Rooty is a serial bridegroom, failed father, and perennial adulterer. Here's how Rooty dumped his wife and mother of his children: With his mistress waiting in the wings, then-Mayor Rudy actually called a press conference to publicly announce his separation from his second wife EXCEPT THAT HE HAD NOT BOTHERED TO TELL HIS THEN-WIFE, DONNA HANOVER, BEFOREHAND. Rudy then publicly announced to the press his separation from his wife who had no inkling she was being dumped. At that time, Rudy was taking his mistress---not his wife--- to cancer treatment sessions. He never bothered to tell his wife about his illness. Rudy then decided he could not live with his sex playmate out of his reach, and planned to bring his mistress into the Mayoral home (on the spurious claim that Hanover wasn't helping him through cancer treatments---an illness he had not even bothered to tell his wife about). Rudy publicly announced he wanted to "divide the mayoral home" in two, one side for his wife AND one side mistress---a transparent ploy to force his wife and children out into the streets. Public documents indicate Hanover was forced to go to court to declare Gracie Mansion the marital home so as to exclude Rudy's sex playmate. The judge acquiesced to Hanover's plea. Thwarted but not defeated, Rudy moved in with a happily civil unioned gay couple while his wife fended off Rudy's relentless efforts to ditch her.
On Mother's day 2000, while still married, Rudy publicly paraded his mistress up and down Second Avenue for newspaper pictures. The evilness of this marital betrayal astonished even blasé New Yorkers. Giuliani's vendetta against his wife and children was still not sated. Public documents indicate he cut the security detail to the mother of his children......but he provided government security to his mistress Judi who had no official duties (unless you consider getting Rudy sexually blitzed an "official duty".)
Romney is the American ideal---Giuliani, the American nightmare.
Duncan Hunter is better than both of them. He is conservative, he has the Ozzie and Harriett family too.
I wish we could get beyond Mitt’s image to the core of who he is. His religion happens to be one of those things, his marriage another. His politics is perhaps the most important. But answer me this, besides being taller and better looking, what does Mitt have over Hunter? Name recogition?
Whoever receives the nomination will have all the publicity and name recognition they need. Mitt’s an ‘executive,’ does that prepare him? Hunter is a proven, conservative politician. Mitt has the baggage of what some people view as an irrational belief? That is a big hurdle - like it or not.
Hunter is a stronger conservative with proven values. Mitt is a good looking, flipper. Both have children and one wife. Which one do you want?
I know his religion from the inside out. I don’t like it....but that isn’t the only reason I don’t like Mitt. He is too slick, to polished, too liberal, too perfect. He is not human enough.
Hunter is in the trenches. He is actively fighting and has served his country for his ideals. It’s time the party quit trying to appeal to the middle ground. If you think Mitt is going to reach those in the middle, you might want to rethink your position. Part of that middle ground will not vote for him because of his religion....to ignore this fact is to put our party in a place of peril.
Bush betrayed us and so will the others - if they don’t the latest Amnesty will eliminate the need to betray us for another 20 years - and then we will be the Banana Republic of America. Once the tidal wave of illegals become “on the road” it is OVER - no hope. There will be a place called US of A but it won’t be America.
The only hope is to bring back the draft and see if these people are Americans. One “former” illegal, now a citizen, is proud of how he served. His wife showed up at the draft board with a pillow under her dress so he didn't have to be drafted. As far as I am concerned the next true Americans now are in uniform. Unfortunately, they are preserving the Political Parties’ dictatorship. Sorry for the rambling. I am besides myself with the "representatives" disregard for the people.
Religion as an image component in an election is very divisive in American politics. Unless he does that, he has no hope of becoming president.
“Romney should be given a fair shake.....his policies and leadership qualities should be scrutinized, not his religious affiliation. That kind of bigotry should have gone by the wayside with the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy, a Roman Catholic....beyond the good looks and stylish presentation of Romney, is a highly intelligent, very driven and skillful politician. He’s a caring man with a nice family. Why should he be criticized for having that? It used to be the American ideal; maybe it’s time to have it again. Manhattan”
I’d go with that, as long as everyone is comfortable with looking the other way when a muslim jihadist runs, or a scientologist as nutty as Tom Cruise, or an atheist runs who has substituted Earth worship for belief, or . . . or. . . .
How people can believe the religious beliefs of a man, which are the foundation of his whole moral decision making process, can be ignored in a presidential contest are beyond me. That doesn’t mean anyone is excluded from running, just how can you exclude examining all fundamental thinking processes?
Perhaps we should become totally politically correct and not discriminate on age (an 18 year old or 90 year old would be fine), sexual orientation (transvestite president anyone?), mental background (straight out of a mental ward), legal status (convicted of fraud?). Then we could have a convicted transvestite 18 year old lunatic satanist in office because no one could question their protected status with out having a scarlet ‘B’ for bigot branded on their forehead.
The only status that logically shouldn’t be taken into account are race and sex, because they don’t correlate with the capacity to lead - Condeleeza Rice would have been quite a viable candidate if she had wanted. But calling people bigots for not supporting someone who believes in seer stones and that God lives with his many wives on a planet circling the star Kolob is asking a bit much.
The American ideal is a flip-flopping cultist?
Yikes.
Romney -- a dream come true ping!
Romney isn’t what I want in a presidential , but, unlike Guliani and McCain, if he gets the nomination, I’ll vote for him in the General election.
I don’t like the politics of personal destruction. No one except God Almighty knows what’s in Giuliani’s heart OR MINE FOR THAT MATTER.
You guys are very insulting.
