While most of the Democrat and Republican Canidates are playing their political games, Rudy Giuliani is committing to the policies that other Republican canidates and politicians have abandoned. On the heels of McCain accusing us of being "anti-immigration," Trent Lott saying we are controled by talk radio and the president trying to force through the horrible immigration bill that no Americans want, it's time conervatives wake up and support Giuliani:
****
Last week I unveiled my optimistic vision for the future of America. Nothing energizes people more than doing the impossible and my 12 Commitments to the American People are intended to show all Americans what we can accomplish together. As I travel across the country over the coming months, I hope to continue my dialogue with all of you about how my 12 Commitments can bring accountability and results to Washington.
Today, on another great trip to Iowa, I outlined my plan to practice fiscal discipline and cut wasteful government spending.
Bureaucrats in Washington, aided by runaway Congressional spending and bloated appropriations bills full of earmarks for special interests have created a culture of irresponsibility, allowing non-defense spending to increase by 72% over the last decade. Now, more than ever, Washington needs someone with experience and vision to bring strong leadership and restore fiscal discipline.
I have an immediate plan to bring accountability to Washington, cut wasteful government spending and restore fiscal discipline:
Force all Government Agencies to Identify between 5% and 20% in Spending Reductions
End Earmarking and Start Budgeting like a Business
Reduce the Federal Civilian Workforce by 20% through Attrition and Retirement
Propose a Constitutional Amendment Establishing a Line-Item Veto
Use GAPStat to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Federal Agencies and Eliminate Wasteful Spending
When I first became Mayor of New York, most people thought the city was ungovernable, tax-and-spend policies left me saddled with a $2.3 billion dollar deficit, and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers had lost their jobs. Through a combination of fiscal conservatism, economic revitalization, and 23 tax cuts,
I turned the deficit into a multi-billion dollar surplus. With my experience, and with your help, imagine what we can accomplish in Washington.
However, I can't do any of this alone, I need your help. Will you sign my petition to show your support for all my 12 Commitments and my comprehensive plan to bring fiscal discipline to Washington? Together we can move America forward.
Sincerely, Rudy Giuliani
**********

HAAATE! HAAATE!
So tell us what the slander is against Rudy that posters on FR have been making. That's a pretty serious charge. Back it up.
Is Rudy strongly pro-choice? Yes.
Is Rudy pro-gun-control? Yes.
Is Rudy pro-gay-agenda? Yes.
Does Rudy buy into human-caused global warming? Yes.
Does Rudy support CFR? Yes.
Does Rudy support amnesty? Yes.
Did Rudy defy federal law and federal court orders by keeping NYC's Sanctuary city policy in place? Yes.
Did Rudy push Bernie Kerik for the most important anti-terror job in the country? Yes.
I could go on. But that's plenty right there to fight Rudy's campaign tooth and nail.
Truth is slander when it’s used a against a liberal.
“You evil conservatives! You’re telling the truth about my candidate! How dare you!”
Kaus thinks this is code for amnesty, as the only way you could end illegal imigration completely and identify every non-citizen is to support amnesty and put them in the rumored data base. I tend to believe him, as rudy was sympathetic to illegals in deed before running for President.
He got praise for this little scorecard. It simplified what he says he stands for and on the surface it's a nice political move.
read it closly and he never really spells out how he intends to accomplish these promises, and exactly what he promises. he says he'll cut taxes. he doesn't say he won't raise taxes, and he doesn't say who's taxes will be cut. Says he'll reform the tax code, but the tax code is reformed every year they pass a budget or adjust legislation renewing tax cuts. Just what does he mean. ,p> The part that bother me the most is the use of "I". "I" as in HE will "ALLOW" us to have greater access to healthcare. gee, thanks for permission.
I suppose this could be considered nitpicking, but his record gives reasons to warrant suspicion.
For your information, I am not a "Bushbot". Far from it.
but you folks and your Hate-Rudy slander campaign must want Hillary to win
The truth isn't "slander". Rudy is a liberal gun-grabber.
Think wishy-washy, global warming, fake finance reform McCain can win the country? Or the Mass. governor that did little to reform his rabidly socialist state?
IMO McCain is mentally unstable. Romney, like Giuliani, is a liberal gun-grabber, who wants a ban on semi-automatic "assault weapons", and seems to think the Second Amendment protects the right to hunt.
BTW Ever hear of Fred Thompson?
Wake up people.
That's a good one, coming from a supporter of a liberal RINO.
Giuliani vs. Clinton (or any other Dem) is a win-win situation for leftist-liberals, and a guaranteed loss for conservatives.
Rudy has a track record of accomplishing what he sets out to do. I like what he says here. I think Fred will get the nomination anyway.
Did you get lost in time?
If McCain was ever popular here, it was well before my time. Probably back in 2000 before he had his Howie moment and attacked Christians.
Romney barely registers in FR polls.
Whatever enthusiasm and respect I had for Bush died long ago, as it did for most here. BushBots are a rare species these days.
And other then the WOT, which isn’t supposed to be a conservative issue, just what conservative principle is Rudy protecting? Last i knew he was ranked as Liberal as Hillary outside the WOT so basically you want us to cheerlead this guy to office because he has an “R” by his name. yeah, those days are over.
The guy you conveniently leave off, Thompson, I haven’t enough information to say definitively I’d vote for but I’m quite clear on the fact he’s more of a champion for conservative principles then the other three combined.
Thats true....non-BooshBots have major problems with Rudy. Rudster is pretty much a liberal, and weak on border security...judging by his law firm’s work on the TransTexas Corridor
I work for the Federal government, and I for one can say that forcing agencies to cut 5 to 20 percent is definitely a good idea. The government needs a good downsizing.
(If I’m one of the ones to go, so be it. If I’m not needed, I’ll find another way to earn a living. If the next president does fire people, rest assured I won’t be one of the whiners.)
Too bad pro-abort, pro-gay, anti-gun Rooty keeps forgetting to tell voters Plan A is to toss conservatives off the Repub flotilla, and have liberals take complete control of the US government.
Everything Giuliani says is an anagram for "I can't wait to get my hands on US government power." Advancing his and his handler's crass global ambitions is the name of the game. The rest of us are all pawns and peons in Rooty's game. Read on.
The Washington Post recently reported that Giuliani Capital Advisors "was sold for an undisclosed amount as Giuliani was preparing his run for president." The Post article also discloses that Giuliani’s secretive lobbying firm, Giuliani Partners, has made more than $100 million over the last five years and that its clients "are required to sign confidentiality agreements, so they do not comment about the work they receive or how much they are paying for it. Though now running for president, Giuliani refuses to identify his clients, disclose his compensation or reveal any details about Giuliani Partners. He also declined to be interviewed about the firm." The paper provided some details, based "on a review of corporate, government and court records, along with scores of interviews with clients and government officials who have interacted with Giuliani Partners."

