April 26, 2007 -- Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama laced into Rudy Giuliani yesterday after the GOP front-runner sparked an uproar by declaring America would be more vulnerable to a terror attack with a Democrat in the White House.
Former Sen. John Edwards and the Democratic National Committee also joined in on the anti-Rudy romp, accusing him of politicizing the war on terror in a daylong brawl.
Giuliani chuckled about the swirl of Democratic outrage about his comments, which put the media focus squarely on his strongest point - his 9/11 performance.
"It sounds like I hit at least a triple," Giuliani told radio host Sean Hannity. "I was trying for a home run, but I think I got at least a triple - meaning I have got the three leading Democratic candidates attacking me."
The flap started after Giuliani said in a speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday night that the nation will defeat terrorism no matter who wins in 2008, but that the Democrats want to "wave the white flag."
He told the Web site Politico.com that America will be "safer with a Republican president."
... Giuliani insisted he wasn't questioning the Democrats' patriotism, but added, "Everything I said is absolutely true - they want to retreat in Iraq."
He claimed that the Democrats "do not seem to get the fact there are . . . really dangerous people who want to come here and kill us. That, in fact, they did come here and kill us twice, and they got away with it because we were on defense, because we weren't alert enough to the dangers."

A man that dresses as a woman is still a man. A pig that uses make up and dresses nice is still a pig. A democrat that tries to act like a republican is still a democrat.
A tree is known by its fruit.
You said: I like Duncan Hunter right now... but come Nov. 2008 and it’s Rooty against The Beast(or any Dem)... I’ll vote Giuliani.
***
I will also vote for the GOP nominee. I hope we learned our lesson in 2006. Fight for your guy in the primaries, but pull together in the general election. I disagree strongly with those who thought it would teach the GOP a lesson to let the dems win. It is a disaster.
Not from my neck of the woods...
My statment referred to the context of Rudy’s statement, you must admit that Hunter’s statement after Rudy opened the door is somewhat weak when held side by side.
As I have stated on other threads I do not like Rudy.
But he is now saying what others in the party should have been saying for a while.
And yes, Hunter is a good choice, but IMHO he needs to get in touch with his anger at what the Democrats are doing and act accordingly.
I for one am sick and tired of the new tone in Washington by Republicans, I say stnd up and fight or go home.
BTW..MiaT...In Memoriam..lest we forget..
Also, notice that Rudy is coming out even more about this issue in stronger terms.
It is because he knows we are tired of all of the BS from Democrats and no Republican will stand up and fight back.
If this pattern continues Rudy will in fact get the nomination IMHO because the base wants someone to stand up to these askholes and not take any more crap.
So the other office seekers need to get angry and start talking the fight and fighting the fight, or go home.
I am not sure most Democrats are patriotic.
“I am not sure most Democrats are patriotic.”
Shocking! You finally said something I can agree with!!! LOL! ;^)
“Republicans better wake up the fact that the Democrats are unconcerned about this nation, they are only concerned about their own power.”
Got that right. I saw a bumper sticker this morning “Pro America, Anti Bush”. Right. Like this gal gives a flying fig about America.
Maybe the rest of the pack can take a hint and start speaking out against the Dems.
We need leadership from our leaders!
The election is more than 18 months away. At this time NOBODY has any idea who the nominee will be.
If ANY RAT is elected, say goodbye to the war on terror, say hello to TAX INCREASES, DEFUNDING THE MILITARY, TAXPAYER PAID ABORTIONS, THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE, possibly even goodbye to FreeRepublic.
The RATS are already floating the balloon of a one time tax (15%) on IRA's and 401K's (That's a tax on wealth NOT income).
Despite what some on this forum say, WE decide who the nominee will be.
If we spend the next 18 months tearing down every GOP candidate, we are going to LOSE and LOSE BIG. Our only hope is to show the RATS for what they are. Rudy does that, it apparently hits home, and half the people on this thread attack him because they don't "like" him. We need to hit the RATS and hit them hard or there won't be a tomorrow to worry about. Is anyone dumb enough to believe that if the RATS get the House, Senate and Presidency they will leave things as they are so that someday they could lose their power again?
When I was a kid, there were only a few of us with a bat and ball, if we didn't play by their rules, they went home and nobody played. There are some people here acting just like that.
What a dunce of a statement! Leave me out of your little "we" speech.
He would have homered if he called them what they are, “Traitors”.
“”It sounds like I hit at least a triple,” Giuliani told radio host Sean Hannity. “I was trying for a home run, but I think I got at least a triple - meaning I have got the three leading Democratic candidates attacking me.” “
We can question his domestic politics, we can mock his personal life.
But nobody can question this guy’s willingness to lampoon the delusions of the Democrats on the war we are in.
MiaT died?
Patriotic Democrats with a mentality superior to a rock, left the Dem party a long time ago.

What price to pay now, I wonder..?
Especially in a new time of war, in a new century, with our own Freedom directly at stake right here at home..?
12 Milliona suddenly missing Iraqi purple voting fingers for starters..?

“Amazing how many so-called Freepers get miffed at that statement! It is the most important truth of our lifetimes!”
You know why we get miffed? Because we’re not fooled. Rudy is a democrat in republican clothing. Even his momma knows that!
“He only became a Republican after he began to get all these jobs from them. He’s definitely not a conservative Republican. He thinks he is, but he isn’t.”
— Rudy’s mother Helen
