Bologna.

Life is the most important right of every age, and Rudy vaguely gets it.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be trumpeting this nonsense about this war being the defining issue...blah, blah, blah.

It’s important because they want to take our LIFE. Without it, of course, we’re dead. :>) Dead men don’t tell tells...nor vote, nor buy homes, nor contribute to society...

Why is blowing up the WTC different than killing 40 million babies since Roe?

“Is he pro-choice? Is he pro-gay? Who cares?”

Idiot. Rudy’s nomination would destroy the GOP.
It would be a lose/lose for conservatives on Nov 2008.

Consider immigration:

“I believe the anti-immigration movement in America is one of our most serious public problems.” — Rudy Giuliani, Oct. 10, 1996.

Guliani supported the Bush position on immigration. Guliani will be more liberal on immigration than Romney and Thompson and certainly the real hawks like Hunter and tancredo.

HOW CAN RUDY BE GOOD FOR NATIONAL SECURITY WHEN HE’S WEAK ON ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAW IN THE CITIES?

The War On Terror? What’s that got to do with Paris Hilton?

[Condor 63]

As we say here in Alabama, that was a pretty high falutin' way of saying "just another weasel."

I dont see why this has a barf alert....odds are Rudy is going to win the nomination

I haven’t made my mind up on whom I am supporting. None of these candidates thrill me but I for the life of me cannot figure out why FR has decided to throw Rudy under the bus at this juncture. If the WOT is the most important issue in 2008, then Rudy is defintiely worthy of consideration.

[finnman69]

I may be one of the only Freepers left who will publicly admit to being a Rudy supporter. Obviously I think its foolish to discount a candidate who is at the top of the polls. 2008 is going to be about the WOT, and frankly its my top issue. Social issues are going to be small potatoes.

That sounds like a good reason for a barf alert. :)

Giuliani is one of the weakest GOP candidates on Islamofascism. His “solution” is to take us back to 90s police tactics. His three talking points are PATRIOT Act, surveillance, interrogation. He can redefine these as “being on the offense” all he likes, but the reality is that these are defensive tactics primarily designed to fight terrorism here, rather than overseas.

Of course, he doesn’t have a clue about how to fight overseas, because he has absolutely zero foreign policy experience. Here’s Mark Steyn on Giuliani and the GWOT: “The one I find actually rather disappointing is Giuliani . . . when you listen to him speak, what worries me is that he has a sort of airport security approach to the war. And he’s not actually very good when he’s talking about the big foreign policy aspects of it and the big geopolitical thing. He’s very good if you want to hunker down and have a security checkpoint. He’s the guy who’d be good for manning that checkpoint.”

The GWOT and the Constitution are my top issues — that’s why I oppose Giuliani. He’s unqualified on both counts.
