In a stunning politicization of national security, Rudy Giuliani said today that “if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001. But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped.” (Via Atrios)
I don’t think this will sell very well to the American people. They’ve seen the number of terrorists in the world grow under Republican leadership. They’ve seen their world become much more dangerous. Where is his evidence, hmm? What proof does he have that we’re ‘at risk’ here? Does he think he’s another ‘decider’?
April 24th, 2007 at 10:03 pmFrom the moment the next Democratic President takes office, every Republican in America will be praying for another big terror attack like 9/11.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:03 pmYeah, cause Rudy did such a good job of anticipating 9/11 and stopping it.

Well my thoughts.. 9-11 was allowed to happen to grab power.
We won’t see another 9-11 under Bush, then his whole mantra of fighting them over there goes down the crapper..
But I think we will after 2008 and there’s a Dem president. GOP’ers are mentally sick. We know it was a GOP’er who did the last terrorist attack mailing Anthrax to Democrats. We know it’s always the GOP’ers who commit things like the Oklahoma Bombing, and of course there’s bombing “planned parenthoods”. Not to mention it’s always those GOP’ers caught molesting children.
The GOP is a virus upon the world.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:12 pmBut, Rudy, it was a Republican White House and a Republican Congress that allowed, and some say promoted, September 11.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:12 pmYou know, I think the American People Have had their say about tactics like Rudis’. Basically they’ve had it with them. I think “America’s Mayor” looks and sounds like a perfect fool saying that. It won’t work. NOT THIS TIME!!!
April 24th, 2007 at 10:12 pmWhy does Rudi Giuliani hate the American People and his Country?
April 24th, 2007 at 10:13 pmBecause Republicans have done such a good job at running this ‘war’, and quelling the unrest that puts America at risk of such attacks…

Typical Rebulican DRONE!!!!
See what your “hero” said about WTC7??
http://www.prisonplanet.com/ articles/ april2007/ 240407giulianilie.htm
“Rudy Giuliani has been caught in a bizarre lie about WTC 7, in which he claims the building collapsed in stages over a sustained period of time, when in reality the structure fell in under seven seconds.
…
Giuliani is asked if he had expected the twin towers to collapse on 9/11. Here is his response.
“Yeah, but not in the way they did.”
“It occurred to us all that they might ultimately collapse over….the way buildings usually collapse, which is in stages.
….
It looked like at some point the top of the building would come off, and then maybe the middle of the building and then maybe there’d be a shell left….the way number 7 came down 4 or 5 o’clock in the afternoon - over a period of time - but the idea that it would implode, the implosion that took place, I actually didn’t realize that until much later.”
April 24th, 2007 at 10:16 pmThis coming from the guy who thought it was a good idea to put NYC’s Emergency Operations Center in the WTC. Riiiiight.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:17 pmExley -
As someone who, despite not being a native New Yorker, WAS living in NY when 9/11 happened, I’ll make some concessions.
Rudy did show some nice leadership right after the disaster. More than Bush anyways, though that sets the bar low.
THat said…it makes it that much worse that Guliani would politicize this so much, as to constantly invoke the spectre of 9/11 and outright claim that if his opponents win, America is inviting another attack of that magnitude. He’s not worried about safety at this point. He’s worried about painting Democrats as the doom of this country, and that is where he becomes a grade A 100% asshat.

April 24th, 2007 at 10:19 pmI had to type this by hand because the PDF is an image instead of text… so I only got article I (because I am too lazy to type the rest…) and there may be a few typos on my part… a link to the rest is at the end….
Synapsis of Articles of Impeachment Against Vice President Richard B. Cheney
Articles ofimpeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America inthe name of itself and of the peopleof the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Artice I
The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons ofmass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. ArmedForces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests.
(1) Despite all evidence to the contrary, the Vice President actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.
(2) Preceding the March 2003 invasion of Iraq the Vice President was fully informed that no legitimate evidence existed of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The Vice President pressured the intelligence community to change their findings to enable the deception of the citizens and Congress of the United States.
(3) The Vice President’s actions corrupted or attempted to corrupt the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, an intelligence document issued on October 1, 2002 vote to autorize the use of force. The Vice President’s actions prevented the necessary reconciliation of facts for the National Intellgence Estimate which resulted in a high number of dissenting opinions from technical experts in two federal agencies.
The Vice President subverted the national security interests of the United States by setting the stage for the loss of more than 3,300 United States service members; the loss of 650,000 Iraqi citizens since the U.S. invasion; the loss of approximately $500 billion in war costs which has increased our federal debt; the loss of military readiness within the United States Armed Services due to overextension, lack of training and lack of equipment; the loss of United States credibility in world affairs; and the decares of likely blowback created by the invasion of Iraq.

