Every time I watch him give a speech, I get more and more impressed with him. Can you maybe give me some reasons why you think he might NOT be a good presidential candidate? I want to see all sides....

well actually- yoiu might want to do some yahoo searches on him- he's a scary one. let me give the short list...
1. has been married 3 times- cheated on the first 2 (we'll see about the 3rd, too soon to know:) he even brought his mistress to a gov't. function and was ripped a new one in the papers for that one the next day-and his first wife was his second cousin! eeww!
2. he has major funding connections to the war ( a company that he has ties to makes money off the war ie: supplies and etc.)
3. he is for amnesty and sanctuary cities- would not do anything for illegal immigration, except maybe make it worse.
4. his own family refuses to speak to him becuase of the damage he has caused them
5. he was caught cross dressing
6. he has a history of lobbying (although not as bad as thompsons lobbying)
7. he was booed at a 9/11 memorial by vicitms and service men and women because of his lack of control over the situation and for stopping the rescue efforts early in fear of the costs vs. probabilty (which interestingly he uses 9/11 as one of his major campaign platforms)
8. he is more of a conservative democrat on every issue than he his a republican
9. he has no history of lowering taxes or money managment, he has a sanctuary state, has no enterprise experience ( foriegn trade etc., ) has no military experience, has not made any platform for the global warming issue, makes no promises for the out of control spending and tax problems and he his basically a wolf in sheeps clothing
10. i personally cannot trust a guy to run a country who cannot even keep his family together and keep it in his pants- any promises he makes on this campaign is just lip service to me, how can you believe he will keep promises, when he made a legal commitment and oath to both his ex- wives and to God to be faithful and love them- and each time went out to see where the grass was greener?! i mean once- maybe you know people make mistakes- forgive forget. but twice!! he's a habitual cheater and a liar. he's 2 for 3, and who knows with the next one! please do some research before voting for this guy- if after research you still like him, fine, that's your perogative- but my guess is you won't.

Rudy Giuliani, the mobster's son? the guy who advised all those emergency workers at floor 0, "specific, the air's risk-free to respire!" and how many 1000's of them have maximum cancers and truly some different ailments now???? i'm specific he's have been given their vote...bastard. If there became any ******' justice interior the international, Rudy Giuliani would have been on the 84th floor of WTC1 on 9/11 at 8:40 5 AM, admiring the mirrored photograph of sunlight coming off that inbound 737... His probabilities of changing into President are decrease than 0, do no longer undertaking. this is gonna be Hillary; odds are it fairly is already been desperate.

He's got a lot of shady dealings while he was mayor. Yes, he did do a lot of good things for New York. However, you can also make the same claim about Pres. Clinton and what he did for the US.
However, if anyone says that either one of their personal conduct and reputation is above reproach with a straight face is a full-blown idiot at best.
There are a lot of people out there who could run America very well. I am just looking for someone who has character, not who is a character.

He doesn't seem trustworthy to me. Sure he was a good mayor, but can he handle the whole country. The only thing I hear him talk about is how he did this and that for New York, but what has he done the rest of his political career? Also from what I've seen, he did great for cleaning up new yorkls violence and crimes but how is he going to possibly make a difference with violence for the country as a whole? And what did he do about illegal immigrants in New York?

Let's see....oh yeah..he cheated on his wife,misappropriated city funds to help hide it ,and pay for an apt. for his mistress. He took a bribe to have his Crisis Control Center placed in Bldg.#7. That's why he was walking around on 9-11. He had NOWHERE else to go! He would sell us out to make a buck,or to get laid! Then there is his good buddy Bernie,and all the ties to organizerd crime! Speeches can be written by other people,it's just B.S.! Don't vote from fear,or bigotry,vote on the true facts.

Rudy Giuliani is the most morally bankrupt individual running... I would vote for ANYONE over him..
Rudy has been embroiled in scandals, his 9/11 record is blotched.. just ask the firefighters that blame him for the defective radios, that he was warned about, which resulted in over 242 deaths...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17869046/
He later claimed that he spend just as much time as workers on ground zero, and didn't offer any kind of sympathy for the fact that they are suffering from illnesses, It was later found that he only spend 29 hours on ground zero, less then the time he spend at Yankee Stadium..
Then he was warned in 1993, after the first world trade center attacks to move the security office from the seventh floor out of the building in case of an emergency.. of course he didn't listen and look at the results..
He won't sign a pledge confirming lower taxes
And New York City’s crime rate being down attributes to police Commissioner Bill Bratton, Rudy had nothing to do with it.. “Bratton, not Giuliani, was featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 1996.[54] Giuliani forced Bratton out of his position after two years, in what was generally seen as a battle of two large egos in which Giuliani was unable to accept Bratton's celebrity”
His co-chair has been quoted as labeling "blacks retarded," not to mention that Giuliani's main sponsors have been caught in money fraud, drug/prostitution scandals, and child molestation
Don't forget when Rudy was mayor he was already accused of racial profiling, and not even reading the 9/11 commission report
Contrary to popular belief he does not support gay marriage, only civil unions!
Rudy will privatize social security.
He has been married three times, including once to his cousin, and his own children won't even speak to him, his daughter plans to vote for someone else..
His solution is to the failing public school system is not doing anything at all. He wants to leave the option open for parents to chose public or private schools, but most middle-class Americans, cannot afford to go to private school. Instead of letting the system fail, why not improve it, our tax dollars are already paying for it!

Some people oppose him because he doesn't want to overturn Roe v Wade, although he's personally opposed to abortion.
Others oppose him because he wants to grant civil unions, but not "marriage," to gays.
Some don't like him because he enforced gun laws in New York City, even though he supports the Second Amendment.
Others dislike him because he knows we need to finish what we started in Iraq, whether we should have started or not.
These are all things that I like about him, and some of the reasons I'm supporting him.
Vote for Rudy!

The majority of Americans wouldn't even know who he is today, but he used september 11 as a springboard into the public eye. Its pathetic. The mafia also wants to kill him.

He was the best mayor NY ever had and would more than likely be the best President. I'm definitely voting for him!
