BREAKING: Giuliani Files Statement for Candidacy for President

[joyce11111]

Well Rudy has my vote already

[joyce11111]

Did he also say what principals he stood for?

PROTECTING THE USA

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Not faring well? He picked up six points in the last month, he's within seven points of McCain and he hasn't taken a single step toward declaring yet.

I don't care how liberal Guiliano is.

He's not going to fund national heathcare by raising our taxes. And he sure as hell isn't going to run from Iran.

I believe because of his direct experience during 9-11, he's the right man for the job.

He saved New York twice. Once before and after 9-11.

Last but now least, he's not Hillary Clinton or John McCain.

My husband is also running for President! Sort of. On an extremely small scale!!! :o)

Thank you for your support! :o)

I don't care how liberal Guiliano is.

The state of our party, in a nutshell.

[DCPatriot]

My point is that if he's the candidate, he's getting my vote.

The Democrats are putting up celebritries, not qualified candidates.

We need a rock star candidate and Rudy is the only one out there.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

We need a rock star candidate

While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment not one of them was a Republican. All of his judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments. He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.

Appointments/Nominations to his administration:First, I'll start with two words. Bernie Kerik. We know what a great job Giuliani did at getting Bush to appoint his mobbed up, high school dropout, corrupt business partner Bernie Kerik to head the Department of Homeland Security. Giuliani earlier appointed Kerik to head the New York Police Department And we know now how that all worked out. Kerik narrowly avoided jail, but he was convicted anyway.

Giuliani, in a quid pro quo for the New York Liberal Party's endorsement and support, appointed Liberal Party Chairwoman Fran Reiter as Deputy Mayor. He also appointed Russell Harding, the son of Giuliani's close friend Raymond Harding who also chaired the Liberal Party and was one of Giuliani's closest campaign advisers, to be the City Housing Director. Russell Harding had to leave office upon being arrested by federal law enforcement and charged with conspiracy, fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, receiving child pornography, and possesing child pornography. He was using his official credit card to pay for personal items including a car, 'Sopranos' and 'Sex in the City' DVDs, and a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. He later pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 5 years in prison and forced to repay $367,000 he embezzled from the New York City.

Yes, Rudy Giuliani has a sterling record when it comes to appointing people to positions in his administration. One can only imagine the types of people he'd appoint to his administration and to the Supreme Court if given the opportunity. It would be wise not to give him that opportunity given his record.

Face Recognition means everything I guess. Thats why people need rock stars. I kept looking at Rudi trying to figure out who he reminded me of then I finally remembered.

[cva66snipe]

Rudy meet George.

[DCPatriot]

Yeah...but if Hillary Clinton is the candidate of the Left, then Rudy reminds me of his chap!

[cva66snipe]

It's sad when a person puts their political idol in the same light as being Christ. It explains a lot in what is wrong in this nation.

[DCPatriot]

He's not my political idol, so stop lying.

He may remind some of us of McGovern, but if he's running against Hillary Clinton, he may as well be Jesus, because that's how little I think of Hillary Clinton and her socialist ilk.

[PerConPat]

LOL! The resemblance is remarkable, possibly in a any number of ways. That's why I will support Hunter until things sort themselves out a bit, and that will probably take a year or so. Giuliani has some tall talking to do on guns, state's rights, judges, and borders.

The way you said it how else was it to be taken?

I didn't say this you did.

Yeah...but if Hillary Clinton is the candidate of the Left, then Rudy reminds me of his chap!

If people would simply vote on their actual convictions rather than fer the beloved party sake then indded the ONE you pictured will prevail even over Hillary. Otherwise the nation gets what it asked for.

And George lost to a liar in a landslide election too.

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
