The perfect fiscal conservative ticket? It may be the only GOP ticket that could with NY, FL and NY. Rudy Giuliani says Governor Palin is an exciting political figure and her abilities as very good Governor demonstrate she has the experience to be president. Øbama, on the other hand, has preformed much, much worse then ever expect. Rudy also discusses Øbama "Birth Certificate" but incorrectly claims he has seen it as the only document that has been release is a forged "Certificate of live Birth."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani will give the keynote address at the Republican National Convention next month and Democrat-turned-independent Sen. Joe Lieberman also will take center stage at the GOP gathering.

So many e-mailers this morning are predicting that the McCain trial balloon is really about Giuliani. I'm not there, but here's one: I don't think it's being floated for Liebermann or Ridge. I think he's considering Giuliani. - Might put NY in enough play to make Obama spend a lot of money there. - Has name recognition and gets plenty of respect on law enforcement/national security - Might be more palatable to pro-lifers if he were to make clear that it's McCain's pro-life administration The McCain campaign has already hired a Giuliani staffer as the unnamed veep's communications director... 08/19...

Rudy Giuliani's interview on Hannity and Colmes, 2/6/2007 HANNITY: Generally speaking do you think it's acceptable if citizens have the right to carry a handgun? GIULIANI: It's part of the constitution. People have the right to bear arms. Then restrictions have to be reasonable and sensible. You can't just remove that right.

Rudy Giuliani never shrank from defending his image as mayor, but as a businessman he's gone a step further - even trademarking his own name, the Daily News has learned. The unusual step, revealed in a recent Giuliani company contract obtained by The News, states under the heading "Use of Mr. Giuliani's Name" that the "trade names and trademarks 'Rudolph Giuliani,' or 'Giuliani Partners LLC' . . . shall not be used . . . without prior written consent." Doing anything that "tarnishes, degrades, disparages or reflects adversely on the Giuliani" name, it adds, will be grounds for terminating the...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani apparently knows his pro-abortion position isn't going to play well in the heartland of America. Just over a week after an internal strategy memo leaked out acknowledging that fact, the mayor appointed a pro-life former congressman to help head his Iowa campaign. Giuliani tapped pro-life former Rep. Jim Nussle to be a leader on his presidential exploratory committee. Nussle had a 100 percent pro-life voting record during his last two years in Congress, according to the National Right to Life Committee. He lost a bid to become Iowa governor...

How Europe Can Stop the Hate By Rudolph W. Giuliani Anti-Semitism is the Western world's oldest and most persistent species of hatred. There are larger and more widespread minority groups than Jews -- at 13 million, they comprise about 0.2 percent of the world's population -- but the Holocaust made clear how virulent hatred of them has been. To the extent that anti-Semitism persists, we have yet to fulfill the promise of "Never Again" to those who were martyred. President Bush has asked me to head the United States delegation to a conference on combating anti-Semitism, held by the Organization...

The S.C. Republican Party’s sponsorship of “An Evening Honoring Rudy Giuliani” last week spoke volumes. It reflected what some said is a shift in attitude toward GOP candidates with more liberal views on social issues. There’s a greater degree of tolerance and acceptance, party officials said. Giuliani, who rose to national prominence for his take-charge performance after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, supports gay rights, gun control and legalized abortion, which puts him at odds with most Republicans. Nevertheless, he has traveled the country extensively on behalf of GOP candidates this year while acknowledging his own interest in a possible...

NEW YORK - New York's celebrity senator, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, generates near-constant buzz about a possible 2008 presidential bid. The outgoing governor, Republican George Pataki, has been making campaign reconnaissance trips to Iowa, site of the first-in-the nation presidential caucuses. But for former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the road to a possible presidential campaign has shaped up very differently. The man dubbed "America's Mayor" for his take-charge performance after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks has been flying under the media radar, building his businesses and enjoying a prosperous private life while assessing his chances in a...

WASHINGTON -- Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are the top-polling Republican rivals for the White House in 2008, but the two dinner buddies avoid talking about that topic when sharing tortellini and bresaola at Giuliani's favorite Manhattan bistros. Their latest get-together took place on Nov. 1 at Elio's, an Upper East Side eatery known for its $30 veal chops. They shared a table with McCain confidante Mark Salter, Giuliani's wife Judith and his aide-de-camp Tony Carbonetti. McCain and Giuliani reportedly chatted about the food, sports and Iraq -- everything but 2008. The same can't be said for the Arizona senator's...

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said Sunday he will contemplate next year whether to run for president in 2008. "I will be considering it next year," Giuliani said during a visit to Denmark. But he added that playing with the idea of running for the Republican nomination for president did not mean he would actually do it. "Sometime you warm up and get ready and you don't get in and pitch," he told reporters, in a baseball analogy. Giuliani who was praised for his leadership following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center, thanked Danish...

Hillary Rodham Clinton's rise, some congressional Republicans are taking a fresh look at former New York Mayor Rudy Giulaini, a social centrist with national recognition in stature.Guiliani earns near-universal admiration among congressional Republicans--an important constituency in the race for the nomination.But even his biggest boosters cannot say for sure whether a big city mayor who supports abortion rights can win over the social conservatives who hold overwhelming sway within the GOP.The key question according to pollster John Zogby is 'How strong will the Christian conservatives be? Will they be able to block Rudy,...