April 24th, 2007 at 10:22 pmMaybe what they mean is that there will be another ANTHRAX terrorist attack… and they actually can claim to have a pretty good insider knowledge on that happening again….
April 24th, 2007 at 10:23 pmRudy, Rudy, Rudy…
I see you’re taking a page from the Dick Cheney playbook. That’s so 2004.

April 24th, 2007 at 10:28 pmGuiliani - McCain - Romney. Nuff said.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:28 pm#23 Wayne,
If you look at the Politico article and what Giuliani is quoted as saying, despite the breathless (and inaccurate) headline, he never says that if a Democrat is elected a ‘new 9/11′ will definitely occur. The Politico (and TP) headline is misleading. What Giuliani is saying is that Republican and Democrats have very different ideas on how to to fight Al Qaeda and other Islamic extremist groups.
Here is what he actually said:
America would ultimately defeat terrorism no matter which party gains the White House.
“But the question is how long will it take and how many casualties will we have?†Giuliani said. “If we are on defense (with a Democratic president,) we will have more losses and it will go on longer.†— A perfecly reasonable argument and one with which I agree.
Let’s look at what else he said is proposed by Democrats:
“We will wave the white flag on Iraq.” True. You can’t deny that.
We will cut back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation ” True. Democrats have been calling for that now for years.
“and we will be back to our pre-Sept. 11 attitude of defense.†Also undeniably true.
So, Wayne, what did Giuliani say there that is not accurate?
April 24th, 2007 at 10:29 pmOh are you kidding me?!!?!?
But who are we kidding…most of the American people are dumb enough to buy this line of bullsh*t….
April 24th, 2007 at 10:29 pmRudy’s a sack of shit.
-GSD
April 24th, 2007 at 10:30 pmWhat a crazy loon.
He says he doesn’t know how things are going in Iraq but he can stop any terrorist attacks? riiiight.
I wonder if he wears superhero jammies to bed.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:34 pmOh sure, I follow this logic. Why don’t you? Because Democrats want the troops out of Iraq and more cops on the streets in this country, that surely must mean a Democratic executive branch would be far less likely to prevent and/or respond to (appropriately, i.e. to the correct antagonist) an attack.
Perhaps it is logic like this that drove the voters within the geographic targets of 2001 (NY and DC) to turn out en masse against Bush and his Bush*t Buddies in 2004.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:34 pmWhat Giuliani is saying is that Republican and Democrats have very different ideas on how to to fight Al Qaeda and other Islamic extremist groups. -Exley
Yeah, a Democrat would have focussed on Afganistan where the terrorists were, and not gotten us into the meatgrinder called Iraq , where the terrorists were NOT.
And I read the article, he was pushing the same old, tired Cheney talking points.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:36 pmHe was in the vicinity when 911 happened, but if i remember right, wasnt he in london on 7/7, both him and gwb were in london on 7/7 if i remember right, pretty weird. Rudy your a terrorism magnet!
April 24th, 2007 at 10:39 pm#27 Kryptik, The idea that Giuliani is “politicizing” 9/11 any more than Democrats is silly. How many times have Democrats said that America is “less safe now” that it was after 9/11? How many times do Democrats say that Bush and the GOP have neglected homeland security (i.e. ports, rails, chemical plants) in favor of prosecuting the war in Iraq? Numerous times….Both sides have ideas on how best to fight the war on terrorism and protect the homelan and both sides are debating it. That is called a campaign and politics.
Democrats are within their rights to say that they do not believe the way the Republicans are fighting terrorism is ineffective and wrongheaded.
By the same token, Giuliani is with his rights to say that he believes that Democrats policies towards fighting terrorism are wrongheaded.
To argue that Democrats may criticize Republicans on the war on terrorism, but that when GOPers criticize Democrats it is “politicizing” the war is a double-standard and silly.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:39 pmLet’s see Rudy spew his shit to the “Jersey Girls” or the Skyscraper Safety Campaign ladies:
http://www.skyscrapersafety.org
Sally Regenhard lost her firefighter son on 9/11. She has promised to tail Il Douche at every campaign stop, and she has been seen on the TV at protests outside the campaign venues.
She is determined to make life hell for that assclown.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:45 pmGotta love the arrogance of Rudy. He needs to be reminded that the REPUBLICAN administration of Bush & Co. IGNORED the warnings before 9/11. Why should we trust any republican to “anticipate” anything that would require logical thought. Sorry, but you guys cannot be trusted one iota. Rudy, go back to your adulterer ways and don’t bore us with your BS.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:47 pmI guess that Rudy must not have read this 2002 CNN interview with Bin Laden. The real reason that they hate us, straight from the horse’s mouth…

