<>" Some of us appreciate a candidate who is honest enough not to lie or flip flop on issues.......I’d rather have a President I can trust not to lie to me, even if I don’t buy into all his beliefs."

=========================

I was raised to believe that a man is only as good as his word, and Rudy has demonstrated that his word is worthless when it somes to making sacred vows unto death in front of God and man.

I cannot trust someone with this pattern of behavior.

Besides this he is an enemy to the US Constitution and to conservatism.

"It appears that the extreme religious right does not have anywhere near the influence with the voters they pretend to have. In fact, their disdain is a political plus for Rudy, even in the primary. The only question remaining is whether the religious right wants to have its phone calls answered after the election."

================================

You wish.

Rudy is now officially marginalized here on FR, and his few bots and operatives that remain are soon to follow.

Mrs. Clinton better watch her own six. Obama is gaining on her.

As for Mr. Mayor, let’s take his messy personal life off the table for the moment and just look at the issues.

Even if Rudy’s support of taxpayer-funded abortion on demand weren’t bad enough (and it is!), there’s also his position against firearms owners, his support for the gay agenda and his defiance of U.S. immigration laws by declaring NYC a sanctuary for illegal invaders.

Social conservatives may let Giuliani slide on one of these issues, but not on all four. Most conservatives aren’t yet fully aware of Rudy’s radical liberal positions on guns, gays, abortion and illegal immigration.

According to a Newsweek survey, 34 percent of Republican voters polled and 38 percent of social conservatives are aware he is pro-choice on abortion. And 51 percent of all Republican voters and 49 percent of social conservatives aren’t sure where he stands on the issue. On gun control,
just 17 percent of all Republican voters polled and 19 percent of social conservatives are aware he’s a supporter of gun control. Sixty-seven percent of Republican voters polled (66% of social conservatives) aren’t sure of his stand. Only 16 percent of all Republican voters polled and 15 percent of social conservatives are aware that Giuliani opposes a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage; (70% overall and 72% of social conservatives are not aware of his position).

As Hizzoner’s positions on the issues become more commonly known among the GOP base, his support will decline. There’s still penty of time before the first Republican primary for voters to learn where Rudy is on these issues.
