EXHIBIT ONE Giuliani ran three times for mayor on New York's Liberal Party line. At the same time he distanced himself from the state’s influential Conservative Party, even refusing to foreswear P/B abortion that would have gotten him conservatve backing.

Wrong. Giuliani had the endorsement of the Liberal Party in 1989 and 1993. They did not give him nomination in 1997, presumably after discovering what he was all about. See here.

Others question Rudy’s loyalty to the party. In New York’s hotly contested 1994 gubernatorial race he endorsed liberal incumbent Democrat Mario Cuomo against a Republican (Cuomo lost despite Julie's backing). He has voiced support for other liberal Democrats, including Bill Clinton.

Wrong. He said that Bill Clinton's policies were similar to his own. Bill Clinton, of course, stole policies from the Republicans, including welfare reform. Giuliani was a big campaigner for Republican candidates this past election cycle.

EXHIBIT TWO Giuliani’s flawed judgment raised eyebrows in the aftermath of 9/11 when, drunk with power, Julie-Annie sought to suspend the city’s election laws to extend his mayoral term of office. Even blase liberal NY'ers wouldn't buy Julie's naked power grab.

Cite and prove.

EXHIBIT THREE The myth about Giuliani's credentials on homeland security, and military matters.....is manufactured by his handlers.

Cite and prove.

CASE IN POINT: Giuliani recently "lost" his mayoral campaign's vulnerabilities playbook. He publicly blamed the "opposition" (Hillary's old VRWC trick). Julie-Annie wanted us to believe that an airport employee knew precisely in which bag, and in which binder the critical documents were, sneaked them out of the bag, copied them, then stealthily returned them to the bag without anyone knowing it.

Cite and prove.

EXHIBIT FOUR "Security expert" Rudy co-opted GWB into naming his mobbed-up buddy, Bernie Kerik, as Home/Land/Sec chief

Cite and prove.

Your post is mostly innuendo. Unless you back up your allegations with hard facts, it's difficult to take them seriously, rather, the entire rhetoric you use indicates an animus against Giuliani more than principled opposition.

Too bad you are so woefully uninformed----all of this factual info has been in the news, and on FR, time and time again.

Good post, Ivan. Freepers used to do something that is now quaintly referred to actual research.

Now they just post third grade taunts and call it a day.
