GIULIANI STILL LEADING GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FIELD IN CALIFORNIA. ROMNEY AND THOMPSON MAKING GAINS. McCAIN'S SUPPORT FALLING. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani continues to lead the field of Republicans running to capture this state's large number of delegates to the 2008 GOP presidential nominating convention. Arizona Senator John McCain, who was in a strong second position earlier this year, has dropped to fourth place as former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson have both made significant gains in GOP voter support. In a statewide poll of voters likely to participate in this state's February 5,...

THe latest Free Republic poll shows 7.8% of FReepers and Lurkers supporting Rudy Giuliani for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008. Rudy supports the killing of babies, gay marriage and massive gun 'control'. These are views he has never hidden. Can somebody - anybody - please explain to me how any conservative can support a candidate with such views? One would be too many - but 7.8%????

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) Thursday repeated his challenge to debate foreign policy with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and offered Giuliani a "reading assignment" of books examining U.S. policy toward the Middle East. The Republican presidential hopefuls briefly sparred over foreign policy during the Republican debate in South Carolina on May 15. Giuliani criticized Paul for suggesting that U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to Osama bin Laden's motivation in orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. "Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been...

The report in on the South Carolina Republican debate is that former New York city mayor, Rudy Giuliani came off like Ronald Reagan when he passionately rebuked Congressman Ron Paul on daring to suggest that people in other countries may not like these United States playing Empire in their countries. First, will somebody please pass me the barf bag? Comparing Rudy Giuliani to Ronald Reagan is like comparing Boy George to Margaret Thatcher. Reagan was pro-life, while Giuliani is pro-abortion. Reagan was pro-second amendment while Rudy supported gun laws while Mayor of New York city. (As an aside, in the...

ARLINGTON, VA – During the "First in the South" GOP debate in South Carolina last night, one thing was made clear: Rudy Giuliani does not understand how to keep America safe. When Congressman Ron Paul, who has long served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, explained how 50 years of American interventionism in the Middle East has helped compromise our national security, Giuliani interrupted saying he had "never heard anything so absurd." This statement is particularly troubling coming from the former mayor who tries to cast himself as a security expert, since Dr. Paul's point comes directly from the bi-partisan...

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee charmed some of South Carolina's Republican faithful Saturday, besting all his opponents on a poll measuring how well each spoke on the issues Spartanburg Republicans consider most important. "If Huckabee can ramp up his fundraising efforts, he could be a real top-tier player," Spartanburg County Republican chair Rick Beltram said. Nationally, Huckabee has been polling in the single digits, well behind frontrunner Rudy Giuliani. Both men spoke at the Greenville and Spartanburg county Republican conventions Saturday morning, joined by four other candidates: former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, Chicago businessman...
