America’s Mayor President?
Posted by TFG on 3rd March 2007
Barring some major scandal or loss of his health, I think Giuliani will be the nominee, and very likely the next president. Will he be a successful chief executive? I doubt it. The culture of America in 2008 looks more degraded than that of New York in 1994. And those suicide bombers in Iraq are a lot nastier than the squeegee men of Manhattan.
Man, it’s sure looking that way, isn’t it? I would be very hard-pressed to vote for Rudy because of his gun controlling ways. My personal preference is to believe that Americans won’t stand for such tomfoolery, but I never thought I would see the day when two-thirds of Americans believe that the government should be guaranteeing health insurance.*
My newest little buddy, the Genius Boy Programmer, has stated that he’s on a mission to buy as many guns as he possibly can before the 2008 election. I’m semi-reluctantly coming around to his point of view. The difference is that he thinks the NICS check and FFL licenses aren’t heinous encroachments, and I unqualifiedly do, so I buy from private sellers when I possibly can.
* Standard TFG disclaimer about polls: they’re probably just telling the questioner what they think the questioner wants to hear. Still, even accounting for economic morons, shut-ins who want someone to talk to, and people lying their asses off — that’s a lot of people who think Health Care is part of the Constitution. Well, I’m sure you could find a judge somewhere who thinks so, too. We’re doomed…but at least I’m armed.
