Likewise.
Rudy's got his hand in all the annointed camps of the Pubbie party. There was the Kerek fiasco with Bush wanting to "hep" Rudy grease in a mafia connected Commissioner into Homeland Security, then we got the oil barons pushing Rudy, the same guys who pushed out Delay and brought RINO rule.
Rudy wants to be their liberal "boy."
We have seen what these folks brought the Pubbie Party over the last 7 years, and it ain't all good. Praps only a little of it was good because they folded on illegal aliens and other conservative agenda issues.
Thompson or Hunter would make far better presidents that a T. Boone Pickens nominee.
The Rockefeller wing needs to fully retire in 2009.
We need a true Conservative.
As Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics has pointed out, Rudy is an adherent of the same approach to illegal immigration that John McCain, Ted Kennedy, George Bush, and Harry Reid have championed:
"While McCain has taken heat for his support of comprehensive immigration reform, Rudy is every bit as pro-immigration as McCain - if not more so. On the O'Reilly Factor last week Giuliani argued for a "practical approach" to immigration and cited his efforts as Mayor of New York City to "regularize" illegal immigrants by providing them with access to city services like public education to "make their lives reasonable." Giuliani did say that "a tremendous amount of money should be put into the physical security" needed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants coming across the border, but his overall position on immigration is essentially indistinguishable from McCain's."
That's bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and "America's Mayor" actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:
"When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law."
If you agree with the way that Nancy Pelosi and Company deal with illegal immigration, then you'll find the way that Rudy Giuliani tackles the issue to be right down your alley.
