Giuliani reminds be of the old Democrats that you felt would protect the country. The US is at least killing the enemy on two fronts. They are in hiding and disrupted. Heck they declared war on us in 1998. Thank you Bush. Vote Giuliani! Democrats have become extreme liberals. Giuliani reminds be of the old Democrats that you felt would protect the country.

Do you plan to "identify" them by tattooing them, like your Nazi brothers did in WWII? 3: This is very vague. No substance here. There will be no fiscal discipline as long as Washington is controlled by big business rather than by the People. 4: Sure, instead of a million pages of obscure regulations, how about two million reformed pages? How about we just start over with the Fair Tax instead? 5: Washington is not accountable, but the people who swear to uphold the Constitution are. Wrong way to say what you meant. Or maybe you did mean this you way you wrote it, which is even scarier. 6: Another "sounds good". See #3 7: "free market"? What does RG know about free market practices? I thought above we were going to "keep ... on offense" and "lead ... towards energy independence". This one is complete claptrap, especially combined with #4. There is no free market where taxes are involved. 8: What about personal freedoms? Most Republicans are just as fascist as this pledge. 9: Reform the legal system. Does that mean make it work like the Constitution says? If so, that is the only pledge so far with even a scintilla of goodness contained therein. 10: Splash! Spilled my coffee over this one. Does this mean I get to play ninja-guerilla in the n'hood to practice for when Al-Qaeda comces in force? 11: This one sounds like support for government schools to me. "there will be a choice, as long as the choice includes government schools/indoctrination centers" 12: New World Order.

There were plenty of good jobs being created all the time, we had budget surpluses, and other than the Republicans having heart attacks around a Democratic being elected President which all of the pundits thought would never happen again in this century, the 1990's were a blast!! Rudy is about scaring people and I guess his handlers thought he ought to say something other than "lets keep fighting a war on terror and we need to stay in Iraq forever" because people with intelligence know that this phrase 'War on Terror' is an abstract notion and can not be "fought" per se. His Iraq stance is a killer for him IF he makes it to the general election. I love the 1990's. The 1990's were a pretty good decade for America.

The only way one might possibly win a false "war on terror" would be to spend money like a race horse. This would mean zero fiscal discipline and unlimited wasteful Washington spending. It is also impossible to spend that much while cutting taxes without selling this country to the Chinese. The GOP needs to learn fiscal responsibility. When you bleed money on false ideological wars, you need to get that money back through taxes or when China says jump, we learn to say how high.
