CNN

Tis guy is a loon! A vote for Das Fuhrer Rudy is a vote for the status quo! He is THE MOST DANGEROUS candidate running!

Hey Rudy. You're somewhat correct. Only Bush (the president) can MISconduct foreign policy like nobody else. We need some controlled leadership to clean up the current mess that your party has created.

Regarding to Mrs. Clinton's statement ' the day I'm elected...' is clearly one of many hypothetical statements which people uses to make a point, convey a message. The importance should be the message's substance. It would make Mr. Guliani look and sound unnecessarily subtle and picky when he tried to pick a fight on little things. Please to all candidates, let think big and talk on issues that most of Americans care about.
Kev in Huntington beach

so, now U.S> citizens need presidential authority to speak to people in other nations....yeah that sounds like less government in our daily lives.

The article says the following:

Sen. Clinton "promised to send envoys to foreign capitals BEFORE SHE TAKES OFFICE to herald the end of the Bush administration's foreign policy."

This action would undermine the foreign policy of a SITTING President. That is the problem with the statement.

In the past, there have been "unwritten" rules of behaviour regarding ex-Presidents (they never criticized a sitting President – until Carter and Clinton started doing that).

Also, a President-elect waits until they get into office before acting as if they are President. H. Clinton is violating that one.

Note that H. Clinton's representative did not answer the question – she "deflected" the question and talked a bunch of bubble-headed nothing. Can't anybody answer the question that is asked anymore?

Rudy, what would you do, continue Cowboy diplomacy? She has stated what she would do after the election if she won. Only the President can screw up foreign policy, but a President elect might be able to start straightening it out.

This guy, Stephen of Naples must be either living in a different world or must be from inner circles of Cheney-Rumsfield-Wolfowitz to make such weird statements about Clinton's foreign policy failures. The whole world knows that the Bush's foreign policy disaster is the worst any american president has ever made. And, Guliani and the other republican hopefuls are following the same old cowboy arrogance in dealing with other countries. Other than Ron Paul there is not even a single candidate who can come close to any of the democrats. Its not Stephens fault anyway. Too much of FOX or Rush!

By the way, who ever is elected must send diplomates around the world in an effort to repair the damage done by the Bush/Cheney administration.

If you want to run for President you better be able to understand the written and spoken word better than that Rudy. Every candidate is telling us what they will do as president. I love the fear you people have of Hillary. That can only mean she has good things to offer the average working citizens in this country.

"The era of cowboy diplomacy is over."

Yes, with bells and trumpets and great fanfare, let us celebrate and usher in the new Era of Doormat Diplomacy,
Rip Van Winkle Diplomacy,
See-No-Evil-Hear-No-Evil-Speak-No-Evil Diplomacy,
September 10th Diplomacy
and The Great Satan / Paper Tiger Diplomacy.

I'm sure our enemies are just shaking in their boots, saying, "Please don't throw me in that briar patch."

Stephen in Naples, FL you must be kidding…. Bosnia, Serbia and Haiti – how many of our young, brave soldiers were killed there? How much did it cost the taxpayers? Who benefited the most?

Failure to address terrorism? Bill Clinton told Bush Jr. that Bin Laden was the biggest threat to the US. What did Bush Jr. do? Nothing.

Think things are good with China and Russia today? Look into Putin’s eyes, do you see his soul?

Not to mention North Korea – remember the criticism Bush Jr. made of Clinton? What has he done? The same thing only this time, North Korea’s word is somehow more true???

We’re real close to peace in the Middle East, too. You must have been listening to right-wing talk radio all these years. There is no other plausible excuse for your misunderstanding.

Bush Light or Reagan Lager[dog p_ss] with lime!,they both suck! Lou Dobbs should be drafted for the job.Hes the only person working for the middle-class!

Guiliani is a sick and twisted wanna be.

Three marriages, more affairs (of various sorts), married his cousin and (sshhhhhish) a wife beater.

Presidential material...yeah, maybe in the state pergatory in the country of chaos...on the planet of WhoCares!

Oh, but wait, WhoCares is a planet of carnivorous neo-conistic fascist who serve whiney weak Dems up with a nice bottle of Cianti.

The Dems need to grow a set and get tough!

I like neither Rudy or Hillary, but I like what he's saying. people are starting to tire of Hillary thinking she has it all sewn up. looks like some of the others are closing in on her in Iowa. I just hope people are as sick as me and others I talk to of the 20 years of Bush/Clinton rule. people just don't realize you are basically getting the same thing no matter which one is in the oval office. these people cater to the international bankers and corporations. they are tied into the CFR and Bilderbergs.