April 24th, 2007 at 10:47 pmIf Rudy and the Repubs are such bad-asses, how come they didn’t stop the “first” 9-11? It was on their watch.
Ya’ know why? Because they’re freekin’ Republican trash-talkin, lyin’, instigatin’, crime-commitin’ pussies.
God, what a bunch of douche bags.
April 24th, 2007 at 10:48 pm#46,
So, Wayne, do you approve the idea of more troops in Afghanistan to pursue and destroy Al Qaeda and the Taliban? If so, we are in agreement.
I agree and have said here at TP many timeswith that the Iraq war was an error and distracted us from finishing the job in Afghanistan.
Are you also saying that Giuliani is wrong when he says want to “cut back” on the Patriot Act?

The patriot act needs to be repealed, period.
And yes, getting Osama bin Forgotten should have been priority ONE for the last 6 years. Not only for 9/11 but also for the US Cole and other acts he was behind.
He is responsible for the murders of Americans, even if by chance the conspiricy theorists are right and he wasn’t responsible for 9/11. He killed soldiers with the Cole bombing.
He needs aprehended and tried. Rule of Law. Period.
“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02
“I am truly not that concerned about him.”
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden’s whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)
Personally, these quotes piss me off to no end.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:10 pmExley,
You seem to share some communication traits with Richard Pearle. You are both exceedingly polite and proper, while maintaining untenable positions that fly in the face of both fact and logical analysis. You acknowledge common ground between yourselves and your political/philosophical opposites when, in fact, no such common ground exists.
Please find a Republican Gentleman’s blog - your schtick will play well there.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:12 pmRudy, if you know something, you’d better tell us now. We know what Reagan did with the Iran Hostages. It won’t fly again, so if something happens, you should be ready to answer a lot of questions about what you knew when you said
“MANCHESTER, N.H. - - Rudy Giuliani said if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001.
But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped.”
April 24th, 2007 at 11:14 pmThis reminds me of the old Italian Mafia threat for protection - “Pay us, or those guys will hurt you. We are not trying to hurt you, but if you pay us, we can keep those bad guys away.”
April 24th, 2007 at 11:16 pmAnd this is New How? It’s S.S.D.D.
This is right from the GOP play book and the 9/11 Whore is hardly original. Just wait till Sen. McCain and the other GOP “Candidates” use it…

US - 46 Terrorism-Related Convictions Spanning First 5 Years
The Center On Law and Security at the New York University School of Law created a terrorism study entitled, ” Terrorism Trial Report Card – US Edition” for the period of 9/2001 – 9/2006.
In summary, after 5 years, 1007 charges were initially announced by DOJ as terrorism-related cases.
Those 1007 were reclassified down to 161 terrorism-related cases and 866 as non-terrorism-related cases.
Of the 161 terrorism-related cases, only 46 convictions were obtained over the 1st 5 years since 9/11/01. That works out to .495 convictions per US Attorney office spanning 5 years (.099 per year).
“No sleeper cell with logistical or tactical links to al Qaeda has been convicted of plotting an attack to be carried out within the U.S.”
“The vast majority of cases turn out to include no link to terrorism once they go to court.”
“Nobody affiliated with a radical Islamic group has been charged with crimes related to chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons”.
http://www.lawandsecurity.org/publications/TTRCComplete.pdf
UK - 40 Terrorism-Related Convictions Spanning First 5.25 Years
The Guardian Unlimited wrote an article entitled, “1166 anti-terror arrests net 40 convictions” published March 5, 2007. These were cases for the period of 9/11/2001 – 12/31/2006.
In summary, after 5.25 years, 1166 people were arrested with 221 charged with some type of terror-related charge.
Of the 221 terrorism-related cases, only 40 convictions were obtained over the 1st 5.25 years since 9/11/01. That works out to 8 convictions per year.

Article entitled, “The Confession Backfired” published March 17, 2007 By Paul Craig Roberts
“Despite having held and tortured hundreds of detainees for years in Gitmo, and we don’t know how many more in secret prisons around the world, the US government has come up with only 14 ‘high value’ detainees.”
“In other words, the government has nothing on 99 percent of the detainees who allegedly are so dangerous and wicked that they must be kept in detention without charges, access to attorneys and contact with families.”

