Time to write off Giuliani? Police murders in NYC show he did not change the culture so much as hide.?

Question

The 911 leader was in the right place to appear as head of the mob, but missed his chance to urge balance and fairness...again.

Rudy flunked another test when he stays silent on the latest NYPD murder.

Answer 1

Juliani is still the best chance for the republican party to win the president as of yet.

I think the country is at a place right now where we are electing the more popular name rather than actually looking at the candidate.

Bush beats Gore

Bush gets low approval ratings

Who the hell is Kerry?

Bush beats Kerry

Now we're looking at Clinton for the democrats

I don't think senator Mccain has the celebrity, he won't beat out Hillary, Juilani is the republicans only chance.

I know it's sad... but you know it's true. This election is going to be a poularity contest.

i mean cmon
We live in a country where Arnold Shwarzeneiger became governor of California.

Answer 2

No that is not fair. I am no fan of Giuliani but he is not in charge and has not been since 2002.
The current culture is set by the present mayor, Mr. Michael Bloomberg.
Blaming Giuliani is like blaming Richard Nixon for the Iraq war
He should be written off for the following:

When there had been the first bombing of the WTC in 1993, recommendations had been made to him on how to improve security, response by first responders etc. At the time of the second bombing and ultimate destruction of the twin towers NOT ONE of the recommendations had been implemented, yet he was heralded as this great mayor. People do your homework, don't believe the hype.
Also listen to how he treated the fire fighters after 9/11, especially from the President of the International Association of Fire Fighters.
People have that memorable image-Rudy among the ruins- this hides a multitude of sins: in the event of a terrorist attack, Giuliani should have been directing police, fire and emergency services from the city's high-tech underground emergency management center; unfortunately, Giuliani had insisted that that secure center be located at the World Trade Center along with a diesel fuel truck which was against the advise of FDNY.
During the attacks, because the command center was rendered inoperable, NYC had no clear chain of command and no physical command structure in place to coordinate the emergency response. Frankly, the whole reason Giuliani was on television all day and available for interviews was because he was scrambling around the streets trying to set up a command post since the one he had designed and located was paralyzed during the attacks.
Political infighting between police and fire departments went unchecked, preventing coordination between first responders, and Giuliani's rush to return New York to business as usual (fearing that Wall Street might relocate) may have seriously impaired the health of returning workers and residents

Answer 3

Ya know? I like Rudy - and I'm a democrat. I wouldn't vote for him, understand, but I think he would make a pretty good president. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton already is filling that bill.

I don't think the Republicans will let Rudy run...he has too much baggage. You know how the Republicans are always messing around in somebodys bedroom - snooping into who is doing what to whom and when - and in what manner. Rudy doesn't pass the "family values" smell test the hypocritical Republicans put forth.

Answer 4

Your statements and comments are absurd. Mr. Giuliani has not been mayor for four years. He should stay silent on alleged criminal acts.
We have a judicial system in the US. If crimes were committed, it is up to the District Attorney to prove it in court.
Your kind of comments come up every time a white police officer shoots a black person.
Talk about prejudice. Yours is showing.

Answer 5

I have a hard time believing that the right-wingers will vote for him. He is more socially liberal than Senator Clinton.

At least Senator Clinton never suggested that the taxpayers should foot the bill for all abortions.

Answer 6

You shouldn't be questioning anyones ability to be balanced or fair.

Answer 7

HUH?

I'm still searching for someone more conservative (and I'm not talking about gay marriage or abortion.)

However, your question makes no sense to me. NY crime cannot be 'fixed' by a single Mayor.