There is nothing wrong by Hillary making a campaign promise to reverse Bush's failed policy. Who is Rudy to tell her to correct the statement? He too can rubber stamp his promise to continue Bush's cowboy policy-attach Iran, continue the war in Iraq, build missile defence in Europe, alliniate Russia, bomb N. Korea, cut all the social programs incl. SCHIP, give isurance companies and pharmaceutical companies free hand in health care, privatize social security, cut taxes across the board, wire tap all the citizens of the US, continue torture policy, build mre amd more secret prisons, abolish habeus corpus act, privatize all the govt. services, military, spying, utilities, police dept., and open ended contracts to0 oil companies and award contracts to big oil companies for exploration anywhere in the US including Alaska.

Giuliani is an IDIOT (believe me, I am being nice by using that adjective!).

The picture CNN used is so perfectly suited to his "I am right and you are wrong" approach to every question.

I have said before, and will say again, if the Republicans nominate him, they have sold their political soul forever.

I actually look forward to seeing that happen in a strange kind of way!

Looking forward to helping President Hillary Clinton move this country FORWARD!

Rudy, let's talk about your demand to immediately stop aid to Yemen because of your misinformation that Jamal al-Badawi had been released, not true. This is just an example of what Giuliani will say and do that will continue this Bush era. We can't have a president that takes any misinformation and reports it nationally, that's exactly what happened that got us in Iraq, WMD's. Giuliani needs to apologize to Yemen and the Bush adm. needs to be all over Rudy about this.

Hillary wants to end the war?????????????????????????? No. Hillary said she'd couldn't promise she'd get us out before 2013 (THATS 2013).

She recently voted to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard TERRORIST!

If you think she will get us out of the war you are CRAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYY!

By the way..I am not for Rudy either.

Mr. Giuliani please stop attacking Hillary...we, American citizens, know all about Hillary and her past...it is old news. It is YOU we do not know about! Actually I am tired of politicans attacking each other...just get on with the program and state what you are willing do for this country and American citizens. Attacking other politicans is both childish and non-productive.

Giuliani spins and is an idiot. To know him is to hate him. I predict a landslide victory for hillary.

Posted By A. Thomas, New York, NY : October 29, 2007 9:50 am

From your lips to......you know the rest.

How come it's us who live in NYC or its vicinity who despise Rudy the most? Could it be because we lived under his mini dictatorship and know him best?

Wake up people!!!! Rudy is mean, nasty, petty and vindictive to anyone who opposes his views. He does NOT have the temperament to be president!!!

Thomas..we know that you are really the enemy and no one will listen to a word you say. So put a lid on it!

Hillary will end the war without withdrawaling combat troops by 2012.
And reverse the Bush era cowboy diplomacy that has brought Libya back into the world community, North Korea to shut down its nuclear reator and international sanctions against Iran.

Yeah sure, Hillavision is just what we need now...

Giuliani spins and is an idiot. To know him is to hate him. I predict a landslide victory for hillary.

Guiliani must be obsessed with Clinton. She was only blowing hot air when she said that. She's always blowing hot air. Why anyone ever believes her is beyond me. I don't believe that she even believes herself half the time.

Incidentally, I wouldn't do a darn thing "on her behalf."

Rudy and Hillary can both take a long walk off a short pier.

So according to Ms. Strand "Hillary will end the war in Iraq". When?

Her spokesperson said she will end the Iraq war, WHEN EXACTLY?

She is on record that we will be in there at least till 2012 ACCORDING TO HER, so how is that ending the Iraq war as the insuation is that it will be soon.

Of course a Clinton being on record and then saying something else means nothing to the idiot sheep, who find ways to explain her nuanced lies and non-answers.

If we forced Rudy to correct all of the erroneous or misguided or offensive statements he has made over the years, he wouldnt have time to campaign. Hmmmmmm..... Not such a bad idea!

To jw – "what has dubya did"? Firstly learn some respect for your President, and secondly learn to write properly. If in a couple of years you can master that, then I might teach you some history.

I'm not voting for either Rudy or Clinton. They are both commies and care nothing about the people. Rudy won't get elected because he is bald and Clinton won't because she will be in jail during the general elections. So lets focus on the other candidates that actually care.

Does anyone care what Giuliani demands? Whether or not Giuliani likes it or not Hillary is right, the Cowboy diplomacy is the pillar of Bush's foreign policy and that is the reason we are in trouble around the World.

