CNN

thats good news. i think he is a piece of dog feces....but o well.

What seems like good news to most people is horrible stuff for Giuliani... Now he won't be able to pull the "I'm a cancer survivor bit" and therefore he won't be able to play the "courage card"

I wish Rudy continued good health.

I'm confused by the vitriole and hate spread here by both sides. Although I have to laugh when I read comments that the Liberals are leading the charge of hate. All you have to do to is tune into the conservative dominated media to dispell that fabrication. Why do neocons think that the label liberal is insulting?

I believe this definition describes my leanings

WOW alot of extreme mean comments here. Rudy is best suited for our presidential needs today. Go Rudy!
People consumed with hate shouldn't be allowed to vote, someday they will find their Hitler.

If I were considering Giuliani for president, I would look closely at his running mate. My suspicious mind says that there's more to it than a headache. Yet, if it was just a simple headache and it took him off the campaign trail, there are a lot bigger headaches in the Oval Office.

He was my number one pick if a Rep is going to be elected (probably won't happen). However, with the headache thing, I would now consider the qualifications of the veep he chooses as carefully as I would consider Giuliani's qualifications.

Hey! Reagan from Columbia SC
Your stupid comment re: Giuliani's improvements in NYC could only come from somebody who didn't live there. I did. Like all Republicans, Rudy takes credit for everything and blame for nothing.

To Alexandra Costa from Brasil

Thank God you are NOT a citizen and can't vote for that crook!

I agree with the comment on CNN's bias against the GOP candidates....its been obvious to me also. Its a shame that the media has stooped this low as to put their agenda and bottom line first above the simple media standard of disseminating facts and information so that the public can form their own opinions. Opininated journalism has gone wild and everyone and their grandpa now wants to throw their 2 cents into the pot. I don't know about anyone else but I like to turn on the news and hear truth based facts and not sensationalized spins or someone's bias opinions or speculations or hypothetical comments. I'm so sick of the media preaching their view points as though the public is too stupid to think for themselves. Gone are the ideals of true journalism with good old integrity. Now, it is a just a business where one news show try to out done another by wrapping up every story with as much sentionational spins as they can. The idea now is who can break, expose, make the the candidate stumbled, speechless, sweat more.....wow, now that's jounalism. CNN should join TMZ.com as a tabloid political flavored reporting network. CNN, Con News Network.....that is my perception of this network. Oh, and it is hyprocritical for CNN to fault FOX News because there is really no different between the two except that FOX doesn't try so hard to hide their bias against the Dems.....at least with FOX, I know what I'm getting and don't feel like they are playing me 'stupid'. Sincerely, dissapointed viewer.

For Lawrence from Satle...
You have to be THE most dense Republican as to say "it is NOT a Bush war" Are you kidding... or you still believe that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction.. suported Alkaida.. suplied funds for 9/11.. regime change blues.. go to get all that oil... the war was going to be paid by funds fron Iraqui oil... we were to be received as liberators.. all was going to be over in weeks.. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED..and so on and so on.. all those words that are going to live in infamy... are all Bush's.. or from his remarcable team of "bright patriots"!! all motivated for one purpose... win elections and screw the middle class and poor of America.. Yes Lawrence you are truly an american patriot.. a bit dense.. with faulty memory.. no concience.. and love for money. Truly a son of the Bush empire.

I am glad that Rudy is not sick again but I cannot believe that one American has been duped into his use of 9/11 as his campaign strategy! He was photographed in the streets after the tragic attack because he placed his command center IN THE TRADE CENTER in a suite owned by a crony who then gave him 100,000 dollars! He started a so- called security company with Berick that has earned millions in war profits- he is al about being a war monger- even more so than the Bushies and people want to defend him?
Wake up America! Guiliaini is not the person we need to salvage what will be left of America when we can finally be rid of Bush and Cheney!

I AM NOT AMERICAN, BUT I THINK THAT RUDY GIULIANI WAS A GREAT MAYOR AND HE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT PRESIDENT.
HERE IN BRAZIL WE TRY TO COPY HIS POLICIES AGAINST VIOLENCE.

I hope Giuliani is in good health; however this does nothing to take away the fact that a President Giuliani would give America a president and first lady who have six marriages and God only knows how many affairs between the two of them.

Re: Hillary Clinton IS a moderate.

How so? In food preparation? HaHaHaHa

The great mystery. Just what is all of this experience
Hillary claims to have that should propel her to the White House?
Bill and her won't open up Clinton White House records stored
at his library to give the public clarification. If she gained so much work and policy experience
when she was there, why not show it?

