The voters who know both candidates prefer Bloomberg almost 2 to 1. Guiliani would stink as our President.

Nope, I get NYC TV news reports. The verdict of the citizens is that Bloomberg is better than Rudy. It's Bloomberg's horse to run for President.
Swiftboat
Cit-Tay !!
“Giuliani is a life long supporter of liberal causes and liberal issues. He will not be the GOP nominee.”
Amen, brother!!
Yep remember when the intl firefighters supported kerry
All that Rudyhate is blinding you.
No one is as blind as one who will not see. Rudy is a mess.
To each his own. I’ll support whoever the Republican party nominates because I KNOW they’ll be tougher on terrorists AND because no matter who it is, they’ll nominate more conservative judges than Hillary will - guaranteed. I don’t have much say in the primaries as our state is close to dead last in those, but if we donate to anybody it will be to Rudy.
Hmmm ... so which one of Bloomberg's policies do you believe is helping NYC the most? The total smoking ban? Perhaps the transfat ban? Could it possibly being suing the Indian Reservations for selling cigarettes at cheaper prices? Perhaps it's the upcoming "congestion" tax?
Please, enlighten me.
You may not like Bloomberg better than Rudy but the NYC voters do.
Rudy is about to be “Swiftboated”..........I'm afraid to even ask exactly what that means. But it sounds nasty! LOL..............with a fire hose............
Man, that's cold.
Uniformed Firefighters Association president Steve Cassidy told The Post that if the Republican front-runner starts to get "real traction, we will go after him."
The UFA "will never be with Rudy Giuliani," he proclaimed. "We will make it known that he is not qualified to lead."
Cassidy's blunt assessments stemmed from the "poor preparations" Giuliani made to protect the city and first-responders in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six.
"For someone running for the highest office in the country claiming to be a leader on terrorism, Giuliani's track record stinks," Cassidy declared.
The 51-year-old labor leader even took aim at the iconic image of a dust-covered Giuliani sprinting away from the collapsing Twin Towers.
"If [Giuliani] had a command center that worked, he wouldn't be in those photographs looking like he was doing something heroic," Cassidy said, referring to the mayor's decision in 1999 to site the city's emergency-management bunker in the World Trade Center.
"All he was doing was wandering around the city, and he wasn't able to make sure firefighters and police could communicate.
"Serious mistakes, crucial mistakes were made," Cassidy fumed, pointing to the faulty radios that had failed in 1993 and failed again in 2001, preventing hundreds of firefighters from hearing orders to evacuate the north tower.
"Rudy Giuliani did not have New York City prepared for a second terror attack, and prior to September 11th his poll numbers reflected that he couldn't get elected to a significant position," the UFA head raged. "What did he do in the weeks and months after 9/11 except claim he was the guiding light?
"Cops, firefighters and workers cleared that site in record time. We'd do it again, but we certainly want to have someone at the helm of this country who is a proven leader."
The UFA's bitter enmity is partially rooted in a Giuliani decision made a few days after 9/11 that limited firefighter access to the Ground Zero site. Firefighters, enmeshed in the grisly work of reclaiming lost colleagues' remains, erupted with a fury that led to fisticuffs with cops enforcing the mayor's order. The UFA has nursed anger ever since.
But we’ve been told repeatedly that Rudy singlehandedly took care of NYC after 9-11. He showed leadership! Yada, yada, yada!
Union thuggery at its finest

Any NYC TV news reports on the union’s efforts pre-9/11 to improve the communication between police and fire?
The voters who know both candidates prefer Bloomberg almost 2 to 1. Guiliani would stink as our President.
In a word------------"wet."
what better endorsement of Rudy then to have the unions after him....
Unions don’t believe in choice.
