Vote Giuliani/Kerik in 2008
Supporting dubya and his bull Iraq war is political suicide.
One of a Kind!
Giuliani praises Bush's Iraq policy, foresight
He disparages a Senate nonbinding rebuke on a visit to California to build a GOP campaign base for the presidency.

SACRAMENTOLA Times— Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph W. Giuliani praised President Bush's war leadership on Saturday and mocked supporters of a nonbinding congressional resolution condemning the U.S. troop buildup in Iraq.
The former New York City mayor came to Bush's defense as he promoted his White House candidacy at a California Republican convention. Drawing parallels between Iraq and America's Civil War, Giuliani compared Bush's political troubles to Abraham Lincoln's. When the Civil War was unpopular, Giuliani said, Lincoln "kept his eye ahead."
"He was able to say, 'I know my people are frustrated, and I know my people are angry at me.' " But after weighing public opinion, Lincoln had "that ability that a leader has — a leader like George Bush, a leader like Ronald Reagan — to look into the future," Giuliani said.
Giuliani's defense of the currently unpopular president comes as he is portraying himself as a decisive leader unafraid to buck public opinion.
Nice job, Rudy. Pander to 30% of the wing-nut electorate and alienate the other rational 70%.

Pandering is what people do when they are trying to be popular and political (see Clinton, Hillary). You ever consider this is what he actually thinks?
Gettin' worried about Rudy Dan?![]()

I like it.
It's over. If the democrats get someone other than Hilary for the next election, they win by a minor landslide. No matter what happens now, this administration is going down in flames.
Leave Iraq and let Iran/Al-Qa'ida run a terrorist state and attack the United States again?
Stay in Iraq, end up in Iran, and start World War 3 once Russia gets mad?
Lose-lose situation no matter what happens now. Next election will show it. Just as the past one did. No matter what stance the GOP candidate takes on anything. The only hope is to draw out this war as long as possible without either leaving or going into Iran until the GOP secures another election.
Wrong...
If you think the country has gone fanatical lib you are in for a rude awakening.
John Edwards will get his ass kicked, Hillary and Obama will get their asses kicked...
Clark is the only one that won't.
That's going up against Guilianni.
In case ya'll missed the last election....cutting and running and not supporting the war is what stole defeat from the jaws of victory.
Don't think the country has turned lib like you hystericals on this board...it don't work that way.
I think Hilary's chances depend on if and how much she triangulates like Bill did.
Too bad it doesn't depend on her just being herself, eh?
It's about getting elected. I wish McCain could be himself too, but as 2cents wants me to bash Democrats, I will bash Hillary more.
*bash*
The difference is there are very few moderate republicans left. She could triangulate as a Senator with Giuliani if he's elected, but her continued implications that the war in Iraq was neccessary, but done wrong by the Bush administration, isn't gonna win her many supporters, especially with Obama, equally popular, officially now in the race and has a clear voting record on this issue.I think Hilary's chances depend on if and how much she triangulates like Bill did.
You get killed if your not a social conservative by the GOP, and McCain has hired many of the same s bags who swift-boated his campaign in 2000. Talk about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.I wish McCain could be himself too
There are plenty, they are just overshadowed by the conservatives in the primaries.The difference is there are very few moderate republicans left.
Rudolph W. Guliani, what a chode
Remember when Giuliani blamed the mess in Iraq on the troops? Suddenly, Obama's little gaffe seems minor in comparison

You do realize Guilianni used to be a Democrat don't you?
PWNT
And the Republican party used to be the Party of fiscal conservatism, so what?
It just shows that Rudy wasn't always good...he started out stupid and got smarter...unlike the modern crat party, which is gettign stupider by the day.
The funniest thing is the naivete of most of you....
Military Service wasn't as big of a deal to you guys when Clinton was in office...why not?
It's because you're a isn't it? A commie ...be honest now.
HAHA, i wish there was a chode emoticon
It doesn't pay to be a commie . All the money goes to the state.
That's what my pimp, Vladamir, tells me.
We weren't at war when Clinton was in office.
Yeah...we were busy letting those we are at war with now become a huge problem, because the then leader didn't have the guts to send our guys to do something he himself was afraid to do.
