ARLINGTON, VA -- Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani today issued the following statement:
"We don't need someone who voted against funding our troops during war to take my remarks out of context. Like the President I wholeheartedly support our troops. If John Edwards is looking for someone who is blaming our troops without the facts, he need look no further than his running mate, John Kerry."
CHA and CHING.
So Edwards thought it was a good idea to go after Rudy? What a doofus.
I have been seriously impressed with Rudi through this whole campaign. I have to admit that all I knew of him before this was that he cleaned up NYC from a cesspool to what it was previously (a lib haven). But since I don't have the desire to visit a cesspool OR a lib haven, I never paid much attention.
2008 is a long way away, but I think Rudi could fit right into the Whitehouse after our President Bush serves his second term.
They already polled him in NY at the RNC and he beats Hitlery THERE. If libs can't win NY theres no freaking possible way in @#$% they can win the USA.
Baddaging, baddaboom.
Rudy is a 'tough on crime' . He's a gun-grabbing statist who considers every LEGAL gun owner as much a danger to society as a crack-addict armed robber. Then we have the 'tiny fact' that his stance on abortion is about equal to any Dem, including partial birth.
As such, if Rudy was ever to run on a national ticket, it would result in the biggst landslide victory the RATS ever had. It would surpass LBJ's landslide win over Goldwater. Rudy would 'win' NY and maybe CA, that's it.
Rudy should stay in NY - period.
Baloney.
IMHO, he's fine .. (not GREAT) for NEW YORK, but the best conservatives can hope for in that area.
But please don't get behind a movement to take him national.
If Edwards was president we'd be in deep s**t.
Girlie-man (gay?) Edwards trial lawyer bull-feces doesn't seem to play well in the real world.
heres a guy to watch as a future presidential candidate, Gov
Rick Perry of Texas. He said today that Texas WILL NOT
observe United Nations day....my kinda guy.
I just did a Houston search for this news - can you give me a link? TIA
See post #9
Sadly, that alone will make him DOA with MSM if/when he tries to go national.
But, IMHO, he's 180 degrees wrong on Rudy's national appeal. I think he would do very well indeed against Hitlery, but of course our continued march towards Big Government Party II would continue and be accelerated.
And as to his 'National Appeal'; right now I believe most of America only knows him for what he did after 9-11. When and if all his positions are known, I believe he'd be an utter disaster in 'fly over country' on a Republican ticket.
Against Hitlery?
Nah.
You do have a point there :-)
