You wouldn't know it from reading the papers, but the favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination is a confirmed right-winger. On issues such as free speech and religion, secrecy and due process, civil rights and civil liberties, pornography and democracy, this moralist and self-styled lawman has exhibited all the key hallmarks of Bush-era conservatism.
That candidate is Rudolph W. Giuliani.
As any New Yorker can tell you, the last word anyone in the 1990s would have attached to the brash, furniture- breaking mayor was "liberal" -- and the second-to-last was "moderate." With his take-many-prisoners approach to crime and his unerring pro-police instincts, the prosecutor-turned-proconsul made his mark on the city not by embracing its social liberalism but by trying to crush it.

Exactly. I don’t want to be told that I can’t go to church or that I must go. I despise authoritarians of any stripe.
Hillary is a POS. Now that that is out of the way, someday when you have the time, take a look at the expansion of government power that has taken place in GOP administrations.
Look at things like McCain Feingold CFR, Ted Kennedy’s No Child Left Behind, Greedy Geezer Drug Bill, the proposed (multiple times) amnesty for illegals, The USA PATRIOT Act, etc, etc, etc.
You won’t have to go back too far. These are all things that the Compassionate Conservative signed into law and / or advocated. What do you really expect to be better from an outright liberal who is trying to pretend to be a conservative? Any conversion that you think that you are seeing are illusory and will vanish before Rudy would take the oath of office.
You know, it is people such as yourself, pimping that made-up whore Guiliani that have fog on your brains.
You people saying “Vote for Rudy, he sucks (slightly) less that Cankles” appear to be under the sevely mistaken impression that it is entirely possible to, with your bare hand, pick up a turd by the clean end.
“...romney are both pro-life pro family values.”
During this election cycle, maybe but that has not been his position consistently over the years.
Tootyfruityrudy is a Socialist.
Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

Thanks for this post.
I concur...
Ditto.
Best comment of the day!!!!!
Thank you.
Denial, spin, and BS.
He broke the law and encouraged illegals to come to his city. When you put out sugar, you better expect ants. If Rudy was smart enough to see the consequences of his actions, he didn’t deserve to be mayor and surely doesn’t deserve to be POTUS.
BRAVO!
Well said.
If Hillary (or any other POS traitor) tries to unilaterally do what you claim, will you just shut up and obey? OR will actually use your ‘talons’ to fight back instead of the fear mongering that you are doing now?
So Rudy can expect their endorsement again soon as well as that of the DNC, right?
How close was that race? Could the outcome have been different if the Liberal Party did endorse the Dem challenger?
Interesting tactic. . .
If you can’t persuade, insult.
How’s that working for you?
I don’t see any conversions.
So then if insults and disgusting drama queen antics don’t work, then you fall back to name calling.
You don’t have Eagle’s Talons, you have the claws of a scared little kitten.
