Open Thread: Giggliani Edition
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 3:08pm.We had to listen to the Hillary cackle as it swept through the press and the web, so it's only fair to highlight a man giggling. Ish...it's awful.

For starters, I'm glad to see that glad to see Rudy's getting the attention he deserves even around here. Someone explain why we can't just jump from fact checking and ad busting to some kind of 'here's how stupid they think you are' metric. This latest pegs the damn meter in my book.
North Carolina '08: Showin' Our True Colors
Submitted by boldlyblue on Sat, 10/27/2007 - 5:39pm.
There seems to be this idea that North Carolina is just like any other red state that voted for George W. Bush. Twice.
People outside North Carolina just see that our state's just another state in a sea of red. They don't know about the strong Democratic leadership our state has at the state level. They don't know that Governor Easley enjoys approval ratings that Elizabeth Dole could only dream of.
Rasmussen Reports has a new poll out, and if people in other states paid any attention to it, they'd realize that on the 2008 electoral map, North Carolina could show its one and only true color: Carolina Blue.

A Giuliani Foreign Policy
Submitted by Yankees Fan on Thu, 10/25/2007 - 10:47pm.The September/October issue of Foreign Affairs offers an article written by Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani describing his foreign policy if elected President. As I read it, I became increasingly disturbed by the direction this country's foreign policy would take under a Giuliani administration. Mr. Giuliani needs take heed of the quote by philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
GOP Leaders Spurn Minority Vote

Candidates Are Urged to Attend Forums Sponsored by Minorities
by Perry Bacon Jr., Washington Post
Key Republican leaders are encouraging the party's presidential candidates to rethink their decision to skip presidential debates focusing on issues important to minorities, fearing a backlash that could further erode the party's standing with black and Latino voters.
The leading contenders for the Republican nomination have indicated they will not attend the "All American Presidential Forum" organized by black talk show host Tavis Smiley, scheduled for Sept. 27 at Morgan State University in Baltimore and airing on PBS. Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, former senator Fred D. Thompson (Tenn.) and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) all cited scheduling conflicts in forgoing the debate. The top Democratic contenders attended a similar event in June at Howard University.

Rudy and Romney: Artful dodgers

When the most belligerent Republicans start to beat the war drums, it's important to look at what they're trying to hide.
Both Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have draft dodging as part of their political resume. From Salon.com: Nothing unites the Republican candidates for president or excites the conservative base more than their bellicose barking about war and confrontation. The GOP presidential debates often sound like a tough-man competition, with Rudolph Giuliani denouncing the "cut-and-run" Democrats, Mitt Romney demanding a double-size Guantánamo detention camp, and the rest of the pack struggling to keep pace with the snarling alpha dogs. Yet while their rhetoric is invariably loud and aggressive, none of these martial orators has seen a day of military service. The Republican party seems to prefer its hawks to be of the chicken variety. Consider Giuliani, the former New York mayor who has remained among the most vocal supporters of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. He never hesitates to suggest that politicians with differing opinions simply lack guts. When he spoke at the 2004 Republican convention, he gleefully insinuated that Democratic nominee John Kerry lacked the fortitude to combat terrorism. Now he denigrates the supposedly spineless Democrats running for president in 2008. But he has always confined his enthusiasm for war to podium speeches and position papers. Born in 1944, young Rudy was highly eligible for military service when he reached his 20s during the Vietnam War. He did not volunteer for combat -- as Kerry did -- and instead found a highly creative way to dodge the draft. |

IAFF debunks Giuliani leadership myth
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Thu, 07/12/2007 - 11:42am.Wow....just wow. This is long, but it is worth your time. I know none of us is at risk of supporting Giuliani and not one of us needs any more proof that he's not the leader for this country, but this is very powerful. It has been put together by the IAFF and features firefighters, fire chiefs and family members of FDNY talking about Giuliani and 9/11.
When you have a spare 10 minutes or so....
Rudy Giuliani - XXX rated family values
Submitted by Betsy Muse on Sat, 06/23/2007 - 5:45pm.My oh my......it isn't the news that his SC campaign chair has been indicted on cocaine charges and it isn't all the screwing around on his wives or the children who won't speak to him that has me questioning Rudy Giuliani's good old Republican family values. What has me worried about Rudy's values is the alleged pedophile priest he keeps on the payroll.
Cocaine, adultery, pedophilia and children who loathe him.....a candidate only a Republican could love.