To Stephen in Naples – remind me what has 'Dubya' did in these countries.

Who does Rudy think he is to put any DEMANDS on Hillary ! He is such a bitter man and he thinks that he can start demanding. She has the right to say anything she wants. He is just worried because he knows she will topple him in the elections.

Giuliani is wrong. The American people and the rest of the world for that matter need as much time as possible to prepare for another disastrous Clinton Presidency. More illegal wars like Bosnia, Serbia and Haiti. More failures to address terrorism. More failures to reach a detente with Russia and China. More failure to achieve a settlement in the Middle East. More failure to address the problems in Africa. The list of Clinton foreign policy mistakes is endless.

She will end the war in Iraq and reverse the Bush Cowboy Diplomacy by sending over bipartison envoys, hopefully her husband too? This is great news. No wonder Giuliani wants to stop it. He is scared of her and losing to a woman. His policy is the Bush Cowboy go get em with guns too.

Rudy – you and Sen. Craig need to go to 'Learn When To Shut Up' class. Hillary knows it will take a lot of diplomacy to restore our good name around the world. Thanks to 'Dubya' and 'The Shooter' we have little creditability left. This election will not be lost in Electoral College, Congress or anyhere else. Hillary in a landslide.

One of the things that I despise in political news near election time is the abundance of schoolyard "Take that back!" bickering among candidates. To me, it suggests that they have little to run on other than to try to bring the other candidate down.

Thus far, Giuliani is the only candidate who I've noticed (repeatedly) demanding that candidates apologize for expressing what they believe in.

Does Giuliani really expect me to be upset that Clinton is expressing her plans if elected president? Is he not telling crowds what he plans to do if elected president? This demand simply seems superfluous to me.

Just another failed attempt to dog on Hillary. Mr. Giuliani have you not learned yet that when your running for president you should act like it, we all understand that its not November 2008, Hillary is just telling us what she would do if elected. Anyone with a calandar knows that Giuliani is grasping at straws on this one!

Rudy is simply RUDE

Broom Hilda in the white house with a woman leading the senate would be two democratic women who thing with Iran the hug a thug thing will work, and it will for a while and them we will be facing incoming nuclear weapons, time to vote Mitt Romney.
Broom Hilda seems like she is getting wore down and cannot keep up the pace.

Oh, and one more thing Rudy, where are your children? I saw Hillary's 60th birthday party and there was Chelsea standing proudly by her mother.

I guess those ungrateful children of yours just won't forgive you for finding out through a press conference that you were divorcing their mom. Kids.......

I am glad to see that people are looking at the bigger picture and not falling for those " who made her president lines'. May be this is one time we need to inaugurate the new president in Nov 08 rather than wait for Jan 09

GO HILLARY 2008! STAND UP TO RUDY AND ALL OF THOSE WHO CRITICIZE YOU FOR NO REASON!

How about Clinton goes Giuliani,its gonna come all out folks,she is way more Talented than this 3 times married man.which they shouldnt allow,him to be in it,thats real family values yep it is.its ashamed your kids dont speak to you.there is more to that than told,yeah i think so.

Why is Giuliani spending more time bashing Hillary than what he's going to do as president?

This is a no win for Giuliani.

America does not want more of the same Necon foreign warmongering policy that's creating way more problems than it's solving.

If this what Giuliani is going to run on, he'll lose the general election in a landslide.

know there are people who will vote for Hillary…none that I know of personally…but there are those who are easily led….like sleep…or pack dogs….or…cult members….

Giuliani will be the next president….and it will show that America is not that stupid (I hope in Hillarys speech she mentioned that SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR…AND FUNDED IT 100% OF THE TIME!!!) – omg….

Posted By Chris, Middletown, CT : October 28, 2007 8:13 pm

The American people were stupid enough to re-elect G.W. Bush on 2004, and I can only assume that you were one of them. And, If the American people do elect Rudy, then they will not have learned from their past mistake.

Good God, Rudy, I never dreamed you were so neurotic!

Give it a rest. So she made a campaign promise. Relax. Candidates do that. Haven't you???

Anyone who's thinking on voting for Giuliani please read the October 23 piece in the Village Voice titled "Running Scared" by Wayne Barrett. Also, the August 29, 2006 article titled "Rudy's Grand Illusion" and you'll see what he really did before and after 9/11.

Okay CNN, why are you pulling comments this time?

Rudy, give it a break! The way I read this is Clinton saying what would happen if she is elected President. I didn't see her forming foreign policy. Rudy, what will you do if elected?

