Giuliani is in a new robocall for McCain.
Giuliani is in a new robocall for McCain.

(CNN) – Rudy Giuliani is the star of a new robocall from the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee that seeks to portray Barack Obama as soft on crime.

In the new call, to be blasted to voters in several swing states, the former federal prosecutor and New York City mayor says Obama opposes "mandatory prison sentences for sex offenders, drug dealers, and murderers."

"You need to know that Barack Obama opposes mandatory prison sentences for sex offenders, drug dealers, and murderers," Giuliani says in the call. "It's true, I read Obama's words myself. And recently, congressional liberals introduced a bill to eliminate mandatory prison sentences for violent criminals - trying to give liberal judges the power to decide whether criminals are sent to jail or set free."

"With priorities like these, we just can't trust the inexperience and judgment of Barack Obama and his liberal allies," Giuliani says.

Listen: Giuliani narrates the McCain/RNC's latest robocall

The Obama campaign did not have an immediate comment, but according to its Web site, the Illinois senator does support "reforming mandatory minimum prison sentences."

"Every leading expert body in criminal justice has opposed the use of mandatory minimum sentences, including the Sentencing Commission, the Judicial Conference, the American Bar Association, and leading criminal justice scholars," his Web site ways.

Giuliani's robocall comes a week after the Republican National Committee and the McCain campaign blasted a robocall to swing-state voters highlighting the Democratic presidential candidate's connection to 1960's radical William Ayers.

Those calls have drawn criticism from a handful of vulnerable Senate Republicans wary of turning off independent voters, including Maine's Susan Collins, Minnesota's Norm Coleman and Oregon's Gordon Smith.

Man..Nov. 4th can't some soon enough so I do not have to hear these guys in the news anymore.

They sure are desperate!

Hey Rudy, how's the ex-wife you left for your mistress. Get your own affairs straight before you talk about others.

Nik   October 22nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Is it me or does the McCain/Palin ticket seem so irrelevant now? Obama held a major summit yesterday while the Rick Davis contemplated using Rev. Wright because of John Lewis. Obama is giving policy specifics and solutions. The McCain campaign has useless robocalls. Obama will win as long as the republicans don't steal the election.

steveg   October 22nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

When will this slimebag slither back under the crevice he ooozed out of?

To profit on the death and suffering and horror of 9/11 is unspeakably horrific – and he seems to revel in it.

Sick.

Broody   October 22nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Robocalls, swift boat, negative tactics – this works for some of the attention deficit electorate. For the rest of us it shows how despicable the GOP tactics are and is representative of their own character or the lack thereof.

The GOP records stands for the last 8 years and the contract with America. Sometimes its best to keep quiet especially coming from someone like Giuliani who can best be judged by his super presidential campaign.

Dhillon   October 22nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Again a wrong tactics No body like Giuliani, Not even republicans Find somebody who is credible Call from Giuliani will move more voters away from MCCAIN. I don't know who advice MCCAIN such a stupid moves

Alex   October 22nd, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Rudy is an idiot who is easily dismissed as evidenced by his primary campaign. What's next calls on morality from Larry Craig?

I can see Alaska   October 22nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Guiliani is an IDIOT!

His campaign strategy worked great, I hope he does the same for McCain!

Collin Kelley   October 22nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Oh, Rudy, do shut up.

Tony   October 22nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA.

IF YOU GET MCCAIN AND PALIN BECAUSE YOU SAT ON YOUR BACKSIDES AND DIDN'T GET THE FACTS AND DON'T VOTE, THEN SHUT UP FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.

I NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY THE IGNORANCE AND APATHY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. SO PATHETIC!

Adam   October 22nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

I can't believe this old drag queen is actually calling anybody a liberal!!

former gop   October 22nd, 2008 5:16 pm ET

By the way, I know hard core right-wing republicans who won't vote for McCain because they're afraid of Palin becoming president.

You can do all the robocalls you want. Even if you got Jesus himself to record a robocall, you're not going to relieve people of their fear of a Palin presidency.

Rudy is living up to his reputation as one of the nastiest people in politics. Figures they would roll him out at this stage of their desperation.

Whatever! This is a new day and the old days of "smear as the center" of a campaign is over. The American people have evolved. Get to the real issues, my cable just got cut off for goodness sake.

