Everybody knew that Giuliani had been elected and re-elected mayor as the Republican and Liberal party candidate. <br /><br />Long was willing to pretty much throw all conservative principles out the window in order to get Giuliani to run on the Republican AND Conservative lines. That meant that Long was willing to overlook Giuliani's longtime positions against guns, in favor of immigration reform including amnesty, gay rights and support of abortion rights. At the time Long wasn't trying to get Giuliani to run for a New York City office, but for the U.S .Senate where Giuliani's vote would have been very important on many liberal versus conservative causes.

Susan Molinari was pro choice. The Conservative Platform was for the sanctity of life throughout its existence. Yet the Conservatives endorsed her. Did some member of Mike Long's family work for Susan?<br /><br />What's Lhota's stand on abortion.
