Hey, if people have to pay for things, that means Giuliani is partly on the hook for my next gun when I get my carry permit!  Woo hoo!

Partly?  I’d say all the way.  I suppose it’d make it easier for everyone if you just charged it to his credit card.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

Guiliani has always been a better fit for the Libertarian Party than the GOP; HOWEVER, this position would rule that out.  Even for pro-abort Libertarians are not for public funding.

Does he have a deal with Bloomberg’s Unity Party?

How do we get a new “Constitutional Right” without amending the Constitution?

If govt control of the economy were the way to go, the Soviet Union would be the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the world.

Thanks to Obama, America remains the only country where it is illegal to drill our own oil!

I think they “made it up.”

The “right” to an abortion is based on the “right” to privacy, which doesn’t exist.
If you think it does, try invoking it April 17, when the government demands to know what your income was last year.
Good luck.

No Free Lunch

It’s the Supreme Court rewriting the Constitution, without any approval from the voters. It’s govt by small minority=tyranny.

I think you need those special spectacles that Benjamin Franklin invented in National Treasure to read that part.

What makes you think Fed money would pay for it? NY has enough taxes they can probably foot the bill themselves. Its a state issue and we all have freedom to exit… so if it bugs you maybe you should pack it in.

well he is running for president right?  A national office, right?  And he did say it was a constitutional right?  That’s the US Constitution, right?  Wouldn’t you think that if he thinks the US Constitution said that it was good for the people of New York got it paid for them then that would extend out to the rest of the US.

That wasn’t a very good counterpoint sparkles.

you’re out on a limb and I don’t buy it. while you may not be willfully misconstruing Rudy’s comments, he is never going to suggest that Texas pay for NY’s abortions while making a bid on the GOP candidacy for pres.

Of course not, he’ll wait until he’s in office to screw over the people of Texas. 

That’s why we have to be very careful before the election and before the primary.

I’m sure that Rudy’s handlers are appalled that he’d make this statement.  There’s goes months of positioning work.

Of course not

Well, if that’s not what he said, maybe I’d be best if you didn’t say that’s what he said. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Guliani - always have. He’s an elitist and his political positions are hard to differentiate from Hillary’s.

Geez sparkie you’re slow.  Are you really claiming that everyone in New York is in favor of paying for abortions?  If not then he’s doing what I said he is.

He just said that was his policy and he’s running for national office.

I don’t want to give him the power to do the same for the rest of the country.

Sparkie, I reread my posts and I don’t think I was very clear.

Guiliani said that he thinks it’s a constitutional right and therefore there must be public funding.

I don’t see a person with that view will not impose that on the US as a whole if he has that power.

Now he did say some nonsense about doing it state by state.  But that makes no sense considering it’s a in his opinion a Constitutional issue.

I think that state by state is a red herring suggested by his political handlers.

Sparkie, you’ve got to ditch that avatar.  I was going to post some piece of erudition, but it ended up being about boobs.

Carry on. I love it when either of the two shyte parties running this country are in the midst on in-fighting. Personally I think ALL the candidates that have announced so far are all wankers. Looks like another Pres election in which I vote for Harry Browne again.

We seem to agree a bit on the current field.  I don’t like any of ‘em either.

Whistler, I have to agree with you. Giuliani is trying desperately to stay centrist and not piss of feminists/pro-abortionists.  It’s one thing to grudgingly leave Roe V Wade well enough alone, it’s another to presume the people must pay for this elective surgery.
Giuliani is not the guy.  However, if he’s the best choice of 2.  I’d hold my nose and vote for him.

That’s why we need better candidates today.

This concept of settled law fascinates me. The Supreme Court in this case established a right to abortion on the unconstitutional grounds of a right to privacy, then because the American people did not Amend the Constitution to deny these people a right to abortion and/or impeach the liberal justices involved, just by virtue of the fact a right to abortion has not been stopped by these methods, it automatically becomes settled case law. So, the Supremes can appeal to International law as have greater standing than our Constitution in this or that matter and unless we amend the constitution and/or impeach these super legislative justices, forevermore international law has power over the United States Constitution and we no longer live under a Constitution at all. Incredible logic!

Last, Rob is absolutely right that there is a big difference between saying you have a right to do something and then forcing the taxpayer to subsidize whatever you require or desire to exercise that right!

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it deep within us, so that it appears nowhere on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future.

It makes him a typical politician.