Stupid is as stupid does   October 22nd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Hey Gulliani,

Guess the GOP had you sling some mud since the baracuda has been trown back in the water. Guess what, people don't care when they lose their house. Let's get to what's imprtant, shall we?

gallimimus   October 22nd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Who cares what Guilani thinks, says or does. Washed up has been that is just trying to get himself a position in Washington, so he can bleed the taxpayers dry.

Red, Red WHINE!!   October 22nd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Giulliani...a man that couldn't even protect his own city! What a disgrace, to allow your population to be attacked, and then act like some kind of hero in the absolute face of your failure. Disgusting slime ball that embodies all that is wrong with america!

This is the most anti-american politician ever...after McCain, Palin, Bush and Cheney!

rok   October 22nd, 2008 5:15 pm ET

You "Tina" that made such comment. I reject your terrible comment. You must have evil mind, if 9/11 happen again you will be held responsible. Tina evil mind.

Jacob K. in Montreal   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

I have lost any respect I had for Giuliani. I don't know what has possessed him but this is not the articulate, intelligent man I admired.

BAKERSFIELD   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

i agree let all the criminals out

paul   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

This man cannot be trusted. An ever growing number of conservative pundits have spoken out against this latest ploy of the RNC. It would figure that Guilianni would be for them!

And no wonder a Republican-controlled Congress voted to make it so political phone calls would not be subject to the Do Not Call list.

Obama '08   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Using the phrase 'liberal allies' to conjur up fear does not convince me that McCain would be a President that could reach across the aisle.

NOBAMA   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

the real team of change is McCain/Palin. there are a team of outsiders and her being a women means real change. Obama broke with public financing and Biden looks like a pathetic tired old man. 2 men does not equal change. Same old washington crap. same old phony slick democrat politicians. women who are you voting for. a man who could of picked hilary clinton instead he called her little annie oakley
and picked an old man. obama is a sexist.

Giuliani, go find a job.

Allan G.   October 22nd, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Hey Dems...Looks like Obama's got it in the bag...No need to vote now . Call and tell all your friends the good news, especially you guys that registered multiple times. All there is to do now is sit at home and wait for your check.... And just think of your dumb company owner where you work, he has to work even harder to pay for it all, what a dope. Yes Sir...were well on our way to a wonderful economic recovery.

Well, if it is Giuliani speaking nobody will be able to understand a word of it, anyway.

Never heard a word from this fool regarding McCain's robocall lies!

Typical republican!

The robo calls and negative ads are totally demeaning to the intelligence of the American people and the political system. Talk about the issues!!!!!! The slimy use of the facts is a turn-off.

Has anyone mentioned that most people hang up on robocalls?

Caller ID is a beautiful thing.

Who wants to listen to some old man with a cartoon voice anyway?
Giuliani's lisp sounds like he's spitting into the phone. Gross!

John   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

I thought this hacks 15 minutes was up when the Florida folks sent him home crying. Only a Republican would lump Obama with such a distinguished group and then badmouth the group. Does the GOP really think that people are that stupid and gullible (aside from the "twenty-four percenters")?

Laidetea   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Some how Giuliani thought that he qualified to become president but he drop out after the first primary started.

Mark   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Did Obama have a short relationship with a male midgit in late 90's??? I have got to know this before I vote!!!

You can lie, You can bare false witness, you can hate, and you can lie some more. IT JUST WON'T WORK! And they know it's not working. I can feel their anger and frustration from here. It burns like fire consuming their souls.
I believe that even if Obama does not win The Great State of Texas, he will most certainly win The City Of Houston

Not very.

If Robo calls win crucial elections, why did he not use it to win the GOP nomination.

Enough of these clowns parading as leaders. Americans have better values!!!

katiec   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

If I were a republican I would be embarressed to admit it.
I know you cannot support or agree with the actions
your party is taking.
They have become so radical, so dishonorable, so
extreme with their campaigning.
No wonder our country is in such a mess. Look at the
caliber of the people who have been running it.
There is no level as to how low they will stoop.

Mary   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Does anyone even care about Guliani anymore? His only claim to fame is a national tragedy that he was foisted upon him. Every time he defends the Republican BS, I just want to puke. How anyone can defend the decisions of the McCain campaign with a straight face says more about their personal character than the sad state of the campaign itself. That's saying a lot.

President OBAMA   October 22nd, 2008 5:13 pm ET

That's all the republicans have!

Can you say President Obama?

Illinois Blue Dog   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

So Giulianni interupting people during their dinner hour with robocalls is McCain's new weapon? Isn't Giulianni the same guy who spent the entire Republican primary season in Florida and still finished 3rd in the state? Isn't Giulianni the same guy who pimped out 9/11 during his speech at the Republican convention? What a loser.
And by the way, I'm a prosecutor (just like Giulianni used to be); mandatory minimums don't work.

