Drain the Middle East swamp, then drain the U.N. swamp --

Hell, drain 'em at the same time!

If 3,000 dead Americans and the fact our country was ATTACKED on 9/11 doesn't clarify matters for John F*ckin', nothing will. He's unfit to lead this country since he doesn't understand the stakes involved and is unwilling to confront the danger to it at its source. Yes, Rudy we do have an obligation to eliminate, not just live, with terrorism.

Great Goin', Giuliani !

Giuliani is currently the most formidable candidate for 2008.

He would have fly-over country AND New York.

McCain would get fly-over which includes AZ.

Giuliani needs to reconsider being a "rilom" pro-lifer (rape, incest, life of mother.)

If he does so, he would most likely get the nod, imo.

[Lando Lincoln]

Thought this worthy of one of my infrequent pings.

Great remarks by Rudy.

If Kerry is elected, we can kiss America, our families and friends good bye!

kerry and the demoncrats will NEVER get it. Terrorists can NEVER be "tolerated" as a nuisance. What does kerry consider a nuisance, blowing up only one building instead of 3, hijacing only one plane, not 3? kerry is a LUNATIC.

[Gritty]

Giuliani is really good when he speaks about the War On Islamics. Right now, he is well positioned to be #1 on the GOP Ticket in 2008. He is a great leader.

One could only wish he were as strong and principled in some of his other positions where he is on the wrong side, like abortion and gun control. But, that is where he is. That does not bode well in the long run.

Kerry is a man of the lowest order, to even consider telling Americans such jackassery that terrorists are just a nuisance.

I spit in your botoxed eye. I've got news for you, you spoiled arrogant John Kerry, these murdering intolerant hateful butchering bastard terrorist scum need to be annihilated. They need to be decimated. They need to be crushed so that they never rise again to harm one hair of an American or anyone else.

John Kerry you are a despicable fool to think of us as so miserably to render the good citizens of the USA to such a status to bear the threat of terrorism as if it was a nuisance? Even your pampered wife says that we must live with terrorism just like Europe does.

The Kerry's are wrong for America. President Bush asked you if you got wood. Well, he was just too polite, because your brains are full of wood. And, your ideas are full of termites.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks.

Headin' for the State Fair of Texas. See ya later on tomorrow, folks.

bump!

[RockinRight]

Wouldn't he be a flip-flopper though if he did that?

[RockinRight]

I like Rudy. I'm glad to have him on our side, he's a great speaker and commands an audience. But--the reasons you have listed are why he's not Presidential material for the GOP. He'd be great in the WOT but domestically no better than a Democrat.

Put Rudy in the cabinet in a defense/foreign policy position, that is fine. Even if he ran for the Senate, I'd be OK with that to get Her Heinous Hillary out of there.

[jolie560]

Kerry as a puppet of the freaky wing of the Democratic Party is a big enough disgrace. Left to his own personal philosophy, Kerry is even worse.

[EdReform]

Bump!

And then, drain the Western, liberal utopian intellectual swamp. That last one is particularly disease ridden (after all, liberalism is a mental illness).

[conservativebabe]

My first thought when I heard this "nuisance" comment was, A nuisance??? Tell that to the people of Israel who have been dealing with frequent homicide bombings for years, killing thousands of people. Tell that to the mothers and fathers who lost children in Beslan. Tell that to the countless families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11. Do they consider terrorism a "nuisance"? I would think not.

This man has no clear understanding of the threat that we face and proves him incompetent to lead the country in a time of war.

The only real "nuisance" is having had to look at this basset-hound for the last 2 years.

[xzins]

It would have to take place well ahead of the fact.

It would have to be a conscientious change of heart on a subject about which he had previously had a different opinion. And then there would have to be consistency and an ability to articulate his position.

I'm guessing he's a Catholic. If so, it SHOULD be something that he reconsiders. He's out of step with his own religion.