Sadly the increased crime rate in our country since the Bush administration has been in charge has increased, I worry more about my safety from “every day crime”, more than I do OBL.
It’s really pathetic how basically 30% of this country are so enraged against Islam, it’s frighteningly like Hitler used the religion card against the Jews, placing all of Germany’s problems on the Jews.

I have never, ever been more confused. Shit, give me a billion and I’ll hire about 2000 mercenaries, and we’d have the _ucker dead in a month. It is pathetic. And it is far more pathetic that very few are not absolutely outraged. You know, the Republican have a lot of blow and go. Nice Army and Navy ads. Lot of macho crap. Yet the whole thing is run by a bunch of simpering wimps like Bush, Cheney and Rove who will certainly go down in history as the opposite of the smart commanders and leaders that brought us manuevers we saw in WW11 like Midway, D Day. Chimpy and Co. is a PR show put on by the Oil companies and the Military companies. How many Delta and Seals are thinking right now, What the ___uck are we doing here when we could be cutting off the head of this snake ?” What a waste of our men and women. Cut down on some unimportant desert road by a roadside bomb made in China, then purchased by Iran who got the money from us. Sick yet ? Yea, keep it up. Keep buying at Walmart and keep “votin” Republican. That’s great. ___ucking idiots.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:36 pm#75 Was I wrong? I know he has always been very far to the right but it seemed he was at least intellectually honest way back when.
Comment by JPark
He put up a good front, but he’s just as dishonest as they come. I had an issue with him yesterday, and he demonstrated his true character — as he has before. I’m done with that one.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:38 pmOf course he warns of another attack that is atleast as severe as 9/11 and he is probably right!
It’s the same old Right Wing GOP strategy that they have been playing for years and Dems fall right into it again and again.
“If you elect a DEM president, he/she will raise your taxes”
Of course! To get the Nation out from under the HUGE national debt the GOP racked up while in control!
“If a DEM president is elected, American will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11″
No friggin kidding! Because this GOP admistration, being short on thought intelligence and planning has gone gung-ho into an innocent country to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people! Krikey man! If this doesn’t warrant a return attack, I don’t know what does? Flip the situation around and we would have nuked Iraq 3 years ago had they send 180 thousand troops into our country and killed GW. Seriously… what do you expect to happen? When will our government learn that we as a nation must play by all the same rules we hold other countries to.
Frankly, we should have done ABSOLUTLY NOTHING militarily after 9/11. Same holds true for Iraq since Iraq and 9/11 have nothing to do with each other. What we SHOULD HAVE DONE is call up Great Britain, France, Italy, Australia (and New Zealand) and all of our other allies and said “You better get your friggin army in there are defend us!” Then it wouldn’t be American tax payers footing the bill for this “GLOBAL” war on terror. It wouldn’t be mostly American soldiers dying each day, and it would give “the axis of evil” even more political/military marketing to use against us by painting America as the great greedy world aggressor.
Where are the soldiers of our GLOBAL ALLIES on this GLOBAL war?
Frankly, I think the best thing the Dems could do is MAKE SURE THEY LOSE THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TO THE GOP! Let the GOP clean up it’s own mess and expose itself for the right-wing greed mongers that most sensible people know to stay away from.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:39 pmHow would he know that unless he is a terrorist as well or even worse a trader?
April 24th, 2007 at 11:42 pmMany thanks to David Gable. Great post. Great info. And yes, if they can get votes out of it, they’ll try to make you afraid of coconuts.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:42 pm#82 I am not usually fooled by the Elizabeth act. I am ashamed of myself.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:43 pmOne thing is a fact——we were at risk for a big terrorist attack when Bush was elected in 2000. (IF he was elected.)
There’s not a shred of evidence for Guiliani’s nonsense. Terrorists can attack anytime regardless of who’s president.
April 24th, 2007 at 11:45 pmJPV, I agree. Bush and Congress (GOPers and Dems) have done an absolutely atrocious job of protecting our borders.

I think if you take a look at my subsequent posts (currently postings 41 and 48) you’ll understand my meaning and recognize that the Politico’s and TP’s headlines are quite misleading. Click the link and see what Giuliani ACTUALLY said.
And, Zooey, are you STILL embarrassed that you failed to see that I posted a link to the full statement and incorrectly accused me of not providing Reid’s full statement….Don’t be so hard on yourself, Zooey. So you made a mistake…No big deal. Forgive yourself. I know I have forgiven you, if that makes you feel any better.