Yes, she is not a healer. GOP and their low minder voters can not be healed.

They can't read for themselves and are easily mis-lead by their talk show host. The core are the list educated in a country with more schools than the rest of the world combined.

No. I believe in the power of the majority. You've had you chance in the last 8 years and messed the world.

Hillary will win the election. So if you don't like it move away somewhere else. Rudy is already ready to leave for France or Iraq. I know McCain is.

Any one that would vote for this nut is wishing for 4 more years of bush.

And Rudy, what are you going to Demand of CNN and their moderators, since is is obvious they all are Democrats ?

Great Demands, Rudy. Is this what you are going to do with Iran? Demand they share their nuclear ambitions with Rudy ?

I'm tired of having to vote for the least worst Presidential candidate; that's all the choices I've had for the past 15 years. I'm not planning on even bothering to vote this time unless Hillary is a candidate. I couldn't desert my Country at a time like that.........

Her comments are for the red meat bunch of her supporters, so what. A very knowledgeable man like Biden calls Rudi the most uninformed man in the race. I see fluff, nonsence and hot air. As a Repug on the blue side of the sheets he has to find some thing to be tough about, just to deflect the attention of the hard core wingnuts that run GOP primaries. True Ms H has not been elected as yet, but then neither did Bush and no one anywhere respects that liar's words. So if we need a new start and sicne it may be our last chance as a nation, don't fret the little stuff. The lady is on target. Except on immigration that is. I hate to say it, but if one could believe Rudi, he does have the right ideas with respect to the 12 million criminal immigrants. Capture and expel, asap. That is why the dems are not likely to get my vote this time. Wish Tancredo could leave the bible thumpin to the pros.

umm,wait...is that a picture of Rudy or Mr. Burns???

Among Hilary's many less-than-sterling qualities is her arrogance, and she seldom misses an opportunity to display it.

Is there anyone who really believes this woman knows how to be president? She's no diplomat or negotiator, only a pacifist with grandiose designs on empowering gov't. I don't want more government or any more of Hillary (or Bill for that matter).

rudy is absolutely right on this.

bush and state dept would have to legally block this interference by someone with no executive experience.

her claims of white house experience are astounding,

Meanwhile Dodd continues to show surprising leadership by announcing his opposition to Mukasey's nomination for Attorney General.

The Republicans are in no position to criticize election protocol, having illegaly taken the presidency away from its rightful winner for the last 2 elections.

simple math:

Giuliani=Clinton=Bush

There is no difference folks.

Yes the person is right this bashing American Canidates every 4 years been through it,we've caught on..Her past is the future see that Rudy Quit being Bush.they all go back to Hillarys past wev'e heard a 1000 times over its OLD news..So she will beat you.

This sort of pre-election diplomacy was begun with the esteemed Republican Reagan's deal with the Iran to release the hostages after Carter had been defeated, so HRC is following the Republican model, so what is Giulliani's beef ?

So Rudy's argument is that Hillary can't make promises for if she is elected?

Is this to be taken seriously? I don't understand what's incorrect here: When she is voted President she will change foreign poicy.

well, at least SOMEBODY wants to mend fences and build bridges that dubya Bush has diplomatically burned around the world during his term-–mend them the faster, the better.....and hey, why NOT focus on wishing someone else was President (ANYBODY but who's in now!!)--we've still got a whole YEAR of dubya Bush to go....will it EVER end???

I'm voting for Mrs. Clinton
and HOPE in the future again.

What is the matter with Republican's English? I heard Bush's English is lower than 5th grade, Giuliani's English is worse than Bush? My goodness, he doesn't understand Newspaper article, how could represent our Country to the world? Giuliani is interfering, please take care of own business.

A bit presumptive of you Rudy. Taking issue of a candidate citing specifics? Hmmm. I think that is what is needed most in a Primary and in the General Election. We NEED to know the specifics of WHAT these candidates will do when they get into office. But I guess Rudy just wants to play the game of vague campaign promises as usual.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

Why is it so terrible for Hillary to outline a policy that she would carry out if elected? Isn't that what all the candidates are doing?

Giuliani can go ahead and criticise the content of the policy, but saying that she shouldn't be allowed to propose a policy is absurd.

Um, what? All candidates say, "When I'm President, I will do this or that." It's pretty standard candidate-speak and is usually just meant to communicate confidence. There's plenty to criticize about Hillary–this is a waste of a press release if that's all he's got.

Hillary has enough people willing to tear her down from both parties, it is a pipe dream, a miracle for people to think she will ever be president

So I see this moderator is a democrat.

