Presumptive GOP Presidential Candidate Giuliani Suggest Republican Party Stay Out Of The Bedrooms Of Nation; Adulterous Former Mayor Still Thinks Same-Sex Marriage “Wrong” But Can “Live With It”

Although he may not agree with the vote in New York to legalize same-sex marriage, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said the Republican Party should stay out of the bedrooms of the nations and focus on fiscal policy. "I think the Republican Party would be well advised to get the heck out of people's bedrooms and let these things get decided by states," Giuliani said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union. "We'd be a much more successful political party if we stuck to our economic, conservative roots." New York became the sixth state to legalize same sex marriage in June when a bill passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature was signed by Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo. Giuliani, who is considering a run for president in 2012, has long supported civil unions. Although he said he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, he can "live with" the legalization in New York. "I think it's wrong, but there are other things that I think are wrong that get decided by democratic vote," Giuliani told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley. "I see more harm, however, by dwelling so much on this subject of gays and lesbians and whether it's right or wrong in politics."
