a chance to control the language. 'serial adulterer' as an honorific

snip...> Regarding the Republican race, for many months commentators have said that when the Republican base learns the facts about Rudy Giuliani's personal life an annulled first marriage, a messy divorce, then a third marriage and views on social issues (for abortion rights, gay
rights and gun control, in each case with limits), support for him will evaporate. But such commentary is becoming self-refuting. The insistent reiteration of it during Giuliani's coast-to-coast campaigning is telling activist Republicans - the sort of people who read political commentary - the facts about Giuliani. And so far those facts are not causing a recoil from him: According to the USA Today/Gallup Poll, his lead over John McCain has risen from 31-27 in November to 40-24 today.<<<snip

notice how george will conveniently fails to mention the infidelity when discussing rudys marital problems?

well, DUers, you don't have to! you know what an asshat rudy is, and now you can clue in the rest of the country! here's how:

when typeing guilianis name, just add 'serial adulter' as an honorific, and one he worked hard to earn!

Rudy Guilani, serial adulterer, blah blah balh... see how easy it is? works with other replublican hypocrites also... like Newtie Gingrich!

i'm sure there's more conservative scum out there that have done their level best to achieve this wonderful honorific, or others, like 'indicted lobbyist', 'convicted felon' and 'sexual predator'. i'm sure the liberal :eyes: media will appreciate the help when they, um, 'forget' to mention important details about conservative muckety-mucks!

1. It looks like that might not work this time!
Just this morning, on WJ several callers said "you just have to overlook some past sins when you look at the total man, and see a strong personwho promises to nominatestrict constructionist judges to the SCOTUS!"

I know! When I heard this, I couldn't believe how easily these idiots forgive a Pub but will NEVER give a Dem an ounce of wiggle room!

It really looks like the Pubs will let Giuliani use the Shrub excuse..."I've made mistakes inmy past!"

4. I doubt it that enough of the primary voters
of the rwreligious base will dismiss a) Rudy's serial philandering combined with b) his history of standing against the rw on much of the culture wars (abortion, gay rights) - esp when they are so hyped on judicial appointments.

For years of pandering to the reigiousright in the party combined with the politicization from the pulpit of many conservative religious churches has led that group to hold a big sway in GOP primaries.

2. Giulianni has to make it out of the GOP primaries
Edited on Sun Feb-18-07 08:57 AM by Gman
there is not someone that appeals well the nutcase fundie RW. I still think Brownback will fill that void and end up being the one to beat.

And BTW, people elected Bill Clinton so the tag "serial adulterer" doesn't work with normal people. I think that tag will only play to the RW.
