Didn’t we put this to rest in during the last presidential election?
He’s another NY RINO.
RINOs can be harder to get rid of than vampires and werewolves.
I would hope this place doesn’t become LGF in that regard.
It seems that the absolutely Rudy treatment is for all but one person that may not even be running.
Director of Homeland Security is the perfect job for Rudy.
He hates these terrorist bastards and has vast experience dealing with law enforcement and how to reduce crime.
President - NO
I would have a very difficult time voting for Palin if she selected a pro-abortion veep.
Yeah agreed. I like Pence, Daniels, Jindal. But they diss them here and we are not even in the primaries full swing—go figure.
I just truly wish West would run. He would tell the U.N. to go pound sand.
He is great on Budget, lousy on Social Issues, and ignoring Social issues has brought us where we are.
America is great, because America is good, if she ceases to be good, she will cease being great. Misquote I think, but close enough.
No, but it certainly doesn't make a difference if the RINO's that sold you out in the Lame Duck session, stay in power either. Good vs Evil, you choose, the less evil approach is what got us here.
Choose this day Whom you will serve, as for me and my house........
I would rate all four of them well to the right of Rudy. None are gun-grabbing, pro-gay rights, abortion-loving "Catholics", although in Romney's case he used to be. Rudy was the most liberal Republican seeking the 2008 presidential nomination, and probably will be again.
Christie is 100% pro-life (with a track record of actually DOING something about it and shutting down Planned Parenthood in NJ), pro-traditional marriage (and has pledged to veto any gay marriage legislation), pro-freedom of religious expression (and he is personally a very devout Catholic who started his inageration day with a Mass), pro-school vouchers and educational choice, and anti-enthusenia.
No, he's not perfect on social issues, but the idea that he's a "social liberal" is a myth started by bitter Lonegan supporters. Christie is conservative on roughly 80% of the social issues out there. When they're confronted with this and asked to provide proof of all his "social liberal" policies, they get off topic and start talking about windmill taxes and other stuff that has nothing to do with social issues. If he was a "social liberal", he'd be marching in gay pride parades and handing out condoms in public schools.
He's not as conservative as me on social issues, but he's well to the right of a social liberal like Mark Mark or Barney Frank.
Thanks for clearing that up re: Christie. He is a worthy candidate don’t let anyone diss him.
Whoever makes it out of the primary will have my vote, I can't stand Obama one bit.
I'm from upstate NY with relatives in the city and he was nothing but great for NYC. If you can clean up that place, you can clean up Washington.
And those pictures of him in drag were a big joke, you do know that folks, right? Did you see him on SNL? He was funny and a good sport, I taped it and occasionally still watch it when I want a good laugh.
He ran a horrible campaign last time around for sure, but if he can win in NYC, he can win the state, probably NJ (Christie is a good friend of his) and maybe a few other blue states. I don't think Palin, Gingrich, Romney, et al can pick off any blue states.
I want Obama gone. I don't think Giuliani will push any left wing social issues as President of the U.S., he'll know who got him there. He won't be in NYC anymore.
Hey Dirtboy...at this point economic conservatives, moderates and independents may likely disregard Rudy’s abortion and gay rights background...they tend to view him more as a “law and order” candidate as opposed to a “liberal Republican” candidate...also, the Left absolutely positive HATES Rudy with a passion, which gives him “Republican” credibility...regardless, the primary system is not set up to give Rudy a chance in the Republican race, so it’s probably a moot point, so as I indicated, right now this is a Romney/Palin race at this point in time...Merry Christmas ! ...magritte
I guess we should just ignore all of the lobbying for tighter federal gun laws he did over the years.
Not.
Rudy is an authoritarian to the bone and belongs nowhere near the White House.
Giuliani and Palin would be a great ticket.
I will second that. (unlesss she picks him for another post .....AG, SS)
Another great idea.
” Someone should also ask Rudy what happened to the $4 million from the “911 Foundation” he set-up and put his mistress (his present wife) in charge of. “
That oughta be a hoot ;-)
” Only stupid conservatives rally to vote for liberal statists. “
If the Repubs run another RINO, we will likely get Obama for 4 more years
LOL!!
