Seems Rudy is wooing the religious right, while alienating all those that have grown very tired of living under the rules of the radical religious right during the George Bush administration. Let's gloss over the Supreme Court by and for the church that George bush created, and examine what Rudy is preaching to a skeptical choir.1. Rudy promises he will not change his positions to fit prevailing winds. Good for Rudi, but will he change positions for his handlers, and deep pocketed donors is the real question. IE, let's not forget his COMPANY, and its close ties to Entergy.
Hard to trust a man that trots out his personal endorsement about the safety of one of the worst reactors in the world because the price is right.
2. Rudy admits to the folks over at the "Family Research Council (code for radical religious beliefs) summit that they may not always like his stands, but he'll give them reason to TRUST HIM. This from a man who moved his then MISTRESS into the Mayor's Mansion. Come on Rudi, until 9/11 you were ANYTHING but America's Mayor. Wave your magic wand all you want, you cannot change the past...you were a lousy mayor, and one tragic event made you what you are today...VERY VERY RICH.
3. Give Rudi credit for one thing though. He did admit he is an imperfect man. Thinking vile here, but then never was a friend of Rudi.
4. Like George Bush, Rudi claims his own belief in God, and his reliance on God's guidance is at the CORE of who RUDI is. Can see his conversations with Jesus now. So Jesus, should I dump my wife now, or just have an affair? Another thing Jesus, Entergy is offering me a whole lot of money. Now, I know the Indian Point plant is unsafe, know the evacuation plan will not work, and the tritium and strontium leaking into the Hudson River is troublesome, but wouldn't I be a fool to turn down that contract?
One thing America does not need any more of is any candidate pandering to the fringe religious groups.
Several thousand Christian conservative voters rebuffed an olive branch from Republican White House hopeful Rudolph Giuliani Saturday, over his support for abortion rights.
The former New York mayor tops Republican national polls in the quickening 2008 race, but was unable to win over a cross-section of a crucial party voting bloc at a huge "Values Voter" conference in Washington.
