What's you opinion of a Giuliani presidency?

Question

I like what I see. But would he stick to his guns or turn into a big government supporter like Bush?

I like a socially liberal stance (except on abortion) with fiscal conservatism.

Violet: Yes, this is off topic - and do I seem like I care?

Answer 1

Giuliani will stick to his guns regardless of anything and that is something to strongly consider before voting for him. A President needs to be open to considering differing views.

Answer 2

Giuliani is probably as bad or worse than Bush. I am a New Yorker and I know how bad a leader he really is. It was his fault that the emergency services got screwed on 9/11 because he insisted that the headquarters be in the World Trade Center even though it was previously attack. Why? Because he did not want to have to walk to far to get to the office. He is running on the fear factor and I am tired of people trying to scare me. He will be bad news for this country if he were elected but I doubt he has a chance.

Answer 3

I was not impressed with him from last nights debate. He seemed like a pandering wishy washy soft on abortion buffoon. He seemed to stumble over himself on just about every answer and he looked like he might break into a cold sweat at any moment. He didn't look or act presidental and I think he would be a terrible choice. We don't need another closet liberal in office. Eight years has been long enough.

McCain came across as only slightly less shrill and lunatic as Paul. He seriouisly looked half crazed most of the debate. He also would be a terrible choice as president.

I was more impressed with Romey and Hunter than either of the two big leaders. There was the other one that I liked. He made good points. I can't remember his name but I think he is unelectable because he looked and sounded (voice not answers to issues) too much like Al Gore. Of coarse that would work in our favor for those districts that have pictures of the canidates on the ballot. We'd get a lot of confused Dems voting for our guy.

Answer 4

In my opinion, Mr. Giuliani scares me to death. In Atlanta, he gave a speach making the recomendation of a stringent english-literacy test for all immigrants. Either this is openly racist or we have all forgotten what the statue of liberty reads. Secondly, he is infamous for his gay-bashing and close ties with the Christian Coalition, whom are infamous for attempting to censor books. (I betcha "Farenheit 451" was banned >.<)

On another note, I have recently come to the conclusion that I don't want civic members of my government who are not directly related to economic departments to have ever been a high associate of any corporation. (did you know that his main business interests actually profitted from 9/11?)

Greenspan- sure I understand the need for the economic mindset, but please, not my president.

Answer 5

I like Giuliani, but I am not sure I want him as a president. He could be really good or kind of "scary crazy" in the Nixon manner. I really could see him going either way.

Answer 6

I haven't yet decided upon my candidate. I like to see what kind of race they run. Smear campaigns and negative ads do impact my decision as do the important issues on their platform.

He may be in the running for me. Time will tell.

Answer 7

I don't trust him. He covered up his bungling after 9/11 to make himself appear to be a hero.

I also don't trust a man who would cheat on his wife and tell her he wants a divorce via a newspaper article. Very tacky and disrespectful.

I also disagree with his pro-choice stance on abortion.

Answer 8

With Angela Merkel in Germany, possibly Royal in France, and hopefully Clinton in the USA, i'd like to see women rule the world for a while.

Answer 9

An abotion supporting republican from New York who biggest claim to fame is being a mayor. Yah, that makes as much sense as electing a dog.

Answer 10

I like him for the most part. I disagree with his stance on abortion, though.
