In a recent CNN interview, former New York City mayor and possible presidential aspirant, Rudy Giuliani had these words of wisdom for the Republican Party:
…get the heck out of people’s bedrooms and let these things get decided by states….I don’t know [why] the heck the Republican Party wants to be getting involved in people’s sexual lives and personal lives so much….Stay out of it, and I think we would be a much more successful political party if we stuck to our economic conservative roots.… Continue Reading
