WATCH "The Cafferty File":
Another GOP president?.
How much of a problem is it for Rudy Giuliani that he contributed to Planned Parenthood and at the same time says he opposes abortion?
Planned Parenthood counsels young women regarding pregnancy, STDs, and birth control. Donating to Planned Parenthood does not mean we are donating to abortion but possibly avoiding an unwanted pregnancy by teaching birth control and avoiding STDs through education.
-Lori, Kenosha, WisconsinDear Jack, Most Americans who support Roe v. Wade would not want a family member to have an abortion, but feel any woman should have the right to choose for themselves. Unfortunately, the vast majority in the Republican Party believe you should never take a life, unless it's an Iraqi.
-Dave, Florida
The only thing that matters to Republican voters is whether or not Rudy can beat Hillary. As long as he holds his lead over her in a head to head match-up, Republican voters will forgive Rudy anything.
-David, Athens, Texas
Jack, Giuliani cannot have it both ways. There is nothing like half pregnant. The mayor is playing politics with his position on abortion and all Republicans can see his wavering position and I am sure they will let him know their feelings in the primaries.
-Baskar, Roswell, GeorgiaRudy Giuliani is a politician. He is entitled to a personal view and belief, while being politically expedient. When running for mayor of a major Northeastern city or state, you must be open to pro-choice, and gay rights to win. It is not shocking when these same candidates want to run on a national stage that they alter their views for the more socially conservative South and Mountain states. The days of being able to say things in one geographical area and another elsewhere are over with 24-hour cable news.

Should Americans be allowed to buy prescription drugs from abroad?
If we cannot protect the U.S. food supply and there are billions of dollars in counterfeit movies, hand bags and everything else out there, how in the world can we have any chance of assuring safety of drugs that come from abroad? I understand the idea that this may be helping the U.S. drug makers, but if a person is ill, the last thing they need is fake drugs.
-Orville
Oh, please. How much more painfully obvious could it be? This administration doesn't give a damn about the safety or non-safety of imported drugs, and they sure don't give a damn about the American citizens. We import nearly all our food from China and we're being poisoned by it. But does our government leap into action? Oh, hell no.
-Martin, Montrose, IowaHow come captialism/competition is only the cry of the corporations when it benefits them instead of when it benefits both them and the consumer?
-Jeanne, Laguna Woods, California
Of course we should be allowed to import drugs. If we can import food from all over the world without inspections why not drugs? We are evidently eating melamine and nobody in Congress cares. Think of the pet food old folks are forced to eat while trying to buy their meds.
-Gayle, Cave City, KentuckyWhy would President Bush continue to support Paul Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank when the bank has found him guilty of ethics violations?You can use this for all situations where a Bush appointee gets into trouble: George Bush will support that person because he does not know anyone else that is in his closed little circle he can trust e.g. Harriet Miers, Gonzales, etc., etc. Who would he recommend to be his replacement?
-Ray, Los Angeles, CaliforniaHe supports everyone who knows where the bodies are buried.
-Lyn, Red Bank, New JerseyJack, Of course he continues to support Wolfowitz. Bush doesn't understand the meaning of the phrase "ethical behavior"... look at his legacy over the past six years after promising to restore decency to the office of the presidency.
-Mike, Etters, PennsylvaniaBecause Bush values "loyalty" above God, country, and common sense. Also, I bet Wolfowitz has a book in him, much like Tenet, that the Bushies would like to avoid dealing with. They can't all meet convenient ends like Kenny Lay.
