Guliani has joined the religious right

He has stated that he, like Bush, wants to stack the Courts with right wing justices like Alito and Roberts! I don't care how pro-choice or pro-gay-rights he claims to be. Stacking the Court this way is the worst thing anybody could do for those issues! And now McCain wants Roe v. Wade to be overturned..I wonder what kind of justices he will appoint?

Democrats must win in 2008. At the very least, we need to increase our lead in the Senate and get a real majority to stop this Court stacking that even the "liberal" Republican candidates apparently want to do. Not supporting the Democratic candidates in 2008 is like handing over the Courts to the religious right.

3. Cute, but the newyorkslime pic has nothing to do with his politics. We can beat him on his record.

7. The wonderful thing about Republicans is that you don't have to

beat him on his record to erode his support. In fact, the fact that liberals are running around talking about something as effete and intellectual as a his "record" while Giuliani laughs (in front of pics of him on 9/11) will increase his support. Its not about facts to them, its about testosterone...And all you really have to do to beat them is convince them that Giuliani is a drag queen metrosexual New York elitist.

2. Laughing my ass off at the pathetic GOP

You have this womanizer, Rudy, pretending to be a religious right wing nut, like McCain, Gingrich, and the rest of them. Women aren't someone they value.

4. The stupid rapture right will believe him ...

6. I'm starting to think that he's going to be the Republican nominee

What I'm really worried about are the swing voters who don't follow politics very closely and still think that Guliani is a moderate! And he will try to portray himself as moderate after he gets the GOP nomination, but his intention of Court-stacking proves he is another enabler of the religious right.

10. And here we'll be running a right-of-center candidate whom

all these same swing voters think is an ultra-liberal - a candidate who doesn't fire up our base but fires up theirs. :eyes:

What about this picture doesn't make sense?

5. Guliani is lying to convince the religious right he has joined them

If they're expected to support a New York politician who approves of abortion, gay rights, gun control, and the war in Iraq, they may as well support Ms. Clinton.

I know there're differences, and I'm not bashing Clinton here, but the religious right sees everything in black and white. They wont approve af a candidate who is multi-faceted and flexible an issues.

I didn't think Rudy would lie this early in the campaign. Hahahahahaha


yes I did

9. Not to mention his adultery......

how do they explain that away? A youthful indiscretion? :eyes: Once again the religiously insane prove that their "firm belief in scripture" means absolutely nothing. And they're going to get suckered in again by some GOPanderer who'll forget all about them after the election is over. They never learn, do they?

8. will rudy giuliani, serial adulterer, gain traction with the religiously insane?

or will they suddenly become more forgiving about such things and reveal themselves for the enormous hypocrites they are?

11. Some Media are already moving to stop

discussion of Rudy's privatelife. Last night on Lou Dobbs

Group of reporters on Lou Dobbs. Bill Clinton has innoculated
all future candidates. In other words after President Clinton,
the people separate private life from public ablity. The people
will accept a strong leader in spite of private failures. The
people do not care to have these things discussed.
Guilliani was the person with strong leadership skills whom
they were discussing.

This occurrd on Sunday Evening Lou Dobbs Program.

12. For the "normal" public it may be true

that they separate personal from political. But not for the fundie wingnuts. They'll never stand for it. Dobson has already said Rudy is toast as far as he's concerned.

13. Careful, boys and girls

If William Donohue of the Catholic League gets wind of your bad-mouthing of St. Rudy of Giuliani, he'll be here snorting and stomping about anti-Catholic bias. And Donohue has allies in unsuspected places.
