CNN YouTube Debate--Republican Values

My name is Emily Chess and I am a junior at the University of Georgia. My question is for Rudy Giuliani. I am a first-time voter and as such, I have been researching all of the candidates trying to educate myself about the issues. Looking at your stance on the issues you seem to have a Democrat's ideology on many of them. In 2007, you once again voted for abortion to be the woman's choice. In 2007, you opposed President Bush's ban on gay marriage. These are extremely important moral issues about which the Republican party feels very differently than you. I'm wondering why you call yourself a Republican when many of your beliefs don't fall in line with the Republican party? Also, should you win the primary and become the Republican candidate, will you act on behalf of the people of the Republican party over your seemingly un-Republican beliefs?

Ok for tax dollars*

*About abortion, there are only two reasons for the state or government to step in and help. 1. Rape of any kind be it insist or of a stranger. 2. The woman giving birth to child would suffer grave and irreversible harm that could result in the death of the mother.

Rupulicans are not hypocrites, democrats are!

@chimchubchubington Please elaborate.

REPUBLICANS BELIEVE:

small government (limited regulations on business)

low taxes (for every single person no matter how rich or poor)

big military (speak softly and carry a big stick)

strong borders (to stop people with diseases or criminals from entering WHILE letting in huge numbers of people)

pro life

pro gun (because if you ban all guns, the criminals will not follow the ban and keep their guns and use them illegally)

why do americans pretend like their votes count. we all know that america is right wing, regardless of who gets elected, the corporations run america. theres nothing liberal about guliani. and he is not socially liberal. in fact, he closed down all the peep shows in nyc. he also increased the number of cops like no other. if your idea of freedom is having cops on each corner, then you have it confused with authoritarianism. get an education please.

Mr. Giuliani, Is it true that you met your third wife when you were cheating on your first wife with the woman who became your second wife?

because they are trying to be Republicans.

Anyway. In the 1800's presidential elections were fought on the grounds of which candidate was better placed to use science and technology in the newly dawning Age of Reason. In 2000, it was fought on who preyed more

Also, The constitution was meant to restrain the government, not the people.

Freedom of Choice

Freedom to dissent

Freedom to Question

Freedom to lead a lifestyle without someone else's morals being made into legestlation!

[Anunison]

Perhaps he is truly republican, that is, he is economically right and socially left, a true libertarian and therefore a lover of freedom, and ergo, a republican. Perhaps he is the only true republican.

[samtheliberal]

how are democrats hypocrites?
