Rudy Giuliani campaign team backtracks on tryst talk

If Hillary gets elected President, I hope you enjoy paying for Charles Rangel’s tax reform.

[JCEccles]

Devastating.

So, I'm wondering where Giuliani's support goes when it bleeds away. I can't see it going to Huckabee.

If Hillary gets elected President, I hope you enjoy paying for Charles Rangel’s tax reform.

Free health care too under Hillary. YES!

[tear gas]

As I said before, if he broke city, state, or federal laws, he should have been prosecuted for it.

Obviously, Rudy hid and buried all these transactions in order to avoid being prosecuted. Maybe now that a lot of this stuff is coming out, he will be.

He's the type who might really enjoy living in a men's prison.

[FreeInWV]

We don’t need a president who thinks that personally shuffling money around and hiding expenses among unrelated agencies is perfectly OK.

Not only is what he did wrong, but he obviously had to intimidate auditors to keep them from bringing it up/

It makes you wonder what kind of police force he would create as president and what agency’s funds he would raid to pay for it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

As I said before, if he broke city, state, or federal laws, he should have been prosecuted for it.

Well, he broke his marital vows to his 2nd wife. I guess breaking religious laws is less important than government laws.

[Perdogg]

That’s silly. Since you cannot prove a crime, it must be only because the evidence was destroyed.

[50mm]

The sad truth of Rooty’s sordid personal behavior emerges. Taxpayer funded bimbos make him the Republican version of Slick Willy.

[Perdogg]

That’s between Rudy and God, we don’t live in an Islamic Republic.

[TitansAFC]

Well, you know - no controlling legal authority.

[tear gas]

LOL. It isn't MY job to prove a crime. It may be, though, that there will now evidence for people who do prosecute crimes back there. It reminds me a lot of the Duke Cunningham mess. I recall him also saying that no one would be able to prove he was engaged in criminal misconduct.

And, beyond that, I think you're making a mistake if you think the American people are going to be impressed by a candidate's claim that this clear abuse of his position must be excused unless he is first convicted of a crime. I think Rudy's candidacy is effectively over.

And that's the way God wants it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

That’s between Rudy and God, we don’t live in an Islamic Republic.

He's running for the world's most powerful office. So it's relevant.

If he was Joe Blow from the street I wouldn't give a feces.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Well, you know - no controlling legal authority.

Yeah but that magical R label works wonders. Kind of like what spinach does for Popeye.

"I was covered because there were threats to kill me. Contracts back from when I was United States attorney, all kinds of things."

Really? Serious, credible threats? I'd love to see some evidence of that.

Were there threats to kill your mistress, too? Is that why she was offered the NYPD as her personal taxi service?

[WestSylvanian]

Rudy was visiting Judith in South Hampton on these little trysts. Is that one of the toney Hamptons, home of the super rich and famous? How did Judith afford a home there? I thought she was a nurse from a coal town in Pennsylvania. Did Rudy set her up in a little love nest that he paid for? Just wondering.

[SoConPubbie]

"Who cares about his personal life? I don’t. If he had broken the law, he should have been charged"

This isn't about his personal life.

The city should not be paying protection for his girl-friend while he is married, period!.

At best this just shows the complete lack of ethics by Rudy,at worst, it is a case of embezzlement as he was charging the city for protection services for his girl-friend that should never have occured.

Disclaimer, I am not familiar with NYC law on this matter.

[calcowgirl]

Who cares about his personal life?

If he uses taxpayer dollars to fund his folly, I care.

[tear gas]

Did Rudy set her up in a little love nest that he paid for?

I think it's safe to assume that. Apparently, Rudy also had a love nest with Bernie Kerik near ground zero.

[SoConPubbie]

It’s looking more and more like Rudy is a Republican version of the Clinton’s.

I guess when he said that his policies were almost identical to Bill Clinton he really wasn’t lying, was he!

I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.
