Rudy should have dressed differently

"it's going to be virtually impossible for Giuliani to woo voters who put the Second Amendment and family values as their top issues."

Two of his most unattractive features.
If this CNSNEWS is against him--he's a winner!!!!!
The second amendment kills the deal.
I like Rudy but not if he is in favor of taking away my guns.
Then again, McCain wouldn't take away my guns, only the guns of the military.
Gee, do I want to eat cat food or dog food.?
"While serving in that post, Giuliani saw his private life become a regular subject of media scrutiny, especially in 2000, when he announced at a press conference that he was seeking a separation from his second wife without first telling her of his decision.
"Despite Giuliani's charm and his obvious leadership abilities, as far as social and cultural issues are concerned, not only his personal life but his public views make him unacceptable," Parro said."
Hmmm, whatever happened to "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?" Oh, I forgot; that pearl of Christian wisdom only applies to people the perpetually-panty-bunched actually like.
My bad, thinking Jesus meant for that to be applied across the board. (/sarc).
Giuliani will only have strong returns in the open primary states, in the closed states, he won't have a prayer IMO.
Pretty imaginative headline, when one reads the whole article.
yeah...that's another issue...for conservatives.
Giuliani hasn't exactly proven his character in his personal life. Which leaves open speculation about his character politically.
I think I'm going to just wait and see what sort of platform he does do.
I don't see him making any issue of gun control at the national level. And, depending perhaps on the next appointment to the court it will probably be irrelevant what the next President thinks about abortion. In fact, its already pretty much irrelevant.
But it makes a big difference what sort of platform he puts together. If he plays his hand carefully with some moves to the right-- then the White House is his for the taking. Nobody would beat him.
"Which leaves open speculation about his character politically."
Didn't stop anyone for voting for Bob Packwood.
Didn't stop anyone voting for Bob Barr.
Didn't stop anyone from supporting Tom DeLay.
Certainly didn't keep Mark Foley from sitting in the house until his personal life became too difficult to hide.
Hypocrites, I guess, are where you find them.
Looks like Clinton '08!

His personal life is very much a legitimate objection to his attaining the presidency. It illustrates his character It poses questions as to his steadiness and consistency of loyalty. I love Newt Gingrich but he has some of that same baggage and it points to questions about judgment which is a fairly important quality in a president, wouldn't you say? It was President BJ for whom we were to ignore Character and morals because of his sterling qualities. His biggest failing was precisely judgment.
Giuliani is a statist. It's as simple as that. He will never be my President.

I agree!
Say "Hello" to President Hillary.
Duh.
