How many civil servant unions in NYC have endorsed a Republican for President?

Posting his record would suffice.
Going Lawrence O’ Donnell has the opposite effect.

Bay Shore and the Heights.

I recall Rudy marching proudly in the gay parades. Does he still?

Rudy marched in gay parades but he also shut down the Adonis Theatre.

I have this image of Rudy scared of Hillary and that is why he failed to run against her.

Probably, but technically he's still in the closet. It's apparently been Hillary's plan to out him as a bisexual AFTER he gets the nomination. That's not going to happen, though.

The people you quote support Hillary for president so your dissemination of their propaganda is suspicious. Are you a NYC civil servant union member?

My understanding of liberal NYCity hasn't changed over the years and neither has NYCity. Its still based on a conservative perspective that I learned a long time ago. Having seen liberalism first hand, I've been well informed to know the differences between rightwing and leftwing politics. Your continued defense of Giuliani speaks to your less than conservative politics.

I will always write negatively about liberals, period. That indludes the full fledged, life long liberal named --- Rooty Giuliani. You can count on it too.

Btw, Ed Meese appointed Giuliani, not Reagan. And it wasn't a political appointment either.

Rudy didn’t run against Hillary because he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had started chemotherapy treatments.

Not much difference between Rudy and Hillary except during the election the media will harp on Rudy’s baggage while make Hillary look like the protector of family values.

I quoted an ex-detective who developed a board game. The NYPD members, from what I gather reading their rant board, are overwhelmingly Republicans. They do not see Guiliani as a Republican.

It’s none of you business what I do for a living.

Well, it was years of planning, but Rudy was the only one who was finally able to implement it and put conditions in place, such as getting rid of the hot and cold running hookers, that permitted it to develop. He did this by picking good police chiefs (with whom he almost always fought!) and by enlisting popular support in cleaning up neighborhoods.

I wouldn’t vote for him for president because I don’t think he has the scope, and he’s way too liberal, but he was a very good mayor of NY at a difficult time.

Yet he has gone on the limb defending one category of criminals: illegal aliens. His comments on the fence were absurd.

This does not make Rudy suitable to be president.

Why are you reading NYC civil servant union publications in the first place if you’re not a NYC civil servant union member?

I agree with you, he tried to rationalize it by saying that if the police checked the status of aliens then they would be reluctant to report crimes against them.

I am not a fan of his except for his, except for the illegals, law and order stance.
