Gay marriage decisions shows 'leadership,' Rudy Giuliani says of Andrew Cuomo
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the only potential 2012 candidate who would be legal to perform same-sex marriages under the New York law that passed last week, walked a delicate line today in his first public comments on the topic, per the Daily News politics blog:
"My thoughts are that I'm glad that people who felt discriminated against have sort of had that burden of discrimination lifted. I signed the first civil-union, domestic partnership bill I think in the country. Maybe it was the second. And I still take a lot of criticism for that," said 2008 GOP presidential hopeful Giuliani at Joe Torre's Safe at Home Foundation golf outing at Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor.
"I still state that marriage is being defined between a man and a woman, but I can truly understand what people are striving for. And as someone who signed civil unions and domestic partnerships, that's probably my preference," Giuliani said, according to our Peter Botte.
"But I was very glad to see people relieved of this burden of discrimination, which is a terrible thing to feel...
"And I think Gov. Cuomo deserves a lot of credit. Even if you don't agree with the result, it showed a lot of leadership to execute the result. For the first time in a long time, we're seeing leadership at the gubernatorial level in New York, including expenses and a lot of systematic control of government and I think that's a good sign for a lot of other things the governor can do."
Giuliani explicitly voiced his feelings about marriage as "between a man and a woman" in his 2008 presidential run, when he was courting conservative activists.

Gay marriage decisions shows ‘leadership,’ Rudy Giuliani says of Andrew Cuomo
That’s leadership????????????????????????????????????????????
REAL leadership would have been for Gov. Cuomo to stand against the rich, well-funded people who want to re-define (and ultimately destroy) marriage.
It was easier for Gov. Cuomo to be led around by the non-thinking people who favorite counterfeit marriage.
Who knew there was still room in Giuliani’s mouth to put yet another foot in it?
I have come full to the side of people who think that people like Giuliani are just as dangerous, if not more so than someone like Schumer, Pelosi or even Obama.
The knife from those three would be into the front of the chest, and it would be faster without the cover of “bipartisan conservative support”
So much for Juliani as a viable candidate for anything.

He needs to go church, which he doesn’t.......
FURG!!!
Rudy’
s statement didn’t sound a very delicate line to me. He endorsed Cuomo and the Homo’s.
Rudy is toast as far as this election goes.
One thing [politicians should remember about the Homo vote.
“There aint enough of them to elect your dumb ass”.
Nuke it from orbit, just to be sure.

After his 09/11 activities, this guy should have retired never to be heard from again. Only bad will come of it Rudy. Put a sock in it.
Real leadership would be to do the right thing, and not cave to whatever the latest craze is. With today’s instant online communications, politicians too quickly jump to whatever direction the wind seems to be blowing without thinking things through. Teaching children homosexual perversion is a viable lifestyle is nothing short of child abuse.
Which is EXACTLY why Rudy did so poorly in the last election he was in....and why he WON’T do well in this one, should he decide to try.
