"I am at a complete loss to understand your thought process."

You prior comments to me in your post indicate that maybe you are either unable or unwilling to understand my thought process. I'm probably wasting my time here but if it helps you understand better it may be worth it.

First of all, I never said Rudy should have stayed home and coddled his two teens rather than attend the funerals...." I really don't respect people who try to twist someone's comments around to mean something totally different than what they said. I totally support Rudy going to all of those funerals. He made America proud after 9/11. I'm not one of those who criticizes how Rudy handled the 9/11 events. He did a great job in my opinion.

Here is where I have a problem. Why is it that Rudy could go to all of these funerals and hold hands with all of these widows, widowers, and children who lost their parents, but could not invest time with his own kids by going to their school events, or visit his son at college, etc? He had time to go to his present wife's daughter's graduation, but he didn't have time to visit his two kids in college? Was Rudy incapable of spending time with his kids while at the same time taking care of his city? If so, what does that say about his qualifications for the job as president? Not much if you ask me.

All families have their problems, I am sympathetic to that, but I am not sympathetic to the fact that Rudy's didn't have time to invest in his own flesh and blood while serving as mayor in NYC. That's my thought process. If you still have a problem understanding it then all it tells me is that Rudy is your guy and there is nothing he could ever do that would wrong in your eyes.

Worth repeating, dmw. Nice take.

As AIRBORNE POSTED To OldFriend: I suppose he couldn't take one afternoon off from going to all those 9/11 funerals, could he? ....At the same time, sources said, he was involved in the life of Judith's daughter, Whitney, and even spoke at her graduation from York Preparatory school in May 2004. Were there still 9/11 funerals going on in May 2004?
