FReeper George W. Bush best summed up the fallacy of Rudi's 9/11 legacy (when Giuliani slammed Clinton over terrorism last week):
"A bit of Rudi's legerdemain. He attempts to distract attention from increasing scrutiny of his own failures as mayor, (a) to update communications equipment, and, against the advice of all his senior advisors, (b) to place his emergency command center and its huge diesel fuel supply right in the Twin Towers, already a known high-propaganda target of terrorists.
The real objective of his attack is to distract from EPA's Whitman telling Congress and the press that she warned Rudi to get his rescue workers into respirators in the first few days after 9/11.
That is what this little Xlinton attack is about. (A) Xlinton didn't make him put that command center in WTC. (B) Xlinton didn't stop him from updating the emergency radio system which contributed to inadequate 9/11 response despite the heroism of rescuers. (C) Xlinton didn't make him turn New York City into a sanctuary city where terrorist elements could live without fear of deportation. (D) And Xlinton certainly didn't keep him from outfitting his rescue workers with respirators."
Rudy is about to be “Swiftboated”.
Ah new recruits to the Thompson campaign!! /s
As of today, there are only two people in Hillary’s way of becoming president, Rudy and McCain. No other Republican is within 15 points of her. And, I don’t think time or the times are being kind to McCain.
The attempt to swiftboat Rudy may back-fire big-time. I, for one, think Christy Whitman will go to the wall for the guy (so, invoking her name against Rudy is a bad idea). And I also think the president of the NYC firemen’s union may have a whole lotta ‘splaining to do, to the rank and file.
Having said that, there are two unions that are rock solid in the Democrat camp, the teachers union and the state and municipal workers union. The old idea that Republicans can get the uniformed police and firefighters vote is eroding.
Anybody who is confused about what elections are about in the United States is simply naive. It is about the future of freedom for us and, perhaps, for the world. (I say “perhaps” because there is a small but growing number of countries we can migrate to, when the U.S. goes down the tubes.)
Those of you who don’t like RINOS, get ready for the President, Congress, Supreme Court and almost all of the state governments of this country to be in the hands of “the real-deal” Democrats. Say hello to tax inrceases, socialized medicine, same-sex marriage, quotas and set-asides, and a foreign policy based on accomodating the dictators of the world.
Let’s see ... Write off the moderates, disrespect the libertarians, alienate the Hispanics, have Americans die for a country that won’t or can’t fight for itself, and postpone indefinitely any other agenda (e.g., S.S. reform, replacing the income tax, or school vouchers). Brilliant!!!
Swiftboat
Cit-Tay !!
Union thuggery at its finest
