"If I am going to hate a president, I don't want it to be one with the Republican label"
Then you will have a wonderful time "hating" President Hillary.
"Guliiani is really a Libertarian "
Would a libertarian take away guns?
"Would a libertarian take away guns?"
No.
And neither would Rudy.
"No.
And neither would Rudy."
Well, you might take him at his word, but I look at his record of past actions as a better indicator of his future actions.
Wonder if the NRA and GOA have evaluated him yet?
What do you mean, 22 months from now Rudy is going to be fully exposed as the RINO he is. Rudy is way liberal for most redstate Republican primary voters.
I'm sincerely wondering whether a liberal (PIAPS) who will galvanize and focus a united, 24/7, out-for-blood opposition party will really be worse than a liberal (Rudy) who will get an uneasy pass from both parties.
1. After eight years as Mayor, NY remained a high tax socialist hellhole. There goes his "fiscal conservative" bonafides.
2. Has a long history of questionable friends (Bernie Kerick, Ray Harding). There goes the "honesty" card.
3. Has a history of abandoning women when a new gal catches his eye. At least BC remained married. There goes the "moral integrity" card.
4. Lived with two gay roomates after divorce. Not that there's anything wrong with it. ;-)
5. Is on the record CONDEMNING the 1996 immigration reforms and Prop 187, stating that "NY thrives because of immigrants, documented and UNdocumented. There goes the "securing our borders card."
6. Has a history of being vehemently anti-gun, claiming that the 2nd amendment allows for "reasonable regulation." Of course, this is fitting for a law and order fetishist.
7. The last point illustrates that he has little understanding of "original intent."
8. Pro-abortion.
9. Governed a city where the majority of inhabitants are either effete yuppies, third world immigrants, or the children of the latter. There goes the "I am an American" card.
10. Has said NOTHING about foreign policy, other than superficial sound bites and Likud Party talking points (plagiarist!). So much for "Mr. National Security."
11. Had VERY low approval ratings until 9/11 happenned, due to a lack of ethics, and clumsy handling of police shootings. There goes the "competance" card.
"Well, you might take him at his word, but I look at his record of past actions as a better indicator of his future actions."
What past actions?
NYC where he cut homicides from 2600 yr. to 800?
He has already said that the actions he took in NYC have nothing to do with his overall gun policy.
I trust him, you don't have to.
You can take it up with President Rodham.
Then enjoy living under President Clinton, or whomever the Dems put up.
Only if we're stupid enough to put forth Rudy Guilianni as our candidate. And it won't be my fault.
