Kerik was once Giuliani's driver. Giuliani subsequently made him his city corrections chief and, eventually, his top cop

This what matters.
Under Giuliani and Keriek, overall crime in New York was down 57%, murder was reduced 65%, and New York City - once infamous around the world for its dangerous streets - was recognized by the F.B.I. as the safest large city in America for five years.
That is what counts for those of us that actually had to live in a crime ridden New York, where life was hell, before Giuliani took over.
Again what has Hitlery ever done in her entire life again?

Yes, crime in NYC was bad, but remember, this was after four years of Mayor Dinkins, the softest-on-crime mayor NY has ever had. With him gone, there was bound to be an improvment in crimes rates.

Interesting that you don't mention Bill Bratton as partly responsible for NYC's crime rate decline. From Wiki:

In 1994, William Bratton was appointed the 38th Commissioner of the New York City Police Department by Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani. He had success in this position, and introduced the CompStat system of tracking crimes, which proved successful in reducing crime in New York City and is still used to this day, but left the job in 1996 after alleged personal conflicts with Giuliani.

Another rap on Rudy is that he's a glory seeker who just can't stand to see someone else get credit for something good.

Have you spent alll your life in NYCity? You do need to get out and about to the rest of this country.

What exactly has Rudy been doing since he left the office of Mayor of NYC?

You think Hillry and company have not been keeping tabs? Wonder you think that x-wife is going to support Rudy moving into the White House without her???

Hillry has won albeit a cake walk of sorts two elections, and more than you even have a clue Hillry was blessed by the mega preacher of mega preachers around this globe, none other than Billy Graham as making a great leader. Don't think that christening won't make great presidential tv ads.

Oh and how about ads showing that Rudy supported and voted for the Clintons in their previous presidential campaigns. You don't think he will be portrayed as the ultimate flipper and flopper???

Hillry has a voting record and she can give the appearance of being one big huge flying hawk when it comes to national security.

What does Rudy have since 9/11???? After this election you think those lost independents won't be seduced by the magical legacy of Hillry. This nation turned over to the cut and run vietnamization of Iraq liberals, so what can Rudy entice them with cause unless we have one huge terrorist attack, which NONE of us want, the majority of American people do not consider the threat to be anything more than political scare tactics.

Crime started to fall under Dinkins and his chief of police. Crime statistics also fell over the entire country. Do you want to give Rudy credit for that too?

Rudy gets credit for getting rid of the squeegee men. He doesn't deserve it. Dinkins chief got rid of them when he heard Rudy was going to use them as an example of Dinkins ineffectual law enforcement policies.

You claim to be from New York, but you don't know this? You have just signed up recently and are a Rudy promoter. How many more of his advance men are headed our way?
