It’s my understanding that he DID NOT say he WOULD NOT RUN on a 3rd Party ticket.

He has said from time to time that he doesn’t have intentions to run on a 3rd Party ticket.

Of course, that is not a definitive statement, and intentions can change.

And I believe the horrible way the GOP has treated Ron Paul—denying him delegates in Tex & La, and now in Nevada WARRANTS HIM CHANGING HIS INTENTIONS AND ACCEPTING THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY NOMINATION!

What things can we expect to see (economy, society, housing, food, energy, foreign relations ect..) when they do bring in the Amero?

If I were you I would start buying gold and silver coins which I am.
Because those coins will be worth more than the dollar and the Amero.

Dondero…Is there any escape from noise? Is there any escape from noise?

How is Rudy a neocon? Simple. Rudy believe the United States should be a global empire, with bases all over the world to station our troops. He has put neocons like Norman Podhoretz on his campaign staff. He belives the U.S. should subservient our foreign policy interests to that of Israel. He believes the U.S. has duty to spread “democracY’ all over the world, by gunpoint if necessary. And Rudy has an authoritarian personality. Anyone who watched how Rudy governed New York cannot call him a libertarian.

After all Eric, how can you support Rudy when he forced all the porno theaters and hookers off Times Square and 42nd St. For someone who reportedly has a taste for hookers, I thought you would be upset with that.

Bottom line: If Rudy is elected, we’re going to war with Iran. If RP is elected, we will be at peace. How can you have a government that’s supposed to be decentralized and yet maintain a global empire abroad? You can’t Eric, a no amont of bogus studies or newspaper editorials can change that fact of common sense.

Today’s Monday Eric, now go support Wayne Allyn Root.

That’s a real interesting coalition those pesky NeoCons got going there. Everyone from Lesbian fmr. ACLU Activist Tammy Baldwin to Pat Robertson and the Religious Right.”

These “liberals” in question are neo-con on THAT ISSUE, and it just happens to be THAT ISSUE - foreign policy – which is the most important definitional issue to the neo-cons.

Abortion is not a definitional libertarian issue.

I don’t engage in subdividing libertarians. Someone either consistently advocates limited government or he doesn’t.

A credible case cannot be made based on Giuliani’s record as the mayor of New York City that he has been a consistent advocate of limited government.

Thus, there is no way he will ever receive my vote.

And, frankly, if it comes down to Clinton vs. Giuliani I hope that Clinton wins(and expect that to be the result). Neither of them is a friend to liberty and I want to see the reaction of the warvangelicals to a Hillary Clinton administration since they have been such big advocates of the consolidation of power in the executive branch while “their guy” has been president.

Would you acknowledge that there is such a thing as a “Mainstream” or “Moderate” Libertarian? Or, is it required that anybody who uses the term “libertarian” has to be a radical extremist type?

And if you do acknowledge Moderate Libertarians, could you kindly suggest a few names of people who you believe qualify for such a title?

Here’s your response. There are tons and tons and tons of political issues out there. When one considers the BIG PICTURE and includes ALL political issues out there, Giuliani rates by all unbiased standards as a “libertarian-leaning Republican” or “Moderately libertarian.”

You are correct. He’s not a Radical Libertarian who believes in mandating Bazookas for every American household, reads L. Neil Smith on a daily basis, and wants to legalize crack cocaine. Ya got me there. I’ll come clean.

For the record:

Rudy Giuliani IS NOT A RADICAL LIBERTARIAN.

There, I said it. Happy now?

But a Moderate Libertarian – generally “fiscally conservative yet socially tolerant,” in the mold of Gov. Arnold, Cong. David Dreier of CA, Dennis Miller, Jess Ventura, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, FL Gov. Crist, and many others, Giuliani certainly fits the bill.

Concerning the your claim that former Mayor Giuliani is a libertarian, how do you answer these:

What about Giuliani’s extreme use of federal racketeering statutes? Was that libertarian?

What about Giuliani’s confiscation of guns? Was that libertarian?

What about Giuliani’s many attempts to squelch free speech? Was that libertarian?

What about Giuliani’s support of Bush’s domestic surveillance program? Is that libertarian?

Mr. Dondero, do you really believe that Giuliani would not attempt to further concentrate power in the executive branch of the U.S. government?

Wow. Sheesh. I’m speechless.

Tell us Jay, if that’s the case why is it that James Dobson, Gary Bauer, and other bigtime Religious Right supporters who are fanatic Bush backers are so determined to defeat Giuliani?

And fyi, every one of the Bush Administration people who have left to get jobs with the Presidential campaigns has signed on with Mitt Romney, NOT Rudy Giuliani.

I’d say Romney is a Bush clone. Maybe Sam Brownback too?

But not Giuliani.

I like Susan Estrich, Alan Colmes, Bob Bechel, and a host of other prominent Cable News Liberals. I like them personally, and I trust their judgement particularly on political matters. I agree with them on about 20 to 25% of the issues.

So yes, to answer to your question, I do most certainly trust some people I disagree with.

Oh, and Bill Bennett. The guy is about as far away from me on the political spectrum as you could possibly get. But I do like his radio talk show. And I generally think he’s a good, fair-minded guy. I trust him, as well.

First we now learn from our friend Andy that “Liberals who support the War in Iraq are NeoCons.”

That’s a real interesting coalition those pesky NeoCons got going there. Everyone from Lesbian fmr. ACLU Activist Tammy Baldwin to Pat Robertson and the Religious Right.

Hey, what was it that Nixon said…

“We’re all NeoCons now.”

I give Ron Paul a failure on the Abortion question, Gay Rights, and of course the Military issues.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Kris. Looks like ontheissues.org is not entirely correct. Maybe Giuliani is more libertarian than Ron Paul after all!