ALMATY, Kazakhstan -- LAWFUEL - Law News, US Law Firms -- Bracewell & Giuliani LLP closed three cases in January for a total of US $1.625 billion, acting as international counsel for the offering of corporate debt and solidifying their place as the premier legal authority on Kazakhstani business affairs in the Caspian region. “We continue to thrive and grow in Kazakhstan, mirroring the country itself,” said Greg Vojack, managing partner for the firm's offices in Kazakhstan. “As Kazakhstan transitions into a prosperous free marketplace after the fall of Soviet Russia, its fine-tuned monetary policies are helping the country’s financial sectors grow faster than New York.” ~snip~
Established in 1994, Bracewell's presence in the Republic of Kazakhstan has helped clients capture significant opportunities in the Caspian Region. The firm's energy and finance attorneys provided groundbreaking guidance to create the legal and financial infrastructure in that emerging nation and today actively advise energy and financial companies in the region and the government of Kazakhstan. ~snip~
MORE BACKGROUND Giuliani firm has Venezuela ties

The law firm headlined by presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani does business with a company tied to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush ``the devil.'' Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez. The Bush administration said last year that Venezuela was ''not cooperating fully'' with antiterrorism efforts, stopping one step short of grouping the country with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria and Cuba. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor best known for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, does not personally lobby for Citgo, though he is a senior partner at the firm and shares in its profits.

===============================
Global Rooty can't seem to get the message----a candidate who does not perceive issues through the prism of the red, white, and blue, gets his walking papers. So, let me be the first to tell Rooty----"thanks, but no thanks."
I beleive it’s part of our job to clean up Washington and we can start by electing statesmen instead of politicians!
“I’ll never vote for another Bush, another GOP RINO, another North-Eastern blue-blood. Never!”
B U M P
Good job!!
This is an out-and-out, shameless lie. According to Giuliani's own budget figures, even before 9/11/2001 his administration projected a $2.64 billion budget deficit for fiscal year 2002. Other figures estimate that Giuliani left the city with a $4 billion deficit. Unless this is another one of Giuliani's "depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" statements -- maybe he'll claim that he did indeed turn the deficit into a surplus...you know, before he turned the surplus into a deficit again?

#1 thru 9: First I have to take all your guns.Screw Rooty and the Pink Cadillac he rode in on.
#10: I'll give abortion money to your 12 yo daughter
#11: Gay Pride Week will be a National Holiday#12: I get to Cross-Dress when I meet foreign dignitaries
The terrorists would just die laughing at a cross dressing POTUS. Especially one with a lisp.
[Face it Rudybot, his days are over. He peaked and is on his way down and out.]
What conservative principles is Rudy standing up for?
but you folks and your Hate-Rudy slander campaign must want Hillary to win.
Reiterating Rudy's records and public statements is not slander. Don't like the words or the positions, tell it to Rudy!
Think wishy-washy, global warming, fake finance reform McCain can win the country?
Rudy is right on board with both global warming and CFR. And he's a gun grabber to boot!
ya beat me to it.
I was thinking undersecretary for HUD, or maybe dog catcher, so he could really “clean up” DC.
He can ban ferrets nationwide.
” but you folks and your Hate-Rudy slander campaign must want Hillary to win.”
Yeah thats it.
