Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani unleashed a blistering attack Thursday on Mitt Romney, saying he?s never seen anyone change positions on core issues as often or as quickly as the ex-Massachusetts governor.
?I ran against him in ?07 and ?08, I?ve never seen a guy change his position so many times, so fast, on a dime,? Giuliani said on MSNBC?s Morning Joe.

?He figures out there are embryos and changes? his mind on abortion, Giuliani said. ?He was pro-mandate [for health care] for the whole country, then he becomes anti-mandate and takes that page out of his book, and republishes the book.?
Giuliani said that these flip-flops will make for electoral disaster.
?I think that is a great vulnerability? what will Barack Obama do to that?? the former New York City mayor asked. ?What Barack Obama will do with that [is say] ?this is a man without a core, a man without substance, a man that will say anything to become president of the United States.??
By contrast, Giuliani glowingly compared former Republican speaker Newt Gingrich to Ronald Reagan.
?I think Newt has his set of vulnerabilities, but a more consistent position with real ideas like Ronald Reagan had,? he said. ?I remember the Carter White House just dying for Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was the dumb actor, said incendiary things.?
Giuliani said he was defending Gingrich as a candidate ?in this imperfect world, and maybe also reacting to everybody coming after Newt. It?s getting ridiculous now, it?s like this guy is some kind of monster.?
?It may be that Newt is appealing to something that Mitt isn?t appealing to,? he added.
Giuliani continued his attack in a later appearance on Fox News, blasting Romney for being ?so darn negative? in his campaign.
?I was really offended by his comment that Newt Gingrich is ?zany?,? he said. ?That isn?t the kind of language that should be coming from a candidate and it reminds me of what he did in ?08, where he attacked me, he attacked McCain, he attacked Huckabee. Whoever was out front, he would attack.?
He added of voters, ?They don?t want to see a Republican savaging another Republican.?
Giuliani also expressed confidence that Gingrich could seize the Republican nomination.
?I think Newt can get elected. I don?t see why Newt can?t get elected,? he said. ?Romney?s about three points better than Newt. That means nothing.?
