You are being very selfish and are working for the liberals. But, I know...you don’t give a feces.
I think the world needs to be saved from both Hillary and ROOTY.
Even if he is for abortion, “gay rights” and takes guns away from law abiding citizens - just to name a few?
How many abortions have you had?
*BUMP*
This is a heck of an endorsement. If the Palis hate him, he can’t be ALL bad...
>>>*In 1986, Giuliani targeted an anti-Castro group responsible for two murders and 25 bombings. Giuliani secured guilty pleas from three Omega 7 members who conspired to kill Cuba’s U.N. ambassador in 1980 and blow up its Manhattan consulate in 1979.<<<
This is interesting.

Menendez aided murderer!
Hudson Dispatch
Wednesday, October 7, 1987
By Douglas Lavin
UNION CITY – Mayor Robert Menendez has contributed funds for a convicted Cuban-American terrorist and murderer who was the kingpin of Omega 7.
Menendez, the city’s first Cuban-American mayor, said he supports the use of violence and breaking the rule of law in the fight for a free Cuba, but also said his contribution made at a Friday fund-raiser was intended only to supply Eduardo Arocena with legal counsel.
“I endorse the fact that there are times when what one looks at as a law at a given time has to be broken,” Menendez said, adding that the fight should be carried out “wherever the enemy may be.”
Bernard F. Kenny, Menendez’s Democratic running mate in the Assembly race to represent North Hudson’s 33rd District, also was at the dinner, but said yesterday he did not know the event was a fundraiser or was linked to terrorists.
Kenny said public officials have an obligation to uphold the law.
“I think any public official has to take a strong stance on that,” he said.
Jose O. Arango, the Cuban-born Republican assemblyman who is opposing Menendez and Kenny, said he would contribute to Arocena’s legal defense if asked. Arango said he did not endorse illegal activity in the United State, but said he would contribute money to help ensure “an innocent man is not convicted.”
Menendez took a similar stance and said Arocena needed a new trial because he did not have proper legal counsel during his trial.
Micahel L. Tabak, the asssitant U.S. attorney who was in charge of the prosecution, siad Arocena rejected a free, court appointed attorney from own of Manhattan’s best law firms and instead chose two of his own attorneys, who represented him during the trial.
“The record is clear that Arocena was represented by counsel,” Tabak said.
Arocena, a former New Jersey longshoreman, was convicted in 1984 of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy bombings and perjury.
In December 1985, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan denied an appeal, calling the government’s case, which included 85 witnesses and “copius” physical evidence, “overwhelming and impressive.”
The court also called Arocena the “kingpin” of Omega 7 and said the group financed its crimes of bombings and murder through drug trade and extortion.
Since 1973, Omega 7 has claimed responsibility for more that 30 terror bombings in New York, New Jersey and Miami. The bombings have targeted such groups as a pharmacy in Union City that sent medicine to Cuba and local travel agencies that booked flights for Cuban emigres to return to Cuba to visit their families.
Arocena was found guilty in November 1984 of 25 of 26 counts. He was convicted of organizing the murder of a Cuban attache in Queens and arranging bombings at Cuban, Soviet, Venezuelan, Mexican, and Nicaraguan missions in New York and Miami as well as at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens.
Menendez said that as a public official he has an obligation to uphold the law here, but that he also has a responsibility “to listen to the people, if it is their belief collectively that this is a good man.”
“I don’t look at it that I am supporting ‘a murderer,’” Menendez said, “I look on it that I am supporting a goal, which is the liberation of Cuba.”
Even if he is for abortion, “gay rights” and takes guns away from law abiding citizens - just to name a few?
Hillary will not, which negates Hillary.
You are kidding right? You trust ROOTY to follow what he says during a campaign? This is the guy that said blind people should be able to carry guns if they want to -just last week. After he sued the gun companies for making to many guns. I do not believe him nor trust him. He wants the job so bad he saying what ever he has too to try and get elected.
ROOTY doesn't fly in the inter mountain West. We do not want an East Coaster for President especially one from the $hithole of NYC.
You are kidding right?
Rudy will appoint strict constructionists to the federal bench, which negates any concern for his social positions.
You are still trusting a person who clearly lies everyday. Why believe him on this one issue?
Pardon me, but has Rudy signed any document that holds him to his word?
I don’t think so.
So quit telling us what someone else has said. That is hearsay. His record speaks otherwise. That is fact, not hearsay.
Kind of like how Bush41 wasn't going to raise taxes?
Rooty Tooty HAS NOT explained what his meaning of "strict constructionist" is, but he has said that he believes that abortion is a constitutional right.
Why would ANY president knowingly appoint a judge who he disagrees with on such a vital issue?
