Der Rudyfuhrer Smeared by '08 Rival. GOP Frontrunner Called 'Pro-Gay Marriage' by Der Mittenfuhrer
Giuliani Smeared by '08 Rival
G.O.P. Frontrunner Called 'Pro-Gay Marriage' by Romney

By TEDDY DAVIS

March 1, 2007— Rudy Giuliani is fast becoming the man to beat for the Republican presidential nomination and he's starting to feel the heat.

The former New York City mayor — who sits atop the Republican presidential field according to two recent national surveys — is wrongly labeled as being "pro-gay marriage" by former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., in a Christian Broadcasting Network interview which is set to air March 6 on the "700 Club."

"He is pro-choice, he is pro-gay marriage, and anti-gun," said former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., in an interview taped in Boston on Feb. 28. "That's a tough combination in a Republican primary."

Giuliani is often described as being "pro-gay rights" because he signed a 1997 bill creating domestic-partnership benefits in New York City. He has never, however, been "pro-gay marriage."

Romney Camp Can't Back Up Claim

When contacted by ABC News, the Romney campaign was not able to provide substantiation for the governor's claim that Giuliani is "pro-gay marriage".

"It is sad," a source close to the Giuliani campaign told ABC News, "but unfortunately not surprising, that Mitt Romney's flailing campaign has chosen to misrepresent Rudy's positions. He can't keep his own positions straight let alone Rudy's."

2. So if Rudy wants to shake the "pro Gay" image
he will have to make a Sista Soulja type statement that will settle the social conservatives. Something like, "I believe marriage is a bond between a man and a woman, period!"

Look for it during the NH primaries.

5. Yes, they are.

For some reason, these and the many other enlightened reforms introduced by our great mayor have raised criticism. The daily newspapers now refer to him as "The Midtown Mussolini" and "Hitler on the Hudson". Police Commissioner Howard Safir testified Mayor Giuliani has received 80 death threats so far this year. Nobody has killed him yet, however.

7. I'm a Jew who lost family in The Holocaust. I'm sorry you're sickened.

Try some crystallized ginger.

I've been to The Holocaust museum in Washington, DC and sat down in front of the computers, and seen my family's names listed in the records.

You don't own a monopoly on outrage, nor are you the sole arbiter of good taste.

Nor will I moderate my opinions solely to your own, personal comfort level.

11. I don't need to re-read anything.
Just because your last name is on the memorial doesn't mean you're related. I stand by my sentiments. Your posts are offensive and marginalizing.
