Show me the blueprints, show me the blueprints, show me the blueprints, show me the blueprints, show me the blueprints, show me the blueprints...
Disneyland perhaps?  Most R's are already in Fantasyland
Hope he shows more class than Fred.  No need to linger.
I just hope he show some class and move on. from the beging he has nothing good going for him anyway,the only thing that he was counting on was 9/11 but, American people are no longer intersted in 9/11 theory rather, they are looking for someone who has something better to offer.

Well the kooks and libs got their way and drove rudy out. Put the blame where it belongs; the main street media and the drive byes press. Prepare to eat alpo and use a club to protect your family, cause you ain't gonna have nothing to eat and they damn sure gonna take your guns. I'd give a million dollars if someone could tell me why this country has turned more commy than russia. Americans have become weak snivelers interested only in themselves. Except for the military americsa youth is a bunch of losers. What this country needed was a strong manager who could make americans toe the line and appreciate their government, quit their lazyness and whining and start to make this country what it should be.  NO welfare, hard labor prisons, no worky-no eaty national policy, tell the truth or go to jail, corporal punishment in lieu of incarcerations, a vigorous and unimpeded judiciary that would let murderers die the way they're supposed to, return to the gold standard, a vigorous nuclear arms rehab, no more foreign aid, and most importantly, death to any parasite caught gaming the system at any level, private or public, or church. Fat chance now, morons.  
I for one am impressed, he answered twice WITHOUT quoting 9/11.
He's speechless. You would be too if you just wasted $375 M... cut the guy some slack. He's just really bummed out.
He had nothing to offer.  9/11 does not make him president material.
"do you have to let it linger?" Linger...The Cranberrys...in honor of Still Crazy--miss you dude
V O from Denver has it right.  You will not find any class with the Republicans, and you will definitely not find any class among the "race card" playing racists leadership in the Democrat party.  It's time for a third party because the current constitutionally ignorant, gutless, politically correct, scientifically weak, narrow minded side shows that are touring our country are poor excuses for nominees, and have nothing to offer America.
Glad this nut is all done. Any candidate that runs on the "war on terror" is all done. People bought that BS four years ago and look what we got stuck with,another four years of the worst administration in history. We need "people" in Washington,not carrer politicians. They have ruined this country enough Now all we need is to get rid of warmonger McCain.
"Going to California with and achin' in my heart"
Led Zepplin.
Rudy was much too liberal for the Republicans.
Giuliani: learning to repeat ad nauseam something other than "9/11".
Don't go away mad, Rudy, just go away!
There wasn't enough air in the R primary for him but what a bunch of smucks they are for putting that liar McCain at the front of the pack. Not that Romney is any better at least he says he won't push amnesty.  I guess we are going to go back 20 years to the tax and steal Dem policies.  Why can't we have decent people in politics?  Term limits, outlaw lobbys and campaigns on public funds? A president who is a constitutionalist?  If only Ron Paul was not so weak on defense!  
Dead fish begins to smell. His strategy, if that is what he call's it failed miserably. "Rudy Country" has been overthrown, the tyrant is defeated. Back to New York Rudy so you can start racking in all the dough again on the backs of 9/11 victims.
NOW HE WANTS TO SCREW UP THE DEBATE
Garth, Iran is calling. They have laid out the red carpet for ya, dude.