What a shame. Giuliani is a cancerous tumour.

Dick Cheney says his health is fine...Rudy wears a dress from time to time in his spare time..Do you beleive either of them?

RG of Oakland:

It must be very frustrating for you, wanting so badly to say something clever but lacking the basic resources that would enable you to do so.

You must want Ron Paul to be elected - he's the one who says he wants to legalize that stuff you're smoking.

Tom Dedham, Mass:

You're right Tom, these so called "progressives" do not walk the talk. The hate for everything "Bush" is telling...they are not open minded at all and their wish to stiffle any dissenting opinion flys in the face of their charges that the Bush Admin is taking our rights away. It is they that are acting like a bunch of fascists. Personally, I fear the erosion of rights more from the secular progressives and their endless politically correct agenda than anything Bush did in an honest attempt to fight terrorism.

Rudy is the last person we need in the White House.

May God protect us from that Evil.

Rudy Giuliani drastically reduced crime in New York City. Giuliani took people off welfare and put them to work. Giuliani reduced taxes. Giuliani put dangerous mob bosses in prison. Giuliani is the only candidate who worked in the Reagan administration. Rudy has a lot of courage. He's a great man. And I am voting for him for president in 2008. I have noticed that the liberals and the liberal media attacked him when he was improving the quality of life for the good people of New York. The liberals and liberal media are still attacking him. I hope he wins the presidential election. I know that we will have a better future with Rudy as president.

Gosh, my heart is absolutely broken reading the venom in these comments. How DARE you wish cancer on ANYONE?!?!?! Who do you think you are? I think Gallup has diagnosed the Liberal hate problem – poor mental health. It's interesting to me that the Liberals cry "social justice, love all people", yet these digusting, hateful comments come so easily. I'm not making up the Gallup poll, for those of you who will tell me to get my facts straight. I can do research to – even though I've somehow just been characterized as a "buck-toothed, Conferate money carrying, NASCAR-loving warhawk"? Nice loving kindness, there...

http://www.gallup.com/poll/102943/Republicans-Report-Much-Better-Mental-Health-Than-Others.aspx

I'll tell you what's dragging down our country and it isn't the war – it's the complete lack of kindness and compassion for people who believe something you don't. I don't know what happened to healthy, appropriate discourse, but this surely isn't it. The pure, vile negativism that is perverting our country will be our downfall and Democrats are leading that charge. If you question that, just read the transcript from Harry Reid's Democratic radio address. Then read President Bush's transcript. But you're right – the Democratic agenda is "all about taking care of the people". Um, I think someone ought to need to read these venom-spewing blogs and then we'll talk caring, compassion and love for fellow man....

BTW – I hope NO ONE gets cancer, especially the folks who are carrying around so much hate for Conservatives. God Bless, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanakkah, etc.

Rudy Giuliani is one of the most corrupt politician in america. Check out youtube videos of him making fun of handicap paerson, ridiculing and insulting honest NY cities bus driver, and above all his criminal dealing that resulted in the deaths of all the fireman during 9/11 and he has the audacity to call himself the 9/1 hero !! America don't be fooled by the media, do research on him and decide !!

Give Giuliani a break!

Some people feel uncomfortable talking about their prostate or breast cancer.

It's Christmas. Please be kind!

I despise all that is Clinton, but when he was ill I LIKE MANY OTHER non-sheep wished him well.

Too bad MANY of you oh so progressive thinkers (what a crock) can't do the same for the other side.

As a non-Rudy supporter, I still wish him health, and no matter what, he would be a better president than "Ms" Clinton.

Chris, ,Hillary IS a moderate. No number of lies by Limbaugh or the GOP activists that monitor these chat and comment areas can change it. The problem is that the wing nuts in the GOP are on the Genghis Khan side of the political spectrum. Rudi is a liberal republican, like Nelson Rockefeller. But he is another example of a man that has a purely mean streak, like Chaney. I am not concerned about a politician's health, except mental that is. The last thing we need is a camera hound in drag doing policy by photo op like W. Now Rudi is no moron, at least he has that much over Bush. He might be able to tell the truth from time to time, unlike Bush. And his personal business, like Chaney's is suspect. But I do not trust he. He is as phoney as Romney. IF you just have to vote for a repug, try Ron Paul. He is the only one of these ego trippers that does not make my skin crawl.

Congratuations on your negative results, Mr. Guliani. May you continue to live in good health. I probably won't be voting for you, though.

