Watch: Giuliani says Obama 'got it wrong' on Iraq.
ST. PAUL (CNN) – This speech is about mockery – and I wonder whether that’s appealing to voters. I really think this tone is going to turn a lot of voters off – it’s ugly, it’s bitter, it’s nasty. There is a bullying tone to this speech, and to Romney’s speech, and I just don’t think it works.
Watch: Giuliani says this is 'no time for on the job training'
Even less appealing: “When they gave up on Iraq, they gave up on America”? Now that’s insulting.
What they’re doing is re-running the 2004 campaign, which the Republicans won on the issue of terrorism. He’s saying the war on terror should be the supreme issue – but for most voters it’s the economy

Well, I tried to listen to his speech. Anger just got the best of me.
Rudy Giuliani, is a piece of trash. Look at all the women he have been with and his life. He is a joke.
As neither a black guy nor a white guy (I will let you all guess the rest)... I watched the camera pan through the audience and is it just me or does this crowd look like a klan rally of about 18,000?
Repubs, stop making empty false statements and lame attacks.... You're desperate! A black man is going to win, get over it and let's really show why America is great. Diversity is not a bad thing!
They have nothing to say on the economy so they will just scare you instead.
I didnt know the republicans were this manipulative and nasty. As an optimisitc person and one that has faith and confindence of works, this speech is terrible. Unfortunately, it was full of untruths.. especially the statements that Obama didint know rather to check yes or no and only present.. I mean how can you let that lie come out of your mouth so easily.
In his eyes.. as he said. Even if Palin had ONE day of mayoral experience she would have more experience than Obama and Biden.. really? are you serious. please tell me you're not!
Is it ugly when it comes from republican lips only?
It'll go over like a lead balloon. The polls already show (and the GOP flaks are already saying on hot mics)–it's over.
Rudy's Speech in paraphrase:
"9/11, Osama Bin Laden, Liberals, Terrorist, 9/11, Bombs, Islam, Jihad, Russia, Progression, North Korea,, Liberals, Osama Bin Laden, 9/11, Putin, War, 9/11, ! Beware!!!!"
Vote McCain or Evil will come.
O'Biden '08
What was I thinking? This is very hard to watch. The GOP wants to continue American divisiveness at a time when we need to be banding together. Is their only platform to show hatred and contempt for everyone and everything different than them. We're in trouble.
Giuliani’s ugly approach disgusts me.
Then, the white old men in the audience laughing at the most inappropriate times.
Sorry....back to the coverage....I see a lady on stage looking like a deer in headlights.
How many times did Rudy and the rest of the gang use 911...?
So much hate, anger, and bitterness coming from the republicans.
They sound desperate and pathethic and a little scary.
McWar and his cronies at their best.
Are you kiddiing? That was a great speech and he all the right notes. Just because he didn't bow down to the ordained one, you think this was bad. Please. He broke it all down for us. BHO is not good for America. McCain and Palin are. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Quit hating, no more haterade! You had your time last week. This week is ours and we are hitting the top notes baby!
senile old war-mongering misogynist millionaires are somehow indicative of Americans ??? neocons are some type of hypocrites
Anyone who believes what Guiliani says, please have enough intelligence to find out the FACTS related to each point he made against Obama.
I don't give a fig if Palin's boy is in Iraq.
Of course he is! All politicians have kids in the military, if they know what's good for them.
I want to know what Sarah plans to do to END THE WARS!
Sour grapes, CNN. He did what he had to do and now we can see history in the making – a Republican woman accepting the nomination for VP - thanks John McCan for making history! And boo to Obama for turning his back on 18 million Hillary supporters. Obama could have made history too – but he took the easy way out.
Hey Guliani –
Where is Osama Bin Ladin?
it won't work. voters are tired of the republican negativity, spin and attack. People want change. someone who will stop villifing those who don't agree with them. the bullying is over.
Republicans are trashes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No respect for the citizens of the USA>
911 POW Sexist POW 911 POW Sexist Terrorist 911 POW Sexist POW 911
Rudy is an absolute joke. Like McCain and Palin, Giuliani just doesn't get it. It's the economy idiots!!
Republican and conservative is the DIRTY word not liberal. Most of the good that has come about in our history is the work of progressive, liberal thinking not the bankrupt and disgusting policies of the current Republican Party.
Any one notice he called Palin a governer...than a senator...than a governer...and ended with a senator. He doesn't even know who she is...it's kinda sickening watching this. Makes me fear for this country tell you the truth
they LAUGHED at Obama being a community organizer
what a bunch of ugly, evil people
i can't believe that John McCain has let this happen
