Rudy Tough on Crime & Terror, HA!

Immigration politics have similarly harmed New York. Former mayor Rudolph Giuliani sued all the way up to the Supreme Court to defend the city’s sanctuary policy against a 1996 federal law decreeing that cities could not prohibit their employees from cooperating with the INS. Oh yeah? said Giuliani; just watch me. The INS, he claimed, with what turned out to be grotesque irony, only aims to “terrorize people.” Though he lost in court, he remained defiant to the end. On September 5, 2001, his handpicked charter-revision committee ruled that New York could still require that its employees keep immigration information confidential to preserve trust between immigrants and government. Six days later, several visa-overstayers participated in the most devastating attack on the city and the country in history.

New York conveniently forgot the 1996 federal ban on sanctuary laws until a gang of five Mexicans—four of them illegal—abducted and brutally raped a 42-year-old mother of two near some railroad tracks in Queens. The NYPD had already arrested three of the illegal aliens numerous times for such crimes as assault, attempted robbery, criminal trespass, illegal gun possession, and drug offenses. The department had never notified the INS.

He's a disgrace and a phony!

Bring on the Duncan Hines Rudy bashers!

[ECM]

Wait wait wait: there's a federal ban on sacntuary laws?! Is this ever actually enforced?!

[Hydroshock]

So. He is still an unelectable lineral rino.

[DungeonMaster]

So what did Rudy say that's supposed to seem so...conservative?

Me made a joke about the UN and we're supposed to believe that is his actual feeling on the subject. Where is his record of being against the UN?

[auto power]

Say what you will....you always do...but at least Rudy is showing leadership...which we still have yet to see the rats exhibit or the RINOs.

[Dark Skies]

What's the source of that quote?

[D-Chivas]

If Rudy really knew his place in life, he would have challenged Hillary for her seat.

[Hydroshock]

He has always shown leadership. My problem is at least on social issues his leadership is towards the left and that is why he is one of the three people mentioned for the rep noomination I could never vote for. I do not vote for liberals.

[rodguy911]

I hope all you Rudy bashers out there have a better candidate that can beat hillary and don't tell me McCain either.

[auto power]

So be it. We vote for leaders.

[rodguy911]

It's easy to bash Rudy its much harder to come up with someone who can actually beat hillary.

[Hydroshock]

Take a look at Duncan Hunter. His leadership was formed as and officer in the US Army Rangers.

[ClaireSolt]

I think McCain shot himself in the foot, yesterday, as I knew he would. He trashed Cheney and Rumsfeld. There is only Sun City golf carts in his future, now.

[Hydroshock]

Who says Hitlery will win the nomination. My money is she will not.

[rodguy911]

Duncan Hunter is a great candidate, Tancraedo would be great as would Tommy Franks or Norman Schwarzkopf, out of all those which one can beat Hillary?

[rodguy911]

Better lay off that crack pipe a little.

[rintense]

McPain has been shooting himself in the foot on a consistent basis since 2001.
