THE ISSUE: Caroline Giuliani's support for Sen. Barack Obama

All Repubs want to know is this:
When did Jooty register as a Republican?
How many PA Repubs did Jooty vote for?
As a NYC resident, did Jooty vote for Mayor Rooty?
Did Jooty vote for GWB?
The Washington Post recently reported that one of his companies, Giuliani Capital Advisors "was sold for an undisclosed amount as Giuliani was preparing his run for president." The Post article also discloses that Giuliani’s secretive lobbying firm, Giuliani Partners, has made more than $100 million over the last five years and that Giulaini's clients "are required to sign confidentiality agreements, so they do not comment about the work they receive or how much they are paying for it.
Though now running for president, Giuliani refuses to identify his clients, disclose his compensation, or reveal any details about Giuliani Partners. He also declined to be interviewed about the firm."
The paper provided some details, based "on a review of corporate, government and court records, along with scores of interviews with clients and government officials who have interacted with Giuliani Partners."

MORE BACKGROUND Giuliani firm has Venezuela ties

The law firm headlined by presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani does business with a company tied to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez, who has called President Bush ``the devil.'' Bracewell & Giuliani lobbies on behalf of Texas-based Citgo Petroleum, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan oil company controlled by Chávez. The Bush administration said last year that Venezuela was ''not cooperating fully'' with antiterrorism efforts, stopping one step short of grouping the country with state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria and Cuba. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor best known for his leadership after the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, does not personally lobby for Citgo, though he is a senior partner at the firm and shares in its profits.

===============================
Global Rooty can't seem to get the message----a candidate who does not perceive issues through the prism of the red, white, and blue, gets his walking papers. So, let me be the first to tell Rooty----"thanks, but no thanks."
Hey, I don’t trust a damn person in politics anymore, liberal or conservative. I trusted George W. Bush with my money and my vote twice only to be stabbed in the back. As far as I’m concerned, they can all go jump in a lake.
When I look at 2008, I see two categories of candidates. Those who would be my worst nightmare, and those who I wouldn’t like but can learn to live with.
“And dieing instantly from a gunshot to the head is better than dieing slowly from cancer or AIDS”
And either of those choices would be better at this point than having to put up with any of the crappy candidates on the ballot as president for the next 4-8 years.
Not so sure. That's why I can never support him.
Great job Liz as always.
Yes, but that's easy to say, of course, because it will never be an issue.
Ronald Reagan had two natural children with Nancy that were libs and didn’t support his policies.
The difference is that Reagan was an actual conservative. Rudy's kids are just doing so because they hate him.
Hey. I didn’t say I’m a Rudy fantaic or anything like that. He won’t get a dime from me. Neither will Thompson for that matter. But when I go into vote if I have to choose between Rudy & Hillary, I will take Rudy.
It is good to see political rationality.
You maybe willing to live with Giuliani as your leader. Not me.
Informed conservatives want no part of Rooty and his liberalism.
Great post! Thanks for the ping.

You’re very welcome.
If people want to vote for a pro-war LIBERAL, they should be pushing Joe Lieberman, Dick Gephardt or Tom Daschle. They all support the war, Gephardt and Daschle have a BETTER pro-life record than Roody and all three of them are married to their original wives and get along with their children.
Well then that’s your choice, bud.
True, however, I'm not the only one who opposes Rooty, pal. If you hadn't noticed, support for Rudy Giuliani on FR isn't welcome.
Apparently not on Free Republic. I will vote for either Rudy or Thompson if they wind up being the Republican nominee. But it seems like on here I can’t see anything even slightly positive about Rudy without being accused of being a troll or a closet liberal. Likewise, I can’t even make the slightest criticism about Fred Thompson without the same thing happening.
I should probably just leave FR. My thoughts are obviously not welcome here. GOODBYE!!!
Fine. Screw you. I’m gone!!!
RudyBoostering is well accepted over at the WAnkers website. Sounds like you’d fit right in.
Bye bye.

Bracewell & Giuliani Firm Advises Cintra in First Privatization of Toll Road in Texas
DALLAS March 1, 2007
Bracewell & Giuliani LLP advised Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A., a Spanish transportation company, in its successful bid to develop State Highway 121 into a toll road through Collin and Denton counties.
The award to Cintra, approved by the Texas Transportation Commission, is the first privatization of a Texas toll road. Bracewell is acting as project counsel to Cintra with respect to the 50-year concession from the Texas Department of Transportation.
Cintra will pay a $2.1 billion upfront and annual lease payments totaling $700 million. "Cintra was awarded this project because of its proven expertise and competitive proposal," said?Thomas O. Moore, partner with Bracewell & Giuliani. "This is the largest transportation deal of 2007. This is one of only five deals in the country."
Three firms have competed for the Comprehensive Development Agreement for State Highway 121 since last summer. The proposals were reviewed and scored based on selection criteria set forth by the Regional Transportation Council, the metropolitan planning agency for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This CDA is a public-private partnership that allows the provider to handle all facets of developing the toll road, including completing construction and operating and maintaining the corridor.
Cintra, a subsidiary of Grupo Ferrovial specialized in toll roads and car parks, is one of the world's leading private-sector developers of transport infrastructure.
