Rudy is better than whoever you support

Why contract only through Motorola? They cost 10 times as much and didn't work! I could see if they were giving you a better deal, but certainly not. Giulini was the one who picked the radio not the FDNY, if FDNY had a choice they would have gotten new radios years earlier. Hardly a problem? They cost 121 firefighters their lives because they didn't work in 1993 or 2001. The same system was used for the cops... and the cops got out because their radios worked! No field test on radios which failed, buying the same brand as the previous radios, and costing lives for ten times as much as they were worth. Giuliani should be seen as a great leader for making a terrible decision on the grounds that previous mayors bought the same brand? How does that excuse doing nothing for 8 years? The previous radios didn't work either, how is that not dropping the ball? The WTC was the last place you should place the terrorist command center. Claiming that I'm using hindsite is nonsense... after the 1993 attacks it is simple history. You don't get to claim you dropped crime when crime everywhere is dropping. Police = good, economy = good, lowering crime = good. Giuliani = irrelevant. An "excellent appointer"? That's a coattail rider if I've ever seen one. You deny that Rudy ran New York as a sanctuary city and then point out exactly how he illegals immunity? HEHEHEH! Are you watching yourself? The problem with Giuliani losing in his own hometown is that they are the ones who really know him. Giuliani is losing New York by a lot. Further, his negatives are far higher than his positives. The people who know him, think he's a slime ball. There's a reason why Ron Paul has 8 more delegates than Giuliani*. Because he's a joke! No evidence that he cheated on his wives? HE LEFT HIS PREVIOUS WIVES AND MARRIED HIS MISTRESS! His current wife was driven around the city by misused police escorts before he finally left his previous wife and married her. Doesn't cheat on his wives? Are you not counting them if he leaves his wife and marries his mistresses? Giuliani never takes credit for 9/11? NEVER? Rudy "9/11" Giuliani never does this. Tell you what, if any voters don't find this statement to be absurdly false... go ahead and vote for Wingnut here. If you note how false it is, go ahead and vote for me. The man ran a fund raiser asking for $9.11 for goodness' sake. ---------------------- Any of the Democrats are far better than any of the Republicans (save perhaps Ron Paul) on specifically the issue of War. It dwarfs all the other issues and a continuation of status quo is completely unacceptable. The fact that the Democrats (and Ron Paul) see what a horrific situation Iraq is, is a mark in their favor. It's perfectly possible to remove the troops in a few months. Edwards has said repeatedly that he would do it safely and effectively listening to military advice. The current administration has frankly fired all military advisers who don't tow the government line. Edwards does fight for the middle class, he did so as a trial lawyer and in congress. He comes from the middle class. You can go ahead and call it pandering to tell people what you believe and have people like it. This is the same message he had four years ago when people apparently didn't care about fighting for the middle class and rather wanted somebody who could beat Bush. He was speaking out against poverty and for the middle class then just as he is now. It isn't like Giuliani who suddenly becomes has his positions flip when he runs for office. You really need to fight the special interest groups in Washington if you're going to stand a chance at changing it for the better. People don't choose not to have medical insurance, they simply can't afford it. The fact of the matter is every Democratic president in the last 50 years has massively shrunk the size of government whereas every Republican has ballooned it. Edwards has spoken quite well against the Patriot Act whereas Giuliani... not so much. Even the worst Democrat in this race is better than the best Republican. The problem with the "disgruntled oppositions" to Rudy is that they are by and large true. I absolutely hate the 9/11 conspiracy theorists... and suggesting that the investigation against Rudy Giuliani is part of some vast conspiracy is pathetic. He actually is a slime ball. He actually did do a crappy job. -------------------- * I said Ron Paul had 8 more delegates than Rudy, which begs the question how many does Rudy have? Zero. The fact is, even after the worst possible scenario happened he handled the situation well, despite what 9-11 conspirators say.
