Novak: Roadblocks ahead for Giuliani

[kskiska]

(snip)

Sen. Trent Lott looked like a supporter of Rudy Giuliani's presidential ambitions when the former New York mayor visited Lott's home state of Mississippi recently. But in private, he warned Giuliani about roadblocks in his presidential path.

Lott, who likes and admires Giuliani, told him that the New Yorker's support for abortion, homosexual rights and gay marriage are heavy burdens for a Republican to carry nationally. Giuliani protested that he never supported same-sex marriage, only civil unions. Lott advised that in Mississippi, they don't see any difference between gay marriage and civil unions.

A footnote: National Republican leaders would like to see Giuliani challenge Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton for re-election next year, but that does not seem to be on his agenda.

1. Note to Giuliani:

Just being a facist doesn't cut it with George Bush's GOP.

5. Exceptional Point!

Adolph Giuliani is not in with the evangelistas..
he's just another crooked Italian cop who put lots of Italians in jail and evolved into the crooked fascist pig that he is..another chikenhawk who actually had a moment of public insanity when he blamed the troops in Iraq for some of the failures..{Wes Clark did rebuff the chikenhawk properly }

I am an American of Italian descent and pukes like Giuliani don't speak for the many Italians who have worked hard in this US of A..

I wonder how his anthrax clean-up business is going??Aw with family bush they just lieben ya then its alvietershain
bush used this fascist as he uses all who wander near his insanity..

3. So, in Mississippi,

"they don't see any difference between gay marriage and civil unions" . . .

Hmm, so Clem and Clementine, who have cohabitated long enough to be considered "common-law" spouses, are now gay, too?

If they break up, are they still brother & sister?
