I am born and raised in NYC and I lived in NYC through both of Rudy’s terms. I voted for him 3 times for mayor. He also almost had me sold on the same kind of tripe you just regurgitated here tonight.
Let’s just throw out Rudy’s liberalness for a second.
But look back, if you really were in NYC during his tenure as mayor. Remember the power grabs. Remember trying to take people’s cars for traffic infractions. Remember the way he ran roughshod over EVERYONE, not Democrats only, but ANYONE to do what he wanted. Will he fight Dems? You betcha, but he’ll be fighting all of us as well, because it’s all about him. If Rudy were elected as leader of the free world, he would be everything that the left fantasizes that Bush is times 100.
Add that to the fact that he’s nationally a clueless politican, as evidenced by his recent abortion remarks that not only brought up that particular topic, but in a single paragraph made everyone think ‘Well, if that’s a constitutional right that’s not in the constitution, how come he doesn’t believe in what the constitution says about my right to bear arms????’.
Add those and you have a guy who WILL lose via a 3rd party challenge, and you are supporting a sure loser. Heck, I don’t even know if it’ll take a 3rd party by the time it’s over.
But the point is moot, because Thompson makes Rudy look like a child running for class president.
People forget, or are too young to really remember how unhappy he made people...and how authoritarian he behaved. I knew that from the news stories, and I didn’t even live there.
Rudy is NYCentric. He knows next to nothing of America!
