LOL! They don't care. They really don't. I'm telling ya!
Christians aren't going to vote for him. They're already planning on staying home. They say they have no one to vote for this time. That's why the liberal press is pushing the liberal Republicans. It works every time.
Reagan had conservative values but he could also get his message accross. If you can find a likable conservative that has broad based appeal great, but the pissed off angry guy just wont fly. It never has.
My gut tells me that Rudy is a conservative Manchurian Candidate.
I think you underestimate him....I don't know who I'm voting for....but Rudy will garner votes from Independents and many more moderates which really is most of the country, center left or center right.....
I'm a Christian and so is my wife and my whole family on both sides and we will vote Rudy over Hillary all day long.
"Giuliani said he believes global warming is occurring but is not sure how much is caused by humans, and suggested the U.S. should look at expanding its use of nuclear power and other alternative energy sources." - Newsmax
Oh, the irony.
We're using the ACTUAL transcript of what Giuliani said. You, on the other hand, picked and chose one single paraphrase quote from Newsmax to encourage FReepers to vote for Rudy. Now, you're busted.
Now he's warm and fuzzy?
My husband just doesn't like him. He said he wouldn't vote for him, period. He says "It's something about the way he looks. I wouldn't trust him for a NY minute."
Christians aren't going to vote for him. They're already planning on staying home
"I do. I do believe there's global warming. Yes. And...and I...I think there are...I'm not a scientist all I can do is look at the reports. I think the last one said that...uh...ummm...fir-fir-first of all there's definitely global warming as far as I can tell. I guess the big question has always been how much is it, how much of it is happening because of just natural climate changes and progressions and how much is happening because of human intervention - carbon in particular - and the overwhelming majority of the scientists believe that there's significant human cause that's making it more difficult, making it worse."
~~~ Rudy Giuliani Press Conference, Silicon Valley, Feb 12, 2007
So Rudy believes the scientific experts, many who are leftwing environmental wackos, that there is "significant human cause" to global warming.
Significant means substantial.
Scientists have been telling us for the last 50-100 years, the Earth has been going through a period of warming since the end of the last ice age. The last ice age ended 10,000-30,000 years ago, depending upon who is talking on the subject matter. Algore is an extremist on Global Warming. Algore thinks humans have had a major impact on the Earth`s temperature rising.
Giuliani is coming down somewhere closer to liberals like Algore and A.Schwarzy, then to folks like Rush Limbaugh and climate expert Bill Gray, meteorology professor emeritus at Colorado State. Looks like Rudy is solidly with the liberals, AGAIN!
Congress still has power you know!
ROFLMAO!! Busted? Not quite!
He's right about the nukes. As far as how much is due to human's, that's an easy calculation to determine the limits, and it doesn't require computer modeling. The computer models, must be bounded by those limits. Any greehouse gas generated by burning stuff, is a component of the total. It's a simple sum, so a percentage can be obtained. Even so, the total energy change due to the effect man has in that sum, is only ~0.35% in 2060. That's insignificant. It just indicates nukes out to be used abundantly.
I thought K.C. Jones played for the Celtics?
>> I wonder if this will satisfy those asking, "Where's the beef?"
The beef-seekers have good reason to ask that question. Giuliani is making a serious effort to quell the discontent and he's doing so because he realizes the importance of reconciling his liberal positions with those of the Conservative base.
It would be nice to see the pro Rudy crowd contribute something other than the ongoing antagonism especially when the issues are absolute and fundamental to the base of the Republican party.
And that makes sense to me. I don't like to be pressured either. So I'm suggesting that those who are for Rudy not try to pressure others or make them feel guilty - like saying that not voting for Rudy is voting to elect Hillary. Stuff like that. Just let them be. Let them rant(s).
It's way early yet. No one knows who the nominee will be. I'd like to see people get enthused about who they support and be persuasive - but not rude or controlling or disrespectful.
The Rudy-Talking Points are out. Its damage control time!
These people are employing Rudy`s own style of double talk in a futile attempt to spin his remarks, that are obviously more in line and in agreement with the Global Warming kooks, then climate experts like Bill Gray.
I live it. We go to various churches within the county. We know a lot of people out of state as well. Christians just aren't buying the idea that Rudy is a saint from NYC. When I ask them how they feel about Rudy, they just roll their eyes and ask if I'm kidding.
Think about it. Why would a Christian vote for a social liberal? Wouldn't that be a little self defeating?