Forgive me for stumbling into something, but this looks to me like Barfly reminiding all of the success of the Gingrich Revolution in 1994 and Exley denying the facts of the GOP control of Congress since that date until this January….. care to help me out?
April 25th, 2007 at 12:17 amNo Exley, neither headline was misleading (by the way, Politico is a right wing rag). Giulliani claimed Dems would wave the white flag and claimed if Republicans won there wouldn’t be any terrorist attacks. You can parse all you wan’t but that implies there will be an attack if a Dem is elected.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:18 amInterviewer:So Mr. Giuliani, what is your position on free market deregulation and would you, as president, seek to instill the same economic philosophy?
Giuliani:Nine one one. September the eleventh, two-thousand and one, Nine eleven… Nine and a one and a one and an oh-one.
Interviewer: Uhh… ok… Moving on. Many view Barack Obama as inexperienced, being the junior Senator from Illinois. However, your highest level of office is Mayor. Media outlets champion you as “America’s Mayor.” Mayors of major American cities rarely deal with influential foreign policy decisions. What makes you more experienced?
Giuliani: Nine. One… and uh… one.

April 25th, 2007 at 12:21 am#99 Wayne, I think he was nothing but a center-right politician that benefitted from an excellent economy. Mostly he was ok (i.e. he didn’t do too much damage) but no liberal would have let NAFTA and welfare reform pass with no comment, much less support such elitist legislation.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:21 amComment by Sweet Chunks
LMAO.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:22 amJPark, The headline is quite misleading. Nowhere does Giualiani say there will be a “new 9/11″ if a Democrat is elected, despite the dishonest use of quotation marks around the phrase. To put a quote around a phrase that Giuliani never uses according to the quoted parts of the article is journalistic sloppiness, at best…Dishonesty, at worst.
Giuliani even says “America would ultimately defeat terrorism no matter which party gains the White House.”
He says, however, that Dems and GOPers differ on HOW best and most effectively to fight the war….That is no different from what Democratic candidates are saying; to wit, that THEY — the Dems — would do a better job of prosecuting the war on terrorism.
Read the actual article, JPark, beyond the blaring and inaccurate headline.
(And the Politico is a “right wing rag?” Where do you get that?)
April 25th, 2007 at 12:28 amno liberal would have let NAFTA and welfare reform pass with no comment, much less support such elitist legislation.

But, but, the party in control of the House and the Senate sets the legislative agenda and controls which bills are up for vote and by its majority, which laws are passed.

April 25th, 2007 at 1:36 amOne for the azzholes who support TRAITORS Bush and Giuliani and Cheney:
STRANGE that Bush and Cheney REFUSED TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH TO THE 9/11 Commission.
i.e. SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH TO THE USA about their involvement with 9/11, the Bin Ladens, and the Saudi TERRORIST FINANCIERS.
Attacking Iraq.
Exposing CIA operatives specializing in WMD for REVENGE.
Politicizing the Justice Department
Look no further. THESE are your TRAITORS.
How ANYONE can say they made the US “safer” is PITIFUL…
April 25th, 2007 at 1:40 amFearmongering. It’s what works.
April 25th, 2007 at 1:59 am#139 The truth doesn’t work out so well for neocons.
April 25th, 2007 at 2:08 amIf it weren’t for Sept. 11, Giuliani and the rest of the GOP and Bush admin scumlappers would be dirt spots in history. The neocons need terrorists.
GOP Jesus says: “Crap, that’s the building they were going to hit? Turd Boy, Dickhole, and Rummie thought it was going to be the Statue of Liberty or Mount Rushmore or The Washington Monument (after all, the Taliban had just got done blowing up a couple sculptures in the desert). Jeez, perhaps they shouldn’t have sat on their hands with the intel. Oh well, good thing they own defense companies and oil stock. Hmm, it’s also a good thing the American sheeple aren’t taught to think.”
April 25th, 2007 at 3:07 amKeep spewing those lies, Rudy. Keep helping our cause by doing so. We the people (except those who watch Faux Noise) have heard the little boy who cried wolf lines for 6 years and its beyond weak.

I guess he is forgetting that it was a Republic who didn’t anticipate 911, even though he received a memo telling him it would happen. Guiliani is a fool and he has no chance of being elected our President. People are tired of these right wing neocons playing the 911 card and rather than scaring them (as they intend to do), people are simply turning away and saying “what a fool”.
I weep for what we have become.

