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."

“Rudy just told the Clintons: “I am NOT intimidated by you, and I am NOT backing down. Welcome to New York!””
Rudy the Chicken cluck cluck clucked and didn’t lay an egg when he had the opportunity to run against Hillary for Senate and kill her Presidential chances.
Bump!
Bump!
LLS
If Rudy wanted a homerun, he needed to mention that Democrats are unpatriotic, too.
Bump!
Guiliani is not my choice, nor is Mc Cain.
I’m waiting for Fred.
But if Fred isn’t in and Guiliani keeps beating these treasonous donkeys with a stick .... possibilities.
1993 Attempted Assassination of Pres. Bush Sr., April 14,1993
1993 First World Trade Center bombing, February 26th, 7 Killed, Hundreds injured, Billions
1995 Attack on US Diplomats in Pakistan, Mar 8,1995
1996 Khobar Towers attack
1998 U.S. Embassy Bombing in Peru, Jan 15, 1998
1998 U.S. Kenya Embassy blown up, 100's murdered
1998 U.S. Tanzania Embassy blown up, 100's murdered
1999 Plot to blow up Space Needle (thwarted)
2000 USS Cole attacked, many U.S. Navy sailors murdered
Hillary (if she manages to win the nomination) needs someone as flawed as Guiliani to run against so she can minimize the impact of her own high negative numbers.
I read this morning that their readership and circulation continues to drop.
Good stuff.
They want a weak America and a roving Bill Clinton.
In the midst of the dems PROVING they are all about cutting and running, huge spending on earmarks, and giving aid and comfort to our enemies, they attack the messenger for pointing out their treachery!
Bump!
“At least he is taking the fight to them unlike other Republicans with no spines or balls.”
What a pantload of pure unadulterated crap.
Rootie is the candidate who thinks that waiting periods for guns (the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed) but taxpayer funded abortion on demand is a right!
Are you saying Duncan Hunter has no balls? Even kooky McCain didn’t back down from his “bomb iran” song.

ONTARIO – Rep. Duncan Hunter is urging home-state conservative activists to back his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination, saying he would build the Mexican border fence immediately, crack down on Chinese trade practices and appoint only anti-abortion judges to the bench.

“....Democrats can not be allowed to take the White House!”
Amazing how many so-called Freepers get miffed at that statement! It is the most important truth of our lifetimes!
I hear you but that seems to be off-limits, for now.
Bump!!!
I have read that quote already, and while I am not a Rudy fan by far, I still think Hunter needs to grow some bigger ones and speak more dircetly yo the issue and not dance around it in that manner.
Thanks for the post.
I don’t care who you are that is plain funny. Poor Rats getting called out with the truth.
Pray for W and Our Troops
