Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign is reporting it raised 15 (m) million dollars for the G-O-P primary during the second quarter this year.

The former New York mayor spent eleven (m) million during the April through June period, leaving him more than 14-and-a-half million dollars in the bank. The campaign filed its financial report with the Federal Election Commission today.

Overall, Giuliani raised 17-and-a-half (m) million dollars, but two-point-six million can only be used for the general election. He's expected to lead the Republican field in fundraising for the second quarter.

Giuliani also leads in national polls over his G-O-P rivals.

One of them, Arizona Senator John McCain said he was responsible for his campaign's troubles. He tells New Hampshire Public Radio, his campaign has been spending money as fast as donations come in.

Guiliani? Greatest Mayor ever? You are from Republican Staten Island, Rob. I lived through Guiliani in the City and guess what, polls say Bloomberg was by far better. In 9/11 all he did was walked the streets with a mask on. I am glad there will be a lot of Guiliani Stuff coming out of New Yorkers that are against this thug!

Guiliani also happened to probably be the greatest Mayor New York City ever had…a job righly called the second toughest in the United States. Yes, he got a good of 9/11 publicity, but that was because he deserved it. He is not a Bible Belt conservative, obviously, but if the choice is between him and any Democratic candidate…well, that's a very easy choice.

All that money cannot buy back your soul, warmonger and would-be dictator.

Apparently it can't even buy you out of that lisp.

Giuliani is a con artist, who capitalizes 911 to achieve his ambition. Rudy walked on the street of New York as a drag queen, and claims himself as conservative. Does true conservatism teach gender bending? Rudy digged for gold on ground zero after 911, and stopped it once found. Wrong choice; wrong leader. "There's dagger in men's smiles," Shakespear says in Macbeth. And that man is GIULIANI. Do not fall for it…

Giuliani is a lying scum bag. If he wins I will vote democrat.
