LOL! Probably not!
Vote for a liberal - you'll get liberalism.
Don't vote (D/L). Don't vote (R/L). Vote for a philosophy.
Vote Conservative - you'll get Conservatism!
Now you see why the candidates need to raising the big money now.
I guess those are supposed to mean something but what I'm not sure...
Did he hire Rove yet?
Exactly. Those who can't will get left in the dust and have to quit. It happens every time.
Looks like with all the unemployed Republican strategists right now they'll take any work they can get. :)
With the latest USA Today poll showing Rudy with a 16 point lead over his nearest rival- McCain, it's not at all surprising to see people flocking like crazy to Rudy. Lots of people want to work for a winner.

MAYOR GIULIANI COMMEMORATES THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROE V. WADE SUPREME COURT DECISION
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani today commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision guaranteeing a woman’s constitutional right to privacy. At a press conference at City Hall, the Mayor was joined by Kelli Conlin, Executive Director of the New York State Affiliate of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL/NY); Irwin Schneiderman, NARAL Foundation Board Chair; Barbara Schack, NARAL/NY Board Chair; State Senator Roy M. Goodman, Council Member Andrew Eristoff; and Assemblyman John Ravitz.
"Twenty five years after the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, its impact is as significant as ever," Mayor Giuliani said. "This decision has precluded government from interfering with a woman’s Constitutional rights. "I take this opportunity to restate the commitment of the Administration to protect women’s right to seek reproductive health advice and services if that is their choice," the Mayor concluded.
Ms. Conlin said, "The 25th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade is an important time to remember the values that define the right to choose, and to applaud New York’s important role in leading the nation in regard to reproductive health. The Roe decision transformed abortion from a criminal act to a legal medical procedure, allowing doctors to provide this important medical service to women, without fear of criminal prosecution. Women were finally spared the humiliation of back alleys, and the fear of death due to unsafe, unsanitary procedures.
Ms. Conlin continued, "New York City has renewed its commitment to reproductive health care for women consistently, most profoundly in 1994 with the enactment of the Clinic Protection Act, which has dramatically reduced the incidence of violence and harassment of women entering health facilities."
With more than 50,000 members, NARAL/NY works in the political arena to protect women’s access to safe reproductive health services, and to expand the reproductive rights available to women.

Well You are partly right Republicans are flocking to Rudy. ;-)
So Rudy is choosing more members for his A-TEAM of Rockefeller Republicans.
Maybe the Rudy-Lovers can get his hired guns to join FR too. If they're on the Giuliani payroll, why not let them earn their money. We already have a few Bloggers for Rudy pushing his agenda and spewing his politics around here. Why not a few more.
They've got their work cut out for them after that Global Warming gaffe.
Thank God! A Rudy thread.
He'll need a magic wand to get the social conservative vote.
If he's chosen as the Republican candidate, his opponent has already won.
I will be hanged if I will ever vote for him.
Wrong! A lot of these people are leaving their paid jobs to take positions with the Rudy Giuliani campaign. Nice try!
Vote for a liberal - you'll get liberalism. Period.
That's why the liberal press has chosen liberal Republicans as our front runners. It's a win/win for them.
That was no mistake. It was the truth. Rudy was just speaking from his heart.
Rudy: I do. I do believe there's global warming. Yes. And...and I...I think there are...I'm not a scientist all I can do is look at the reports. I think the last one said that...uh...ummm...fir-fir-first of all there's definitely global warming as far as I can tell. I guess the big question has always been how much is it, how much of it is happening because of just natural climate changes and progressions and how much is happening because of human intervention - carbon in particular - and the overwhelming majority of the scientists believe that there's significant human cause that's making it more difficult, making it worse.

