You shouldn't judge a politician by what he does on a stage but by he his actions. Because of Rudy’s work as prosecutor and mayor, New York City is safer than in any other city in the U.S.A. &amp;nbsp;He wiped out the mafia, an action which was characterized by TIME MAGAZINE as the &amp;quot;Case of Cases&amp;quot; and “possibly the most significant assault on the infrastructure of organized crime since the high command of the Chicago Mafia was swept away in 1943&amp;quot;. He also lowered tax rates and, for those of you who consider yourselves “open-minded”, during his mayoralty gays and lesbians in New York received domestic-partnership rights. The presidency is about being able to solve problems and deal with things efficiently. It is not a TV show, and those of you who assess a candidate based on how beautiful his smile is or on whether his moves are nice on stage, well, you should be really proud of your level of intelligence.</description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#522105</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:46:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:522105</guid><dc:creator>S</dc:creator><description>MK, Hillary is no Rudy so don't even put them in the same sentence.

On Sept 11th 2001 we were attacked &amp;nbsp;in 3 states, not just NYC. We were attacked not by a country, but by an act of terrorism, driven by a radical religion. Rudy was Mayor of NYC then, he is no longer Mayor. He sense of &amp;quot;protecting&amp;quot; us from further attacks are way off base. We have NOT been attacked since then. We should not have to pander to the useless UN for direction on how to protect ourselves. Iowa is not NYC and most of us do not believe that &amp;quot;big city&amp;quot; rules belong here. We do not have garbage pickup strikes, transit strikes, mobs running offices, loose port inspections. &amp;nbsp;The main population of New York do not live in NYC, it is a beautiful state, but I bet they, as a majority, do not support the Former Mayor of NYC. &amp;nbsp;I, myself am for John McCain , because I believe in his principals. &amp;nbsp;I believe, because I want a better,safer country for my children and grandchildren. &amp;nbsp;He can transend &amp;nbsp;all the bickering between parties and get something done for all of us. </description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#522443</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:45:03 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:522443</guid><dc:creator>beastofbourbon</dc:creator><description>New York City getting civilized......9/11.....beyond all that ....does anyone in their right mind believe that Rooty's attitude and the way he works with people is the kind of mindset we want for a president ?.............especially in these fractured times ?........certainly not a single republican candidate has the right stuff to be president....it's that simple.........</description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#523102</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:19:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:523102</guid><dc:creator>MK,MO</dc:creator><description>S / '...think with your brain'&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; s hillary has taken the low road, she's never met a lobbyist she didn't like, if you 'think with your brain' you will realize she offers nothing new, she is the business as usual candidate, she has surrounded her self with corrupt, even criminal scum and is basically a dishonest person, she is whets wrong with politics in washington, just like rudy</description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#523103</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:19:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:523103</guid><dc:creator>peter staff</dc:creator><description>ruddy can not say enough about his greatness. &lt;br&gt;his wonder as mayor. untrue&lt;br&gt;his wonder as picking business associates. not very carsugession for &amp;nbsp;homeleful&lt;br&gt;his law firms and thier clients. very hidden and secret&lt;br&gt;his spending city funds on his girlfriend. very shady.&lt;br&gt;his sugestion for &amp;nbsp;homeland security head. cronyism </description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#523109</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 14:21:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:523109</guid><dc:creator>carla</dc:creator><description>pleaseall of you left loonies get out the glass house and see how your party democrats wants only power and does not give shit about us. a bunch of hungry dogs whom will bring the country down and destroy what is left . wake up you party poopers</description></item><item><title>Giuliani tries to show effort in NH</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/17/521600.aspx#523492</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 17:27:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:523492</guid><dc:creator>John Alexander,Edinboro,PA</dc:creator><description>Rudy is taking on water and cannot bail fast enough, Freds forehead is the only thing showing above water, Huck is being stabbed in the back by his own party, Mitt will lose because of his religion, McCain will reap the benefits form the rest as they slowly sink into the maelstrom of the Georgie Bush years.&lt;br&gt;Carla, our country cannot afford to listen to your 'intellectual' repub points, we see what is left of our country and have decided that Marie Antoinette is not the way to go anymore.
