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.

Come on now...surely you can come up with something better than. I know you can! Give it another shot... i'll wait. :)
YOU DO need to look harder
A lot of conservatives do not like and will not vote for a liberal Rudy. They are not going to be silent to please Rudybots.
Since they are pro-life, you can bettcha they want a candidate in office who is pro-life. There are many people who are pro-life and only visit the threads to cheer for the vocal defenders of life.
So your search is meaningless. Their politics are based on the total conservative package. You will find these people to be very far from one issue voters. They want the REAL DEAL. A conservative over a well known liberal.
"YOU DO need to look harder "
"So your search is meaningless."
Which is it, you are contradicting yourself. Should I look harder, or is my search meaningless?
Oh,really? Are you saving it for later then?
Im a member of the Republican party.
LOL! And that is supposed to give you the authority to call other people liars?
I also have "voting" privledges.
So do a lot of people in cemeteries.
And Rudy has mine.
How nice for you both!
None of your rhetoric has swayed me. In fact its having the opposite effect.
LOL! I couldn't care less if you're 'swayed' or not!
But you do make it easy for me to prove my point that there are some seriously misguided, uninformed, disingenuous Rudy fans out there.
Its meaningless. Do whatever you want. It will make no difference because most of us know you are off base.
Look harder!
A little reading may help with your comprehension (or lack thereof).
I'm confused, I found 23 pro-life threads that I've posted in the past month (it's usually more, but I've been fairly busy lately and February is a short month) and none of them have anything to do with Rudy:

But, I suppose that we could all be doing more to stop the culture of death and make people aware that 50 MILLION babies have been slaughtered in the abortuaries since Roe v. Wade.
If I am so off base, it wouldnt take a handful of you to play pile on everyday, now would it?
speaks volumes.
carry on.
Me thinks I hit a nerve somewhere on this thread.
The Rudy bashers have stopped bashing Rudy and are focucing primarily on Beansox!
(sigh) I guess my owrk here is done. *snickerin*
The Mods must have their reasons for returning 'beansox' to us again and again.
I can't figure what that reason might be though.
See post #290
;)
What speaks volumes is your lack of comprehension. You do not get it. If you did you would apologize to wagglebee.
You know, if I went on a forum where 85% of the other posters were in sharp disagreement with me, I would also feel like I was getting "piled on."
As I've said before, Free Republic is, first and foremost, a CONSERVATIVE forum, IT IS NOT, first and foremost, a Republican forum. There is a vast difference between the two; however, many of the Rudyites don't understand the distinction.
You're our entertainment!
That's it!
You're the jester! The juggling clown!
Keep up the good work!
You have us all laughing!
They probably have some silly, anachronistic attachment to open debate and free speech. Maybe the Mods are liberal trolls, too?
Regardless of the reason, you're apparently unable to argue effectively for yourself, so you run to Mommy to get her banned. Which is instructive as to how afraid you guys really are.
I have an inbox full of messages from people on this forum who say the same thing about you, and worse even.
Its actually quite funny the reputation you have on this forum. I would share the messages with you, but I wouldnt want to betray them for the sake of making points with someone who we have no respect for.
Have a great day sweetie!
More personal attacks.
