Ryan Sager in the NY Sun reported that Rudy Giuliani has announced his opposition to the New Hampshire’s new law creating civil unions for Lesbians & Gay men.
Sager and many bloggers have pointed out that this is the latest change of position and pander to the right by Rudy. But nobody that I have seen has pointed out that this position by Rudy is a sharp contradiction to what he explained was his philosophy only 6 weeks ago on April 10th.
Rudy said then – “One of the great beauties of the kind of government we have, which is a national/federal government, is that we can make — on a broad range of issues — we can make different decisions in different parts of the country,” Mr. Giuliani said. “We have different sensitivities, and at different times we are going to come to different decisions, and I think that is best left up to the states.”
That sounds to me to be like the defense a real federalist would make of New Hampshire elected officials (State legislature and Governor – no “activist” judges) passing a law to add to the rights of homosexuals.
But Rudy’s statement on April 10th was not referring to anything like that.
He was defending the right of the state of Alabama to continue to display that symbol of racism and treason – the Confederate flag!
How much more evidence is needed before Rudy’s cheerleaders realize that Rudy does not stand for anything and will say and do anything to get ahead?
