Despite his detractors on FR, Rudy's got big mo. I am amazed at the vitriol launched against him. I don't think I've ever seen this level of hatred for a Republican on this forum.

Giuliani/Kyl 2008.

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

There was about this level of hatred for Arnold, but that was only a 4-month campaign. So this is gaining momentum as it will last for quite some time. And there are no limits set for what can be said against Rudy Guiliani, and Mitt Romney too in some respects.

Kyl endorsed McCain and just wrote a glowing article about him. Not good qualifications to be Rudy's running mate.

IMO Kyl blew it.

1999: George W. Bush.

By almost the exact same people.

"Despite his detractors on FR, Rudy's got big mo. I am amazed at the vitriol launched against him. I don't think I've ever seen this level of hatred for a Republican on this forum."

Well, having launched 2 Pro-Rudy threads last week that got 700 and 2300 replies respectively, I am a bit pooped.

My tagline says it all nicely.

The anti-Rudy 'Koolaiddrinkers' who have lost all sense of conservative manners and have drunk deep from the Klintonian well of character assassination are basically crying out in frustration because they have been marginalized.

But not by Rudy - by their own blind policies, implemented for too long and resulting in an electorate that has tired of them.

They're like the Captain of the Titanic, who, having received word of icebergs ahead (Nov 2006 - HELLOOO???) keeps sailing into the darkness at full speed ahead.

Well, in order to miss that iceberg dead ahead in 2008 and avoid a national catastrophe, we need to zig-zag a little bit.

You must have missed the march of the Terri-bots. That got pretty nasty.