Comment by Exley
I know this will surprise you, Exley, but you don’t get to “pronounce” anything involving me.
You might want to get a band-aid for that hatchet in your head.
April 25th, 2007 at 10:49 amGiuliani is a one-trick pony - a johnny one note, whose claim to fame is that he looked good on 9/11 in comparison to the chim-in-chief. Aside from that, he doesn’t have a lot of fans in NY. He doesn’t have a lot of fans across America. But he appeals to the more base element of the RNC with his baseless fearmongering.
April 25th, 2007 at 10:51 amHis “moral values” are comparable to those of the Newt - down there somewhere at the bottom of the swamp.
The man is a joke.
“a johnny one note, whose claim to fame is that he looked good on 9/11 in comparison to the chim-in-chief. Aside from that, he doesn’t have a lot of fans in NY. ”
Gotta disagree with you there, Marie. Even before 9/11, Giuliani had done a remarkable job in saving a city that was going down the drain, especially in the latter years of the Koch mayoralty and the DISASTROUS Dinkins administration. He drastically reduced crime, cleaned up the city and greatly enhanced the quality of life in NYC.
That is why he was re-elected in 1997 in a landslide becoming only the second Republican in 60 years to be elected to second term as New York City mayor, defeating Ruth Messinger, “quintessential liberal and fixture of Manhattan’s Upper West Side” (quoting The NYTimes) in city that is five-to-one Democratic.
April 25th, 2007 at 11:30 amRudy just wants to demonstrate his ability to tell outrageous lies to a large audience (and, Ex - that is the topic here) - that’s very important for a Republican Candidate/President - far more important than sincerely living up to the Oath of Office or any duty prescribed in the Constitution.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pmaside from (D) registration, Ex, what is the one other thing that the preponderance of Manhattanites share in common? Clue: it’s a thing that would prompt them to vote for a (R) mayor. Clue2: it’s also something that you and I don’t have in common with them.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:41 pmYeah, it’s obvious. Rudy stopped the last one. Kept all those firefighters from getting killed in collapsing buildings, too. And put the emergency command centre in one of the WTC buildings. He’s got a stellar record on prevention, I’d say…..
Cheers,
April 25th, 2007 at 12:49 pmPlease see this for what it is. Rudy is not commenting about Democrats. He’s actually insulting
Republickers. He’s saying that the Republickin base is so stupid and shallow that they respond to
the most ridiculous of fear mongering. “You are such a bunch of kiss-up asses that I can say
anything and you’ll buy it”.
If you’re following the Republicker campaigns what you see is really a race for Bush/Cheney Zombies.
These are the original “Good German” goobers who at some point gave up all self respect and honest
self thinking. They have invested so much being loyal licking that they have become the living dead.
Imagine - still today - they are required to believe and regurgitate: )* Iraq has W.D. … we just
haven’t found them yet )* Al Qiada and Saddam were in league together )* all the wiretapping and fisa
BS was in good faith )* global warming is a myth )* Mark Foley was created by Democrats )*
civilization itself must be protected from gay marriage )* Rumsfeld is a misunderstood wise man )*
Fredo is the victim of a Democratic witch hunt )* more guns would stop VTech type massacre )* one
trillion more dollars to Haliburton and MZM will win Iraq for us )* ‘head Cheney is psychologically
normal )* Laura Bush has suffered more then 3000 dead soldiers )* Do I need to go on. BTW. They
have paid in their own real campaign dollars again and again to be abused this way.
What Rudy is really saying is this, “I tried to be honest about some things “ but “ you weren’t
interested†so “I’m now buying into he fact that you are all lost to any plausible reality†and
“Just like the neocon controlled IncompetentCorruptAmericanPrince†I am going to just start telling
you the “whoppers that just have been condition to accept†so “try this one out, you ideological
inbreedsâ€.
Rudy is laughing at these zombies as he’s lying to them and that’s what thy love.
This will be the next whopper - “All that secret Fisa wiretapping was really on you Republickers who
were attending Bush campaign rallies. The IncompetentCorruptAmaerican Prince is so important to God,
America and the world that he had to be protected from even ya’llâ€
The spied upon Zombies will nod their heads in agreement. After all, abuse is the sincerest form of
love. That’s what Rudy has caught on to.
April 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pmChildren, children - in 1993 the USA had war declared on it by terrorists. The Clintonista response to this war was to prosecute 2 individuals with a homicide investigation, as if this attack were just another NYC crack killing, or a jealous wife killing her unfaithful husband. Dig?
