EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 What are Republican Catholics going to do if Rudy Giuliani replaces Johnsonville brat Cheney as VP candidate (highly unlikely) or runs for the presidency in 2008? Can we hardly vote for a guy who says this?: [quote]“I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-gay rights,” Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. “No, I have not supported that, and I don’t see my position on that changing,” he responded.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thicke Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I am not disputing that he said that. But such an inflammatory quote really deserves citing the source... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 (edited) My mistake, here is the source: CNN.com, “Inside Politics” Dec 2, 1999 I like Rudy's leadership qualities and all but I couldn't vote for a pro-choice stance.

Archbishop 10-K Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 If Giuliani became Bush's running mate, I'd still vote for Bush since Bush himself is pro-life, and the President is the man who's thoughts count. I would do so reluctantly, though. Actually, what am I talking about? I'm not even old enough to vote yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I watched Neil Cavuto's interview w/ Cheny, and it's clear to me Cheny's still Bush's #1 choice. I can't see Bush replacing him, and even if he did replace him i doubt he'd replace him with someone that's so much against his policies. (anti-gay-marriage and anti-abortion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrndveritatis Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I would still vote for Bush because he is pro-life and he decides policy. However I would do it with much more reservation than if he kept Cheney. It would be terrible to Guliani would use this as a stepping stone to the presidency. Bush/Cheney would be the best ticket of any party since Reagan/Bush. Bush/Guliani would be better only than Clinton/Gore. I think Bush will stick with Cheney because I think he is more principled than we give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Bush would not put Guiliani on the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorphRC Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 He'd make a good US Pres. Better than Bush . More down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 26, 2004 Author Share Posted June 26, 2004 The problem is if Rudy did get elected in 2004 as a VP, he would be the likely top candidate in 2008, and then we'd be in trouble. I think it is highly unlikely that he will be the VP this year, but there is a chance he'll run in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroX Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 The VP also casts tie breaking votes in the Senate, so saying you would vote for him would be impossible, because that puts him in a position to affect laws. Typical though that we would vote Republican no matter what. peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
