Giuliani campaigns in Newport Beach (and outlines his positions)
Daily PIlot ^ | March 24, 2007 | Amanda Pennington and Alicia Robinson

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani led off with his strongest card, his terrorism-fighting credentials, before touching on healthcare, immigration and energy policy in a speech to a welcoming crowd Saturday.

"Sept. 11, 2001, taught me — and I believe it taught a lot of people, including President Bush — that we have to remain on offense," Giuliani said. "That means that we have to use our military. We can't show weakness."

Giuliani seemed to hit all the right notes Saturday, getting applause when he criticized Democrats' stance on healthcare and advocated vouchers for schools.

On immigration, he told reporters he doesn't support amnesty for illegal immigrants, but he could support a guest worker program if there were adequate border security and tamper-proof ID cards. He said that even if illegal immigrants "can demonstrate that they are lawful, that they are paying taxes [and] that they'll pay penalties," they still shouldn't be put ahead of people who go through legal channels.

"And citizenship here, if it's earned, should be premised on being able to read and write English and understand American history, so we restore assimilation to the process of immigration," he said.

"Nothing will unite the Republicans more than a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," Curry said.

You know there are some RINO websites out there where the Rudyites protect each other from "bothersome" conservatives.

Let' em go elsewhere.

They aren't conservatives, so why would they want to be on a conservative forum?

Reagan's message from 1975 was very clear:

"Let Them Go Their Way"

I will do exactly that. I will vote in the primary in my state, to keep Rudy out of the White House!

Maybe it'll work out for ya. Maybe not.

Very telling. What I take from this is that as far as you are concerned, Rudy is the ONLY acceptable candidate (regardless of who can win the general election).

The way I see it, about 15% of FReepers support Rudy

They may only be 15% but they post enough for 90% (which is probably their intention)
