Could Guiliani wind up being as bad and dangerous a president as George W. Bush?

Question

In my opinion, he's just as ignorant, just as irrational, and even more prone to violence than Bush.

Answer 1

Given the sheer crassness that characterizes all of the corporate candidates in both of the corporate parties, Democratic and Republican, any of one of them could turn out just as bad, ignorant, and flat-out evil as His Imperial Majesty.

There is a lot that is troubling about Guiliani. But, at least when one considers only Republicans, Guiliani may be the lesser of many evils. He's campaigning on a hard-line that appeals to the lunatic fringe of the right, but, if history is any guide, he may actually be more moderate in terms of day to day politics. In other words, Guiliani may be the kinder, gentler face of corporate fascism.

Nonetheless, neither of the parties have succeeded in actually offering the public real choices with candidates that have real differences. They're all wealthy elites looking to get rich by using free market capitalism to exploit the middle and lower classes.

Answer 2

Well, i feel he was a good president who got alot of bad press. He also had more difficult situations to deal with then most presidents. He gave the women of Afghanistan freedom and put the terrorists and horrible Taliban in check. We need to stop as a country blaming the President for the mishaps of the government we put in place... The movie Fahrenheit 9-11 is a complete bashing of our country and most people look at that as 100% truth. Like I've said before, alot of people didn't like Reagan especially here in Pittsburgh but now he is looked at as a great President. Same with Clinton. I'm sorry but i feel that the world would still be in the same situation if someone else were President. We had faulty intell on Iraq. And any president who was handed this intell would have done the same thing. We have our government to blame for that not our President. Dont forget Clinton bombed Iraq almost on a weekly basis while he was in office...

Answer 3

Giuliani, if elected will be the president of 9/11, and not president of 9/12, according to Thomas Friedman. The Us need a president of 9/12. this means that there needs to be a president who will take us forward and meet the challenges that can give us opportunity.

He is representing the staus quo, the continuation of the same foreign, economic policy. I hope he will swallow his defeat in the 08 electrion

Answer 4

Worse. His foreign policy advisers, in the words of Pat Buchanan, "make the Vulcans of Bush look like Howard Zinn and Ramsey Clark."

Answer 5

(1) He is just as bad, if not worst. Yet, many people will vote for him. (2) Do you approve of outright killing and murder? (3) Would the American people go along with this?

During World War II, Hitler killed 6 million Jews, God's people. Germans are Catholic (Christians) shouldn't they have know better? And how, then, did a maniacal Hitler come to power? How about George W. Bush? And the same goes for Rudy Giuliani. Hillary Clinton, though, labeled a Democrat is no different from these two.

Obama is green and HAS little or no integrity, when you challenge him, he falls down as it has been proven. Robertson, Kucinish, and Ron Paul seem to be a little crazy to many people. When you hear them speak, they seem like nutcases trying to do away with health care, social security, and the Internal Revenue Service.

What Kucinich is doing by trying to have Cheney impeached is a good move on his part. Ron Paul though being a far-fetched libertarian, is right on the Iraq War (best candidate). Obama had the right approach, but he had foregone it, as he thought that he would be losing votes. He won't get elected anyway, so why not stick with a strong stand on the Iraq War?

Ron Paul, in spite of having very radical libertarian views, many of which will hurt this nation, is very qualified to be President as he has the education and background experience.

There are many others, who could step up to the plate, but they don't have the money to do so.

The Iraq War could have ended in 1990, but many people closed their eyes to truth and reality, so your troops are killing people, innocent people, fighting for their freedoms and land.

If the anti-war groups tried to mount an attack (media campaign) on the White House, they will fail. They were infiltrated by government spies and Bush people and have been led astray long ago.

Is there any hope?

Giuliani will use force to get his way in the world. Injustices will prevail, but Americans don't seem to care. People will be shut down and NOT allowed to speak.

FALSEHOODS:
I am voting for Giuliani, because he has the balls to stand up to terrorist! WRONG! Giuliani will be save at home and our troops will be at risk. People become terrorist, because of what we have done to them. Killed their people, friends and family, so killing as Rudy will be doing IS NOT the answer!

I am voting for Rudy, because he is keeping our nation safe! WRONG! By employing force and murdering people under the color of law (fraud), he, like Bush, is making our world a more dangerous place in which to live!

Westhill: A vote for Rudy is a vote for injustice and the rising of the nation of Magog and an escalation of war. It will hit America too late, when people are not watching and when they can least defend it.

"We're all going to die, so I might as well vote for Rudy and my party (my company is tied in with the Republican money machine) and accept a biblical Armageddon! I believe in America and in the Republican Party. I am in favor of squelching the opposition as they are nothing but noisy troublemakers!"

Can you Yahoo! Answers posters, both Democrat and Republican see where this nation is going?

Answer 6

no, unlike Hitlery he wasn't anointed at the Bilderberg conference-- so he's only a fall guy. Hilterly will be every bit as much a servant of the NWO though as the Bonesman himself though or else she won't be there.

you really need to get over the bogus right-left paradigm you know. they're ALL quislings.

Answer 7

It's really a sad commentary that we have put up with such a bad president that after him, even Giuliani can be taken seriously. We're really dropping our standards quickly Next we'll get honest and elect hookers into the Oval Office.

Answer 8

Well he did say that because he was there during the attack on 9-11 that made him an "expert on terrorism " I wouldn't worry too much , to republicans most likely wont vote for a cross dresser,,A liar yes,,A war criminal ,yes,,,An alcoholic ,yes,,,, But a cross dresser NO WAY!!!

Answer 9

Possibly, but not likely as bad and dangerous as Al Gore or John, the gigolo, Kerry would have been, and certainly no where near as bad and dangerous as Hillary could be.

Answer 10

Just as bad if not worse. Giuliani is just another neo-con who surrounds himself with cronies but whats worse is his mob connections. Why would anybody vote for a man who's own kids hate him.
