Blue Bell, PA - Former New York Mayor and one-time presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani railed against the Democrats at a rally here at a local fire house. He was campaigning for Pat Toomey (R), who is deadlocked in a Senate race with Rep. Joe Sestak (D). Toomey had a big lead in the contest, but it has tightened significantly in recent days.
He frequently referred to the trifecta of "Obama-Pelosi-Reid," saying that it's important to "correct the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda" of "big giant government" this election.
"They want to make us like one of those European social democracies where the government runs just about everything." Giuliani said Toomey's opponent, Joe Sestak, may be the only person in the country that he knows that "wants to go further than the Obama-Pelosi-Reid."
"I don't know how much further you can go without going into the ocean," the former New York City mayor said.
"Barney Frank!" someone shouted from the crowd.
"You found one!" Giuliani acknowledged.
At one point during Giuliani's speech, someone in the crowd yelled, "You should be in the White House!"
Giuliani acknowledged the comment and told the crowd a story about a woman he met at the airport California recently. "This woman came up to me and said to me 'You would make a better president than President Obama.' And I said, 'Ma'am, thank you very much, but that is not a compliment.'"
"I know thousands of people that would make a better president than President Obama," he exclaimed. "I know hundreds of thousands of people that would make a better speaker of the House than Nancy Pelosi."
He continued railing on Pelosi. "No more Nancy Pelosi on Sunday morning television! That alone is worth voting for Republicans."
"Or on 'Saturday Night Live'; she's a big enough joke!" someone from the crowd yelled.
Maybe she can get a spot on "Saturday Night Live," Giuliani mused. "Or maybe she can take Juan Williams' place on NPR," said the former mayor.
"All the poor guy did was express his feelings," he said, defending Williams, a television commentator who was recently fired from his post at NPR for comments he made in regard to Muslims which his employer said were insensitive. "Juan Williams just expressed something that a lot of people feel."
He also said people should stop worrying about offending people when it comes to protecting American soil. "I would like to know, who is offended if I say 'Islamic extremism?'"
"We need an Italian president!," someone yelled from the crowd, referring to Giuliani's Italian background.
"Frankly, I don't care who's offended by it, because if you're offended by it there's something wrong with you," saying that Islamic extremists were an "embarrassment to decent Muslims."
"Any Muslim that gets offended by that better straighten out their way of thinking."
Giuliani, who flaunted the fact that he was wearing cowboy boots, spoke to a crowd of about 200. He said he won the boots in a bet in 1996, when the Yankees beat the Texas Rangers. After the event, Giuliani was headed to Texas to see Gov. Rick Perry, with whom he has made another wager on the Yankees-Rangers playoff series.
What's the wager?
You guessed it: cowboy boots.

