Some subtle eye openers for me:
1. Pakistan family who lived in US for decades held at club gitmo for a year and half. They're not enemy cambatants. If they're here legally they have right to due process, no exceptions.
2. New terrist claim repsonsibility through torture. If I was waterboarded I would probably say I was responsible as well, how stupid do they think we are?
3. Border patrol agent going to prision for 6 to 11 years for doing there job. If you don't want illegals caught just change policy, don't put our agents in harms way politically as well as physically. This is straight BS, I really feel for teir families. If you want labor, loosen the immigration laws. Why is that so difficult.

BTW, for the record, I no longer support anything done by this president. I voted for him on fiscal policy such as IRS reform, SS reform, Tort reform, and he has done little or nothing on these issues.

And, let us not forget that Mr. Rudi is semi gay.

I was under the impression Reps were worried about muliti marriages for him but look at Regan...He was divored and remarried and what's the big deal about gay anyway? Clinton got a BJ in the White House (not by Hillary) but he is still more popular than she is

Its one thing to not be homophobe but to dress in drag and make a fool of ones self is not right. But Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani was repeatedly heckled along the parade route, particularly by a contingent of minority marchers who were angry that he was marching close to them. The police said three people were arrested, two on charges of disorderly conduct and one on charges of petty larceny.

''You should be able to march as the Mayor of New York City anyplace you want,'' Mr. Giuliani said after he made his planned exit from the gay pride parade route, ''and if people can't deal with their own anger over that, that's really something emerging from them, from inside them.''

Jimmy Riordan, a spokesman for Heritage of Pride, which organizes the parade, was unapologetic. ''Nobody is barred from being in the gay pride parade,'' he said. ''It's completely open to all people. He's just not popular.''
Rudy even embarrassed some gay americans. Rudy in his lavender dress leading the parade looked stupid.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Former New York mayor and 2008 presidential contender Rudolph Giuliani said Wednesday he is not sure the tide will turn in the war in Iraq, as President Bush has said.

"I'm not confident it's all going to turn around," Giuliani told CNN's "Larry King Live." "Who knows that? I mean, you never know that in the middle of the war.

Basically he says stay the course but he does not know what will work. we will just have a more liberal Bush like idiot aboard. Brownback or Hagel are the cadidates that should get the nomination.

Marcus, welcome to AWE. I am not sure if any of the candaites can say what idea will work, but Brownback and Hagel will not have the funds to last to the end unless one of them gets the vp slot.

Thanks Rob. I cannot join I do not have personal email.I am using a work computer and can only be on here and there. I believe Rudi is the worst possible candidate for the republicans to nominate. he has the failings of bush and his antics show him to be an idiot. His interview on foreign affairs sucked. I wish people would get behind brownback or a quality candidate. he is an immoral egomaniac that got caught up in his own image for a few good moves after the twin towers. if people would really listen they would see how shallow anlacking he is. there arre some great possible nominees out there for the nomination. Rudi will just take our party further down the tubes like bush. lets get some substance onboard.
