I voted for Forbes back in ‘96 and just saw him speak a few weeks ago in Phoenix. The man has incredible ideas and infectious optimism. Rudy is very lucky to have his support.

Forbes made a vanity run for President in 1996 as a pro-abortion candidate. He made another in 2000, saying that he had had a conversion to the pro-life cause. Now he is backing Rudy Giuliani. I guess his conversion was short lived!

Forbes: Rudy can deliver ‘blue state’ streak

http://news.bostonherald.com/news/2008/view.bg?articleid=1063389

In Boston after a day in New Hampshire stumping for Giuliani, the Forbes magazine titan said he thinks Giuliani would fare better in a general election because he’s the only Republican in the field who could swing traditionally Democratic states such as New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and California.

“Rudy Giuliani puts every single blue state into play,” Forbes told the Herald. “He puts everything in play and that’s the way a Republican can win. The problem with Mitt Romney is he doesn’t put any blue states into play. He’d have trouble in Massachusetts.”

Despite disagreeing with Giuliani on some social issues —most notably Giuliani’s support of abortion rights — Forbes said he’s backing the former mayor because of the job he did cleaning up New York City. Forbes, whose media empire is headquartered in Manhattan, said he saw “firsthand” the job Giuliani did in helping reduce crime, cut welfare and control government spending.

“He’s a doer. When he puts his mind to something, he’s relentless,” said Forbes, who ran for president in 1996 and 2000. “He’s not afraid of a fight.”

Rudy sure fits a democrat profile!

IT is for the planned murder of the most helpless!
IT is a big gun control nut!
IT covered for the invaders in ITS city!
IT surrounds ITself with queers and thugs!

Why does IT have an R by ITS name instead of a D?

I always liked Teve Torbes but it’s disappointing to see him on the Giuliani bandwagon.
