Or, is that “Rudy was FOR earmarks at the same time he was AGAINST them”? Comment by OxyCon — November 26, 2007 @ 11:52 am Eh -- Rudy's just making noise that he thinks voters want to hear. This seems to be his political strategy so far. He knows that he is a candidate that's all sizzle and no steak, so he is sizzling as much as he can. His claims on congressional earmarking seem to fall into the same category as his pontification on how tragic it would have been if he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in the United Kingdom, or his claim that he had spent as much if not more time at Ground Zero as the rescue workers. He doesn't get bogged down in facts, he just makes stuff up that he thinks will play well, and trusts nobody will bother checking. And another thing about earmarking -- he knows he can condemn that long and loud to play to the masses, and he won't have to do a thing about it if he's elected. Why? The POTUS can't do anything to stop it. The POTUS can't change Congressional rules, and he doesn't even have line item veto anymore. Therefore, he can play the "Ain't It Awful" song as long as he wants. Rudy was FOR earmarks before he was AGAINST them.

They're both New Yorkers, of course, and I'm sure they 'share' many views. Trouble is, conservatives keep calling Insannity saying they will not vote for a pro-life, quadruple married liberal minded person like Rudy. You gotta love it. The Right no longer knows who they are, who to vote for or where to find a candidate. 12% of Right wing politicians have already taken early exits. That number will increase, especially if others figure out what Lott's doing. Folks, the Kingdom is crumbling before our eyes. Can Humpty Dumpty get it right this time?
