Well then, Jesus should've just hung around with the Upper-Crust. knothead.
Noted?
He’s an abortionist, gay rights supporting, gun grabbing, sovereignty and free religion/free speech destroying liberal. Rudy is no conservative my friend. Far from it. He’s the enemy within as are his misguided supporters. Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do.
yep call me a liberal... if that is what you think
But I core to the bone Republican conservative... and I have loyalty.
I stand alone if that is what is right. And I’m doing it right now.
If you all are happy about Rudy being maligned by the media... then cheers. I’m sure you all always hated Rudy. Just like Lieberman... or is Lieberman okay now?
Such a lack of consistency.
Good catch Spiff. It just shows everyone how they lie.
"At the center of negotiations for multiple legs of the Superhighway Corridor throughout Texas, is none other than Rudolph Giuliani’s law firm which landed the Comprehensive Development Agreement for a widening of Interstate-35, now referred to as the TTC-35, in addition to the Master Development Plans for State Highways 121 and 130 among other legs of the TTC. All negotiations for Cintra were and are presently handled by the law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, LLP, of which Republican Presidential candidate, Rudolph Giuliani, has been a senior executive partner since March 2005. His law firm is the exclusive legal counsel for Cintra. Bracewell & Giuliani is comprised of 400 attorneys, based in Houston, TX with offices in New York City, Washington, D.C., London and Kazakhstan.
Cintra joined with San Antonio, TX-based Zachry Construction Corp. to help land the contracts, in which Zachry owns a 20% interest. The Cintra-Zachry proposal for TTC-35 includes a private investment of up to $6 billion in upfront payments for the complete construction, design and operation of a 316-mile toll road between Dallas and San Antonio, giving Cintra the right to set tolls and keep toll road profits for a period of 50 years, as it will for each road it has contracted.
The NAFTA Superhighway and its corridors will run from Southwestern Mexico through Laredo, Austin and Dallas, TX, into Kansas City, KA, serving as an inland customs port. The corridor will split in Kansas with one leg going to Winnipeg, Canada through Omaha, NE. The other leg goes to Toronto, Canada through Des Moines, IA, Chicago, IL and Detroit, MI.
As many as 10 lanes, one-mile wide will incorporate double rails and pipelines. The second corridor is planned from Brownsville to Houston, TX through Arkansas, Memphis, TN and into Norfolk, VA. While the principal use for these corridors is to speed Asian goods into the Central and Eastern U.S., it will require 145 acres of land per mile or 540,000 total acres of land. And in Texas, the state may utilize its own discretion in using eminent domain law in order to reach its goal.
Had gasoline tax revenues been properly allocated and solely reserved for highway projects over the years, neither Texas nor numerous other states would be as desperate for funds as they claim they now are, as many highway funds have been found to have been raided for other state projects and public funding.
The citizens of Texas only as recently as February 2007 began to attend state legislative hearings where many state lawmakers themselves were beginning to become familiar with the Cintra contracts. Several have called for a moratorium on at least the TTC-35 project, envisioned as a high-speed highway, until they can evaluate issues such as eminent domain, cost benefit analysis, environmental impact and homeland security ramifications.
Most interesting to the whole story is not only has Mr. Giuliani’s involvement in the NAFTA Superhighway not ever having been publicly addressed, but how a foreign company is awarded the building of a mass highway system, versus maintaining it, for the first time in U.S. history, and negotiated by the law firm of the top Republican candidate running for President of the United States. And truly disturbing is how such will not only have national and homeland security and sovereignty implications but how it is deliberately being kept away from the Halls of Congress.
Giuliani fancies himself as an expert on homeland security issues and a law enforcer. And he has amassed quite the portfolio since 2002, earning $20 million in that year alone, by selling himself as such. He owns Giuliani Partners, Giuliani Safety & Security and Giuliani Capital Advisors. In March 2007 he sold Giuliani Capital Advisors, a former Ernst & Young finance company he purchased in 2002, to Macquerie Infrastructure Consortium. Not coincidentally, it is a partner of Cintra’s in its shared operations of toll roads in both Indiana and Chicago, IL.
Bracewell & Giuliani represents some of the biggest multi-national oil, utility infrastructure and financial corporations both in the U.S. and abroad. With that have come the connections that Giuliani has been able to tap into for campaign donors, essential for his presidential bid, not only in Texas but nationwide, as he has become the consummate globalist. But more troubling than potential conflicts of interest as a public servant is his lack of compunction to secure U.S. borders and then planting himself squarely in the middle of one of the most controversial and historic highway system projects since the 1956 National Federal-Aid Highway Act.
Particularly unnerving, given Guiliani’s personal experience on 9-11, is his defense of open borders at any cost while condoning the NAFTA Superhighway Corridor and by extension the North American Union, without the purview or consent of the U.S. Congress or the will of the American people.
We should have seen it coming when Giuliani enacted Special Order 40 in 1994, during his tenure as Mayor of New York City, in ordering law enforcement officers to no longer check the legal status of suspects caught violating the law. We should have seen it coming when Rudolph Giuliani single-handedly decided that illegal aliens were not lawbreakers and also quit upholding the law. And unfortunately we now do see it coming. But sadly, he may now actually be handed the opportunity to no longer defend and abide by the U.S. Constitution of the United States of America."
I just don’t like him being maligned.... I just don’t, it is a personal thing.
I understand the desire for a Romney or Thomson ticket... I understand the guncontrol issues, and the fear of another Swartzchnegger... I get that.
Supporting abortion, gay rights, and gun control is core to the bone Republican conservatism? Since when?
I’ve been here since 2002 under this account. So who is the liar?
If you support Giuliani, then you are deluding yourself that you are a conservative.
I stand alone if that is what is right. And I’m doing it right now.
An admirable trait, although you are doing it on behalf of a liberal.
If you all are happy about Rudy being maligned by the media... then cheers. I’m sure you all always hated R>
I don't think this article is fair, and although I would never vote for Rudy, I don't dislike him. I was in college in NYC when he was first elected, and he cleaned the city up almost overnight. He was a great mayor, and I will always think so. But he's basically a liberal, and so I would never vote for him for President.
Go and debate. But your whining is not doing your candidate any good.
We shall find out : )
So I counter with the ridiculous.
Then you support abortion, correct? And you support partial birth abortion, correct?
Nahhh! Slick addressed that issue... He said, "See my lawyer, I'm too busy doing the people's business to bother with trivia like that"!!!!! Now he's too busy making millions from idiots to be bothered by that 'old business'....
And Hillary addressed it by ignoring it. It does go away if it's ignored long enough..... Doesn't it???????
He did his job as mayor just like any other mayor. That was what he was elected and paid to do. My mayors have done the same type of thing when we had F4 and F5 tornadoes hit this area. That did not make them presidential material any more than what Rudy did.
Sorry, mate. 9-11 doesn’t make a liberal gay rights loving abortionist presidential material for the conservative base. We reject such nonsense on its ugly face.
I understand the dislike of his position that run counter to the conservative core.
That said, the MSM is attacking anyone labeled as a “conservative” with this hit piece.
Thank Goodness the RudyBots are no longer alive to see this, LOL! *SMIRK*
Yes, his actions after 9/11 demonstrated that he would make an excellent professional speechwriter or funeral-goer. President? Abso-freakin-lutely NOT!
It was because of him and the firefighters that I became a volunteer firefighter.
Are you aware of how New York firefighters feel about Giuliani? They're not very fond of him, to say the least. And rightfully so.
