There's one vote that Rudy Giuliani definitely can't count on in his 2008 presidential bid: his own daughter's. According to Caroline Giuliani's Facebook profile, she's supporting Barack Obama..........Rudy and his two children, have a rocky relationship. After his third wedding, Giuliani stopped attending Caroline's high-school events..... he went to her graduation (after declaring his candidacy for president), and left without speaking to her and did not join in the family celebration, according to news reports.

For those of you that say divorce is wrong. You were not married to my EX!

Did you bring your mistress into the house with your wife and children like Giuliani did?

Divorce is hard, having an unethical parent is even harder.

The daughter of a liberal supports a liberal??

Shocking.

[ASA Vet]

Of course he can win, but first he’d have to announce he’s switching to his natural party. Doing so would give him a good shot at taking the DemoncRAT nomination away from Hillary or OsamaBomba

Apparently Rudi daughter is an imbecile ...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

As usual, the rooty supporters want to blame the lack of judgement here on the ex-wife, instead of on rudi where it belongs. He has a history of infidelity and of parading his whores around, even using taxpayer money in the process.

People do change sometimes, and divorce is sometimes the best decision, but the children deserve better than to be thrown away with the exwife. Rooty ditched the kids in favor of the newest wife, it is as simple as that.

OMG that sad for father realize dear ole daughter support your rival LOL!

Good post. No doubt their marriage was long over before Judith. She was not a supportive wife. what can one expect from a liberal and, no doubt, her children are, also. She placed the wedge between them and their father - that’s all too easy to observe. It’s done all the time by the vindictive spouse.

[NeoCaveman]

Now that is funny.

Thanks

“For many on FR, it seems sticking by a loathsome spouse is a virtue. If that’s not mental illness, I don’t know what is.”

WTF does that have to do with his children??

Poor decisions should NEVER involve the kids.

Rudy has made MANY a poor decision and that alone should disqualify him from the nomination. (other than the fact he’s a baby-killin, gun confiscating, adulterous thug)

"a Roman Catholic Church annulment of the Giuliani-Peruggi marriage was granted at the end of 1983[112], according to Giuliani, because he discovered after 14 years of marriage that he and his wife were second cousins,[116] rather than third cousins"

How can someone be the front runner for President when marrying a 3rd cousin is OK but a second cousin is not. Anyway you look at it, Giuliani does not have the moral character to be President. p.s. neither did Clinton.

Donna Hanover was a loathsome woman who embarrassed Rudy often during his tenure as mayor.

Let's see. That is Rudy on the left, and....Rudy on the right. Exactly who was embarrassing who?

[Calpernia]

Well, at least he isn't prettier her.

[OKIEDOC]

What a pitiful work art this gal must be.

Not only does she hate her dad but also is to damn stoopid or vindictive to vote.

Barracks Osama Obama hasn’t got the gumption to run the country of Haiti much less the USA.

[CaptainK]

If Hanover had any sense of pride she would have moved out of Gracie Mansion when she believed her husband was screwing around with his assistant, long before Judith stepped into the picture.

Since money wasn’t the reason perhaps Hanover enjoyed playing the victim/doormat or maybe she just really loved living in Gracie Mansion.

She should have a talk with Hillary.

[tirednvirginia]

She’s supporting Obama? Now that says a lot about her judgement, don’t you think?

If you think that’s proof you shouldn’t support Guiliani does it also mean it proof you should support Obama?

Maybe she is a mixed up kid.

[Bon mots]

She is probably the product of a loathsome ex-wife who managed to turn the children against their father - while he was forced to support both her lazy a$$ and the little ingrates.

But when they need money or a favor, they will come running to Rudy. Don’t you worry.

[Clemenza]

Rudy REALLY knows how to pick ‘em! Only his first wife seemed relatively normal. Donna and Judy have “succubus” written all over them.
