Fred vs Rudy On Gun Control; Romney vs Rudy On Sanctuary CitiesAnybody who knows me knows I’ve always cared deeply about the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. So I’ve always felt sort of relieved when I flew back home to where that particular civil liberty gets as much respect as the rest of the Bill of Rights. Not really sure it's fair to knock Giuliani for Nurse Bloomberg's stupidities, but certainly Giuliani hasn't insulated himself by embracing the Second Amendment. The NYP blares GIULIANI RIPS UNDECLARED FRED THOMPSON, but if the NYP thinks this is a "rip," they really need to get out more: A top ally to Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani yesterday blasted Fred Thompson for attacking the former mayor -- and New York City -- before even declaring his candidacy for president. So, so lame. I hope Molinari doesn't actually believe that "attacking every resident of New York City" is going to count against Thompson in the Republican Primary. Reminds me of the Woody Allen line in Annie Hall: "Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here. " Yeah, me too. More lame "rips:" ... On to Romney: Giuliani rival Mitt Romney also has ratcheted up his bashing of New York as a "sanctuary city" in recent weeks for providing services to illegal immigrants. Bryan and people at The Corner say Giuliani's defense against this charge is somewhat convincing, but, even without listening to it, I rather doubt that. I've heard his schtick before and I imagine this is more of the same: when asked about illegal immigration, he responds, not entirely on-point, about NYC's well-known track record in reducing crime. That's not really an answer. The problem, as I grow weary of writing, is that Giuliani is trying to claim he hasn't changed his policies while assuring us all his policies (which haven't changed) are nevertheless now different. Which part of that goofy formulation, if any of it, is true is hard to know. Is he telling the truth when he says his policies haven't changed? If so, he's not electable. Is he telling the truth when he says his policies (while having not changed) are now (though they haven't changed) exactly what the GOP base wants? I find it hard to believe that when he keeps talking up a "serious border enforcement program" that differs from the Bush/Reid/McCain shamnesty only on a few smallball points, and only arguably so, like a "highly technological fence" (exactly what the Shamnesties were selling) and "biometric ID cards" (also what the Shamsters were selling. We need more than nuanced repositionings and emphases; we need a full repudiation of former policies, which were, indeed, fully supportive of sanctuary cities and encouraging illegal immigrants by a stealth repeal of the law through simple nonenforcement. I'll give Giuliani's defense a listen, but I really doubt I'm going to hear anything different than I've heard before. He may be superficially persuasive in selling this twaddle, but well-sold or not, it's still twaddle. Bandwidth Exceeded: With everyone linking it, the audio file is down at the moment.
