Fred’s guy has resigned by the way.

Which one? The terrorists? The dictator? His son?

The connection to Rudy by his guy is exactly the same as Fred’s scumbags. The MSM/Clintons are waiting for “What’s a dollar?” to get the nomination so they can start hammering on him just like they are Rudy. By then it’s too late and Hillary is the president.

Kerik was an unqualified crony appointment by Rudy, who promoted him from being his personal driver to police commissioner. Kerik’s corruption happened on Rudy’s watch, not decades earlier. There is absolutely no comparison to the two situations. Hollowpoint on November 8, 2007 at 4:22 PM

It’s stuff like this about Rudy that is going to percolate to the surface over the next few months. Fred’s guy has resigned by the way.

Fred can make Rudy the AG once he’s elected. Go Phred!

Giuliani, who as mayor fought for gun control, said he supports the Second Amendment as giving people “the individual right to bear arms” and would appoint judges who believe that.

State and local governments do have the right to place restrictions on gun ownership, he said, but if the restrictions are excessive, responsible judges will declare them unconstitutional.

So, I ask, what “right to place restrictions on gun ownership” does Giuliani grant State and local governments, because he just said that he will appoint judges who will make those restrictions, and leave those judges to judge themselves which leaves foxes guarding the Constitutional hen house that already suffers from judicial “common law” legislated from the bench attrition.

Me being absurd. Juanita Broderick and some of the Clinton allegations happened over 25 years ago yet you seem to revel in pointing those out.
As Arsenio used to say “things that make you go hmmmmm..”

The favors run in the opposite directions, meaning that Fred is more likely to be influenced by the favor that he owes to a drug dealer, than Rudy is likely to be influence by essentially the betrayal of the trust Rudy had in Kerik.

Not one of your better attempts at spin.

Let’s see- one was convicted of drug charges 25 years ago, one was convicted once last year for corruption and is currently facing indictment on another charge.

Kerik was an unqualified crony appointment by Rudy, who promoted him from being his personal driver to police commissioner. Kerik’s corruption happened on Rudy’s watch, not decades earlier.

There is absolutely no comparison to the two situations.

They both made mistakes about the people that they surrounded themselves with. It is inevitable given a lifetime in public life. However, there is a difference. Kerik, for his fault, also contributed to the successful turn around of NYC. Also, Kerick is more of a taker from Rudy than a giver. By that I mean, Kerick gained more from the relationship with Rudy than vie versa. Whereas Fred surrounded himself with a drug dealer as a fund raiser and accepted the use of his private jet. Now that the truth has come to light in both situations, you have a scumbag that owes something to Rudy, whereas Fred owes a favor to a scumbag drug dealer. The favors run in the opposite directions, meaning that Fred is more likely to be influenced by the favor that he owes to a drug dealer, than Rudy is likely to be influence by essentially the betrayal of the trust Rudy had in Kerik.

You’re being absurd. The charges were what- 25 years ago? If anyone has issues with friends having legal trouble, it’s Rudy.

On one side this is reason enough to NOT vote for Rudy.

I think a good reason to NOT vote for Fred is the fact that he employs a jihadist named Spencer Abraham as his campaign director. Fred lied about this.

Since you support Fred, perhaps you can explain his behavior in regards to Spencer Abraham.

On one side this is reason enough to NOT vote for Rudy. Pat was/is just to fringatic for me, a supporter of a different kind of nanny/sharia state.

On the other side it is reason to vote for Rudy. Obvious real politik that is unfortunately what it is going to take to win. Good on him and a chance to see if his teflon coating is up to the task. Once again the Republicans are going to take the Democrats to school on the how to’s of real politik, gosh no wonder the dems are so crazy to get beaten at “their” own game…the reverse spin and twist on the use of real politik by Rudy is BRILLIANT IMHO.

The polarization of the electorate with Pat’s support of Rudy that might have taken place in the past is just that, a thing of the past. Pat’s and his ilk’s days are numbered, THANK GOD, so this is nothing but a signal of weakness and an attempt to reclaim relevance and power.

FRED!

GoingThere

Um… already read those laws… and as Colorado is a Right to Work State, everyone who works for me signs an agreement stipulating that my comapany IS an offensive environment (even though its not) and if they are offended, then they can quit, but not sue. Its a requirement for employment… just like the security and non disclosure agreements we all sign…

Will it hold up in court? don’t know… but by signing it they acknowledge the warning…

The first sexual harassment suit will torch that little agreement. You know it just as well as I do. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be able to run your company as you see fit. You should. But the government has placed restrictions on certain types of speech that will hold up in court against you should it ever come to that. I hope it doesn’t. I wish you much success.

Considering Fred’s pilot buddy/donor was a drug courier in the 70’s and 80’s it is more likely that they have something on him and in turn ammo against Fred. You remember the Clinton-drug mafia right? I can see the ad now:

You can also bet the bank that Hillary and Schumer are sitting on more than one bomb from their NYC supporters all to ready to leak them to the lapdog MSM at just the right time.

Review the history of the NY Senate race before Rudy dropped out as just a view of coming attractions.

…FRED!

You are becoming a total train wreak.

Robertson endorses Giuliani.
Brownback endorses McCain.
Paul Weyrich endorses Romney.
Shannon Royce endorses Thompson.
Dobson endorses nobody.

Looks like the “religions right” is splitting itself between the candidates. So whoever gets the nomination will get some portion of the conservative religious vote.

What this suggests is the religious right will probably not be the deciding factor in the final election.

And if Hillary stays her course, polarizing the voters, it won’t matter which GOP candidate runs ’cause any one of the top GOP hopefuls can beat her.

And what this also means, is that it is not critical that Giuliani get the GOP nomination in order for Republicans candidate to beat Hillary.

Some open borders foe you are.

Your observations of what is going on are awfully gleeful for an objective observer. Granted he’s not your first choice but you must admit you are just a wee bit heartened at the thought fantasy that he might beat Rudy.

You are effectively cheering on the guy who co-authored the Kennedy-McCain Shamnesty bill. Imagine that!

And you can’t understand some of us don’t like him yet support Rudy!

Some open borders foe you are.

If you were a terrorist wouldn’t you be afraid of him

I clicked on the link and the picture scared me…might scare the terrorists too.
