Rudy Watch<\/a>. His mission? Oppose the candidacy of Rudy Giuliani for president. As many know, Rudy &quot;disagrees&quot; with Church teachings in re: to abortion, protecting marriage, and ESCR. Looks like Nate wants Catholics to get to know the real Rudy. Great idea Nate!<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">Reminds one of Catholic[?] Kerry Watch which Christopher, Jeff, and Oswald contributed to during the 2004 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">The thought of  Rudy Giuliani running for President gives me gas pains. I don&#8217;t think he can make it through the primaries when so much of what he endorses is so blatantly liberal in the modern sense. But I am definitely not looking forward to conservatives supporting him with the &quot;but he is strong on defense&quot; excuse. Kerry in GOP clothing isn&#8217;t much better than the original. I hope a campaign of &quot;Tough on Crime, Tough on unborn Babies&quot; just doesn&#8217;t resonate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Out of the current possibles only Sen. Brownback could receive my full support. But historically Senators just don&#8217;t make good presidential candidates and I don&#8217;t rate his chances very high. But I would certainly love seeing a Catholic convert whose positions don&#8217;t make me squirm become President. If it happened though I think Bush Derangement Syndrome would be mild compared to hatred aimed at a President Brownback where you would think his middle name had become &quot;Theocracy.&quot; I don&#8217;t think the know-nothings would have anything on the type of rhetoric you would see associated with a serious Brownback run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via David at Catholics in the Public Square Nate Nelson has fired up a new blog called Catholic?
