Indeed did it -- from gun control laws to lawsuits protecting illegals to taxpayer-funded abortion to leaving New York with the second-highest debt in the nation. Rudy accomplished liberal feats that Democrats couldn't.
Six Supreme Court nominations? Do you expect the Ebola virus inflict two-thirds of SCOTUS?
It's this kind of hyperbole that makes those trying to scare conservatives into voting for RINOs look foolish.
What you don't seem to understand is that RINOs like Giuliani give us equally bad judges as Democrats -- from John Paul Stevens to David Souter.
And, with a shrinking Republican minority in Congress, there isn't any chance Giuliani would expend political capital fighting for conservative judges.
But, a Giuliani Presidency guarantees a conservative President wouldn't be nominating judges until at least 2016.
In the primaries, I'm voting for Hunter...a true conservative. But if Rudy gets the nod from the GOP, I'll have to go w/ the lesser of two evils.
In 2016?! After Giuliani has moved the party to the left and entrenched the GOP in the same minority it was in before Reagan took office? If Giuliani survived eight years, his liberal policies would likely result in a Democrat taking over anyway.
Putting Giuliani in office sets back the conservative movement 10 to 20 years.
A Hillary Presidency sets the stage for another Reagan or '94 revolution with in four years.
That's what will happen if Giuliani reaches office.
To believe Giuliani would nominate judges opposed to Roe when he has been and continues to be rabidly in favor of abortion rights makes you dangerously delusional. And, never mind, he appointed liberal judges by an 8-1 margin in New York.
Having blind faith RINOs will govern conservatively is a bigger obstacle to conservatism than Hillary Clinton.
Wow, just wow... Pat disappoints me one of the few times I can remember.
No, we're eager to "hate" high-profile Christians that sell out Biblical morality for their own financial and political gain.
Jim Bakker deserves more respect than Robertson.
Well, first of all, just as you attribute others sporting an overestimate (& to a certain degree, you're right) of what a "pro-life" POTUS can do for the pre-born; in this case, you're attributing an overestimate of what one man did for NYers.
IOW, crime rates go up & down for a whole host of other reasons than crime-fighting measures by the powers that be. (I've seen more intensified measures implemented; and the crime rates still go up (go figure).
I just happen to think that we're more in line with that time in Germany where the Nazis had yet to declare war on multiple countries, but it was "open season" on Jews. [In my analogy, it's not the govt that is directly parallel to the "Nazis"...the true "powers that be" are the demonic agents of the air as described in Ephesians 6]. The Jews in our era are the pre-born. Oh, sure the govt. (like the German govt of '38 & '39) practices "law & order" on behalf of the rest of us. [Who knows, perhaps the German murder rate of non-German Jewish citizens went down by 1300 in 1938?] Somehow, I'd just don't think we'd give them an "A+" for "law & order" during the Krystalnacht era.
Pat has been running around writing books and giving speeches about the Illegal invasion and how globalization is evil. Now endorsing the anti-Pat?
Must be alien abduction or mind altering substances. WHAT UP, PAT?
Robertson must be senile.
For the same reason Pat has endorsed man-made global warming, opposed the death penalty, rationalized China's one-child genocide policy and sold out a Christian cable TV network for a cool billion dollars.
We can’t afford to have Rudy as Commander in Chief. He’d be worse than Hillary.
The BATF, an executive-branch agency, has been harrassing gun dealers and driving them out of business. The president can do plenty to help or hurt gun sellers and owners.
I'm sure it is a lot of fun for liberals and RINOs.
Call me. I have some swamp land in Florida you might be interested in.
I will say it again: I accept converts to the pro life cause. As far as I am concerned, Rudy never “converted” and was extremely pro abortion while he was mayor -and I live in NYC. He was an excellent mayor but he was much loved by NARAL. He would not even condemn partial birth abortion. He alienated me on the life issue.
If we SURVIVE Hillary. I am sure she is drawing up plans to arrest Rush!
ROFL!
The 9/11 Ka-ching candidate.
