"What part of the article is not true? Does truth only apply to publications that you personally approve?"

Then you must be on board also with this neo-Communist publication's mantra to "IMPEACH CHANEY THEN BUSH". With Rudy there's no accusation of anything illegal. Just innuendos. There's nothing new in this 2004 article or your Newsday article.

If guilt by association is your cup of tea, then we all are guilty. Give us a break.

[Republic Rocker]

Many valid points yet many silly analogies. The this % and that % stuff being the most silly........

If you want to get real honest blame your man Bush for the perspective America now has as a voting block. It's going to be more centrist if not slightly left. It is a reaction to the bungles and misdeeds of the present man in office. It is a natural reaction. And we will pay for it this time around.

So that said.... no Duncan Hunter is winning the White House. Be true to yourselves and vote that way. It may take a Hillary 4 year term to change the tide back in our direction

[afnamvet]

Well reasoned and well said.

" than those principles which are clearly defined by Divine revelation and proven over time to be paramount- "

Funny, I get a different Divine revelation out of the Bible and it has precious little to do with aligning federal law with Puritanical bigotry.

I won't miss you guys either when you pack your bags and find some nutjob 3rd party that embraces secular enforcement of a specific religious interpretation. Maybe after that, we in the GOP can get back to the issue of limiting federal power, reach, and wealth. Lord knows those issues have been neglected completely in the wake of this failed, and *painfully embarassing* religious coup.

I hear the Taliban has good, "conservative" responses to gays, abortions, and adultery. Check out of Qu'ran maybe you'll find some inspiration for your psuedo-crusade of morally judging people through secular law.

I don't like the slamming of him or anyone else people support here and wish it would stop. In all fairness though, have you ever chucked about the picture of "Carey in the bunny suit"?

[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

I think an explanation on how you arrived at the 20% conservative statistics might be in order. Anyone can draw a number out of the air and it seems to me that is what you did.

[Little Ray]

Anybody who trusts Rudy's promises on judges is a fool. A guy who supports abortion and believes the 2nd Amendment is about hunting wouldn't know original intent or "strict constuctionism" if it bit him on the @$$.

[babygene]

"Hillary for Pres is so comforting to me.........."

The answer to that is, don't vote for Rudy in the primaries. Because if he wins in the primaries, you WILL get Hillary. That's a lead pipe cinch.

[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

That is just darn sad.

[James Ewell Brown Stuart]

That is fine and that is your right. If you feel that you need to vote third party then have to.

[TommyDale]

So because it was said in 2004, now Kerik and Giuliani should be looked upon as if they have changed their character? You still cannot deny that the story is true. Giuliani is not suited to select someone to run the Homeland Security, and his business partners and dealings are a sham.

Is this really the best America can come up with for a Presidential candidate? Get serious. If Rudy has this much opposition from his own party, can you imagine the crap that will be tossed at him from the Democrats?

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks for he one-time ping.

Rudy is low on my list, but I don't bear him any animosity. I'm glad he's a Republican actually, he might be much more dangerous as a Democrat.

The Republicans in general have been disappointing enough that I may change my affiliation to independent, but I have to investigate how that impacts my voting status in Colorado primaries.

[Lakeshark]

No one has shown that to be true. Explain why that is true please. It seems it is mostly a few posters here that would not vote for him under any circumstances, and that is just plain stupid in my opinion.

[ruination]

You clearly haven't got the slightest idea what the Statue of Liberty is all about.

The Statue of Liberty was an 1886 gift from the French. According to the National Park Service, it was given "in recognition of the friendship established during the American Revolution" and "to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence." Is that inaccurate?

[George W. Bush]

If Rudy is the answer, you're asking the wrong question.

[WalterSkinner]

I won't miss you guys either when you pack your bags..

..stay tuned, kaotic, you just may get your wish

Sounds like you have some serious issues with religious conservatives--sorry to upset your world...

[dirtboy]

I hear the Taliban has good, "conservative" responses to gays, abortions, and adultery. Check out of Qu'ran maybe you'll find some inspiration for your psuedo-crusade of morally judging people through secular law.

That's the kind of crap I expect to see on DU - comparing Christian values towards abortion to the Taliban. The fact that Rudy boosters are resorting to such speaks volumes about them and their candidate.

[babygene]

" To call him a cross dresser is the height of absurdity. And to say he is effete - asinine. "

For a politician that expects to run for office anywhere other than N.Y. or Ca, it shows extremely poor judgment.

[mkjessup]

An excellent post FRiend, my first reaction was to see if you would like me to drop ship a few bottles of Absorbine Jr. to you for your hands and fingers, that's a LOT o' typing pal! lol

You hit the major issues about Giuliani and I mentioned in another thread that one reason I think we're seeing this frenzy about Rudy Guiliani is mostly due to the combination of his 9/11 image and the fact that he is a very talented speaker, he knows how to deliver a powerful speech, and that is a vital tool that no candidate can be without.

(Even though he is a Democrat, I sadly recall the somewhat lack of exciting speechmaking talent in Senator John Glenn, who should have been able to parlay his positive image as the first American to orbit the Earth and one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts into a successful presidential run for the White House. But listening to him deliver a speech was painful, I felt bad for him.)

But back to topic, Rudy Guiliani also has an extra advantage over any other Republican candidate, which is FIRST name recognition. You say 'RUDY' and 99 out of 100 people are going to know who you're talking about, just as when you say 'HILLARY', those same people know exactly who Mrs. Bill Clinton is, (and many of those people will make the sign of the Cross and reach for a chunk o' garlic, lol)

But name recognition and great speechmaking abilities aren't enough.

That is why I'm going for the workhorse, not the showhorse, and supporting Congressman Duncan Hunter of California.

[Lakeshark]

Now that kind of attitude will help a lot..../sarcasm
