On a weekend trip to the University of Arkansas, Rudy Giuliani talked about the possibility of running for president again.
"My concern about 2012 is -- because I'm a Republican -- to make sure that the Republican party fields a candidate that can win.
And if I think that I can help by being a candidate, then that would probably persuade me to do it, but if I can help supporting another candidate, then I'd probably do that."
And there's time to figure that out. The good thing about this election -- as opposed to four years ago -- is that it's happening very slowly, so it gives you a chance to think about it -- gives you a chance to get it down to a smaller period of time so people can focus more on the issues."
In a speech in Florida last month, Giuliani laid out further criteria for a run.
“If all we are faced with are candidates that are too far right so that they can’t win the general election, then that’s when I’d reconsider doing it."
Bachmann is a tax attorney for the fair tax and independents like her.
Strange times indeed; you know it is bad when Trump starts looking good and he is just highballing it for Hillary, his BFF.
I like Bachmann a lot, for sure. She’s a fire-breather, and will definitely capture those amongst us of like mind. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.
All I’m saying is that some of these choices are made way out of our control (i.e., McCain).
As I said for the record, I can’t stand Rudy - he’s a gun-grabber and supports killing babies. That makes him TOTALLY unacceptable in my book.
But faced with that choice, what do we do? Let the Marxist POS win again? That’s unacceptable as well - we’de be lucky to last four years without a civil war tearing the country further apart...
Bad juju either way, brother...
Republicans on the House Administration Committee want to shore up voter registration rules in the wake of a Colorado study that found as many as 5,000 non-citizens in the state took part in last year’s election.
Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), the panel’s chairman, called the study “a disturbing wake-up call” that should cause every state to review its safeguards to prevent illegal voting. “We simply cannot have an electoral system that allows thousands of non-citizens to violate the law and vote in our elections. We must do more to protect the integrity of our electoral processes,” Harper added. Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, a Republican, told the panel that his department’s study identified nearly 12,000 people who were not citizens but were still registered to vote in Colorado.
Of those non-citizen registered voters, nearly 5,000 took part in the 2010 general election in which Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet narrowly defeated Republican John Buck. Colorado conducted the study by comparing the state’s voter registration database with driver’s license records. “We know we have a problem here. We don’t know the size of it,” Gessler said in testimony to Administration’s Elections subcommittee.
He told Harper that Colorado would look to create a registration system that would allow his department to ask that some people provide proof of their citizenship in writing. If individuals did not respond to the request, their registration as voters would be suspended.
Rep. Charles Gonzalez (D-Texas) raised doubts about the reporting, noting that the study itself said it was based on inconclusive data and that it was “impossible to provide precise numbers” on how many people who were registered to vote in the state were not citizens. Gonzalez asked Gessler, a former prosecutor, if he would have pursued a court case on such evidence. Gessler responded that the goal of the study was to expose voter registration issues and pursue administrative avenues to resolve them. “We don’t have a screen for citizenship on the front end when people register to vote,” he said.
===========================================
REFERENCE How many registered to vote using multiple identities? Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which "impoverished immigrants" buy from traveling document brokers for several thousand dollars).
Illegal Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities.
EACH FAKE IDENTITY COLLECTS US GOVT FREEEBIES,
--- AND AS EVERY DESPERATE DEMOCRAT KNOWS ---
EACH ILLEGAL IDENTITY VOTES AND VOTES AND VOTES
BUMP!
We can all gripe on a computer screen about RINO’s this one that one and how to beat Obama but until every person voting has to show ID no one we put in will beat Obama.
Hobson’s choice, it would seem.
But at least Trump is an AMERICAN. We still don’t know what FuBO is...
Again - he’s a SEAL, he’s been a Governor, and he was hell on Earth with a Minigun in “Predator”...
That’s a damn sight better than the fairy we have now.
If all we are faced with are candidates that are too far right so that they can’t win the general election, then that’s when I’d reconsider doing it.”
This masquerades as reason for some Freepers here? Really?
What candidate is NOT to the right of Rudy??
He’d also make an awesome Attorney General. He was tough on crime in NY. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
“...too far right...”
Just exactly what IS “too far right”?
We’ve GOT a “resident” who’s as far left as you can go (short of re-education camps), and that’s somehow OK with a portion of the country???
Anybody looks “too far right” compared to this assclown.
I find it interesting that less than 2 months ago, Rudy said he thought Sarah Palin was “electable” and that she would make a “great President.” Now he’s talking about entering the race. In fact, he even mentioned in that same interview that he might reconsider it...
Rudy and Sarah seem to get along, excepting some major policy disagreements. And Rudy is too far LEFT to get the nomination from the BASE of the Republican Party. But if he DID run, he’d take a lot of wind out of the sails of guys like MittRomney, and Mitch Daniels, and maybe Tim Pawlenty. Perhaps he’d even take a little from Mike Huckabee.
A Rudy candidacy might, in short, help Sarah. And it couldn’t hurt Sarah — or other Conservatives for that matter. Interesting....
Sir Rudolph Giuliani has disqualified himself from holding any office of trust or profit under the United States when he accepted a Title of Nobility from a foreign State.
Yeah - he just includes them among his most lucrative clients, lobbying on their behalf.
