"The enemy of mine enemy is my friend" is an old saying that sometimes proves true. I do know that Mayor Koch, like Senator Joe Lieberman, supports our president on the war on terror and other foreign policy subjects, although he is very liberal on social issues.

Never trust a Democratic politician, even a sane one.

I agree with his characterization of Guiliani. The man simply can't tolerate different views - in this case, views coming from conservatives.

"It has nothing to do with that," Koch said. "He was imbued with the thought that if he was right, it was like a God-given right. That's not what we need in a president. We need a strong president, but somebody who listens."

Reading between the lines, its obvious that anti christian bigotry is why 90% of American Jews vote donkeycrat.

Every politician is a control freak, except Bush, and we can see where that got us.

Interesting that Koch, who is a Democrat, doesn’t want Rudy as the GOP nominee.

So the man who help put NYC in shambles is against the man who
man who resurrected it?

I wonder how many people will engage in talk about Koch’s sexual preferences?

Rooty has a ‘series’ mental problem.
Ed Koch: he's a control freak, and the control is over your life,"

9-11 Thread: Mr. Giuliani acted like a "benevolent dictator."

Rooty doesn't have a 'Napoleon Complex' (we should be so lucky), he has a God Complex and he would feel right at home in the Europe of the 1930's.

And what strawberries were to Captain Queeg, Ferrets are to Rooty. Professionally speaking — he’s NUTS.

Instead, Koch is backing Hillary Clinton for president, but he insists that's not why he's going all out against Giuliani.

BS!

Just a thought. Isn’t it funny how control freaks are so out of control? Just look at Rooty’s life.

Geesh, control, huh.

Pat Toomey seems to like Giuliani.

From NRO article:

These are important questions and criticisms. Over the coming months, Rudy Giuliani will have to address these issues, elaborate on the unknowns, and explain, even reconsider, some of his most egregious positions. These indiscretions though, are modest in scale compared to his accomplishments.

Despite powerful local obstacles, Giuliani was able to significantly cut taxes; hold spending increases down below the rates of inflation and population growth; overhaul the welfare system; deregulate and privatize many local government services; and join the fight for school choice. These accomplishments played a crucial role in transforming New York City from an economic basket case into a thriving economy.

The most important question is what Giuliani’s mayoral tenure tells us about how he would govern if elected president. The answer is not clear cut, as some of his local positions are worrisome and some of his federal positions are still unknown. Nonetheless, one cannot help but conclude that if Giuliani could accomplish the pro-growth record he did in the hostile environment of New York City, the potential for him to accomplish even more amid the more politically balanced federal government is great.
