You know, I’d like to hear the phrase, “I’m a Gerald Ford Republican” more often. Doesn’t it just roll off your tongue? But we haven’t heard it that often in the 2008 Republican race. Thankfully Rudy Giuliani has decided to step up to the challenge.
“I voted for Gerry Ford,” Giuliani told the Weekly Standard. “I had met him, really respected him–big supporter of Gerry Ford. And then, by the time I left Washington I was a Republican.”
There’s more of course (like the fact that he voted for McGovern in ‘72), but there you have it–Gerald Ford turned Rudy Giuliani into a Republican. This will really strengthen his conservative bona fides. I can’t wait to see the campaign ads.
Something to say?