I like Rudy a lot but I fear too many Republicans are putting all their eggs in this basket too soon.
"If he's chosen as the Republican candidate, his opponent has already won."
You can tell yourself that if you like, but the fact is that national polls show Giuliani leading Hillary. And Giuliani is much more likeable than Hillary, so he will benefit from the debates. He's a former prosecutor and is good at speaking on his feet.
If he's chosen as the Republican candidate, his opponent has already won.
What if Hunter was his veep?
Wow, I knew he'd have his people lined up before committing.
To the social Conservatives, it doesn't matter who wins this election. They're all the same. The liberal press has made sure of it. All the "media chosen" candidates are socially liberal.
Never.
Yep.
Giuliani said he believes global warming is occurring but is not sure how much is caused by humans, and suggested the U.S. should look at expanding its use of nuclear power and other alternative energy sources.
They will never vote for him even if Hunter was his VP pick. It's not on their agenda.
You can tell yourself that if you like, but the fact is that national polls show Giuliani leading Hillary.
Social conservatives rarely contribute to polls. They're a very private, church and family oriented people.
---"You can tell yourself that if you like, but the fact is that national polls show Giuliani leading Hillary.......And Giuliani is much more likeable than Hillary, so he will benefit from the debates."---
Likeable? Huh? I though his selling point was that he was a "fork in your eye" NY brass-knuckles name-caller?
Now he's warm and fuzzy?
No poll has a Third Party considered yet, and most polls have the election rather close when one considers Hitlery is despised by her own party right now - and that Rudy Giuliani has not yet had to face any fire on the Presidential campaign.
You keep telling yourself that nothing in his past will bother moderates, and that none of his issues will cost him votes with Conservatives, and that the Independents are in a GOP-like war mood begging for four more years of GOP Presidency and war.
By the time the press gets done with him, he'll lose big time. Because as those Independents peel off, he won't be picking-up any more Conservatives.
He's right. He still acknowledges, that the question is how much, or how significant it is. By 2060, the total energy change is only ~0.35%, so it's small and insignificant. That's what folks have to learn.
Check my post #30. He's not sure how much is caused by humans.
Come on people! Vote your guy in the primary and then get on board. Congress still has power you know!
ROFLOL
Way to spin it.
But the truth is that he first brings up that there's a question about how much is human caused - "carbon in particular" he said - and how much is natural and then he answers his own question about that by stating that the "overwhelming" majority of scientists say it is human caused.
I watched the video numerous times as I was compiling the transcript. I know what I saw and heard.
LOL! They don't care. They really don't. I'm telling ya!
Christians aren't going to vote for him. They're already planning on staying home. They say they have no one to vote for this time. That's why the liberal press is pushing the liberal Republicans. It works every time.
Reagan had conservative values but he could also get his message accross. If you can find a likable conservative that has broad based appeal great, but the pissed off angry guy just wont fly. It never has.
My gut tells me that Rudy is a conservative Manchurian Candidate.
I think you underestimate him....I don't know who I'm voting for....but Rudy will garner votes from Independents and many more moderates which really is most of the country, center left or center right.....
I'm a Christian and so is my wife and my whole family on both sides and we will vote Rudy over Hillary all day long.
"Giuliani said he believes global warming is occurring but is not sure how much is caused by humans, and suggested the U.S. should look at expanding its use of nuclear power and other alternative energy sources." - Newsmax
Oh, the irony.
We're using the ACTUAL transcript of what Giuliani said. You, on the other hand, picked and chose one single paraphrase quote from Newsmax to encourage FReepers to vote for Rudy. Now, you're busted.
Now he's warm and fuzzy?
My husband just doesn't like him. He said he wouldn't vote for him, period. He says "It's something about the way he looks. I wouldn't trust him for a NY minute."
Christians aren't going to vote for him. They're already planning on staying home

So Rudy believes the scientific experts, many who are leftwing environmental wackos, that there is "significant human cause" to global warming.
Significant means substantial.
Scientists have been telling us for the last 50-100 years, the Earth has been going through a period of warming since the end of the last ice age. The last ice age ended 10,000-30,000 years ago, depending upon who is talking on the subject matter. Algore is an extremist on Global Warming. Algore thinks humans have had a major impact on the Earth`s temperature rising.
Giuliani is coming down somewhere closer to liberals like Algore and A.Schwarzy, then to folks like Rush Limbaugh and climate expert Bill Gray, meteorology professor emeritus at Colorado State. Looks like Rudy is solidly with the liberals, AGAIN!
