A little Backbone Please..

I am big Rudy Giuliani fan; however, his weak performance in the recent Republican debate gives cause for concern regarding his candidacy. Giuliani did himself great harm at the debate which may cause the former mayor his front-runner status. Unfortunately, his advisors did little to prepare him for the abortion question, which they had to know was going to be posed to Giuliani. Rudy faltered when asked what his response would be if he were told that Roe v. Wade had been overturned.

At the debate he gave no clear answer regarding the repeal of Roe v. Wade by stating that “it would be OK to repeal it” and then said that “it would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as a precedent". This type of answer is not going to win over the majority of republicans and if he continues to take a Luke warm stance will probably lose in the primary.

In the future, Giuliani needs to answer the abortion question assertively, confidently, succinctly and confidently if he wants the Republican nod for President.

I hope Rudy Giuliani learns from the debate and moves forward with the determination and confidence as the primaries draw near. The bottom line is that you either believe that Roe v. Wade or any other Supreme Court decision be overturned or you don’t. Hopefully at the next debate “America’s Mayor” will make his position clear.

We should repeal Roe Vs. Wade and let the States handle the issue.

Rudy is a front runner because of how strong a leader he would be. People want to feel safe. Rudy will keep us safe.

We should have elected Rudy instead of Bush. Then we would have a real Leader Reganesque.

An open Note to Commissioner Lewendowski:

The upper ball fields in Juniper Valley Park do not belong to the special interest ball clubs that play in for profit leagues and are designed for profit! The fields belong to the people! Not the best players from Long Island signed on to play for Midville. The Ball Fields are for the Taxpaying City Residents.

For the young men and woman who are looking for a place to play. Do you know how frustrating it is to go to the park with my children and a few friends and see perfectly good ball fields just sitting unused? My Tax dollars paid for the renovation, and my tax dollars were paying for the Dodgers to keep the fields locked! Shame on the Parks Department for allowing this! Shame on the elected officials for allowing this! Shame on anyone who supports or condones this behavior! As a member of Our Lady of Hope I just received a letter in my home about this miscarriage of justice linking me to this site. I hope this organization has the moral courage to stand up for the "Real" people of Middle Village, not community board 5 members who are President of a civic and use power to advance themselves. Commissioner stand up for the little guy, the ones who are not corrupting the system!

Holden can't enter the race people will accept someone who is divorced but never accept a coward who abuses his wife and family. Bob is a menace to society.
