MSNBC: Giuliani dropping out of Republican race
Meh. Now I have to go take yet another bumper sticker off my Jeep… pah.
Either way, this country deserves whatever it gets, after this election, be it the anamatronic whitehead, the “new” Kennedy, or the chick – considering those options I very well may take an interest in maple leafs.
Rudy: Rudy’s 12 Commitments To America
Ambitious, I’ll say that. What I like about it more is that here’s an itemized list of “what I plan to do, if you elect me” which is something that I don’t remember seeing from the last three mamone’s that ran for the office.
Very easy to hold someone accountable to their ideals if they’re written out in a to-do list – hopefully we’ll be checking to see how the guy does come 2012.
CNN: Religious conservative leader James Dobson will sit out the 2008 presidential election if former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the Republican presidential nominee, he wrote Thursday in an online column. In a piece published on the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily, Dobson wrote that Giuliani’s support for abortion rights and civil unions for homosexuals, as well as the former mayor’s two divorces, were a deal-breaker for him. “I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision,” he wrote.
Call me crazy, but… um… well. Frankly a condemnation from this mamone means more to me than a vote of support would, considering the issues that have Dobson’s panties in a bunch…
Maybe it’s time we get a mammal in the Big Chair that’s more human than religious zealot or politician?
ABCNews: Video on demand.
Caught this short interview with Rudy Giuliani on this morning’s news, as part of “Five Years Ago Today” montage that’s going through the nation today… he’s just a class act. Polished politician? Doesn’t sound slick or greasy, yet doesn’t sound raw either. He certainly said a couple of things that most people don’t say when being interviewed, i.e. he thought that we would have been attacked again before now. When asked “if you were president these last five years, what would you have done differently” rather than do the typical and popular tearing down of [insert a republican or democrat here] he talks about all of the stuff that has gone well and then follows it up with “we still have more to do”. Even down to the latest hot topic of “health care”… he answered how I would have: “fix the problem, not the blame”.
Should he run for President in 2008, I will actively support his campaign no matter which party he runs for.
