Looks like Rudy got past Opie and Andy (/sarc).

Rooty and his Tooters amp up the religious cleansing of the Repub Party, throwing out every conservative value, every conservative principle, to assuage this amoral slob's lust for public office.

All of it's just another idiotic dictum from the mouth that's been everywhere.........Rudy is 2008's amoral flyweight.

Giuliani is the face if moral relativity. It's senseless to even try to refute the momumentally flawed reasoning of a nitwit like Giuliani. Because he is a dorkhead who can't keep his fly shut---he DEMANDS the rest of us lower our standards to get himself elected to make even more "mistakes," as he calls them.

Guy is so self-absorbed. His understanding of American voters and American politics is about as deep as a teacup.

If we haven’t made mistakes don’t vote for us cause we got some big ones that are gonna happen in the future and we won't know how to handle them.”

It's hardly a "mistake" to knowingly and willingly violate the law.

[NeoCaveman]

Giuliani declared Americans should not expect a “pretense of perfection” from candidates"......

Anyone else think that's a direct slam on Mitt Romney?

Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.

Sorry, but I agree with Guiliani on this one. Everyone makes mistakes and these mistakes shouldn’t necessarily preclude someone from becoming president. It depends on the nature of the mistake, whether or not the candidate admits it, when (how long ago) it happened, and what the candidate has done since it happened. If Obama was using crack last week, that would be pretty serious. If he used it 30 years ago, hasn’t touched it since, and admits it was wrong, it changes things.

For example, consider Guiliani’s divorces. Divorce is generally a social ill. On the balance, it harms our society, so it’s a valid topic concerning Guiliani’s candidacy. The nature, number, and timing of the divorces as well as the candidate’s explanations for them should be carefully considered. Remember, Reagan was divorced. Past mistakes shouldn’t be ignored, but sometimes they deserve to be excused.

Sorry Rudy...Obama's use of drugs and booze is giving permission for millions of kids to say: "I wanta be Prez some day".

I didn't do drugs and neither did my friends. Alcohol? I was out of school by that time.

[DustyMoment]

It sounds like Rudy is happy to have someone else take the spotlight off of his past transgressions.

Misery LOVES company!!

"Giuliani declared Americans should not expect a “pretense of perfection” from candidates"...

Spoken with authority by a man with true experience....

[McGruff]

In the book, Obama acknowledges that he used cocaine as a high school student but rejected heroin. “Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though,” he says.

Sounds a little more than occasional drug use to me. Presidential material?

[uncbob]

.he believes Obama’s conversation (about previous drug use) was "completely appropriate.

Watch Clinton come out and say BUT he didn't have to inhale .He could have used will power like my husband