As for Lawrence in Seattle, WA: The fact you state you can write better definitely shows in the multiple run-on sentences, lack of page breaks, baseless critique, and personal attacks in your commentary. The title was 'Giuliani reveals cancer test results' and NOT 'Giuliani reveals cancer...' as you stated. Any person smart enough to open up a web browser page can see that it was test results, and not a confirmation for the disease.

Yes, it could have been taken out of context. It's one of the responsibilities of reporters to ensure their work is clean and understandable before presentation to ensure that doesn't happen. But don't try to say that you can do better, than present an example that shows a substandard work, or else people may think you are a hypocrite. If you want to write better than these people, then go out and do it. Journalistic Integrity can only depend on those who uphold it, practice it, and report the news without being biased.

I wish you luck.

To all the hateful liberals out there like Terry, RG, and David... can't say I'm too surprised that you snakes wish tragedy upon a Republican. Just like when you badmouthed Tony Snow– very "progressive" and "enlightened", of course. Happy Festivus.

Merry Christmas to everyone else!

These very detailed new rankings of the GOP race put John McCain at the top, as Rudy Giuliani drops from first to fourth. The analysis is very detailed, check it out!

Alice, well said. I may not want the guy as my next president, but I certainly hope he beats the cancer. Those who wish harm on someone they disagree with need to reconsider their core values.

PSA is for Prostate cancer.

To those that wish Giuliani ill health, GROW UP and hope you are not afflected with cancer. Idiots!!!

Unfortunately, Rudy's touting his leadership abilities, while most of us are worried about him always running through crises like a loose cannon.

Perhaps more organized management and a tad bit less catting around would have made a better impression. Think his kids probably have the right idea and certainly know him better, as do all the previous wives.

quote from previous post: "Ajay Jain: "Iraq hawks" – Wait a minute. The resolution to use military force in Iraq passed the 107th congress when the Democrats has a MAJORITY in the senate. This FACT sinks the whole "It's Bush's Iraq war" lie – doesn't it? You're another Bash-Bush-Berry flavored Kool-Aid drinker….

************************

Lawrence if you're going to make such sweeping observations you should also take note of the details When the Iraq war vote was taken 10/11/02 the GOP had 49 members in the Senate, while the Democrats 50. And 1 Independent Senator Jeffords from VT

With all 100 SENATORS VOTING: 48 REPUBLICANS VOTED YEA - and only Senator Chafee from RI voted NAY (ironically he lost reelection bid in 2006?!)

29 Democrats voted Yea – 21 voted Nay
And Senator Jeffords Independent also voted Nay

Here's how the vote went down:
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=107&session=2&vote=00237

w/your 2 Senators vote: Washington: Cantwell (D-WA) Yea - Murray (D-WA) Nay

So technically since the Democrats had a 1 member majority at that time, I suppose you could choose to "blame it all on them" rather than the 48 GOP Senate members (and/or Bush) Nice sound bytes though... (But pray tell, who voted for ANOTHER 4 yrs of Bush/Cheney and "his great mandate" then??!!)

Nice comments libs,,, NOT,,,, your compassion for your fellow human -being is overflowing. hope Rudy names coni rice as vice pres to run with ,, what a gift to the world that team would be. What a payback for all the libs who twist and decieve. who lie and plot, who stand behind the pres vote with him and then try and hang him for the very same thing over and over again

You libs sure are spreading you compassion around this christmas,, NOT

Dennis Kucinich can't really win... can he?

Congratulations Rudy on the test results! God bless you in the Primaries.

Romney08!

He lies like Nixon and W. His excruciating headache is caused by tons of BS festering and expanding in his cranium.

Let's see whether Guiliani finally realises God's mercy and starts reciprocating. He can start on the issue of abortion.

Giuliani needs cancer!

No former cancer patient is cancer free. It only means that the modern equipment or test cannot detect it. There are always cancer cells inside that patient's body.

I am a cancer surviver and I know.

This is bad omen for Hillary. The last time Giuliani had an active cancer, Hillary won the senate seat.

So who cares if his prostate is OK or not. This could only have come from his campaign team, since it's protected information. Why does he thinks we give a crap???

Thank you for the positive comments, Libs.

I hope Billary gets Testicular Cancer,

Maybe his headache was caused by the sudden recollection of who told him "the buildings are gonna collapse."

Farrell, you're a retard! HOw is someone supposed to know what the state of their health is if they don't get a check-up?

Posted By Chris, Middletown, CT : December 24, 2007 3:37 pm

Chris, we need to have lunch buddy, so we can plan our Elect Rudy strategy!

