Note the way they don't mention that the exhibit Rudy found offensive was the Madonna covered withe elephant dung and he didn't think public funding should be provided to a Museum exhibiting this. Sure conservatives agree with his actions.

I forgot to include the paragraph that discusses the superior RESULTS he got.
"It was often harrowing to watch, but the results were astonishing. It turned out that a mayor actually could change the life of the metropolis. Gone was the daily barrage of panhandling, public urination and car thievery that had become central to every New Yorker's life. Crime plummeted. The sense of menace that permeated the streets gradually lifted. The economic benefits cascaded: Business boomed, and minority communities left for dead for half a century started flowering."
So RUDY IS A LEADER WHO GETS RESULTS.
So was Joe Stalin.
That was an interesting article if you click through to read it all.
You get the picture of a bull in the china shop kind of guy. He gets stuff done right, but he breaks a lot of stuff in the process.
And he doesn't care about the broken stuff.
Feel the sweet embrace of authority. I guess the government is our best friend now. All will kneel.
It's Time to "Rino" with Rudy Whiskey
Industry News, 16 March, 2007
After busting on the scene with a flash and a bang all the rage is now Rudy . Why? Because we wan't to win...really bad! We don't care about Guns, abortions or the homosexual agenda we JUST WANT TO WIN DAMNIT!
No sir, no more value votes for us! Just beating Hillary is all that matters. So drink yours today and it will help wash the taste right out of your mouth!
Rudy whiskey will make you want to throw away your guns and dress like a woman! Good Stuff!
Hey I like Rudy for the various conservative things he did for NYC but I believe this is a WP push piece written to support WP push polls.
If it ain't Tancredo or Newt, I ain't voting. I've had enough of GOP RINOS as in "Bush is the best moderate Democrat in years."
The exhibit was the Virgin Mary surrounded by small vaginas and covered with elephant dung.
May people found it offensive. POS liberal media.
That isn't the case with me, so he's much less appealing.
Rudy does get some socon issues right.
And spare me the trite "if you don't support Rudy you support Hillary" BS. That was worn out when talking about Arnold, and it carries no weight with me.
One big issue that has been overlooked with regard to both of these stories is the fact that they demonstrate how far off the charts New York City is compared to the rest of this country. The city is such a bastion of Marxism that it is one of the few places where a public official would even be in a position to have any say over what goes on in an art museum, or in a concert hall.
Kirtzman must have an open mind... when it comes to feces. That's all his article is worth.
Im pro-choice. Im 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 dont see my position on that changing, he responded.

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.

They could take lessons on hitting Rudy from Freepers.
The kind of President Rudy Giuliani would be:
(1). He'd be a pro-abortion, (including partial birth abortion), champion.
(2). He'd be a pro-homosexual pervert's rights President.
(3). He'd be a pro-Affirmative Action President.
(4). He'd be a pro-illegal alien President.
(5). He'd be an anti-2nd Amendment, gun-grabbing President.
(6). He'd be a President with absolutely zero foreign policy experience.
(7). He'd be a President with a long history of appointing liberal judges.
(8). He would probably beat Hillary Clinton, which, apparently, is the only thing that matters to a whole lot of Republicans.
From the my reading of the article, I'd say it would be the Democrats and their allies in the media who would be the ones in the bunker.
