Have you guys ever heard of a joke?

This video is a cut and paste job with no context or dates.

Here is George Will on Giuliani in 2007:

and

"Regarding the Republican race, for many months commentators have said that when the Republican base learns the facts about Rudy Giuliani's personal life (an annulled first marriage, a messy divorce, then a third marriage) and views on social issues (for abortion rights, gay rights and gun control, in each case with limits), support for him will evaporate. But such commentary is becoming self-refuting. The insistent reiteration of it during Giuliani's coast-to-coast campaigning is telling activist Republicans -- the sort of people who read political commentary -- the facts about Giuliani. And so far those facts are not causing a recoil from him: According to the USA Today-Gallup poll, his lead over John McCain has grown from 31 percent to 27 percent in November to 40-24 today.

This does not mean that the social issues have lost their salience. People for whom opposition to abortion is very important might, however, think that in wartime it is not supremely important. Or they might reason, correctly, that presidents can change abortion policy only by changing the Supreme Court, so Giuliani's pledge to nominate justices like Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and John Roberts is sufficient."

I saw that, but they'll get better. The changes won't be substantive and you know it. There's plenty of time and VERY inexpensive means to distribute them nationwide for pennies on the campaign dollar.

This kind of stuff is a death knell for his primary campaign and you know that too.

You need dates and context to interpret, " I think Roe v. Wade is good constitutional law?"

Or "I have always been a supporter of McCain Feingold?"
