Giuliani's spokesperson did not return calls seeking comment. But Giuliani's sympathies have been no secret. During his administration, gays and lesbians in New York pressed for domestic-partnership rights. Giuliani in turn pushed the city's Democratic-controlled City Council, which had avoided the issue for years, to finally pass legislation providing broad protection for same-sex partners. In 1998, he codified local law by granting all city employees equal benefits for their domestic partners. Giuliani also had gays and lesbians serve openly in his administration, and when he divorced from his wife in 2000, he moved temporarily into the apartment of a wealthy gay couple.

"You can't get much more to the left than Giuliani was on gay issues," says Mercurio.

This entire matter of promoting the candidacy of Giuliani is but a charade to foist onto America the agenda of the liberal, Rockefeller faction of the G.O.P.
Not surprisingly it emanates from New York City - where over two centuries ago the Hamiltonians attempted to subvert and distort the American ideals so magnificently defended by Messrs. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe et al.
