Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his wife Judith arrive at the premiere of “Grey Gardens” in New York April 14, 2009
Rudy will NOT make gay marriage an issue when he runs for New York Governor next year because……?
Giuliani does NOT have to and alienate anyone – his first rule in politics.
Rudy Giuliani, speaking on an Albany radio station this morning, appeared to walk back the implication in a New York Post interview printed today that he would make same-sex marriage central to a possible campaign for governor.
“I don’t get the sense that this is the key thing that people are thinking about right now – I think the economy overshadows everything,” he told Fred Dicker on Albany’s Talk 1300 AM just now.
The marriage issue “will be something that Republicans don’t have to use – this is something that will bring a lot of people to the Republican Party because it’s such a basic challenge to what people believe is the way society should be organized,” he said.
“Whatever the polls say, more than a majority support” civil unions, he said.
Rudy has a good track record with the Gay Community and supports civil unions. Polls show a majority support for his position on the gay marriage issue.
Let Democrat Governor David Paterson take the extreme pro-gay marriage position and let all of the right-center and religious voters flow to Rudy without making an issue of it.
A smart political lesson for the GOP.

Ventura County, California National Tax Day Tea Party, April 15, 2009
But, the political class strongly disagrees.
Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans have a favorable view of the “tea parties†held nationwide last week, including 32% who say their view of the events is Very favorable.
Thirty-three percent (33%) hold an unfavorable opinion of the tea parties according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure.
While half the nation has a favorable opinion of last Wednesday’s events, the nation’s Political Class has a much dimmer view—just 13% of the political elite offered even a somewhat favorable assessment while 81% said the opposite. Among the Political Class, not a single survey respondent said they had a Very Favorable opinion of the events while 60% shared a Very Unfavorable assessment.
One-in-four adults (25%) say they personally know someone who attended a tea party protest. That figure includes just one percent (1%) of those in the Political Class.
Is this surprising for the political elite?
But, this spells trouble for the Obama Administration and Congresional Democrats if the economy does not quickly turn around.

Why Miss California didn’t win Miss USA pageant.
Perez Hilton or Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. is a “RENOWN” homosexual and shows his bigotry towards straight people in the above video.
Did Miss California’s answer on gay marriage affect his vote?
Here is the question and Hilton’s immediate reaction.
Perez Hilton a bigot?
On his blog following the ceremony, Hilton called Prejean a “dumb bitch†and described her answer to his question “the worst answer in pageant historyâ€.
It is unclear what land Miss California was speaking of when she said she lives in a place in which you can choose a same-sex marriage, because same-sex marriages are, at least for the time being, not an option in California. It is equally unclear exactly what an “opposite marriage†is. Even stranger is how Prejean became first runner-up when she didn’t answer the question presented to her.
For someone representing the state of California, in which the decision to overturn Prop 8 currently lies in the hands of the state Supreme Court, Prejean showed a shockingly poor grasp on the issue of same sex marriage.
You betcha……..
Did Miss California, Carrie Prejean’s views on gay marriage cost her the Miss USA title?
Probably…..
No tolerance is permitted by the radical homosexual community.
Remember the California Propsition 8 campaign and its aftermath with over the top boycotts and protests?

President Barack Obama and Hugh Chavez extending each other a hand and photo op at this weekend’s Latin American summit
Former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich lets it fly against President Obama for his palling around this weekend with Venezuela President and/or Dictator Hugo Chavez.
Chavez has been one of the harshest critics of the United States in that part of the world. Obama said at the conclusion of the Latin summit Sunday that he didn’t think greeting Chavez would be “endangering the strategic interests of the United States.”
Gingrich complained that the simple act of a smiling Obama shaking Chavez’s hand caused a book Chavez has written to skyrocket on the best-seller lists in the United States.
“What I find distressing,” he said, “is that the administration opposes opening up oil exploration,” but yet Obama has “bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia” and now reached out to Chavez, whom Gingrich said has been conducting “a vicious anti-American campaign.”
Gingrich, whose name has been mentioned in 2012 presidential speculation, said, “How do you mend relationships with someone who actively hates your country. … “
“Cuba releases zero prisoners,” he said, “yet we make nice with Cuba. I’m for doing things methodically and calmly … things that will work, but I’m not for deluding myself about smiles and words.”
Fantasy land world for Obama….
Hugs and exchanging books will not change the policy of these American hating dictators.

 Day By Day by Chris Muir
President Obama’s atrocious display of lovey-dovey with Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez over the weekend has empowered an American enemy and a thug.
This reminds me of the ol’ Jimmy Carter foreign policy where the President cozied up to the LEFT totalitarians while they spewed hatred towards the United States and undercut freedom throughout the world as they expanded their sphere of influence.
Obama is using his popularity in the wrong way.
Is it arrogance or ideology?
