Ran for President in 08' under the Bull Moose Party. I think he's the only likable guy that can turn the image the world has of the USA now
What do you think?
Part of me actually wouldn't mind a guy like Guiliani. I know he's a Republican, but he's not as socially retarded as most of them that would be running.

True he was good for NYC. I think we need someone more middle of the road, and not have a complete rubber band effect going to the way left.

I think he is more toward the middle, which is why most Republicans hate him. He has liberal views on a lot of social issues. If you read his history, he did a lot for NYC before 9/11, and had some brilliant ideas. It would be nice to have someone competent in office for a change.
It was not a special circumstance it was the law at the time. After Roosevelt the law was changed to two terms under any circumstance.
I thought it was still 2 terms then, thats why he created the Bull Moose Party to use it as a loophole to get in. So under no Party can you serve more than 2 terms now?

I don't know if Giuliani could win. He is likable and most of the country knows him as the guy who stepped up during the 9/11 attacks so he could draw support from the middle, but for most republicans to win these days they need to draw support from the far right and he did cheat on his wife and it would be interesting to see if the religous whack jobs on the right would support a guy who does that.
SO I know Billy Boy is out of the question..Who do you think will win? Is Gore too soft? How about McCain? Guiliani?
What to do about Iraq? I say we pull back not out, let the inevitable Civil War happen then worry about building a better freer Iraq. Get our soldiers out of harms way

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
The United States Congress proposed the amendment on March 21, 1947. It was ratified by the requisite number of states on February 27, 1951.
During the last elections they talked about how Kerry might ask Bill Clinton to be his VP since there was/is nothing from keeping that from happening, he could have been the VP and if the POTUS dies or was removed from office Clinton COULD have been president for a 3rd time since he was not ELECTED to be the POTUS.

You're thinking of a different Roosevelt
Teddy Roosevelt created the Bull Moose Party after having a falling out with William Howard Taft and the Republican party. The split between the two parties led to Democrat underdog Woodrow Wilson winning the presidency (with only 46% of the popular vote)
Franklin D Roosevelt always ran as a Democrat, and the 22nd Amendment was passed after he died.
Bill was both because there were plenty of strategic bombing going on while he was in office. Yet he was charming and a schmoozer. All the foreign leaders loved him, thus us(a). Now I think any ground war this day and age is dangerous especially against an ideology not an Army should be all Air Strikes and Special Forces. Take out the leaders ,the rest are sheep....
Being a Pennsylvanian --- Ed Rendell - Our current Governor, would make a kick ass president.
He's got the pimp hand to handle anything that comes his way. he's currently running for a 2nd term as governor of PA and handing the republican canidates their asses in the early public opinion polls...
Was also the head of the Democratic National Comittee for a while, Mayor of Philadelphia, which he totally turned around into what it is today.....
Until then ... I'd be all down with Bill Clinton as a comeback. He's got the juice to pull it off.