Rudy? Is that old coot gay? I mean, serriously.
Drive-by,
If he's gay, you're saying that's a bad thing? Or are saying it in a way that Vince Vaugh said it and the Liberals freaked out?
Rudy-what a wonderful addition to the bigots, birchers and birthers that define the character of the republican party.
AMEN RUDY, AMEN!! Bloomberg should take a few lessons from Rudy!
Seriously, does Giuliani still lay awake at night and wonder why he never even got close to being President?
I know an awful lot of Pennsylvanians, and I can't think of a single one who would be swayed by this has-been's endorsement of Toomey or unfounded criticism of Sestak.
Oh, and by the way, Rudy, you got your nouns and verbs in, but forgot to mention "9/11"......
I appreciate that he at least made an effort to distinguish between Muslims and Extremists. The method of this delivery could use some polish, but it was there.
Too bad he didn't offer any suggestions about what Republicans should actually DO if they take over congress. It seems their only agenda item will be "Do nothing and blame it on Obama in 2012."
Keeping with the "Blame Bush" theme of Obama et all? Exactly WHEN does one take responsibility for their OWN FAILURES????
He's a great one to come in and talk about values,especially family values. Hypocrisy!
I hope that the Republicians don't re take the House and Senate, if they do we will have a government of vetos and executive order. Its too bad that the two parties have such different views on everything. I don't have too many years left but in my life time this is the worst I have ever seen. M Mac from Calif.
This is great news!...
...for Joe Sestak!!!
Nah, Obama sealed Sestak's fate
See, I can find ONE good thing Obama did. Too bad nobody else can
What a sad day in American history - I guess it's okay to toss out the civil rights act when it comes to Muslim Americans. If had sad anything else, there would be a full on media firestorm - just insert any other group in to his quote: african americans, rednecks, jews, etc. But oh no - it's completely fine to bigot against any muslim who chooses to dress how they see fit.
This is how racism becomes accepted in a population. It starts off small - when certain groups of people are allowed to speak freely, and instead of stopping them, you say - oh, they're crazy... let them be. Then, they start to rachet up the rhetoric a little more, and when that goes unchecked - people start feeling more comfortable about opening up. With the uproar about the American citizens who want to build a muslim community center - no one put the racists in their place and stopped them.
So now, it's become perfectly acceptable to be outwardly racist against muslims. Bill O'Reily didn't think he didnt anything wrong with his outburst last week, not does Juan Williams. "But, I prefaced it by saying I"m not a bigot!" You can't say... just because I use the n-word sometimes, that doesn't mean I'm a racist.
Last time i saw Rudy he was dressed as a woman ...and a ugly one at that !
Criminals are tried in courts of law, with due process, their faith aside..bridges not wedges should be built between cultures..faiths.. and people..respect of religion (islam or otherwise) gives consideration for the billions that follows the faith across the globe and have believed in it for centuries..
Many American Muslims are shocked and dismayed by the level of ignorance and racism exihited recently..America must equally nurtre it's own Muslim citizens in order for them to integrate good American' values with those of their faith and shine on the world stage. We must protect our very existence from the deleterious effects of this wave of self destruction. It is time to change our foreign policy directive from war to peace, friendship, cooperation, development, trade .and export.
A businessman is drowning in the ocean.
Stimulus : we should rescue him immediately.
Power first : Nope ! How do we pay for it. Just let him go under much like Lehman Brothers.
Stimulus : He is dying right now.
Power first : Nope ! You can't save his money bag.
Stimulus ( clock is ticking ) : : We can do everything.
Power first : We are serious about jobs. Where are jobs ?
Equation :
Depression : New Deal = Great Recession : Stimulus Package (Groundwork) + Incomplete Energy Independence or A Jobs law
The Problem = The destructive war & military waste + Stimulus Package
Therefore = Incomplete Energy Independence or A Jobs law - The destructive war & military waste
Criticism = Stimulus Package (Groundwork)
Conclusion = Gambling on Iraq Oil + weapon sell Again + Double-dip Depression
Cure = Slashing the destructive war & military waste + Completion of Energy Independence or A Jobs law
Anger at These :
Gambling on Iraq Oil Again : A Drop in the Bucket Vs. Growing Population & Demand World-wide. The Age of Cheap Oil = A Thing of the Past.
1. At this time, it looks like the oil-friendly country is gambling on Iraq oil again, citing a big government & deficit, and therefore the world-wide stimulus package worth trillions and health care reform in America are now at stake.
2. Of the money by the money for the money is getting a society nowhere near prosperity.
Gambling on party of "no idea" is sure to be much like Throwing an Egg of Economy Against a Rock.
The outcome of government take-over :
1. In banking industry, the result of government take-over is big bonus parties backed by the tax-payer's invaluable cash.
2. In healcare reform, the outcome of government take-over is to dump ill children when needed most.
3. In oil spill, the administration should be held responsible for its deregulation, urging a big government
Chanting deficit :
1. Amid chanting deficit, the same old failed policy.
2. Amid chanting deficit, hands-off approach over huge trade deficit from oil money spill & trade imbalance with China from remorseless health care premium.
3. Unfortunately, as a direct consequence of remorseless health care premium, numerous folks have no choice but to hang onto affordable offerings, since one in two households is said to face a hard decision between necessity & drug.
4. Inaction cost in relation to health care reform totals $9trillion over the next decade.
5. Over the next 10 years, total Bush tax cut costs will equal $3.9 trillion, .... the tax cuts would increase deficits by nearly $4 trillion between 2005 and 2014.
The most critical debt : Personal Bankruptcy
1. The current recession came from Personal Bankruptcy largely as a consequence of the relentless health care costs, pain at the pump, and the subsequent subprime mortgage crisis.
Facing huge trade deficit from oil money spill & trade imbalance with China, the primary economic policy of previous administration was " spending baby "to the great delight of republicans' sponsors.
2. By comparison, the recovered stock market value alone, around $1.5 trillion, is nearly twice as much as the stimulus package, set aside all the other benefits.
As always, the republicans and unqualified media let folks locked in a box. ruling out the positive effects.
The most promising deficit-cut of government : Slashing the destructive war & military waste
1. Slashing the destructive war & military waste alone supposedly could be enough to balance the budget.
Energy Independence : An Only Way to Desperately-Needed Job Growth
1. My response to the question : where are jobs ?
In the trade deficit, exactly in the severe and persistent oil money spill, taboo of " do not add to the deficit" party.
2. Under the existing Bush tax cut for lavish bonus parties, a sole job plan for the republicans, the country already saw millions of job cuts.
If you are planning a mortgage refinance then you should search online for "123 Mortgage Refinance" before you decide they found 3.25% refinance with bad credit history and also did instant analysis of my mortgage.

