The Candidate (Rudy Giuliani in NH)

Many skeptics continue to question whether Rudy Giuliani is serious about making a run for the White House, but it was abundantly clear on Saturday that he had come to Manchester for more than the sub-freezing temperatures.

Addressing over 500 activists at the New Hampshire Republican Party's annual meeting as part of a two-day swing through the state, Giuliani sketched the broad outlines of what looks like a presidential run. Sounding at times like a motivational speaker, Giuliani cautioned against cynicism and pessimism in the wake of November's election results and challenges in the ongoing War on Terror. The message especially resonated with the audience in this critical primary state, where the Republican Party just lost control of both chambers of the legislature for the first time since the 1870s.

"The best way we remain safe and we retain our freedom...is remaining on offense, remaining strong and not becoming weak in a time of pressure," Giuliani said in a line that drew the biggest applause from the crowd at the Palace Theater.

You're just another hater and basher.

Ooh, now you're mixing HAAATER and BAAASHER.

I'm really scared now.

[Spiff]

Stunning. Rudy is the only one who can save us.

Rudy, our Lord and Savior...

Disturbing, to say the least.

[dirtboy]

Hey, Spiff - check out the deleted post 556:

you are spreading dirt on the one chance that the West has against islamofascism.

The Rudy boosters have reached a new low of absurdity.

[Dark Skies]

We are war against islamofascism. Rudy knows it. GW knows it but he is afraid to say so.

Or W is afraid to hang his battle plan on it.

Everyone knows it but is afraid to speak plainly.

But let's pretend, eh?

[dirtboy]

Disturbing, to say the least.

Now the Rudy boosters have elevated him to some kind of absurd messianic level.

They really need to step back from the abyss. But I doubt they will.

Why was that post deleted? The porn lasted a lot longer than that.

[Sunsong]

I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just describing you.

[dirtboy]

Why was that post deleted?

An implied dirty word/personal attack.

"We are war against islamofascism."

No, they are in a war with us. We're still at 1938 ourselves - denial of the problem.

"Rudy knows it."

Does he? Really? Based on what? Your faith?

"But let's pretend, eh?"

I'll leave you to pretend your boy realizes this is a war. Based on his record, he'll fight a politically correct one like we have now.

[dirtboy]

I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just describing you.

Hint. You don't scare me.

You're too dense to recognize satire, apparently.

It's inaccurate, you and others have posted it WITHOUT any attribution, at first, and you are now backpedaling as fast as you can, because you have been backed into a corner.

You are a fraud and a joke, not to mention someone with delusions of grandeur.

[Sunsong]

Hey Spiff - I though you were claiming to be the savior. This must make you sooo jealous. Hey, how do you feel you are doing so far in preventing abortion nation-wide and cracking down on those evil homosexuals?

[dirtboy]

Based on his record, he'll fight a politically correct one like we have now.

While making sure his cronies do well from the battle.

[dirtboy]

It's inaccurate, you and others have posted it WITHOUT any attribution

And have you been able to refute one claim in that table?

-- crickets ---

[Sunsong]

Thanks for demonstrating that you are a hater.

[Dark Skies]

Let me apologize in advance for being deranged (thx for your support...not)...But we are at war.

But that's OK Neville. You just keep on deluding yourself and everyone else who you inform.

I thought you were a gentleman. I was mistaken.

You are counted among the enemy...you are an appeaser.

Hello Neville. Take a chair.

[EternalVigilance]

By the way, I forgot to tell you what a great graph I think that is.

Keep the faith...

[nopardons]

Yes, I have; as have others. :-)

[dirtboy]

Yes, I have; as have others. :-)

Then post your refutations.

[EnochPowellWasRight]

"While making sure his cronies do well from the battle."

Have they ever said what makes Rudy the Hero of 9/11?

Rumsfeld actually helped injured people in the damaged sections of the Pentagon on 9/11 at some personal risk AND never made any political hay out of it.

What did Rudy do?
