LET ME REPEAT... HE IS NO DIFFERENT!

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani led off with his strongest card, his terrorism-fighting credentials, before touching on healthcare, immigration and energy policy in a speech to a welcoming crowd Saturday.
"Sept. 11, 2001, taught me — and I believe it taught a lot of people, including President Bush — that we have to remain on offense," Giuliani said. "That means that we have to use our military. We can't show weakness."
Giuliani seemed to hit all the right notes Saturday, getting applause when he criticized Democrats' stance on healthcare and advocated vouchers for schools.
On immigration, he told reporters he doesn't support amnesty for illegal immigrants, but he could support a guest worker program if there were adequate border security and tamper-proof ID cards. He said that even if illegal immigrants "can demonstrate that they are lawful, that they are paying taxes [and] that they'll pay penalties," they still shouldn't be put ahead of people who go through legal channels.
"And citizenship here, if it's earned, should be premised on being able to read and write English and understand American history, so we restore assimilation to the process of immigration," he said.
"Nothing will unite the Republicans more than a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," Curry said.

None of the Rudy fans cares to admit the truth of post # 85.
My daughter was at the rally last night at his table. Believe me this guy is a keeper....
Rudy is no Reagan. Reagan was a conservative and his core beliefs were the thing that drew in the voters that contributed to landslides.
His personal life was not perfect, but he did not champion liberal causes, embrace homosexuality, abortion and fight to take away arms.
All of these things Rudy has done. He cannot get away from it because it is on the record.
His views on social issues are a danger to our future. His views advance liberal causes.
He is not a conservative and has never claimed to be in the past. His candidacy will lose more voters than he could ever pick up.
Take your blinders off and look at the whole package.
So far as I can tell, your referenced post was a copy of some news article or opinion from somewhere. I seem to remember reading it before.
But you posted no identifying information, so I can't tell for certain if it is someone else's work or your own.
So not only could that be spam, and thread hijacking, it could also be plagerism.
Of course, if it is your own words, I apologize. It just looks exactly like an article I read earlier.
That's not really spamming, but posting entire comments repeatedly that don't directly relate to the topic of a thread would be spamming.
I've started identifying them on other threads, usually lambasting people for socially conservative opinions.
I hope it's OK to discuss the information in the article.
What has Rudy done to make "terrorism-fighting" one of his strongest cards?
Sure, he threw Arafat out of a theater once, but that hardly qualifies as fighting terrorism.
What has Rudy done to fight terrorism? We know what he did after terrorists attacked his city for the 2nd time. He reacted well to a terrorist attack, but he did nothing to fight the terrorists.
You are repeating Democrat talking points -- "attack Rudy on his 9-11 leadership".
I don't believe I said they were RINOs. I said earlier that all Republcans were punished for their behavior. They governed like RINOs. Rudy behaves and governs like a true RINO, because he is. He may be more lib than some RINOs.
Fine. You keep him...
Can you offer me any reason why I should believe that Mr. Giuliani would be any less likely to attack the Second Amendment than would be Mrs. Clinton? From what I can tell, Giuliani's record is worse.
And still not one Rudy fan will admit to the truth.
If the party is indeed split down the middle, then shouldn't the two parties' candidates be roughly equidistant from the center (and on opposite sides thereof)?
Is there anyone left in Newport Beach that speaks ENGLISH?
That's your response?
That's the best you can come up with?
You can't refute it so you make a joke.
You prove my point. Thank you.
