Rudy returns

Posted: Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:13 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger


CAMP HILL, PA -- With McCain called back to Washington to vote in the Senate, Rudy Giuliani pitched in and headlined a $1,000-a-plate luncheon for the Arizona senator, and said he believed the Republicans can win Pennsylvania.

VIDEO: While campaigning for his former opponent, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani talks to reporters about the differences between the Arizona senator and his Democratic competitors.

“I would consider this for John a very doable state, a state he could win” Giuliani told reporters after the luncheon. “Someone like John McCain that has outreach to independent and to Democratic voters, this is a perfect state for him.” (Indeed, a recent Pennsylvania poll shows McCain leading both Clinton and Obama in the Keystone State.)

Asked about the potential of a McCain-Giuliani ticket, or even a McCain-Romney ticket, Giuliani demurred. “The choice of vice president is up to John McCain,” he said. “I’m sure he’ll make a very good choice. I’m not going to comment on that at all.”

No stranger to New York controversies, Giuliani said his thoughts were with the Spitzer family. “I feel great sadness for the governor and for his family and for his children,” he said. “He made a decision he believed was the right one, and I just pray for them.”

Although he didn't rule it out, Giuliani said he wasn’t thinking about running for governor himself in 2010. “I’m not considering running for anything right now,” he said. “I’m just back in my law firm, back in business, getting used to my private life, and it’s quote enjoyable. So I’m not thinking about running for anything right now.”

Obama---nononono
Rudy, how can we miss you if you won't go away?
MCCAIN IS NO LEADER -- HIS OWN PARTY DOESN’T WANT HIM!  HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT ECONOMICS -- THIS IS WHAT HE NEEDS TO GET US OUT OF THE ECONOMIC CRUNCH WE ARE NOW IN!  

HE KNOWS ABOUT BEING A SOLDIER IN THE MILITARY BUT NOTHING ABOUT STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING OR LEADING MEN FOR THE MILITARY!  

THERE IS STILL THE MATTER OF MISCONDUCT WITH A CERTAIN LADY -- WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER BILL CLINTON!

HILLARY SHOULD RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK -- SHE WILL NEVER WIN THE PRESIDENCY!
Maybe it's "quite" enjoyable?
rudy911 is back...he's scarier...he's more fearful...be scared ...be very very scared
Rudy returns...like a bad case of herpes.
Dear Friends:
The personal tragedy in the situation of New York is not the error on his part, but on the error of the FBI. Centuries and throughout religious and early English, European, French, Jewish, Arabic laws and cannon laws and laws of religion the act of prostitution is a sin and crime.  Thus the FBI are negligent should be dismissed for setting up the man and not taking legal action against prostitution rings and individual.  This opens the gate to these acts across the USA in a manner that reglious sacraments and and civil laws are not protected.  The crime is by the prostitute and the FBI manipulating and patronizing the act of prostitute.  They have been sucked into the assistance of the crime instead of the protection of the criminal act and disease.  If any woman or man offers themselves for sex on a street corner or elsewhere for profit and manipulation or set up politically this is forgery and deceptive and beyond it has made the FBI to protect this crime.   It is a tragedy and I am not certain of what was in his mind, or brain ( a tumor or foreign object could cause pressure on the brain ) and cause a different action of judgement.  I am not condoning a person to succumb to the twisted and warped deviant sexual behaviors and illegal of prostitutes, for our society or individual private life.  But we have seen historically where prostitutes were used as spies and or the manipulation of government and the down fall of society or individual for personal gain.  Until equality of justice is consistantly applied toward prostitutes, prostitution rings and pimps, drug dealers, political activists and other government parties have the right and are given POWER to destroy and can lead to even terrorists and or communists or insurgents into power and government.  I suggest the man from New York get an attorney and claim the FBI were involved in this prostitutes political manipulation and spy.  His spouse and family should also file a claim and himself against them and claim that the attempt was made to deface him politically and their marriage personally.  What money was paid? Evidence.     Who ordered the filming of the act by the FBI.   Too many in the government to be logical.   Who gained an African American placed in power not by vote?     Prejudiced press also caused the reaction which prejudice the public and the courts.  This is against the law.  By including photos of the family you have humiliated, embarrassed, accused and abused his spouse himself and his family.    For a prostitute!    Thou shalt not want what thy neighbor has.  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. ( his spouse and denying her protitutional part and filming it for public influence and money)   Make it stop!!!! Stop rewarding prostitutions and rings and pimps or Queens of the rings.  

It is tragic when in this time in history a woman of recognised intelligence cannot express herself in New York when she is made to feel her freedom of speach is a threat, denied and not allowed to express in public.  Yet historically the same was true of Black woman on a bus.  Well today and in this election Obama has called caucasians whitey White and made reference in every way possible of color.  If she were a Latino and the same response was given it would be threatening and she would not have left office.   Intimidation of fear of speaking in this nations is not allowed it is against our constitutional right.  We are not to be denied our personal opinion when not a personal threat to another. Political voting and manipulation of the press also intimidation.  If the woman were asian the same emotional cry and tears and threat silence or spoken would not have been the same.  She happened to be working and supporting his opponent.  Not a threat but a political statement shared by several.  Freedom of which Obama only sees from one color.  You have slapped the faces of All caucasian woman and men for history and it is not acceptable.   Wake up!!! you are pushing America back 50 years.   Freedom is not fear of saying I disagree and this sounds and feels like prejudice.  Prejudice is prejudice it is not to be called reverse discrimination.  There is no such thing.  It is prejudice.
I said it before and I'll say it again. The Democrats better have a strategy that doesn't require them to win PA. I live in PA and I can tell you that PA is very fertile ground for McCain.

I don't like saying it or thinking it but it's the way I see things right now.
Can someone tell me what Rudy Giuliani knows about winning statewide presidential elections?

And didn't he think Florida was a "perfect state" for him?


Obama/Webb 08
Pay attention to this, you super delegates.
If you take NY for granted, it will end up in the red column just like it did when Reagan was around.
If we lose NY, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, and California...or if we lose any three (3) of those states, you can kiss the White House good bye.
Hillary has proven she can win those states. The other guy hasn't.
Do the math, this isn't that hard to figure out!

YES HILLARY CAN, 2008!
"RUDY RETURNS"
--And he brought his one delegate with him.

Did the little schyster charge them a consulting fee?
Giuliani did so well campaigning for himself that, I, too, would want him to stand in for me.......NOT! Come on people, the only REAl choice is Barack Obama, the next President of the United States!
Peter:
I'm never going to view your polls no matter what as I've heard your site is run by the Aryan Nations.
If Rudy runs for governor, get ready to hear more about 9/11.  Can this guy really demonstrate what he did in NYC all on his own without needing the crime bill that passed in the Congress during his time as mayor?  I begin to doubt that.  
Wow, might we see a Clinton/Giuliani fight for the NY Governor position??????

Rudy feels so bad for Spitzer because he probably got services from the same call girl.
