Is Rudy playing Bush's winning card of the last election BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID, VOTE FOR ME, OR DIE?

Question

Refresh my memory, many terrorist were in Iraq, before we went in because of weapons of mass destruction.

Gerafalo: I know Bush repeats the mantra that Saddam Hussain was linked to 911 but it was not true then and it's not true now

Answer 1

He has taken the politics of fear to a new low. He figured since it worked for Dubya it would work for him. He forgot they also tried that crap last year in the run up to the elections and it did not work.
People are no longer burying their heads in the sand and listening to the tripe. Besides he is no hero. He was just on camera a lot which helped make him appear heroic and was then known as "America's Mayor" what a crock!!!!
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 MOST of the recommendations were NOT 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
How can we continue to treat this man as a hero when firefighters were looking for their brethren and he said no and took some of the debris which contained bodies to fix holes in the streets of New York, ( I am not making this up)

Answer 2

That wasn't even his winning card. His winning card was "I'll amend the constitution to deny rights to homosexuals, and ban Mexicans from the country." Sad that so much of our country was motivated to the polls by simple hatred. So much for the party of christian conscience.

Answer 3

No, Rudy is not afraid to tell the truth. If we leave Iraq before we defeat the terrorists, they will start planning another attack on the US.

Answer 4

No he is not. He is being a realistic. It concerns me that the terrorists have vowed to destroy America and the Dems want to cut and run. Go Rudy!

Answer 5

and when Rudy's poll numbers sink like a lead zeppelin like Bush's will he find a demolished building to stand on and proclaim how tough he is?

Answer 6

Yeah..he's selling, but nobody's buying.

Answer 7

No, I haven't heard him say that at all. Have you heard him say that?
