Rudy is better than whoever you support

You bothered to defend his blunders and if I were to believe you I could surmise that Rudy Giuliani (it's 'i' before 'u' by the way, though watching you misspell your candidates name is amusing) is simply an average guy to whom bad stuff happens and other people around him screw up. Why switch? Because the previous radios didn't work. They didn't break due to age in fact they worked fine most of the time between the first WTC attack (when they failed) and the second WTC attack (when they failed). If they had broken due to age they would have been absolutely worthless in those eight years Rudy Giuliani did nothing after it was well known that the radios would not function at the WTC. Honoring the business relationship by choosing the company that gave you radios that didn't work before? Why then pay ten times as much at the 11th hour? Why pay 14 million for 1.4 million dollars worth of radios that didn't even last a week AFTER 8 years of doing nothing to replace the radios that didn't work before. Why maintain a business relationship with Motorola for bad radios? Why not let market forces work and get cheaper, better, functional radios? Seriously, two posts ago you were blaming the city council for hampering the radio selection. Though, looking that up as the lie it was, now it's Motorola's fault for what? Providing radios that Giuliani never had field tested before buying? Making the previously bad radios that kind of worked save in the WTC and similar buildings? For making the police radios which worked fine and let the officers evacuate? Did Motorola force Giuliani to wait 8 years before replacing the faulty radios? Did Motorola force Giuliani to ignore the free market system and give them an exclusive contract they used to jack up the price by 12.6 million at the last minute? Everybody's to blame for this except Giuliani? You're a worse liar than he is! This line is absolutely classic: "Motorola made a faulty product. Rudy couldn't have known this." -- He was buying radios to replace Motorola's LAST FAULTY PRODUCT! You continue trying to defend the location of the Terror Command Center in the WTC. The terrorists TRIED TO BLOW IT UP BEFORE! That's not hindsight! *sticks hand on burner* OUCH! *sticks hand on burner again* OUCH! -- You shouldn't have done that. Hindsight is 20/20. Really? The only place in the city attacked by terrorists previously where terrorists have sworn to attack again and you're going to say that it's just as good as Brooklyn? Nobody would attack Brooklyn, it's Brooklyn. Yes, crime was dropping everywhere and the massive increase in federal funding for additional policing (outside of Giuliani's control) helped out a lot. The policing and economy improving had nothing to do with Giuliani, how do you get from "sure crime was already plummeting and the feds helped a lot" to Rudy responsible for the "phenominal[sic] degree"? How so? There is no difference between a sanctuary city and a city where Rudy Giuliani allowed illegal immigrants to not be deported. "If you want to make your delegates arguments, they apply equally to Edwards." -- Okay. John Edwards has infinity percent more delegates than Rudy Giuliani. Shoot, Ron Paul has infinity percent more delegates than Rudy Giuliani. I have as many delegates for the republican nomination as Rudy Giuliani. "Guiliani is trailing because winners recieve a bump." -- And... Giuliani is a loser. Thank you for admitting that. "...9-11 reputation...think he leans on 9-11... His pre-9-11 record speaks for itself." -- Heh. The war is very much a prevailing issue. http://www.pollingreport.com... The majority still want to withdrawal and regardless who the eventual nominee may be, it probably is still going to cost the Republicans the election. And in the general Democrat vs. Republican ballot, the Democrats are currently winning 48 to 30 and a lot of that is the still the war. So your argument boils down to Rudy 9/11 is a genius and all that really bad moronic stuff he was responsible for is caused by city council or some company or was honestly a good idea. 9/11. He's only trailing because he's a loser! 9/11. ------- Edwards understands that people need a real voice in government beyond the lobbying of corporations if there is going to be any real change in America for the better. People want healthcare and can't afford it, helping them in this respect is advantageous for everybody. Getting out of this war is the one issue that really can't be avoided. Ron Paul is better than Rudy strictly for that issue. If you watch the Republican debate yesterday you'd have noticed Paul make this comment to the agreement of the entire crowd. Not only is getting out of Iraq a major point in this election but the eventual nominee is going to lose on that point and lose pretty hard. Moreover, it's the right thing to do. Get out of Bush's retarded worthless war as soon as possible. Support for renewable energy, fixing our schools, and again... getting out of this flipping war. Rudy is not better than anybody running for office this race. He's a corrupt little slimeball, a tool, who quite honestly exploits a national tragedy every chance he gets. During the 90s every mayor in the states could just as easily have claimed credit for reducing crime. You argue that Rudy is a great "appointer" as a way to give him credit for things he didn't do, and then blame others for the things he does do extremely wrong. If I offer that he closed down the city dump and cost the city million upon millions of dollars in a cheap political stunt prior to his run for senate you'll suggest that it was a good idea or that its a bad idea that somebody else made. Honestly, he's going down in flames because you can only exploit tragedy and a myth about semi-competence before people see you for who you are. Giuliani married his cousin. Giuliani has been married three times. Giuliani cheats on his wives. Giuliani wears dresses. Giuliani used the remains of 9/11 victims to fill potholes. Giuliani built his terrorism command center in the twin towers. Critics argued that those might be the attacked and would serve as a poor base. Giuliani failed to get firefighters' radios replaced after the 1993 attacks. This lead to the deaths of many firefighters who fell out of communication. Giuliani betrayed the heroes of 9/11 and is now fairly universally hated by the firefighters in question. Giuliani is running on nothing except his record of failure at 9/11. John Edwards may be an idealist, but I'll take idealism over a slimeball every time.
