  1. Exactly what did Rudy protect?

    I was going to say the pile of rubble, but people got sick from that, too.

    His image.
     
  4. It seems like Rudy is falling for the same trap as McCain. In order to win over the base, he has to "get tough." If you read his opinions (pre-2007) on immigration and other issues, they sound reasonable. Now, though, it's attack! go on the offense! blah, blah, blah!!!

    God help us all if Giuliani gets anywhere near the WH.

    In this case, it won't be. He won't get the nomination. If by some quirk he should get the nomination, he won't be elected. And it won't be close, either.

    Under scrutiny, he is the least likeable major candidate in either party. And in this election, that's saying something.

    Feel free to argue whether likeability is a meaningful criterion, or who had it in the prior two elections. I'll just stand by my statement.

    No way he gets nominated. His skeletons have skeletons. Keep RG and Romney off the ballot and I'll be happier.

    Who, exactly, does that leave for the GOP? Two guys who don't believe in evolution and someone who did pro-choice work. Y'all have to nominate someone, and McCain's already dead (politically).

    umm....yeah....it's very unbiased reporting:

    "Giuliani's limitations are in fact remarkably similar to those of another man who has led the nation into a war without end. Some of the Bush Administration's policies, like improved intelligence sharing between countries and our own agencies, have made the U.S. better at fighting terrorism. But others, from the war in Iraq to the treatment of detainees at Guantánamo Bay, have actually made the task much more difficult."

    Please eloquently state why any part of that statement is untrue.

    Agree. I also think that unlike W., who was a nothing politician as the governor of Texas, Guiliani had a demonstrated history of accomplishments as a prosecutor and as mayor. Whether you like his style or not, and whether you think he is evil, few people can argue that he is a guy who doesn't roll up his sleeves and accomplish things--whether it was clearing the mob out of the Fulton Street Fish Market and taking on white collar criminals as a prosecutor, or as mayor, reducing the crime rate and doing things to attract and retain businesses which had been fleeing to NJ under Dinkins. He's not just fluff and BS. The question for people really comes down to whether you like his style or not.

    He's nothing but a lot of talk and a badge.

    Without the badge. ;)
