a series of interviews with voters in New Hampshire and Iowa suggests the public has a high tolerance for his marital shenanigans.

When a large segment of the voting public --Democrat and Republican alike, have engaged in the same marital shenanigans that Rudy has, it is not surprising that they are tolerant.

[counterpunch]

This is true, and it is why Fred Thompson needs to challenge Rudy on terrorism. He needs to present his expert credentials on terrorism, through his chairmanship of the International Security Advisory Board at the State Department.

He needs to say Rudy lacks the knowledge to deal with terrorism, that there is a lot more to know about terrorism than what you could learn on 9/11, and the terrorists have a much more complex agenda than simply not loving New York.

Even if Fred takes some hits from such an exchange, it will still place him as a viable alternative to Rudy for Security Moms, something that so far does not exist in the race.

Fred has a lot of experience he could be using to sell his qualification for the job, but he isn’t. He needs to do more than just say “I’ve been conservative longer than you have.”

I see the NY Daily News is in full Rudy-Pimp mode today!

[trisham]

We can’t rely on this issue to derail Giuliani. It can be part of the overall case against his candidacy, but it won’t stand alone.

So it is ok to steal money from public funds for inappropriate personal use and hide the evidence in obscure budgets?

[The Wizard]

It amazes me how folks here at Freerepublic just don’t get it with Rudy....he is the man, he is the right guy at the right time and everyone here will be singing his praises 6 months after he is President, I guarentee it, if we should be so blessed that he wins.

"I think everything was done quite appropriately."

That is, apart from the fact that he and Judith Nathan were having an affair while he was stil married to someone else. But I'm nitpicking.

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment only two were Republican.

All of his other judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.

He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

“And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts.”
Rudolph Giuliani

At the first Republican debate in May, Giuliani was alone among the GOP candidates in offering a less-than-robust affirmation when asked whether it would be a good day if the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade ruling.

"It would be OK," Giuliani said. "It would be OK to repeal it."

But, he added: "It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent" and kept the law intact.

"He's not the first President to have affairs, and, hell's bells, he won't be the last."

How ironic. Billyboy's squalid debauches inoculate Rudy against the scandal bug, just in time to run against Mrs. Billyboy, who enabled and tried to cover them all up.

[no dems]

a series of interviews with voters in New Hampshire and Iowa suggests the public has a high tolerance for his marital shenanigans.

Rudy Julie Annie's actions go beyond the despicable act of committing adultery; they are significant of a man who has no governing moral authority and no regard for the pain he causes others in order to get his way and his self gratification.

If it comes down between him and Hillary, I'm definitely going "Third Party" and I don't care if it does put the Beast in the White House. She's no more of an immoral slut than he; probably less so.

BTW, I assume his kids are still not supporting him for POTUS since they still are not speaking to him and have nothing to do with the low-life scum bag.
