My favorites are the ones that make up kindergardenish nick names for candidates they don't like, or put up stupid pictures showing one particular candidate in drag - thus implying he must be gay. Maybe they are all afraid that if they discuss the pros and cons of each individual candidate like adults would they will get cooties.
I get better responses from my pre teen nieces and nephews than I do on Free Republic sometimes.

To me, such pictures do not imply that Giuliani must be gay. And they are indeed stupid photos. But there would be no stupid photos if the mayor had not dressed as a woman and gone out into the public to be photographed in the first place.
The presidency is a serious job, and the office requires a certain amount of decorum on its occupant's part to gain respect. The videos of Clinton, wearing his shades and playing the sax, demean the office, IMO. But the pics of Rudy in drag are even more demeaning, and they can be seen by people from all around the world.
Consider this: Which of these two photos depicts presidential material?
And which of the two persons depicted is more likely to be taken seriously by an Islamic terrorist?
These pictures of Rudy in drag make us the laughing stock around the globe for even considering such a person for our highest elected office.
See the problem you are having is context.
When you are talking to your pre teen nieces you expect pre teen answers and you know they are pre teens and form your questions with that in mind so everything fits in that context so to speak..
The same would apply here.
Free Republic is a Conservative Forum.
By supporting Rudy and expecting him to get respect, you are out of Context.