Real good Rudy. So is that what you will do when Hugo or Ahmoudinejad makes some off the wall statement. Send a stern warning that they correct their statement ? Just what we need a real powerful diplomat in office that makes kindergarten playground type demands. I really think Al Gore and Michelle Obama should be running. So at least we got class in the options.

Hey Rudy, have you been to 99 counties in Iowa? Better speed up, Edwards is outdoing you. Oh, and Go Hillary !!

Why is this guy still talking? Iowa voters dislike him and Romney's holding strong in NH.

Seems to me ol'Rudy is jealous of the Senator because she takes a lickin and keeps on tickin. I mean let's face it–the girl has the Nomination in the bag and anyone who doesn't accept this fact is not living in reality.

Let's rally around our nominee and beat the right wing nuts in a little over a year!

Wait until Clinton wins in a landslide victory over Romney. How sweet it is...I almost piss myself just thinking about it!!!!

Really Michelle Obama should be the one running for President.

It should be crystal clear by now to all but the most naive or deluded that Hillary Clinton has no defined agenda for being President - her only agenda is and always has been simply to become President.

Hillary is a divider, not a healer.

Rudy, why don't you candidates run a reasonable campaign for a change. Like inform the public of what you plan to do in office. This childish name calling and candidate bashing, reminds me of a pre-school tattle tail party. Grow up, be informative, say something that makes sense.

Well, Rudy, give the hillary some credit. She got it part right. It is much better that she send someone else, other than herself. So at least she is halfsmart.

I know there are people who will vote for Hillary...none that I know of personally...but there are those who are easily led....like sleep...or pack dogs....or...cult members....

Giuliani will be the next president....and it will show that America is not that stupid (I hope in Hillarys speech she mentioned that SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR...AND FUNDED IT 100% OF THE TIME!!!) – omg....

Bill Clinton is already all over the world with the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation. Hillary might as well make use of him and others. Doesn't sound like she said she would be sending people to represent her in the capacity of president prior to her signing in. Giuliani is grasping at whatever he can get ahold of. But, he may as well keep in shape as it will probably be all about Clinton and Giuliani next November.

Hillary also made another critical error with her vote “Yes” to Kyl-Lieberman amendment that will lead as an Authorization to give Bush the ok to attack Iran. Nothing can be done to take Hillary’s vote back. Just like Hillary’s vote “Yes” for Iraq War authorizing Bush to invade Iraq. I guess if “She knew then what she knows now”. That plus her and the Media Crowning her the Winner of the Primary and Hillary NOW Campaigning for the General Election and Hillary keeping her name on the Michigan ballot in a snub to Iowa and New Hampshire. All this should prompt Iowa and New Hampshire to Vote for a Candidate that does NOT take their votes for granted. Obama is the better choice as he has the Primary money to continue defeating HILLARY AFTER Iowa and New Hampshire hands Hillary a decisive DEFEAT. There by showing Hillary and any future Candidates NOT to take Iowa and New Hampshire votes for granted. OBAMA 08

Rudy has definately got the 'manipulate the ignorant' part of the Republican playbook down pat.

The longer Hillary goes on pretending she is already President the greater the opportunity the American people have to see what a disaster the reality would be.

Oh yeah, Rudy has the whole manipulate the ignorant part of the Republican playbook down pat. Definately makes him the frontrunner for their nomination, poor fools!

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has a point, to a degree.

Senator Clinton is not the President-elect or President, yet. And, Constitutionally the President does conduct foregin policy. But I'm sure that Senator Clinton and former President Clinton and all those that work for them know that.

No retraction is necessary. And, the urgency conveyed by her remarks to repair the failed diplomacy or lack of diplomacy under the Bush Administration, is valid.

Her remarks in many ways don't amount to much more than former Mayor Giuliani's threats to bomb Iran.

They mean nothing unless they are elected, thank God!

Hillary Clinton '08.

Hil is a little presumptive, but "Pot" Rudy's objection is a more than a little LOL. Spare us the Hil-Giul Ground Zero Subway playoffs.

Hey, Giul how about your trip to England, Giuliani Partners, and very especiallly, Bracewell Giulani?

Once again, Rudy G. is lost in George Bush mindset. Clinton's idea is no different than any other campaign proposal, and her point is that Bush has made a mess of the U.S.'s name worldwide. She aims to change that if elected. She is not saying she has already been elected. Perhaps Rudy is nervous that he is no different than Bush, and that is the last thing the people want.
