Do you really consider Rudolph Giuliani a possible threat?

[Wcross]

This Rudy Giuliani?


No way in hell he has a chance at the republican nomination.

To all drag queens.

Rudy to Get The Harriet Miers Treatment

Back in 2005, when Harriet Miers was humiliated and forced to withdraw her nomination to the Supreme Court, the Republican Party’s right-wing base was largely responsible. Having torpedoed their own president’s nominee for being insufficiently zealous regarding their social and legal agenda, the Right forced President Bush to send them someone whose ideological commitment could not be doubted, which he did by nominating Samuel Alito.

In the face of what, initially, seemed insurmountable odds, the Right mobilized and managed to torpedo Miers’ nomination in just under a month, achieving arguably their single most significant political triumph of the entire Bush presidency to date.

Now, heading into 2008, the Right is facing what some of them see as an even more ominous threat: the prospect that Rudy Giuliani could win the GOP presidential nomination. And just as they did with Miers, right-wing activists - especially anti-choice Catholic ones – are gearing up to launch an all-out attack in an effort to deny Giuliani the nomination:

Fidelis America, the political-action committee of Fidelis, is arguably the best-established of the anti-Rudy organizations, and it’s certainly the most open about its overall strategy. A Michigan-based Catholic organization cleverly designed to navigate the tangle of federal campaign-spending restrictions, the group’s various arms have been registered as political-action committees, independent-expenditure committees and nonprofits.

10. Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle...with the Pope on the Handlebars!!!

This "Catholic Activism" shit is starting to get VERY old...they might want to grab some of that duct tape and use it to secure the penises of the priests when they're around young boys...and maybe get them to take off the damned dresses and put on double layers of trousers while they're at it, to make it a bit harder for them to draw their swords, as it were, rather than run around being "Holier Than Thou" scolds, given their shitty track record:

A separate effort from another group of Catholic activists—to operate under the admirably straightforward title of Catholics Against Rudy—will also take aim at Mr. Giuliani’s record on social issues. It’s the brainchild of Georgia lawyer Steve Dillard, best known as the formerly anonymous voice of Southern Appeal, a conservative Catholic legal blog that drew a wide-ranging, fiercely loyal audience until Mr. Dillard outed himself and subsequently retired the site five months ago.

Mr. Dillard, along with other bloggers, commentators and activists who are planning to participate in the effort, are modeling their project on the headline-grabbing Catholics Against Kerry site that targeted the Democratic nominee three years ago. (Organizers say that none of the individuals involved in that operation are principals in the new effort.)

“It’s not a vast right-wing conspiracy,” said Mr. Dillard, “but if you’re active on these issues, you build up networks of people who share your concerns, who are very involved, and who have very significant followings. These aren’t just ‘likely voters’—these are very serious, die-hard activists. And they all have readers and supporters.”....

18. They've taken some lessons from the utlra-fascist evangelical right

And are using the very same tactics the American Taliban are using to destroy this country. Of course, if this is pointed out, the people pointing it out are labeled ignorant bigots.

To women's fashion? Certainly. If he starts wearing his wife's stuff, he might be better off.

She may be a horrible human being, but she seems to dress well.

[Nunyabiz]

3. Neither did Bush

Rigged elections have a way of evening things out.
Ghouliani is a Reich Wing nut bag that was fully involved in the 9/11 cover up so his odds are good.

[BlooInBloo]

4. To the country.

[INdemo]

5. I dont consider any Republican candidate a threat.......

Democrats could nominate Sponge Bob and win in 2008.......

[jgraz]

6. What kind of a threat? If I had a baby I'd be worried he'd eat it, but that's about it.

[liberal N proud]

7. In 1999, did anyone think the monster we have now was threat?

Did anyone take chimpy seriously in 1999 or even in 2000?

[earthlover]

8. We have to consider every Republican candidate a potential threat

Then defeat them in November

[wuushew]

9. Too bald to become President

You would have to go back to Eisenhower to find a Republican with less hair.

[MADem]

14. Tsk, tsk....A shallow observation--but 100 percent TRUE.

Thought I'd get the obligato scolding about how "appearances shouldn't matter" (when everyone actuallly knows they do) outta the way for ya!!!!

About the only "bald" that would sell in a President, really, is "Telly Savalis" style bald. A bit of that "Who loves ya, Baby" toughness would have to accompany the well polished pate.

We're not likely to find another General with twinkling eyes, a Gerber baby face, an authoritative but not obnoxious speaking voice, a grandfatherly demeanor, who was a key player in saving the world from a fate worse than death.

Ike won because of those qualities, and despite the baldness. Also, he had a nicely shaped head.

Rudy looks like a conehead who's had "cone reduction" plastic surgery....bless his pointed little head! He actually looks BETTER as a female!

[BobRossi]

11. I didn't consider shrub a threat.

Holy shit was I wrong!

[AlCzervik]

12. they're all a threat imo.

[demobabe]

13. Before the stolen election in 2000, I never thought George W Bush was a threat. n/t

[Forkboy]

15. We're idiots if we don't treat tham ALL as threats.

Underestimate your enemies at your own peril.

[nevergiveup]

16. I am not sure his hero status

can be dismantled. We would be nuts to underestimate him. I know people who think he is a god and some of these people vote Democratic. The other day I asked this very conservative lady who worships him if she knew Rudy likes to dress in drag. Her response: "No big deal, it is nice to know he has a lighter side"

[On the Road]

17. Yes, He is Absolutely a Threat

You can make a case against any candidate. All winning candidates have negatives.

Look at Reagan. Look at Nixon. Look at either Bush.

The Democrats should not take 2008 for granted.

[uppityperson]

19. Yes, Neither did mrbush.
