Steve Forbes: Right Man for Our Times (Rudy Giuliani)
Forbes ^ | April 23, 2007 | Steve Forbes

Posted on 04/17/2007 6:25:48 PM PDT by FairOpinion

Rudy Giuliani would make a superb president. he combines Reaganesque vision with extraordinary attention to detail. He is strong on national security and also has the principles and policies to strengthen the economy. He is a tax cutter and a foe of the federal income tax's complexity.

He is a fervent free trader, much needed, as global protectionist pressures are rising. He has also demonstrated an antipathy toward unnecessary regulation. If Sarbanes-Oxley hasn't been amended by the time Giuliani takes office, he will push hard to remove its counterproductive elements.

While I disagree with him in certain areas--I am pro-life, and he is pro-choice--he has made it abundantly clear that he would appoint John Roberts/Samuel Alito-type judges to the federal bench.

Giuliani cut or eliminated 23 taxes. The top rate for the city income tax, for instance, was knocked down by 21%. The overall tax burden for a New York City resident went down a remarkable 17%.

During Giuliani's tenure the Big Apple's economy blossomed: 423,000 new jobs were created. More people were moving into the city than leaving it. That he achieved so much going against a generations-old spend-tax-welfare political ethos is astonishing.

Steve might make a really good Secretary of the Treasury, no matter who wins the nomination.

Rudy would make a good Attorney General in a Rudy administration......

Just look up the thread from the last time it was posted and you don’t even have to work at your responses!

Retread your posts.

LOL

Not that it matters, since the link is to a pay-per-view site.

Maybe you could just put the link of the other thread where we posted this, that way we could read all the other comments we made 4 days ago instead of making them all again here.

You shouldn't talk like that about Rudy.

But to be fair, I should just put links here to the comments in the other threads.

That would be pretty funny, if we all just filled up the next 50 posts here with links to all the comments we made in the other thread.

I guess I’m looking for a laugh after the events of the past two days.

I was talking to areafifty one, who will no doubt receive a special heavenly award for taking such ugly attacks with such graciousness.

“Any man who would deny Americans their Second Amendment rights is the wrong man for our times.”

Right! And I could less care what Teve Torbes has to say about this RINO.

No, I really think the best link to use would be this one:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1816835/posts

It not only has the article and a link to the article, it comes with it's own pre-packaged comments section complete with spam and postings of unrelated articles.

We could save our selves a good two hours that way.

Yes, but your “Don’t cast your pearls before swine” comment came in response to areafiftyone sending a ping to all the pro-rudy people.

Which really confused me. Were you saying that a ping to pro-rudy people was a pearl being cast to swine? Or were you saying the pro-rudy peoplle were pearls and this article about Forbes was “swine”?

It was all so confusing.

You need grammar lessons. Quite frequently the author of an article is put first, with a colon to the title. And it’s also accepted in posting, to put anything one adds, that is not in the actual title in paranthesis.

You are really grasping at straws, aren’t you, since you have nothing substantive to add.
