Rudy In London

20 Sep 2007 01:14 pm

I haven't written much about Rudy Giuliani's amazing trip to London, but it must really jazz up his campaign that he is exfiltrating so much adoring American press coverage for what is, basically, a stunt. And a fundraising opportunity.

One Rudy supporter gloats: Which sends a stronger message? Romney protesting Ahmadinejad's UN visit? Or Giuliani promising to "set them back" five years if they make a nuclear weapon?

Gloating about what? The bottomline is both Rudy and Mitt are liberals at core and are phony politicians.

Rudy needs to answer the following questions first:

- Why is Giuliani still employing his childhood friend and a priest, Monsignor Alan Placa, who is accused of Child Molestation in his law firm? Giuliani employs Placa as a consultant at Giuliani Partners despite a Suffolk County, NY, grand jury report that accuses Placa of sexually abusing children, as well as helping cover up the sexual abuse of children by other priests. Why is Rudy protecting a credibly accused child molester?

- Why did Rudy make a criminal like Bernie Kerik, once his personal driver, his police chief? Why did he recommend him for the post of Chief of Homeland Security?

- Why is Rudy a chickenhawk? Why did he dodge the draft?

- Why you failed to show up at ALL the meetings of Iraq Study Group?

- Why earning $100K for a speech is more important than attending meetings of Iraq study Group?

- Why you were kicked out of Iraq Study Group by your own republican colleagues like James Baker?

- Why Rudy likes to dress up in women's clothes or in drag?

- Why does the word "Iraq" not appear even once in his list of "Twelve Commitments"?

- Why did Rudy marry his own cousin? and why is Rudy married thrice?

- Why did he announce that he is filing for divorce with his second wife during a press conference?

- Why was Rudy bringing his mistress to the Emergency Command Center at WTC while he was mayor? Why was Rudy using it for illicit relationship?

- Why is Rudy paying his wife $125,000?

- Why was Rudy a very pro-gay-rights politician throughout his career till he jumped into presidential race?

- Why did Rudy criticize the Vatican for vatican attacking Clinton's decision to veto a ban on late-term abortion in 96?

So Giuliani has time to visit London to make money but he does not have any time to visit Iraq.

Giuliani has never visited Iraq.
********************************

That Giuliani supporters believe in the utility of "we'll send you back five years!" messages tells you a lot about what sort of presidency it would be.

Hmmm. A "stunt ... and a fundraising opportunity."

How much of *anyone's* campaign does that *not* apply to at this point?

It is concerning that candidates are raising money overseas while virtually ignoring some of the states for fundraising opportunities.

Watching "Court TV," today, it struck me that a nearly perfect storm is hitting Romney: the trial of polygamist Warren Jeffs.
Despite the putative and no-doubt real differences between the mainline LDS church and rogue Mormon groups like Jeffs', the too-close identification and broad-brush way people have of looking at unfamiliar religions will make Romney seem more and more unpalatable the more time Jeffs spends in the news, especially on cable TV's 24-hour talkathons.
It may not be fair. In fact, it seems to be the whole prosecution of Jeffs raises scary questions of bigotry against certain religions and an unconstitutional intrusion into religious beliefs and practices.

But aside from my personal beliefs or political leanings (I've got no big dog in this fight) this is my prediction: Romney will sink in the polls steadily largely because of Jeff's prominence in the news.

nodakboy you are missing a few important points.

This church has nothing to do with the LDS any more than Catholics for NAMBLA has to do with the Vatican.

Also, this country is not quite as bigoted and ignorant as you may wish. Perhaps the people you han out with are, but not those of us capable of rational thought.
