The Rudy Giuliani Truth File in his own words and deeds

[dirtboy]

It might be time for the Reoublican party to go to war with itself.

Well, Reagan showed the Rockefeller Republicans how to win.

They apparently no longer wish to adhere to Reagan's formula and would rather lose on their own terms than win on Reagan's.

Yet the ones pointing out that folly are the "unappeasables."

[antisocial]

“So the purpose of threads like this is what, then?”

To expose liberals.

[Jake The Goose]

Maybe Fred Thompson will emerge as “Reagan-like”.

I think he might.

I will agree with you in this way.

We do need a candidate that everyone in the party can support.

I agree with that.

If that candidate does not emerge - I suspect the party will turn on itself.

If it does - I hope we come out the back end - better for it.

Risky times right now - risky times.

It’s a process - kind of ugly - but it’s a process.

[Designer II]

So the purpose of threads like this is what, then? Why, to flush out dissenters. Naturally.

As for me, I am gaining knowledge regarding Rudy G., so when I go the my caucus I will know enough to argue with the Rudy sympathizers, and hopefully he will not receive the Republican nomination.

You’re not LOL-ing as much as usual today. :)

I was waiting for you to show up.

Now I have to go fix some RudyBot's diskette drive:

C'ya! :)

[veronica]

That one with the diskette is hilarious. I may use it. :)

[Constitution Day]

Don’t misunderstand me:

I am no fan of Rudy’s. I am liking what Fred Thompson has to say, but he seems like he’s waiting too late to jump in.

However, IF (heaven forfend) the choice is Rudy vs. Hillary, I will think very hard about voting for the person with the (R). I may even end up doing so. But who can say this far out from the election?

As a side note, I attended a local GOP event recently. There were not too many Rudy fans present, just from talking to a bunch of people.

Later,

That one with the diskette is hilarious. I may use it. :)

By all means. If your humor is that twisted, by chance have you ever seen the animated alien version of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive"?

THAT is absolutely hysterical.

Now I really must run. Don't forget your hazmat suit if you venture into certain threads today, LOL

[freedomfiter2]

Do we want to follow their lead - and be guided by the far-right?

What’s usually referred to as the far right is actually the center. There are very few right wingers in the GOP.

[freedomfiter2]

Well, Reagan showed the Rockefeller Republicans how to win.

They apparently no longer wish to adhere to Reagan’s formula and would rather lose on their own terms than win on Reagan’s.

The Rockefeller Republicans don’t care about winning because they are happy with the Democrats.

[dforest]

Now that was amazing. Thats exactly how I pictured it happening!

LOL

[Jake The Goose]

You might be right.

I consider myself to be a centrist in the party.

- NRA member since 1991
- Only voted non-R for POTUS once (Perot) - My bad.
- Very much a fiscal conservative
- I am pro-life (but I understand a woman’s right to choose) - so I am left in tough position
- I am also not socially conservative on many other issues
(live and let live call it)

Many of the social views I see expressed inside FR are very very far to the right to me.

And that’s fine.

The "overwhelming story of Bernie Kerik" is a "wonderful story of success, and it's one that New Yorkers can be very very proud of because he's one of us."

--Rudy Giuliani, who recommended Kerik to the White House, commenting on Kerik's nomination to head Homeland Security [New York Post, Dec 4, 2004]

---

"I am heartbroken, for Bernie, for the President. . . . He was about as qualified as you can be for this job. This doesn't take away from Bernie's heroism, this doesn't take away from his decency."

<blockquote>--Rudy Giuliani commenting on Kerik's withdrawal from nomination to head Homeland Security, [New York Daily News, Dec 12, 2004]

---

"Well, I think that's something I'll explore, you know, privately with Bernie," Giuliani said.

--Rudy Giuliani indicating he would talk to Kerik about his best man and brother working for an allegedly mob-connected company, [New York Daily News, Dec 13, 2004]

 

[Jake The Goose]

Bernie Kerik was (and is) a great man.

He made some poor choices - yes - but to characterize him as you are attempting to do?

Is wrong.

[veronica]

You know Rudy still has a double-digit lead in the Rasmussen 2008 POTUS poll.

You guys aren't gittin' 'er done...:)

[freedomfiter2]

Bernie Kerik was (and is) a great man.

He made some poor choices - yes - but to characterize him as you are attempting to do?

We are the choices that we make. Maybe we make the choices we do because of what we are. Either way Kerik is a lowlife scum.

"But who can say this far out from the election?"

Usually, it is the MSM telling the sheeple whom they should expect will be the next nominee.

As a countermeasure, I plan to attend my local caucus and argue the facts with whoever is trying to nominate a liberal.

[Jake The Goose]

You’re wrong.

NYC owes that man a generation of thanks and respect.

But you have the right of your opinion.

[freedomfiter2]

NYC owes that man a generation of thanks and respect.

For stealing the use of an apartment intended for the use of 911 workers so he could bed his slut?

[Constitution Day]

Well, best of luck, but I daresay that the average voter has never and will never attend a local caucus.

It's a pity. Most people will listen to the media, I'm afraid.
