Presumably, Giuliani didn't think he could do both. Or maybe let's say he just didn't want to try, because he wanted to focus on the treatment. So he didn't.

If he didn't want to run, fine. Just don't blame it on a physical impairment that didn't exist. As was evident in the news from 2000 and 2001, Rudy didn't miss a beat.

What's your problem with that? You've got a problem with that? Why the heck would you have a problem with that?

I have a problem with lies and mistruths, particularly from people who want to become public officials. And why the heck do you have a problem with that?

Well, at this point it's worth pointing out that cancer is a physical impairment.

But you're also attacking something of a strawman. Giuliani, to my knowledge, never said "I am physically literally incapable of running for this office". I've quoted you what he said in post #172:

"I've decided that what I should do is to put my health first and that I should devote the focus and attention that I should to be able to figure out the best treatment".

Which part there do you think you've 'disproved'?

So: he had decided not to campaign because he felt he should focus on his treatment. And here's what you've just said: "If he didn't want to run, fine".

Well, he didn't want to run, he wanted to focus on his cancer treatment. And you have no good reason whatsoever for doubting that. So we're fine then, right?

I have a problem with lies and mistruths, particularly from people who want to become public officials.

Where's the lie or mistruth in Rudy stating that he wanted to focus on his cancer treatment? Do you think Rudy "didn't really want" to focus on his cancer treatment? Does that make sense?

And why the heck do you have a problem with that?

Because again, you presume to know that which you do not, and you bizarrely second-guess a fricking cancer patient based on nothing but fluff and your own hatred of the guy. I guess I have a problem with that on many grounds: intellectual, moral, aesthetic....

It's just low and I think you know it.
