If Rudy were the GOP nominee what issues should Dem ticket use against him
I think his current front runner status is just that the nation at large is unaware of his overall record as Mayor of NYC and his less than respectable family life. What would you hit Rudy with if you were running the Democratic nominees campaign in 2008?

2. Can't go for the family stuff right away--gotta let the press leak that.
I'd Rove him--hit him on terrorism and how he failed to keep NYC safe, despite his "heroics". And I'd emphasize that he has NO foreign policy experience.

13. Well, the FP thing is tricky - most of our so-called front runners
don't have any (or much) either.

4. I think I would stick to his
fear mongering. Remember the last fear mongering pres and vp? That should scare all but 9% of america away from him.

8. Not to worry. When the going gets tough,
the Rudy gets going and folds up his tent!!1!!

Did it against Hilary and royally screwed the NY repub's by dropping out at the last moment, letting little ricky lazio run against Hilary.

He will pull the same stunt again, when it gets too tough.

16. Tucker said something funny
in between pissing me off with every word that came from his mouth.

He said there are more pictures of Giuliani in a dress than there are of Hillary.

17. A Different Question Than Those Previously Posed...
"...Mr. Giuliani, please explain in detail your specific knowledge concerning the collapse of WTC Bldg 7 on 11 September, 2001..."

18. Two things say it all ...
The FDNY's two-way radios failed during the 1993 attacks and for 8 years, Rudy did nothing to improve their communications system ... which failed again on 9/11.

Rudy insisted on putting the Emergency Command Center at the World Trade Center, which went AGAINST the advice of the experts.

In other words: Rudy refused to LEARN and he refused to LISTEN ... just like Bush*. Does the country want eight more years of that shit? Can the country survive eight more years of that shit?

19. "Thank god Bush is president" as his first thought on 9-11
Edited on Thu Apr-26-07 05:49 PM by dmordue
The issue is he is delusionally stupid or a complete liar if he says that was his first thought on 9-11

and no response to previous attacks on the world trade center except to make it the center of his emergency task force...
