[what's up]

Giuliani is far more conservative than Lieberman.

You won't find Joe proposing many tax cuts.

Here's a capsule summary on some of Rudy Giuliani's positions, conservative and liberal:

He's as conservative as anyone out there on national defense and the WOT. He has a reputation of being tough on crime from his days as a prosecutor and mayor.

He was not a big advocate of tax cutting as mayor. Most of the modest NYC tax cuts during his mayoral regime came (believe it or not) from the Pataki administration in New York State. He was never known as a big advocate of supply-side economics.

He is considered a liberal on abortion and gun control, and has a reputation of being friendly with gay advocacy groups. However, though he won't advocate overturn of Roe v. Wade, he does not encourage abortion and would probably agree to restictions. He believes in state and local gun control policy determinations. On gay issues, he does not go so far as to endorse "gay marriage."

He's as conservative as anyone out there on national defense and the WOT.

Yes, that is the SINGLE issue he is conservative on. I'm not a single-issue voter.

As far as taxes, Giuliani has refused to take a no new taxes pledge.

His administration left New York with the second highest debt in the nation during his last term in office.

His a radical liberal on social issues, gun control, illegal immigration and global warming.

Being conservative on one issue doesn't make any candidate a conservative. It just makes them not a ideologically-pure liberal.

Just in case you may misunderstand, I am not supporting Giuliani for the GOP presidential nomination. However, should he win that nomination, I would much prefer him to any 'Rat in the general election.

I think many here feel that way.

Do you really think the slimes care? Do you think anyone is going to care about their hypocrisy? Best thing would be to pay full price and call them out. Asking for a bargain gives a way out for them.

I disagree here. Him asking for the same rate as Moveon.org forces the NYT's hand to either break election law by refusing it, or to demonstrate that even they cannot disregard election law.

Tell me, is there anyone left in the US that has not figured out the NYT is partisan?

Yes. My mom. My in-laws. Lots of legacy Northeast liberals who still believe that the NYT is the bastion of journalistic fairness, integrity and objectivity.

What’s a “hate Hillary fetishist”? This is a serious question, as I’ve been pulled away from the web the past couple of weeks, and I must have missed something. Thanks.
