Giuliani said it was not a matter of loving spending cuts less but loving the Constitution more. "The line-item veto was unconstitutional," he replied. "What the heck can you do about that, if you're a strict constructionist?"

Didn't Giuliani challenge to the line-item veto to prevent Clinton from vetoing some massive federal subsidy to New York City.

Constitution my aching ass!

Hilarous!! Mitt and Ghouliani are both crazier than bed bugs. Mitt's a flopper and Ghouliani is just crazy. Here is the Ghouls definition of Freedom: "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it." I cannot believe that anyone in there right mind would consider voting for either one of these nuts but Ghouliani doesn't need to be anywhere near the levers of the federal government.

What is an authentic conservative? Has one ever been seen by credible witnesses, or is this just another urban legend? And why should we care?

In a better world the GOP frontrunners would be RON PAUL and a cup of lukewarm tea where someone put in milk and lemon.

Giuliani on freedom;

"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."

He makes Bush seem like a libertarian.

Well, speaking of these shrewd poloticos, you gotta recall Ted Kennedy's characterization of Roomney that the guy's is multiple-choiced; and that also applies to Giuliani, even more so. Which is to say these men are of convenient principle, if at all.
