Rudy Giuliani's Vulnerabilities

FEBRUARY 12--As he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination, Rudolph Giuliani will have to contend with political and personal baggage unknown to prospective supporters whose knowledge of the former New York mayor is limited to his post-September 11 exploits. So, in a bid to educate the electorate, we're offering excerpts from a remarkable "vulnerability study" that was commissioned by Giuliani's campaign prior to his successful 1993 City Hall run. The confidential 450-page report, authored by Giuliani's research director and another aide, was the campaign's attempt to identify possible lines of attack against Giuliani and prepare the candidate and his staff to counter "the kinds of no-holes-barred assault" expected in a general election rematch with Democratic incumbent David Dinkins.

I find it distressing that the media has already determine we either get to vote for Guliani or McCain.

The only two Republicans worth mentioning 100 times a day on the MSM news apparently.

"I find it distressing that the media has already determine we either get to vote for Guliani or McCain."

What would you expect from the media when Giuliani and McCain, like Clinton and Obama, have received the Seal of Approval from George Soros? They are hoping to keep the race to only those candidates that the barking moonbat Soros approves of so that he can't lose in the next election.

And this was 14 years ago. Makes republicans look like fools if they continue promoting him. Can anyone say double standard compared to the clinton fiascos.

Posted yesterday. Yesterday, I also got the full 126-page package that the Giuliani campaign lost back in November. Good stuff but requires a lot of digging through. Still trying to get the full 450-page report that the 27 pages on TheSmokingGun came from.

Yep, that's Rudy's way alright. 8^) Jes kiddin' y'all

On a more serious note, does the moron who wrote this not know that the phrase is no-holDs-barred, not no-holEs-barred.