Steve/ Houston,TX   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Rudy the Idiot is another non-issue. GOP really knows how to waste their money. If your going to spread something, try spreading the truth!!!

Glenn in California   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Biden had the best line ever about Giuliani, the one that in every sentence he uses a noun, a verb, and 9/11.

Giuliani was great as the mayor of NYC in cleaning up the city and dealing with crime. After that, it was all downhill to the point where he's now a total joke.

Chad   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

WOW how long has it been since he held office?

GP   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Rudy, just go back to whatever it is you do.

Arkansas Undertaker   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I dont think so Mr. 9/11! Go back to New York and get back under your rock!

Peter (CA)   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Giuliani is even filthier than the rest of the McCain campaign. His smugness at the RNC showed he should not hold any public office as he thinks he is too good to deal with regular people.

Julie-Washington State   October 22nd, 2008 5:12 pm ET

I think this is so wrong in so many ways. McCain has left his campagin to be ran by the same people who crucified him in 2000, that is why before Obama was in the lead McCain said he would run a fair and honest campaign on issues.
Rudy Giulaini is an out and out liar in this respect.

Liz, St. Louis, Mo   October 22nd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Just one word 'Disgusting'. How desperate will these people get?!!!

Dave   October 22nd, 2008 5:11 pm ET

The McCain campaign is so desperate to win by any means necessary, that they can't tell they are hurting their own chances with these negative campaign tactics.

It doesn't seem so, judging by their continued attacks.

Vegas Barbie for Obama   October 22nd, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Poor Rudy, reduced to robo calling. Strong talk from a man who, while mayor of NYC, made it a crime to be homeless and had people arrested for being victims of an economy that left them on the fringes. Him doing these calls for the losing McCain campaign is a comedy of errors!

Laura   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Sorry Giuliani .. but without the title Mayor of New York ( attach to 9/11 ) you really are not that important. Go spend time with your kids, last I heard things were not that impressive.

Oh by the way ... you took millions from Mexico because you were suppose to ' bring change ' ... what happen? You got paid and NEVER return. Mexico D.F. is wondering what happen to their millions. Crime is at it's worst .....

Giuliani is like a broken record keeps repeating the yester-year mantra of judgment and experience.

geraldine   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Uh oh – prepare for the onslaught of charges of racism, negative ads, smearing, etc.

Heaven forbid someone hold Obama accountable for his legislative record. That desperate ploy is just trying to distract voters from "real" issues, like who can dance the best, give smoother speeches and get higher favorable ratings in France.

Unfortunately, robocalls (or going door-to-door, i suppose) is the only way to get any modicum of truth out there – networks, papers, this website and others like it certainly won't.

Mark   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Is it true that obama fooled around with a male midgit in the fall of 1997??? I need to know the answer to this before I vote...

jfs Memhis, Tn   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Why doesn't this former Democrat go away for awhile and get hair plugs or something done with those teeth !!! I think he turned Republican shortly after 911 ??? At anyrate he thought that he would have had a shot at the VP position in 04'. Channey fooled them all and did not have to resign for health reasons.

Lisa P   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Giuliani is creepy, no question about it. Hence his lack of success in the Republican primaries. I hope this robocall doesn't scare my cat like the last one did.

lolo   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Hey did you say that you cheat on your wife and used money, cars and other stated benefits to court her the new wife, of course you didn't, next time when you make a call, add that to the robo message, Take it from me, I 'm a liar and a cheat you can beleive me. Get real.

FN Wright   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Sam-NJ   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Guiliani makes me sick, he will do anything with no regard to morals and ethics. He is a gold digger and I am sure Mccain promised him something if he wins.

Right now we should be focused on sending a bunch of fat cats and crooked politicians to prison for all of their crimes against the American people. Getting nervous, Rudy?

Disgusted with the GOP   October 22nd, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Rudy Giuliani is on the sinking ship that is the republican party, and these nasty and viciously untrue lies they are spreading are only bringing them down faster. This will be the year America realized the Republicans true colors.

Coda   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Outside of far right conservatives, who respects Giuliani? Who would this nonsense appeal too? The GOP is officially a lame duck.

rok   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Giuliani does not have credibilty. Everything about him is ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lynn, CT   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Reforming mandatory minimum sentences does not eliminate sending someone to jail. It does, however, give judges the ability to take situations into account which are not entirely black and white and be sure the punishment fits the crime. It also allows for common sense, something the McCain campaign increasingly seems to be lacking.

