Which would be most upsetting to most Americans:

Yeah, I realize that by listing 3 Republicans I've loaded the results, but it might be well to remember what the opposition looks like so far.

Rudy doesn't oppose same sex marriage;

Not according to the article above anyway....but maybe he flip-flopped?

Rudy Giuliani believes marriage is between a man and a woman. He does not—and has never—supported gay marriage. But he believes in equal rights under law for all Americans. That’s why he supports domestic partnerships that provide stability for committed partners in important legal and personal matters, while preserving the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman.

Its part of his 12 commitments platform.

When asked about Huckabee's comments on LGBT. And he's never supported gay marriage, he has endorsed civil unions which is different, and he's probably flipped on that now that he's running for president.

and yet, he lived with gay partners...I wonder what they think of that...

mayor in New York. Mayor Rudy marched in the gay pride parade every year - now's he's calling them sinners? That man is turning into quite the pretzel. Obviously doesn't realize we're in the age of the internet. And the New York papers haven't even gotten started on his dirt. They're waiting for him to be the nominee. He treated the press like crap while he was mayor and that's going to turn around and burn him big.

ix-nay on the ocaine-cay.

Hillbots in DU must be way down on the food chain. :rofl:

Animals trump humans every time.

People see a homeless person with a dog, they wonder if the dog is getting enough to eat.

Which is why I want Mittens to be the nom so bad I can taste it. He is TOAST when that dog on the roof story is well known!

I thought it was a joke. But then again, I read things everyday here on DU and think they're jokes :-)

thanks for the refresher rinsd.

I;m not sure which gaffe is worse.

This one or the one where he claimed his sons were helping this country not by enlisting but by getting him elected.

:rofl: Thats absolutely perfect. Now out of respect for my dead childhood pet I can stop calling him mittens.

And have you ever heard any of radio call-in shows Ghouliani did when he was first elected mayor? What a hateful bastard. I hope he gets the nod so some of that will come out.

"And have you ever heard any of radio call-in shows Ghouliani did when he was first elected mayor? What a hateful bastard. I hope he gets the nod so some of that will come out."

Rudy scare me because he makes the NorthEast competitive. He's close(too close) to Hillary in NJ, PA & CT while he is either tied or ahead of Edwards & Obama in those state and NY.

So we would have to spend money to defend what is essentially our turf.

I think sometimes I get a little idealistic when I draw the line re: what people will tolerate. The sad thing is that the freeper type republicans would probably line up with bastard Rudys hatemongering.

Both McCain & Gelmet head (hehe) probably would put NH in play for them... but at least the rest of the NorthEast would be safe.

Rudy doesn't stand a chance in any of those states - I don't care who our nominee is. Hypocrisy is very frowned upon and the way he's turned on the city that elected him twice has people very pissed (we wont even get into his rooting for the dreaded Red Sox in the world series). Those three states, at this time, are very, very blue.

That he even has to be fought there is what troubles me.

candidate will have to do more than TV and radio ads here (and they've all done that in the past as well). I've heard that people think that those in upstate NY must like Rudy because he's a pub - that's not true. They have always resented him for seeing that the city got a massive percentage of federal funds. He spoke disparingly about any place outside the city and they remember that. No love for Rudy up there. NJ and CT barely have a republican party machine. And they really don't like him either - he is an obnoxious NYer. I think the thing that (if he's the nominee) will trip him up in the long run is that he's a mean, nasty son of a bitch - he can't keep this sunny disposition forever. His mouth is going to be his undoing.

for something like 12 hours... on a family outing.

The Romneys' used to take the family dog with them when they went to vacation in their cabin in the woods. The sour note in this idyll is that the dog rode in a kennel strapped to the roof of the station wagon!

Hell he doesn't know how to use a "luggage rack" properly, and he wants to be in charge of our Armed Forces !? :scared:

The rational, sane America, or the fundie extremist one?
Because I think the answer changes depending on which half is answering.

America that is worried about paying for college, the America that is worried about mortgage interest rates, the America that wants us out of Iraq......

Hell, might as well combine them all together.

being run out of the madrasa kindergarten in Indonesia.

Once people hear Romney's dog was in a kennel, they'll think it wasn't "so bad." Besides, as much as we love our pets, letting out a rapist who later kills someone trumps everything.

Look how many people know the name Willie Horton. It sunk Dukakis.

they hosed everything down, including the poor dog.

Assholes.