Rudy, Merry Christmas to you and your family!

While I sincerely hope that Rudy Giuliani is not our next president, I also strongly hope that his cancer is cured.

he's looking for a sympathy vote now.

I guess he is jerking off a lot. Masturbation is recommended to clean out the plumbing and reduce risk of prostate cancer. Glad he's following advice. Or maybe he's just having lots of fun with his prostitute, I mean 3rd wife.

His cancer is the least of my worries. I'm more concerned with his past performance as mayor, and as a husband and father, his association with criminals, and his honesty and integrity.

Clean bill of health? Good for him.

Now he can spend the rest of his life relaxing and having fun, as he surely won't have to be worrying about the duties of a president.

I'm glad the Mayor is ok.

"go get um Hillidiots…you speak for 30% of the country….moderates make up 70%"
Correction:
Moderates make up 30%, Hillidiots 30%, and bucktooth, confederate-money carrying, NASCAR-loving warhawks make up the rest. This would explain our current situation. Wake up to the hypocrisy of our antiquated on party system.

Why would health matter? We already have a Republican minority congress with no guts to go against special interests, a vice-president that runs on batteries and a president that doesn't even have a brain.

SO What!

Who cares about the state of his health?
I certainly don't.

Ed winter park FL LIES :"when the GOP cuts more health benefits for kids and there parents". FACT: Bush wanted to raise SCHIP by 5 billion – he did veto the Democrat's 35 billion proposed increase. But raising funding by 5 Billion is not cutting.

Ajay Jain: "Iraq hawks" – Wait a minute. The resolution to use military force in Iraq passed the 107th congress when the Democrats has a MAJORITY in the senate. This FACT sinks the whole "It's Bush's Iraq war" lie – doesn't it? You're another Bash-Bush-Berry flavored Kool-Aid drinker....

Good for you! Best gift you could have gotton!

Front page of CNN politics:
Giuliani reveals cancer...
This statement alone implies that Giuliani now has cancer. One has to actually click on the article and read that the story is about test results, and discover he remains cancer-free (a tall order for a lot of people, who unfortunately also vote).
How come the front page couldn't be more clear and state:
Giuliani tests cancer-free...
I don't have a journalism degree (I have engineering degrees), but even I can write more accurately than CNN. But accuracy is not CNN's goal.
I know this is subtle, but go read the Rice/Huckabee CNN coverage from Friday 12/21 and read how many Rice/Bush bashing blog posts appeared regarding the "double negative" wording that turned out to be a CNN misquote. All this subtle crap files "under the radar" as "small mistakes" and "circumstance", but it all adds up. How many media mistakes are pro Bush/GOP? If there have been any, show me some – I'm sure those corrections are front page news, while negative GOP/Bush errors are corrected "quietly". I'm sure these "errors" are good for a least a few votes for the Democrats. This is exactly what I've come to expect from the "cheered when Karl Rove quit" news rooms across america. Bias is still bias even if it appears subtle....

Giuliani is a cancer, even if he does not have it.

Flu-like symptoms do not require reversing a plane journey when it is almost reaching its destination NY. Rudy, you could have completed your flight to NY, NY and seen a doctor there you home state Rudy!!!

Watch the polls! You are loosing momentum and McCain is gaining momentum. Both will loose the nomination. Iraq hawks can not win the general election in 2008 against Hillary!!!

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

Hey Farrell from TX, go soak your head.

So rudy has an excruciating headache and went to a hospital to get rid of it, what will all America do if he is elected and we all get a headache, when the GOP cuts more health benefits for kids and there parents. There is not enough Exedrin in the world to make up for a GOP win.

If his doctors are telling him that he needs to take a daily aspirin, that says heart troubles to me, not cancer. I wonder if they are releasing stress test and EKG results?

Glad to hear our next president is well – I think debating socialists causes headaches...good to have a moderate in the White House – I hope the Dems pick Hillary – sure shot for Giuliani in the White House...even Dems don't trust her....go get um Hillidiots...you speak for 30% of the country....moderates make up 70%

What other secrets is Giuliani hiding from the voters?

If Giuliani had told the truth about the state of his health the first day, he would never have spent the past few days answering questions. What's so difficult about sharing good news? Why didn't he say he was having a "wellness check", instead of flu-like smyptoms/headache. It just doesn't make sense.

This is great news for our former Mayor and all the families that he served. God Bless you!! I hope this Christmas is magical for you and we are looking foward to seeing you our president some day. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy new Year....