Obama Supporter   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Rudy Giuliani can not blast anyone because he has his own issues.....issues that I think are more serious than the ones that he says are confronting Sen. Obama. If we had known what we know now about Rudy Giuliani, we would have had second thoughts about him becoming the Governor of New York.

maynard hopkins wi   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

GIVE THEM HELL RUDY.... ITS PAYBACK TIME !!!!

Obama Supporter from FL   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Mandatory minimums are idiotic. The major problem now is that you have mandatory minimums for a bunch of drug crimes, NOT necessarily for violent offenses.

Frankly, I think we would all be better off if judges sentenced drug dealers to shorter prison sentences so we had the space to lock up the more serious offenders.

Todd   October 22nd, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Gregory G Wied Jr   October 22nd, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I like how he's saying he wants murderers and sex offenders to walk the streets, which just isn't true. He wants to get rid of minimum sentences, which I agree with. If there's a kid who's 18 and sleeps with a girl who's say 17, should that be a 5 year sentence? I don't think so.

I wonder if it starts with, "What are you wearing? Because I'm wearing a pretty dress and candy apple lipstick."

The man likes to wear women's clothing. Dress up once – okay it's a costume. But when you're photographed multiply times in ladies clothes...I guess that makes a great republican.

Oh please, Giuliani is the worst. He was about to get kicked out of new york he was so unliked there. Then 9/11 happened. No one profited more from 9/11 than him except the bush administration. Who's the real threat to america? I think it's guys like this that delight in talking about 9/11 because they only look good when compared to a national tragedy. Shame on him attacking Obama!!! Let's put an end to this shady kind of politics for good!!!

Rudy is an idiot and he's proving once again how much of a true Republican he really is. He needs to join George Bush and get out of the way!!

Obama is unfit to lead! We will have another 9/11 attack during his watch! CNN sucks and a propraganda arm of the Obama campaign and will never beat FOX!

sandee in Portland   October 22nd, 2008 5:06 pm ET

As if I'd believe anything the biggest crook (Giuliani) would say. You'd think he'd like Obama's soft stance.

And they wonder why McCain is down in the polls.

Emery   October 22nd, 2008 5:05 pm ET

McCain, when Joe Biden kindly but firmly said "STOP THESE CALLS", he meant your blatant attempt at swaying undecided voters with your ROBOCALLS.....NOT phone calls....don't get them confused...we know you're getting to that age where Alzheimer's is a concern, but don't confuse the two.....and Giuliani needs to focus on his own agenda instead of getting tangled up with you and your corrupt, mudslinging campaign....

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008!

Georgia Gal   October 22nd, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Oh Rudy, Rudy, Rudy ... what has become of you? You are becoming nothing but a lying, deceitful Republican just like McCain. It's sad, because I used to like and have immense respect for the both of you, but not anymore.

Who's Listening To This Guy   October 22nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Boo hoo, Obama supporters are frightened.

Well, at least Barack never had a mistress, like Giuliani and his buddy McCain. Oh wait, Cindy Lou was McCain's mistress. I guess they're two peas in a pod.

Obama/Biden 08

AGAIN! Okay, I'm now seriously wondering if she can be that aloof (and i'm tryin' to be kind here)...my goodness! Whew, Nov. 4th can't get here soon enough!!!

Change is in the air...

Can someone please tell this man to go to a dentist and look about his yellow teeth!!!

Bethany in Nashville   October 22nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Another Republican robocall of un-factual crap.... imagine that.

Joe Plumber Six Pack for Obama   October 22nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

A Noun, A Verb and 9/11

Your time is up!

sandee in Portland   October 22nd, 2008 5:04 pm ET

LOL this is funny. One of the biggest crooks calling Obama soft on crime. You'd think he'd like Obama's stance.

dustin   October 22nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

I personally do not think there should be mandatory sentences for anything, why have a judge if you're taking away their ability to make a judgment?

MarylouSC   October 22nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER...Rudy and John...both CHEATERS! Rudy sent the first responders into the TRADE CENTER with sub standard radios. He should go hide somewhere.

TROOPERGATE   October 22nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

This idiot is not relevant. the crook of 9/11

jim   October 22nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Double YAWN

37-year-old First Time Voter   October 22nd, 2008 5:03 pm ET
