Today's GOP has become nothing other than "Whatever it takes to beat Hillary" instead of a principled, truly conservative party.

Unfortunately, you are correct. That is why I am so disgusted to the point I am beginning to "tune out".

We could really win this if we pick the right candidate. I myself will back no one who is for illegal immigration, the nanny state, taking away gun rights, and supports abortion.

So far the media and GOP elites have been pushing skunks.

If you ask me, Rudy Giuliani gets too much credit for his post-9/11 leadership. Sure, he was good, but he wasn't that good. People wanted to rally behind him, and he did not fritter that away completely.

But the person who really stepped up was President Bush. It was President Bush who stood on top of that pile of debris next to that firefighter and rallied the nation.

But people can't give credit to President Bush, so the credit goes to Rudy.

**** CONTACT THE RNC: Demand the RNC kick Rudy out at once to forestall a Repub debacle across the nation. ****

When they they contact me for money that's basically what I tell them :-)

.......Rudy Giuliani gets too much credit for his post-9/11 leadership............

Rudy Giuliani should get credit for 9/11....period.

The WTC had already been bombed couple years before. Yet Turdiani placed a prime target in the WRS---the city's ERT center.

Giuliani was porking his mistress in the months before 9/11 while the NYPD looked on.

Looks like the turd missed crucial warnings----probably getting it on in Jooty's LI condo when warnings were given.

I hope the NYPD exposes this fraud but good.

Ironic that Giuliani has a partnership in the Diamonds Trade.

Ironic someone else endorsed him that also has ties to Diamond trading...

Giuliani's Profitable Partnership
WSJ | December 1, 2007 | By MARY JACOBY and ANDREW MORSE
Posted on 11/30/2007 7:55:34 PM PST by Fred A partnership

Rudy Giuliani forged with a wealthy diamond-trading family from Israel helped his effort to expand his fledgling consulting business in Japan, and generated more than $600,000 in speaking fees for the Republican presidential candidate.

The former New York mayor's previously undisclosed relationship with the Sage Capital Growth -- a medium-size private equity firm associated with the diamond-trading Steinmetz family of Israel -- shows how money came his way after he earned international acclaim leading the city through the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It offers a peek at Mr. Giuliani's closely held five-year-old consulting business, New York-based Giuliani Partners LLC, whose clients he has declined to identify. In addition to large speaking fees that went directly to Mr. Giuliani, the Sage relationship helped his firm expand into a foreign market where he and his team of ex-New York City criminal justice, municipal and fire department officials lacked experience.

They went beyond their core security expertise to work with companies in sectors ranging from condominiums to alternative energy -- though their promises to help Japanese companies to expand sometimes fell flat. Mr. Giuliani's personal contributions appear largely to have been to make speeches in Tokyo and elsewhere to promote his partnership with Sage, and to lend his celebrity status to conferences. Two of the Japanese companies Sage invested in prominently posted photos of the former mayor posing with their executives.

"At the beginning, there was some hope this would lead to something bigger, but that just didn't materialize," said Nobuyuki Omori, an investor relations manager at Digital Garage Inc., an Internet firm the Sage-Giuliani partnership had vowed to help expand. At one point, Mr. Giuliani was slated to head a Sage-funded philanthropy alongside major business leaders in the U.S. and Japan, though that.........(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...

NOTE: FReepers calcowgirl and Calpernia also have good research on this.

“It doesn’t sit well,” Mr. Biniecki said. “And then you wonder what else there is.”

Well, since you asked, Mr. Biniecki....

TPM Shag Fund Timeline (IRS MEMO: did Judy declare Rudy's security gifts as income?)

This security stuff would seem to be the least of it.

Pat Robertson has had ties to African dictators (look up Charles Taylor some time) and diamond mafiosi for some time.

Still admire his call for Chavez's assasination.

I hope Biniecki caught Turdiani on MTP-—he’d have seen a smirking depraved dodger trying to defend the indefensible.

Throughout the MTP interview, Rooty laughed uncontrollably, smirked, and giggled at compelling questions——his irrational answers were incomprehensible.

Russert was disgusted and even reprimanded Rooty ——”hey these are serious questions.”

THE defining moment was when Tim Russert dragged out the “gotcha pic” of grinning Jooty walking her dog with a NYPD cop in the bgrnd.

Me-First Rooty’s past and personal behavior is self-indulgent, irrational and unpredictable——he worships at the Church of Whatever Works For Me.

Well, I think it's a hoot that Rudy and Hillie at least one big sleazeball in common.

Who'd'a thunk it?

If you examine Rooty’s campaign strategies-—he was using the Clinton Playbook page by page.

It was downright eerie watching it unfold.

NOTE: Nathan and Giuliani are past the three year limit on additional assessments for income tax but there is no limit if the IRS suspects fraud and tax evasion.

I just want to know what Rudy had to say when Alan Hevesi was criminally charged.

Just called the RNC and they took the message and said Thank you for the call.

I plan to remain a Giuliani supporter and refuse to get offended by the naysayers. Considering the immeasurable improvement of the quality of life bestowed upon New Yorkers during the leadership of Mayor Giuliani, I would think grateful New Yorkers would refuse to dwell on what, in comparison, amounts to nothing more than petty criticism. Whatever resources were spent on tending to him and his loved one’s personal needs, seems more like money well spent to me. I refuse to listen to the complaints of those who would appear bent on the destruction of the United States of America and our Constitution.

Alrighty then. How about a Giuliani-Hunter ticket in 2008?

Come to think of it, this combination appeals to me more than any other.

Then you might as well endorse a Hunter-Clinton ticket because Giuliani is as much a socialist as Clinton.
