I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.

ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES (November 14, 2006)

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.

KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.

GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.

KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.

JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.

KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.

GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.

Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY

Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. The event is sponsored by the Republican Pro-Choice Coalition, a group that is campaigning for the removal of the pro-life plank from the Republican National Platform.

Reagan was all FOR the BRADY BILL.

Rudy did NOTHING "fascistic" as mayor.

Just throwing words around and ignoring facts, as you have, doesn't do anything to help your positions.

[nopardons]

Calling Rudy "tone-deaf on race" and then talking about him being called a racist, most assuredly is calling the man a racists, twice; even though he did mention the Al Sharpton bit, which was NOT a "debate" at all. Rudy REFUSED to meet and kow-tow to Sharpton!

I suggest that you go read the article again, since you missed so much of it the first time around.

The Bess Myerson thing was NOT dismissed. She was guilty and she was found guilty at trial.

I almost NEVER ( as in 99.7% percent of the time ) drop names nor introduce personal stuff on FR; however, in this instance I'm going to do just that. I know one of Bess's first cousins; have since high school. I not only followed this incident in the papers and T.V., but talked with members of Bess' family. Just HOW familiar are YOU, PERSONALLY, with this case?

It was Michael Milken, who was being referred to, with the "WALL STREET TYPES" mentioned in the article. And Milken and his cronies WERE convicted.

You would be far better off, if you wrote about things you knew and understood. Try it......it saves a lot of eating of humble pie, later on.

People here complain that the president and some of those in his administration are "spineless". Rudy has a SPINE and you're complaining about that.

[nopardons]

Tell us all EWHY Rudy dressed like that,IN COMPLETE DETAIL, or don't post any more of those pictures.

Posting them do you and your pals no good at all; it just makes you look ridiculous and Rudy look better and better and BETTER! :-)

[nopardons]

Rudy is liked a LOT in the South! Keep on posting your delusions and you are going to look foolish. :-)

[upsdriver]

Thank you! Just trying to lighten things up a bit! Glad you caught it!!

[nopardons]

If that's what YOU think, then it is YOU who are foolish!

OTOH, someone living far away from the tri-state area, knows almost nothing whatsoever, about Elliot Spitzer.

[nopardons]

Oh yes, absolutely and that's WHY every poll shows Rudy beating Hillary, I guess. LOL

[Blackirish]

I invoke Godwin's law. The 1st person to compare someone to Hitler or the Nazi's forfeits the debate.

[nopardons]

You have NO idea what a "police state" is.

This is getting really ridiculous...calling people and places things that they are not, destroys the debate. Go get yourself a good dictionary.

[garv]

Bess Myerson was acquitted.

[Lurker]

Rudy is liked a LOT in the South

Maybe by some folks.

Rudy does however scare the crap out of unborn children and gun owners.

The first because Rudy will allow you to be killed right up until seconds before your birth and the second because Rudy thinks the Feds can tell them what kind of firearms they can own.

Rudy is a fraud. He's an anti-Contitution baby killing fraud.

I'm going to enjoy watching him lose the primary.

Failing that, I'll enjoy watching him lose the General.

[nopardons]

Just WHAT companies were taken over by the N.Y.C. government, when Rudy was mayor?

Which groups of people were rounded up and sent to concentration camps and killed, when Rudy was mayor?

Your very sill analogy is patently false and unsubstantiated.

[nopardons]

The SPAM QUEEN returneth! LOL

[nopardons]

Yes, I did "catch it". :-)

[nopardons]

There were two trials. Go look it up.

[nopardons]

You're looking forward to enjoying a Hillary or an Obama or a Richardson presidency, are you? That says quite a LOT about YOU!

What are you going to do, when Rudy IS the president?
