.let's just say that that it has the aroma of opportunism.

Howzabout we just say that he's another typical career politician who will say anything and do anything it takes to get the political power which that kind of person lusts after.

If that means supporting the "right" of the abortion industry's version of Murder Incorporated to kill innocent babies for profit, well, ya know sometimes you just gotta go with what works for ya.

I though I had.

Just do a quick search and you'll fins like 10 posts on the recent Hannity interview.

The This Week interview was from the Week of February 6th, 2000.

"So far what I've seen is waffling on abortion in a very Kerry-esque manner"

Is his "waffling" on abortion also Reagan-esque since Reagan passed the most liberal abortion laws in the country as Governor of California?

That is what makes Rudy's pronouncements regarding the SCOTUS so important.

That is where Rowe v. Wade will eventually be settled.

And it is good to know that Rudy will appoint men like Scalia and Roberts to the court.

Candidates that NARAL NY supports:

Giuliani for Senate - Republican - $1,000

Rudy is NARAL's favorite Republican.

Let's see, Rudy refused to take money from the Saudis because of their support for those who take innocent human lives but he does accept money from NARAL even though it also supports groups that take innocent human lives. Rudy aren't you being a bit two-faced here?

This is a partial transcript from "Hannity & Colmes,"

July 20, 2005, that has been edited for clarity.

Watch "Hannity & Colmes" weeknights at 9 p.m. ET!

ALAN COLMES, CO-HOST: If Judge John Roberts is confirmed, he will serve as the nation's 109th Supreme Court justice. What does his career tell us about the kind of justice he would be?

Joining us now, the former mayor of New York City, Rudolph Giuliani (search).

Rudy, good to see you, Mr. Mayor.

RUDOLPH GIULIANI, FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: Good to see you.

COLMES: You know him.

GIULIANI: I do.

COLMES: What do you know about him? How well do you know him?

GIULIANI: I know him from kind of the beginning of his career, when he was — right after he clerked for Justice Rehnquist, he came to work in the Justice Department (search). He worked for Attorney General Smith. That was his first job after clerking. And I knew him then. I knew him all throughout the time that he worked in the White House. He's a remarkable candidate. I mean, there is nothing in his background that doesn't say "superb qualifications for the Supreme Court." His education, his academic performance, the extraordinary fact that he's argued 39 times before the Supreme Court. Very few people get confirmed...

(CROSSTALK)

COLMES: Now, on abortion — now, you are pro-choice, right?

GIULIANI: Yes.

COLMES: You're a pro-choice Republican.

GIULIANI: I am.

COLMES: Now, Roe vs. Wade -- You are pro-choice. How important is it to you as a pro-choice Republican to have a pro-choice on the court as someone...

GIULIANI: That is not the critical factor. And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And he fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category. I mean, she was — she maybe came at it from a very different political background, very qualified lawyer, very smart person. Lots of Republicans supported her. I expect, and listening to Senator Nelson, I expect that John Roberts will get support from a lot of Democrats.

GIULIANI: Sure. That's be exactly the kind of person you'd think that you'd want to appoint, somebody who shares kind of your general outlook, but hasn't indicated and hasn't really predetermined most of the cases that are going to be determined by the court. Presidents, going back to the beginning of the republic, generally appoint people on the Supreme Court that they believe agree with them.

These are Guiliani's own words. Ignore them at your peril.

Rudy is a pro abortion, second amendment trampling, pro illegal alien, queer special rights liberal. Those are the judges he will appoint. Those are the kind of judges he feels comfortable with.

And it is good to know that Rudy will appoint men like Scalia and Roberts to the court.

Your statement is pure supposition. Stop repeating it as if it were truth.

"Rudy Giuliani Says He Backs Pro-Life Laws But Supports Legal Abortion."

Isn't that called "speaking out of both sides of your mouth"? Which side are we to believe?

"Your statement is pure supposition. Stop repeating it as if it were truth."

It's called trust.

I trust Rudy but you don't.

So what's the big deal?

Just don't support him.

How can you be pro-death penalty and against abortion? Ending life is ending life.

I would just like to continue to remind folks how important involvement is. If you like Duncan Hunter's stance DON'T LISTEN to naysayers. They seek to instigate a self fulfilling prophecy of discouragement. Yuck!

Instead sign up and support Duncan Hunter. If someone else better comes along there is no dishonor in changing later.

Please go to www.GoHunter08.com and volunteer and/or donate.

Also, Duncan has a strong following here on Free Republic, so join in by voting for him in the Free Republic straw poll: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=170

"I will be much more than merely unenthusiastic, I will be so disgusted with the GOP that I will either vote for a pro-life 3rd party nominee in protest or just skip over the presidential portion of the ballot altogether. One thing I will never, ever do is knowingly vote for any candidate for any office at any level who demonstrates such a total lack of character and respect for human life that he or she will support allowing the American holocaust to continue, a holocaust that has already murdered 8 times more innocent human beings than were killed in Hitler's death camps."

I share your passion.

We need to tell our friends to vote in the primaries so we aren't faced with such a choice.

I wonder how long before Rudi starts telling Democrats to cross over and vote for him in the Republican primaries. It's one of the marks of the true liberal who can't win in Republican states otherwise.

I think that liberal Dems will vote for the Dem candidate, and many conservatives will vote 3rd party or stay home.

In NYS they put out liberal RINOs, and they were slaughtered in the election. Again, why would a liberal Dem vote for for a liberal RINO?

My 1 1/2 cents.
