Giuliani's Social Views Not Well Known

The Gallup Poll ^ | February 7, 2007

PRINCETON, NJ -- As former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani inches closer to a formal declaration of his candidacy for the 2008 Republican nomination for president, the challenge he faces among Republicans with his support of abortion rights and same-sex civil unions is clear in a recent USA Today/Gallup Poll.

Giuliani is extraordinarily well-liked and respected by the American public. He also ties with or leads Arizona Sen. John McCain as the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in recent Gallup polls. At the same time, his views on abortion and same-sex civil unions are unknown to most rank and file Republicans. Once informed of Giuliani's positions, a sizable minority of Republicans say they would reconsider their support for the otherwise popular and well-respected Republican luminary.

"Try 'Googling' 'Duncan Hunter+corruption' and go back beyond the first couple of pages, and have a box of Kleenex tissues handy when you do, you'll need them"

Ok, I tried it:

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,160,000 for giuliani+corruption. (0.04 seconds)

But I don't think I'm going to wade through 1,160,000 pages of Giuliani corruption. Don't think you want to go there either.

AmeriBrit is acting like a kook, and your association with it speaks volumes as well.

AmeriBrit - post it, or be considered a liar.

Funny thing about all of this, I found this before he ever announced along with some other things. Shocked me when he announced. I still haven't figured it out either.

Curious - got it figured out yet?

And staying out of anything to do with Hunter on here. Not my candidate and not my business.

Hmmmmmm

So. New tune from last night.....

[PhiKapMom]

I haven't changed my mind but I want to make sure I keep posting on here. I am staying off all other candidate threads.

That's smart given that the rules have clearly changed around here.

How have the rules changed?

Hellooo?
Please explain.

Hmmm ... must have been a drive-by fruiting.

Compare the Rudy quote against one from the Gubinator some years back.. peas in a pod?

"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it." - Rudy Giuliani

Holy crap. That Orwellian quote should be posted in *every* FR thread on Giuliani.

"My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it.

People need somebody to watch over them.

Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."

How are you, doodlelady? hope all is well.

Interesting antics a few wish to indulge in here, eh?

I'm glad to see the Proprietor took the trash out.. and none too soon.

[CAluvdubya]

Looks like I missed all the fun!

[NormsRevenge]

Oh, I'm sure there will be a lot more in the coming days. ;-)

[SoCalPol]

Good talking to your earlier.
You saw my post #200.

now back to Mark Levin thread

[CAluvdubya]

Aren't they cute?!

[CAluvdubya]

Yep, read that. Amazing what rumors some will try to post as fact!

[NormsRevenge]

Cute ? uhhh..
No. lol

Speaking of 'antics', that's a great link at the bottom of your homepage, the Hans Christian Anderson feast of children's literature.

What an unusual surprise. They say good children's lit is the hardest to write because the standards are so high, and the message must be pure and clear.

Kind of like finding the right candidate.

Yes, I'm glad the Proprietor is doing some early Spring cleaning.
Good to get things aired out.
