"Despite Mr. Giuliani's long history of supporting gay rights — or rather, because of it — yesterday's statement is likely to lead many to question whether the former mayor is concerned that his socially liberal record and positions aren't flying in the Republican primary. While he still holds a commanding lead in the national polls, he has taken a hit over the last month or so after reiterating his support for the public funding of abortion."

What a whore.

No check that. At least with a whore you've got a pretty good idea of what you're going to get and how much it's going to cost you.

This guy isn't even honorable enough to be called that.

He’s no more a hypocrite than our own small-government, secure borders president. Take your pick.

Rudy’s numbers while he was mayor of New York, are arguably pretty good. But the man does not have the character, to be President of the United States. Even thought his character may be quite a bit higher than either one of the Clinton’s. Clearing a bar, set that incredibly low, is not a cause for celebration.

What an Issue Pimp.

Sheesh. This guy in the White House disturbs me.

And the flip-flopping continues...

Guess he’s inherited Effin’s flip flops.

No way on earth I’d ever support a liberal, gun-grabbing, pro-abortion, queer-bot.

I just think more highly of the United States than to do that to my country.

Jim,

I realize this is off-topic, but could you or someone compare Giuliani’s annual New York expenditure of $3 billion on a police force of 37,000 to a similarly large city of California or elsewhere? $81,000 per force employ seems a bit in excess.

IMO, taxpayers had a right to expect crime rates to decline in NYC with a force expense like that when taken into consideration national crime rates were declining.

He once stated that he supported and shared the same views as Clinton. As this campaign goes on the liberal DNA that he shares with Clinton is becoming more obvious with his comments and actions.

“Giuliani Would Marry Gay Couple if Gay Marriages Were Legalized."

Howard Koeppel, one of the openly gay men Giuliani lived with during the
unraveling of his second marriage, said: “He [Giuliani] did tell us that if they
ever legalized gay marriages, we would be the first one he would do.”
SOURCE: New York Times, 8/04/01; Newsday (New York), 5/19/06”

Giuliani at Gracie Mansion in 1997 with Howard Koeppel,one of the
openly gay couple Giuliani lived with, after ditching his wife and kids
to be with his mistress.

If Fred Thomspon can "change his mind" about CFR, and still be the Great White Hope here, why can't Rudy evolve too??

Fred Thompson says gay rights should be left up to the states. That's called a punt. :)

[veronica]

(Thompson) called last month for "a tolerant nation" on gay rights

"Still, conservatives' concerns about Thompson persist: In the Senate during the 1990s, he served as a chief backer of campaign-finance legislation, which conservatives say diminishes their influence in politics. He also called last month for "a tolerant nation" on gay rights."

I am not attacking Fred Thompson BTW. I am pointing out that Rudy's positions on certain issues are not all that different, when you get to the nitty-gritty, than some of the other GOP candidates or possible candidates.

Seems like Rooty can't make his mind up now that he realizes - or has been told - there's a big piece of land West of the Hudson called the USA.

With every answer on every subject the 'tough as nails' Rooty can't make a decision now and stick to it.

I think 'his people' need to get him a new ..

Or better yet, he can drop out and stay in NYC or his Long Island mansion.

[Mr. Brightside]

he still holds a commanding lead in the national polls

Take heart.

One recent poll stated that 70 percent of Republican primary voters were unaware of Rudy's liberal positions on abortion, gay rights and guns.

Much as with his confusion over the Second and its purported connection to hunting, the leftwing mayor is awfully hard to pin down. He seems to think the entire citizenry just can't understand the legal issues involved. For a lawyer, he has pretty vague ideas on fundamental law.

I like this flipflopping pretty well. He's a leftwinger and he's being caught in trying to move right, then he remembers his leftwing credentials and then flipflops back the other way.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

PING!

He is flipping and flopping in a way that would do Lurch proud.
