When people vote for a republican a large portion do it because the person running is pro-life, anti-sodomy, or because they want illigal immagration stopped. All the above Rudy does not fit the mold. Why are people saying this guy has more of a chance than Ron Paul and some of the other runner ups, I have no clue.

Only someone who hasn't read anything would vote for Giuliani.
Married 3 times, cheated in at least two marriages, had an affair with someone in his office as mayor...didn't the Repubs impeach someone over that?
Pro choice, pro partial birth abortion, pro gay marriage...doesn't sound very Republican to me.
He's so clueless on foreign policy, he had never heard the term "blowback" before last week.
Giuliani as President would be a disaster. As the debates go on, his numbers will plummet.
Ron Paul is the best hope this country has.

One reason.
9/11
Before 9/11, Giuliani was dead in the water politically.
Before 9/11, the presidency of George W. Bush was virtually dead in the water as well.
Like a couple of surfers waiting for the big one, they caught the 9/11 wave and have been riding it ever since!
9/11 ! The gift that keeps on giving !
This all turns on perception though.
We have determined that we don't want MOMMY GOVERNMENT
We might be in the process of coming to the conclusion that we also don't want DADDY GOVERNMENT or GODFATHER GOVERNMENT either !
Fear is a thief !
It is the biggest thief we will ever know !
As long as we think there is an al-Qaeda wolf at the door, we insist on having DADDY GOVERNMENT WITH A SHOTGUN or GODFATHER GOVERNMENT WITH A MACHINE GUN.
As long as we are gripped with fear, the illusion of protection and masculine assertiveness emanating from Giuliani and Bush, translates to popular support and generous votes for both.
Read about the GULF OF TONKIN INCIDENT and the GULF OF TONKIN RESOLUTION that was undertaken by a combination of outrage and fear.
Testosterone over reason.
If half of Congress had been female Republicans, Lyndon Johnson wouldn't have gotten away with that fast one!

??? Someone, ANYONE, ....please explain how being the mayor of a city that suffers a tragedy like an unprecedented bombing, makes the mayor a SECURITY and TERRORISM authority?
WHY IN HELL then, was the former mayor of Oklahoma City NOT using HIS EXPERTISE in a manner that would have turned 9/11 into September 11, 2001--none eventful day in the NYCity? Unless he is now a WMD, I'm sure he could have been found. Clinton, Bush, or Rudy SHOULD have hired him long ago...OR BETTER ....WE should have MADE "HIM" PRESIDENT. On the morning of 9/11 most Americans didn't know the difference between AL-QAEDA and Al Sharpton, yet a GENUINE SECURITY AND TERRORISM EXPERT ...is wasting those talents PROBABLY SELLING INSURANCE out in the great Midwest...
Rudy is an OPPORTUNISTIC FRAUD...and suckers are buying. I wish you all had a way to access pre-911 NYC politics. The mayor was UNDER FIRE. The CRAP going on at GRACIE MANSION under Mayor Rudolph Guiliani... made BILL CLINTON'S WHITE HOUSE seem like summer camp. C'mon, your wife AND your GIRLFRIEND under the same roof? YOUR policemen shooting AN UNARMED MAN 41 TIMES? Your POLICEMEN and JAILERS.... SODOMIZING an inmate with a broomstick? ....The USUAL garden variety NYC graft and corruption THAT PROCEEDED UNABATED .......because the mayor was trying to referee B***H -FIGHTS at home? Give me a fuggin BREAK.....ssheesh

Because Rudy is a puppet for the owners of the Federal Reserve and most Americans are dumber than a box of rocks when it comes to central banking and monetary policy.
Here's a test for you. Did you pay your income taxes for last year? If so, you fail. There is no law requiring you to pay a personal income tax. No Law!
Did you know that zero of the money collected from the personal income tax goes to pay for government services? It all goes to pay the interest on the national debt which the owners of the Federal Reserve just love. This explains why both liberals and conservatives vote for out of control spending aside from a few sane members of Congress such as Ron Paul.
So why do you pay an income tax that there is no law requiring you to pay and that none of the money goes to pay for government services? Are you a puppet, or slave, to the owners of the Federal Reserve?
Guiliani, McCain, Romney? Clinton, Obama, Edwards? What's the difference? They all support the private ownership of the Federal Reserve. Next time you get a chance to SEE your Members of Congress ask them if they are a puppet to the owners of the Federal Reserver or a patriot for the people of the United States.
Better yet, ask yourself that question. Read the Owen-Glass Act, 1913. Support candidates for public office that seek to abolish the Federal Reserve or keep paying your taxes for no reaon whatsoever.

Ron Paul would be a DREAM COME TRUE for America. Unfortuantly, unlike Giuliani, Ron Paul can't be bought. Giuliani is bought & paid for, as most if not all the other repubocrats are too. My biggest fear is that if Ron Paul did get elected president that he is "custom" made for an accident! Like falling down the white house flight of stairs, "repeatedly" until dead, choaking to death on his food, Air Force one loses an engine or two on Paul's maiden voyage in it, you get the picture? Problem is Paul is not just an "outsider" he is ACTUALLY a true representative of the people, by the people & for the people. The politicians(magicians!) of the democratic republican party don't like it or him for Ron tells the truth as Giuliani just found out in his humiliating debate with Ron Paul. The "magicians" of the repubocratic party hate Dr.Paul for HE makes THEM look bad, & they know it!!! Thats why the repub side of the repubocratic party tried to SILENCE representative Paul for they FEAR him. Get ready for the smear campaign! The rest of the presidential canidates are just that, "the rest", like in yesterdays news. I'm shocked that the American voting public is not abandoning the repubocratic party like it was a sinking ship.

You are correct on many points, however, we are presently living basically on a pile of explosives and our national security is now and will be in the near future in great and dire jeopardy.
Rudy Giuliani is the most qualified of all candidates, Republican and Democrat, who could most judicially ensure our safety and dominion.
The other issues are important and if we lived in security I probably would not vote for him but under the circumstances I believe he is our best bet for securing us from terrorists.
Terrorists will be among us henceforth but we need someone who will make this their priority issue and let Congress and the Senate worry about the rest.

Nah. He dealt with 9/eleven properly, and that i think of he'd be an progression over the present resident, yet i did no longer like his overall performance ahead of the assaults and does no longer vote for him. as far as Republican mayors of huge cities pass, i did no longer think of Richard Riordan did a foul pastime in la. yet i'm going to be vote casting D in 2008 until they nominate the devil.

Rudy Giuliani is good as an anti-terrorist and it is the reason why voters wanted him as President.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know if Giuliani will likely win.

I ain't voting for him. He makes a big deal of the 9/11 issue while at the same time he's pro choice. 3000 people got killed and he has a problem with that, but he doesn't have a problem with allowing thousands of mothers to kill their own innocent babies.
