Giuliani Notes: Don’t Want to be in Knife Fight With Hillary Without Rudy
Sunday London Times: Giuliani gains a glow as Republican saviour in waiting
IN their increasingly desperate quest for the “Anybody But McCain†(ABM) presidential candidate, Republican activists are taking a fresh look at Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York who led the city’s response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, to see if they can stomach his liberal views on abortion, gay rights and other social issues.
Giuliani is strengthening his position against John McCain, the senator for Arizona, whose popularity has been dented by his support for President George W Bush’s decision to send extra troops to Iraq.
“This is the difference between being known for September 11 and being known for the war in Iraq,†said Dan Schnur, who advised McCain the first time he ran for president in 2000.
From the British perspective, yet the MSM continues to HARP on Giuliani’s “LIBERAL” views on abortion, gay rights and guns.
Do these reporters ever take the time to research what Rudy is actually saying? Or do they restate the same ol’ hackneyed crap from the AP and other MSM writers?
Flap is a conservative and find most of Rudy’s positions on these social issues less “conservative” than me but certainly within the mainstream of America. Rudy is NOT a LIBERAL, by any sense of the imagination.
A temperate, mainstream candidate with many years of experience and a positive track record.
So, what does this mean?
The LIBERAL MSM and Clinton Cabal are scared that Rudy can catch fire and win – like he is doing.
Watch for the politics of personal destruction from Begala and Carville being dished up soon.
The former mayor now outpolls his rival so frequently that some are asking why McCain still enjoys the label of Republican frontrunner. But the Arizona senator has created a formidable operation across America. And ABM candidates have a nasty habit of coming a cropper.
The first, George Allen, made a gaffe on camera during the midterm elections and lost his Senate seat. The handsome Romney is being portrayed as a flip-flopper.
“I don’t want to end up in a knife fight with Hillary armed with nothing but Romney’s hair,†said one Republican activist.
Indeed……
