Okay, so he says he was swayed because Rudy says he’d appoint strict constructionist Supremes.

I’ve said this before, and here we go again:

1. Why do we trust the word of a philanderer?
2. What does he mean by “strict constructionist”?
3. Has Giuliani said that a “strict constructionist” reading of the Constitution would end abortion?
4. So... Giuliani would appoint judges who think he’s wrong, who disagree with him, who’d end something he has no moral qualms about?
5. So... are we supposed to think that Giuliani thinks Giuliani is wrong? Then why doesn’t he change his position?

This amounts to a wink-wink to me.

You were a bit severe on the excerpting. The point of the editorial would be clearer if you'd included: [Mayor Guiliani] won an endorsement from uber-conservative Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Perry's endorsement brings incredible conservative street cred to the Giuliani campaign nearly 90 days before the first primary vote is cast.

Gov Rick Perry------an amnesty worshipper----endorsing Giuliani should be seen in this light:

Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas

DALLAS (March 1, 2007) Bracewell & Giuliani LLP (Texas-based law firm with global connections) advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties.

The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation. Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1803916/posts

TX governor rapped for paving way for construction of Trans-Texas Corridor

Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor. Dr. Jerome Corsi has been one of the leading voices warning the American public about the consequences of the Trans-Texas Corridor, which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada.

The best-selling author asserts that Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in his state when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project. "Governor Perry has been 100 percent gung-ho in building this road," says Corsi. "The Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, it voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- [and] Governor Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto." Corsi says it is unfortunate that there has been political pressure to get the project started.

"The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor," he says. Corsi believes the same pressure will be applied on other states, like Oklahoma, to go along with the project. He suggests that would mean a loss of more American jobs and could pose a threat to U.S. sovereignty.

Gov Rick Perry does a Dixie Chick---criticizes the US while in a foreign country. Is Perry collaborating with a foreign government to influence the policies of the US government on the issue of amnesty for illegals?

Gov Perry endorsed Giuliani's candidacy-----does candidate Giuliani agree with collaborating with foreign governments to change US policies?

We need rational leaders who understand the dimensions of the problem. Perry and Giuliani are not among this group.

In Mexico for trade talks, Perry blasts immigration policies

MEXICO CITY — Leading a large delegation of Texas executives trying to drum up business in Mexico, Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday criticized the U.S. Congress for failing to pass an immigration bill that would legalize millions of workers. "I don't think this is that difficult an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all the mean rhetoric," Perry said during a break in the third day of meetings with Mexican officials and business executives.

Samuel P. Huntington of Harvard, author of the internationally acclaimed "The Clash of Civilizations," wrote "Mexican immigration is a unique, disturbing and looming challenge to our cultural integrity, our national identity, and potentially to our future as a country. The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages."

"Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexicans and other Latinos have not assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture, forming instead their own political and linguistic enclaves—from Los Angeles to Miami—and rejecting the Anglo-Protestant values that built the American dream. The United States ignores this challenge at its peril."

Rick Perry has a uber brain fart and Zelana Zito thinks its time to shill for Rooty Toot!

These liberals all stick together.

You should ping Salena if you post her articles. Not sure if she stops by here any more though. She often gets attacked for no good reason.

During his soul-searching, Perry said, "I asked the mayor, 'What do I tell my social-conservative friends who are very pro-life?' "

Giuliani's persuasive reply? The direct result of his presidency would be strict constructionists on the U.S. Supreme Court -- justices in the mold of Roberts, Scalia and Alito.

Salena is right to zero in on this. This is the key pitch Rudi is making to neutralize Dobson and others in the pro-life camp.

Rudy Giuliani took a step last week to convince some of the more sensible folks who hold rock-ribbed conservative values to re-examine his candidacy:
