During an interview on CNN on July 17th, 2011, Former NYC Rudy Giuliani (R), when asked about the debt ceiling crisis said "Too big an issue to play chicken with." Later in the interview, he stated that "the Republican Party needs to get out of people's bedrooms".
Once again, it's not about a liberal or conservative. It's not about being a Republican or a Democrat. It's about doing the right thing for the right reason.
