Could you vote for a presidential candidate who said this??

Did Rudy say that from a balcony?

I'm not a fan of Rudy, but I don't think this statement is that bad.

Freedom does require that people cede to lawful authority. The alternative would be lawlessness and chaos. One of the primary pillars of democracy is a strong legal and justice system, and in order to have a strong legal system, it means people are largely willing to abide by said legal system.

Not without knowing more about their stands on the issues.

I refuse to choose a candidate based on 30 second sound bites or quotes made with none of the context behind the message.

No I would not. I would also not vote for a candidate who states that "eavesdropping on american citizens is not a violation of my civil rights because the only civil right we need is the right for the government to make sure I stay alive".

Mitt Romney

In this war on terrorism, thats how I want the next president to think, and not about how to keep government from catching the enemy before they strike.

i dont know. context is everything. without the context its impossible to tell what he meant by it. I know i say things wrong all the time. And while I am always trying to do better, why would i hold a politician to a higher standard than myself?

sounds a little communistic to me. or the world union, which is real bad, that leads into a one world govt. and heaven forbid that would ever happen to the USA

Never heard that before

Rudy is such a fascist, it's not even funny.

i would be careful. my main hope is that every republican loses.
