Flame away
I'm basically a single issue - War on Terror - voter. I wouldn't hesitate to vote for Giuliani.
In other words, Giuliani told the audience what they wanted to hear, not what he really believed.
I suppose I could live with it. I'd chose Allen first, too, but Rudy would be good on the WOT. His stance on abortion and gay pride irk me, but in reality, those two issues are things that a President can't really do much about, as they are and should remain, States issues.
Who knows? I didn't know much about President Bush pre-2000 and there certainly isn't another Ronald Reagan coming over the hill that I can see.
No Republican is every conservative enough for me, so there would be no pleasing me 100% anyway. And I'll NEVER vote for a Dimowit. Ever. So that's a non-issue. ;)
"every" = "ever" conservative enough...
Guiliani - anti-gun, pro-abortion, anti-business, pro-gay marriage, pro-tax. What's not to like? (for a liberal)
Rudy will be there in the end.
No flame, personally, I like Rudy, but I can't vote for Rudy. According to the article, Rudy won't push for gay marriage, won't push for gun control, and won't push for affirmative action.
If the BEST the Republican Party can do is nominate someone who won't actively push for liberal/leftist ideas, then I must vote third party. I want to vote for someone who will actively push AGAINST gun control, affirmative action and gay marriage. As far as I am concerned, if a candidate will not actively push the conservative agenda he is a part of the problem in America. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
Rudy is a non starter. Too NY for the USA.
McCain is Hitlary lite.
Heheh---nice, very nice, zinger.
I wonder if Rudy told the audience that, if elected, his pal, failed HomeLandSec nominee Bernard Kerik, would be looking over their FBI files (smirk).
I like Allen as well, I think he is the best candidate out there. How 'bout the best of both worlds, run Allen and Rudy on the same ticket? Rudy would be great for Cheney's office, IMO.
Pure speculation and wishful thinking, unless you've some factual reasoning as to why you believe this.
As for Giuliani being "Presidential" -
Rudy Giuliani: The Knight and The Queen 11/28/2001
According to The London Times, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani gives kisses before he leaves every morning, but to neither his estranged wife, nor his girlfriend. Instead, says The Times, Sir Rudy gives a peck on the cheek to the two homosexual men hes living with. We always get a little kiss, its cute, says wealthy car dealer Howard Koeppel, with whom Giuliani has been sharing an apartment since June. When Giuliani was recently knighted, Koeppel tells The Times that he told Sir Rudy to call him Queen Howard. Koeppel (63) and his homosexual lover Mark Hsiao (41) have been comforting Giuliani, and trying to make him laugh, in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. On the way to a recent fundraising dinner for the pro-homosexual state lobby group, The Empire State Pride Agenda (ESPA), Koeppel ribbed Giuliani by saying that if the ESPA was able to raise $100,000 donation for the homosexual victims of the September 11 attacks, Giuliani should agree to appear on Showtimes controversial Queer as Folk dressed in drag. Surprisingly, Giuliani agreed. Marty Algaze of Gay Mens Health Crisis once summed up Queer as Folk a show that touts graphic sexual activity as one of its biggest draws as one that would shock a lot of people. Showtimes Queer as Folk was inspired by the original series in Britain, which featured a storyline in which a 29-year-old man has a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy. The propensity to shock people is not new to Giuliani, who likes to dress in womens clothes as a stage act, and even did so once at a Pride Agenda fund-raiser. According to the Times, Giuliani has attended every gay pride parade in New York during his eight years as mayor. In 1992, during his first run for mayor, Giuliani took part in a homosexual pride parade that included a contingent of pedophile activists marching behind a banner for NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association).

Rudy is my hero for 9/11 of course. BUT he is my hero for how he had Yassar Aarafat escorted back to the residence he was staying at during his UN visit many years ago. When he said that Terrorists are no allowed ot walk the streets in his city, he was way ahead of the curve. THATs the reason he is my hero.
No flame here.
The perfect candidate does not exist.
Rudy can win and would make a great terror-fighting President.
You have hit the nail on the head. If we have the congress I have no problems with Giuliani. But I am terrified of any Supreme Court nominee and any other judiciary appointments.
What are you smoking?
That's the very thing that will keep him from EVER being elected president.
The ONLY reason Bush is president is because he conned the conservatives into
believing he was one of them.
CWA's just jealous because he looks nicer in a skirt than most of them do. ;-D
