“moderates”
The moderates should love Rootie, since he’s one of them!
That was your first mistake. Anyone who has held life long support for abortion on demand, has severe psychological problems.
While I disagree with him on almost all issues, I have no interest in Rudy nor will I ever "put it aside", nor will I ever vote for him. He is liberal to the core.
I don’t know about Rudy but “batsh*t insane” is missing something.
When they call themselves “moderates” that usually means they’re wayyyyyyyyyyyy to the left.
I don’t see the plan anywhere, just the rant against it, but I have to tell you, I STRONGLY agree with more anti-missile systems. Strongly. Very strongly.
Funny, the more I read of the article the more it pushed me in the pro-Giuliani camp. Massively increase defense spending, more subs and anti-missile defense...great! Allying more closely with Israel and opposing a Palestinian state...wonderful! Frankly, the only flaw I can find with Giuliani is that he’s not as pro-firearms rights as I’d like, but you can’t have everything. As President Reagan said, hat person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally; NOT a 20 percent traitor.
In the absence of Herself, the Cold and Joyless, on the ballot of the general election, Rudy could put together a 60% coalition in Manhattan, maybe, but his chances slim down considerably elsewhere. Those who would prefer Herself are even more “batsh*t insane”, though they march to a different drummer.
Oh, Rudy could still pull out a majority, or at least a respectable plurality, among the real Americans, but to the “moderates”, yeah, he might appear to be “batsh*t insane”.
Yep Rooty wants to sell them stuff - lots of stuff. He says that will win them over. I guess he thinks they're like the Apache or Arapaho...
'White man good. He sell us blankets, beads and whiskey. We put guns down now. No more fight. White man friend'.
"Batshit insane." -- that's a keeper 
We need lots more spending on missile defense systems,
including stuff like this:

Yeah. Ruddy's got problems. But if he can lead us to victory over the Islamic Swine, maybe we should put up with him for a few years? I'll likely hold my nose and support whichever Republican gets the nomination, but I'm not sure there's any who understands the enemy quite like Giuliani (and one does have to admire how he cleaned up the Dinkens Disaster in NYC).

Giuliani isn’t the answer.
We need to support a conservative for POTUS, not a liberal.
No thanks.
Save your breath. No one here is going to change their mind on Rudy. I happen to like him and will probably be voting for him. There is no such thing as a perfect candidate, which is what I feel many are looking for. What I am looking for is the candidate who is right for the times we live in. For some, like me, that’s Rudy. For others it may be someone else.
So let me understand. You would rather see Ran Paul, who hasn't a clue about the Islamic Threat, and who hasn't a chance of winning in November, get the nomination just because you (and I) are philosophically closer to him than to Giuliani?
ML/NJ
Ya know...I just can’t get excited about a guy that dresses up in womens’ clothes being our President. Something wrong with that picture.
Didn't mention Ron Paul. You did. This is what you need to understand.
Rooty`s got two huge strikes against him before we even get to discussing his political liberalism. He's an opportunist and an authoritarian. And Giuliani has no special skills when it comes to terrorism or security matters. He was a liberal mayor of liberal NYC on 9-11-2001. Today he exploits the tragic events of 9-11 as he runs for POTUS, on a lying liberal-RINO agenda.
Obviously, Rooty`s got you hoodwinked.
Uh, you might want to reverse those percentages there...Rudy is more liberal than some Democrats.
