They come here then whine and complain things aren't the way they are in that sty they call New York City. Guiliani is a lame duck. Even the firefighter unions of New York City say this guy is a liar and the last person we want as president. He's a walking oxyMORON. You can't be both a devout Catholic and support abortion rights (What would you think about someone who said he personally opposed slavery, would never own a slave himself, but fought fervently for the right of others to own slaves? This is Giuliani's position regarding abortion).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; And Giuliani (and his entire camp) is crying, complaining and whining more than never now that Governor Crist had the good sense to endorse another candidate.

Exactly how is it that you think all the candidates except yours are going to spend their way out of the election? &amp;nbsp;Wins bring in more fundraising. &amp;nbsp;Your boy has raised impressive amounts, but he hasn't even come close to a win in any of the states that have already voted (even the second in Nevada was miles behind the winner- not even half). &amp;nbsp;I'm not worried about the top candidates spending the money they've raised/earned. &amp;nbsp;I am curious what Paul is going to do with all the money he's raised when he finally gives up (it's already obvious to the rest of us that he doesn't stand a chance in the GOP... so unless he runs as an independent...which he said he wasn't going to do on numerous occasions...) Just a thought.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>A going-away gift from Rudy?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/28/615538.aspx#616559</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 00:02:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:616559</guid><dc:creator>Kira, Utah</dc:creator><description>Tim- &amp;quot;Is it possible that we're actually watching the general election play out as Hillary v. Obama? Rudy and the others seem to know this already. I'm a Republican but can't get excited about any of our choices. There is nothing hopeful going on in the GOP.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ok, surely you know at least a little something about the election process. &amp;nbsp;It doesn't matter how crappy the choices are, there will be one candidate from the dems and one from the GOP... and perhaps an independent. &amp;nbsp;There CANNOT be 2 dems running against each other in the general. Neither HC or BO would ever consider being a republican, so your scenario is ridiculous. &amp;nbsp;Sorry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Marty- &amp;nbsp;are you serious? &amp;nbsp;You know an &amp;quot;honest&amp;quot; candidate when you see one and you think that's John McCain? &amp;nbsp;Apparently you haven't been paying attention the last few days. &amp;nbsp;Lied in the debate about his knowledge/comments on the economy, lied about winning the repub vote in NH and SC, lied about Romney (the timetable nonsense). Lied to/cheated on his first wife. &amp;nbsp;Lied about his amnesty position/former immigration stance... etc. &amp;nbsp;Sorry, he is in NO WAY an honest candidate.</description></item><item><title>A going-away gift from Rudy?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/28/615538.aspx#617560</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:29:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:617560</guid><dc:creator>Pat Curley</dc:creator><description>I expect the Ron Paul fans to give up sometime midway through 2010.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What would be a really nice going away present from Rudy would be an endorsement of John McCain.</description></item><item><title>A going-away gift from Rudy?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/28/615538.aspx#618518</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:05:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618518</guid><dc:creator>Dave</dc:creator><description>Now that i have read all of your comments from you screaming liberals and your hatred for &amp;quot;RUDY and AMERICA&amp;quot; I now have to reevaluate my vote for Mcain to Rudy because if he generated this much hatred from you people he must be doing something right!!! </description></item><item><title>A going-away gift from Rudy?</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/28/615538.aspx#618706</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:42:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:618706</guid><dc:creator>LP</dc:creator><description>Kathryn,&lt;br&gt;Mike Huckabee will not be accepted as a uniter because of his credentials. He is an evangelical pastor and he does not seem t have room for people like gays,atheists, other religions etc in his camp. Remember how Pres. Bush was supposed to be the great uniter. And we all know what happened. With Huckabee, it will be another version of my way or the highway, but could impact education with creationism forced down the throats of others. Sorry, not a uniter, but a divider !!</description></item></channel></rss>
