First democratic campaigns squabbling. Now Repubs. Do you agree with Mitt Romney's statement against Giuliani?

Question

Do you agree with Mitt Romney that, if elected, Giuliani's socially liberal values would "destroy the GOP"?

Answer 1

I agree with everything Mitt Romney has said.

Answer 2

If Giuliani gets nominated, Republicans will support him for President, despite his liberal positions on firearms and abortion, because the Democrat party, as a group, is even farther left on both issues. You've got to pick the lesser of two evils.

Few Republicans will be fooled by any "Trojan horse" Democrat who may claim to be pro-life or pro firearms freedoms. John Kerry tried to play the "sportsman", posing with an automatic shotgun of the very type he was trying to ban. Our mamas didn't raise no fools.

BTW, there's a Democrat congresswoman from New York right now who is trying to present a House Bill that goes WAY BEYOND even the Clinton ban on firearms. Look out, veterans, collectors, and competitive target shooters. This gal even wants your M-1 Garand. The Democrats never DARED that before.

Answer 3

The values or lack of them for Giuliani would destroy any party that actually nominated him. Mitt Romney wouldn't of had to say that its obvious to anyone with values.

Answer 4

Karl Marx defined himself as a scientific socialist. This became as against a Christian socialist. there have been socialists until now Marx. i don't comprehend no rely if Karl Marx might regard Hillary as one in all his. He might probable reject Obama on racist grounds. My view is that throughout elementary language - exterior esoteric discussions of socialism - Obama and Hillary are the two Marxists.

Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann.

A controversial Arizona sheriff known for making his inmates wear pink underwear and eat green bologna turned his back on his state's favored presidential candidate, opting instead to join forces with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
The Romney camp appointed Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio Monday as honorary chair of the campaign in the state of Arizona.

"The first time I met the governor at a private meeting, first thing he said was 'How's the pink underwear doing?'" Arpaio told FOXNews.com Wednesday.

Romney asked Arpaio to join his campaign in early January after several meetings, said Arpaio, who has made his name with a tough stance on immigration in the nation's fourth largest county.

"I like him," Arpaio said. "He's a man of principle, of good character. He did a great job in Massachusetts and I feel he's going to make a great president."

The sheriff, who was born and raised in Massachusetts, says his role in the campaign will include touting the Republican candidate in speeches throughout the state, and possibly the nation, where the tough-talking sheriff will stress Romney's ethics, his family life and his business acumen as reasons to vote him into office.


But Arpaio's decision to support the former Massachusetts governor begs the question as to why he decided to shirk the hometown candidate, Sen. John McCain . Arpaio refused to answer that question directly, choosing instead to allude to the Vietnam War hero.

"Arizona's important, maybe psychologically and politically because you have a fella here from Arizona running for president," Arpaio said. "And I guess, the hometown boy or the favorite son, they always seem to win; however don't forget, was it Gore that lost his own state in Tennessee?

"So I feel Mr. Romney has a great chance to win Arizona regardless of what polls and everybody else said," he said.

He called former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, also running for president, a "nice guy."

Maricopa County's sheriff made headlines last year for his controversial application of an anti-smuggling law that allowed him to jail illegal immigrants for smuggling themselves into the U.S. Inmates in the county, which includes Phoenix, are housed in a tent city where they are forced to wear pink underwear and eat green bologna.

"I'm sure the governor believes in my philosophy too," Arpaio said. "He sure would not be asking for my endorsement if he didn't believe in what I'm doing."

But Romney will have to win office before he'll get a chance to tour the tents. Four losing presidential contenders — Sens. Bob Dole, McCain, Phil Gramm and Gov. Pete Wilson — have toured the facility. Arpaio doesn't want to jinx Romney into being the fifth.

The Romney 2008 campaign also named Arizona political consultant Jason Rose as the state director of Romney's Republican bid for office.

"Each has many years of experience in Arizona politics and will help us mobilize our already robust network of grassroots support," said Romney in a statement. "They will be strong surrogates for our optimistic message of a stronger and safer America."

Answer 6

Is it infighting or intra-party debate? Both parties badly need it in my view. In Romney's case, however, it may be a dangerous game since the Christian right may use his Mormon religion against him later on.

Answer 7

No but i do want Romney to shut up. We can not have this kind of infighting, what are we ? democrats?

Answer 8

No, it's pretty well destroyed already.

Answer 9

No.
