain of salt.
Fixed.
“A few conservatives are doing a hit job on Rudy worthy of MoveOn.org.”
Why would the moonbats at Moveon attack Rudy?
Regardless of how he finesses the issues in the months ahead, he agrees with them on at least three of their pet goals: gun prohibition, infanticide and amnesty for foreign lawbreakers.
Simply answered, Conservatives cannot vote for the gun grabbing, pro abortion and pro illegal alien Rudy. RINO's and Republicans who are at their core really liberals, can.
“So can Giuliani. On this stop, as on most, Giuliani assures the crowd not to worry if they don’t always agree: “I don’t always even agree with myself.”
He makes John Kerry look intellectually consistent.
Isn’t the phrase “soft-peddle,” as in soft-sell?
He makes John Kerry look intellectually consistent.
"I knew that."
Now thats very telling. He has been on so many sides on every issue, he has to make that statement. It helps in case he forgets. Its up to the voter to decide.
Which door is the real Rooty behind? Is it door One, two, or is it door three?
If you win, you get a dinner at Bernies.
" Oh, please, let me sound conservative. Who knew I'd need those
'dumb pro-life Christian conservatives' to make a primary showing?
They're killing me on FR just b/c I had three wives, several mistresses,
was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, and marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner."
I just hope the door doesn't hit his sorry backside on his way OUT of the race."
Oh, Liz, you have such a flair and I hope it does hit him in the backside!
The door certainly isnt the first thing that probably ever hit him in his sorry backside!