typical liberal parroting. You do know that Madoff was a DEMOCRAT?
The Madoffs were also hefty donors to political candidates. In total, the Madoff family has donated more than $380,000 to political candidates, parties and political action committees since 1993, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The giving skewed largely Democratic
One of the largest recipients of Madoff largess was Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who received $39,000 from the family for his two Senate races. Bernard Madoff has given an additional $100,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee since Schumer took its helm in 2005.

Seems to me, he was the TYPICAL DEMOCRAT!
Nuff said!
Hey Dems, Oblaba is jinxed. He is the 5th Horseman of the Collapsed American
Economy , riding his horse and waving his Shovel.
If Obama is the 5th horseman then Bush is Jonah everything he touches Iraq,
Katrina, Afghanistan, Bin-Laden, the economy, and the list goes on goes to hell
. Stop with the revisionist history, if anyone is shoveling anything it was that
LOSER!
Hmmm… you want to compare lists??
Gulf Oil Spill, Failed Stimulus (payback to his buddies, not taxpayers), Unemployment, Obamacare…but it looks like I am not the only one….
1. "Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of 'earmarks,' urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them, some that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. 'Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,' Obama said." -- McClatchy, 3/11
2. "There is no doubt that we've been living beyond our means and we're going to have to make some adjustments." -- Obama during the campaign.
Too bad that doesn’t apply to Michelle!

Not to mention the great racial divide....
"The election wasn't so much about what Obama brought to the table," said. "People voted for him because they wanted to feel good about themselves, that they weren't racist."
Johnson even argued, Mr Obama had set back the cause of race relations by playing down the white side of his heritage. "His mother was white, his father was a person of colour but every time there's a racial issue he plays the race card just the same as everyone else."
That's a tough charge to make, but Johnson has a point. When a white policeman arrested a black Harvard professor last year, Obama didn't wait to hear the facts before accusing the cop of acting "stupidly".
***That is the Michelle/Rev. Wright influence on him

What's your "obsession" with Mrs. Obama? All of those like yourself who "claim" he was only elected because it made people feel good are the true racists, because your saying it was because he was black. Make up your mind
FEDUPFED,your sounding paranoid and schizophrenic, he has never denied his bi-racial origins and was for all intent and purpose raised by his maternal WHITE family.
The part you probably don't get is that in this country you are what "you look like''. In this country you can be anything you want to be, but you can't be white if there is a drop of black blood.
