Rudy is better than whoever you support

The radios were replaced after 1993 after Giuliani gave a no-bid contract to Motorola (the city council doesn't give out contracts) for 14 million dollars (initially it was going to be 1.4 million but the price jumped after the no-bid contract went through). The radios were never field tested and were recalled after a firefighters' radio distress call went unheard. Giuliani gave them back the same faulty radio they had from before. The Motorola radios arrived prior to 9/11 they just didn't work either. Giuliani, after the 1993 attacks, replaced faulty radios (after 8 years) with even more faulty radios then went back to the previous faulty radios... the same ones they had in 1993. 120 firefighters died in the North Tower, 0 cops because the cops heard the vacate order on their radios. At the September 11 commission, when asked why given half an hour warning to evacuate the north tower the Firefighters didn't leave he claimed that the firefighters heard the command to get out, and didn't. He lied through his slimy teeth to try to cover his own incompetence. He's now under investigation for this. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... I could see maybe screwing up and providing crap radios in a no-bid contract for ten times more than they were worth and having them recalled after a week when they almost killed a guy. But, then to blame the firefighters? You are kidding right. This guy is a total slime ball. "The command center was placed in the towers because the WTC was the most apt place to house the center." -- WHAT!?! That's the LAST PLACE IT SHOULD EVER GO! Giuliani insisted that the terrorist command center be placed in the one place in the city where terrorists had already struck. He looks all impressive running around the city, but that's because he has no place to go! The initial suggestions were to place it in Brooklyn and out of the city completely. Giuliani is qualified for president by virtue of being over 35 and a US citizen, not because he can claim credit for things he didn't do. Crime rates fell in New York while he was mayor because crime rates fell all over the country. Clinton put the economy back on track and federally funded another 7000 police officers for New York. Crediting Giuliani's leadership is a joke. If anybody Bill Bratton deserves the credit and was declared the 1996 Times Man of the Year for his leadership. Giuliani forced him out of his job. You say he reported illegal aliens? New York was a sanctuary city. I don't think that's a bad thing, but your claims are absurd at best. As far as "Republican theory in action" he seems to be a rather massive dirt ball. If this were true, shouldn't New York love Giuliani? Clearly they are closest to his job performance... lets see the polls: http://www.siena.edu... McCain: 36 Giuliani: 24 Hm. Going down in flames in his home state. I don't really mind divorce. I don't really mind multiple divorces. But, he cheats on his wives. Honestly, go ahead and get divorced if your marriage isn't working but to start cheating on all your wives and misusing city funds to drive your mistress around? That doesn't exactly scream dependable. Saying it's okay that he's a pompous slimeball who loves the limelight because he takes credit for things he didn't do. Honestly, I don't know what you possibly see in the guy. I could have picked Sharky the Impaler as my candidate of choice and still won. Edwards is hands down a better candidate. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that any of the Democratic candidates are easily better than any of the Republicans. If you watch the debates they don't even look to be running for the same job. The democrats talk about policy and making things better and the Republicans swear up and down that Iraq is a great idea and that we should stay there forever. Rudy isn't running on reform. He's running on being a slimeball and continuing the same crappy flawed strategy as Bush used. He wants to replace stupidity with corruption. That isn't a change worth having. "He claims he would pull all troops out immediately, leaving none behind." - Thank you for making my argument for me. Edwards is clearly a better candidate. I'm at a loss as to who could possibly be a worse candidate than Rudy. Even the republican side isn't filled with miserable little trolls who love the limelight and ooze corruption. He was a mediocre mayor and 9/11 happened. He's now a slimeball running for president on the fact that he was a mediocre mayor during 9/11. It's sad. I should have just let some Ron Paul fanatic whoop you.
