The Candidate (Rudy Giuliani in NH)
The American Spectator ^ | 1/29/2007 | Philip Klein

Posted on 01/29/2007 1:36:27 PM PST by Dark Skies

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.

Welcome to bizarro world where examining a candidates record is considered bashing!

Nearly every critique I have seen of Rudy has been backed up with fact.

Some spams are lacking in links to source...that's a cred killer and looks like mere bashing.

"Like Rudy said, you're not going to agree with every candidate 100 percent of the time."

Like I'm going to fall for that line. I don't even agree with Guilianni 50% of the time and furthermore, he's got far too much personal baggage.

Well, clearly they can and have formed their own opinion, and are helping others do the same.

Do you consider reposting info on multiple, related articles spamming?

Don't worry...a third party is forming over on aisle 7.

Do you read spam?
Of course posting the same on every thread is spamming.

Also, there is little difference between Guiliani and Clinton's wife.

i see the back and forth on these threads as so much hot air and don't have the energy to engage, but i totally agree. a candidate's own words cannot constitute bashing IMO. that means EVERY political ad is an attack ad that dares to address the opponents record/statements. that's just silly.

It gets tiresome. It's like seeing the Head-ON commercial 5 times an hour.

You know... the cut-and-paste posts are getting a little boring. Care for a little actual discussion or is that all you've got? If so, I'll wait for some other Rudy-basher that wants to actually have a discussion.

There are other Republican candidates to support. I very much doubt Rudy will be the Republican nominee.

"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...

This is what I want the next President to say, and do.

The other petty stuff doesn't matter to me like this does, and of the people that have a decent chance to actually WIN the election, he's the only one that is, so far, believable on this count.
