but seemed to suggest that he would be more willing to use it than his Democratic rivals.

just as much seemed to suggest he would be non-committal. Populist like Miller, right?

One thing Rudy is not afraid of is terrorists . . .

Really?

The one time before 9/11 when Rudy Giuliani had to deal with terrorism in New York City -- the 1997 shootings on the observation deck of the Empire State Building by a Palestinian malcontent -- he couldn't even bring himself to call the guy a freakin' "terrorist."

In fact, within 48 hours the perpetrator wasn't even an issue anymore -- as Mr. Giuliani took it upon himself to turn the issue into a campaign prop for his anti-gun agenda.

That's a good link, still can't support the guy though.

Dennis Miller may be just as good an articulator of the threat facing our country as Rudy.

Miller for VEEP!

Oh by the way - every Mayor of NYC marches in the Gay Pride Parade. It's tradition. They may not like it but they have to do it.

How many of the 100 plus mayors of NYC have been forced to march in the GPP?

That's okay - I don't expect any of the anti-Rudy people to. By the way here is a couple more people that Rudy is not afraid of. I understand you don't like Rudy but one thing Rudy is now is a coward!

- Rudy did the same to Fidel Castro at a Dinner.
Answers.com Personalities – Rudy Giuliani

- When a Saudi prince donated millions to 9/11 relief efforts and later suggested that United States policy in the Middle East may have been partially responsible for the attacks, Rudy returned the money.
CNN

- Rudy refused to meet with racial arsonist Al Sharpton.

If there's one thing that most FReepers have in common, it's that they wouldn't make it 15 minutes in politics. "My way or the highway" doesn't work when you're in the business of compromise. Especially when you're holding lousy cards, like we are.

Now=Not!

[areafiftyone]

Especially when you're holding lousy cards, like we are.

Yup! They seem to be in denial about that though! That's a big problem.

Look, if you're going to attack people's arguments, attack the ones they're making, not the ones you wish they were making...

He undoubtedly would, if he thought his argument had any weight...draw your own conclusions.

No One forces them - it's just good policy to do it. Mayors march in most parades in NYC. Actually Mayor Giuliani marched with the Log Cabin Republicans and would not march past St. Patrick's Cathedral with them.

They may not like it but they have to do it.

Boy, that is real leadership right there.

[areafiftyone]

Is that all you guys obsess about? Gays?

[areafiftyone]

He's good. He said he is going to be campaigning with Rudy. This should be fun!

Oh by the way - every Mayor of NYC marches in the Gay Pride Parade. It's tradition. They may not like it but they have to do it.

He seemed pretty gay(happy) in the pictures he was cross-dressed in. He probably reeeealy hated living with those 2 gay(homo) guys after his divorce too.

[kinoxi]

Now=Not
:) it happens...

[Boston Blackie]

They may not like it but they have to do it.

Sounds like they are forced to march in the gpp. Once again, how many of the 100 plus mayors of NYC have marched in this traditional parade?

[Little Ray]

Okay. Thats the way for Guiliani to go. If he keeps it up, and is sufficiently inspiring, I might vote for him.
He needs to keep working in this vein, and stay far, far away from his social views and personal peccadilloes.

[areafiftyone]

How would I know? I'm not going to do the research for you. Since you are obsessed with Gays and the Gay pride Parade find out for yourself!

Chicago Mayors have been marching in the Gay Pride Parade (and almost every group's parade) for a long time. It is simply practical politics in urban areas. You are not only looking for votes (some gays are conservative), but you are also looking to avoid making enemies with a powerful urban political bloc.

The parade can be a disgusting spectacle of perversity, but when I am in a tolerant mood I think of it as a bunch of overamped homosexuals making fun of themselves and everyone else. If the want to bf each other and wear outrageous costumes, that's their business - as long as they leave kids and animals out of it. (Oh! The poor gerbils!)
