- in the years he was mayor of New York City, and before 9/11, he failed to fix the communication system used by NYPD and FDNY. As a result, on 9/11, people died because they were unable to contact each other with walkie talkies.
-Giuliani signed an agreement that used rubble and waste from Ground Zero to be made into pothole to fill the streets of the city. As a result, bone fragments from 9/11 victims were used to fill those potholes.
-Giuliani had a public adulterous affair while he was married to wife #2. He announced his intention to divorce to wife #2 at a press conference.
-Giuliani is using fear to gain votes. Keith Olbermann took him to task in a recent Special Comment on MSNBC. Here are some excerpts from that Special Comment that respond to Giuliani's assertion that a Democratic President would bring disaster:
....Which party held the presidency on Sept. 11, 2001, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party held the mayoralty of New York on that date, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party assured New Yorkers that the air was safe and the remains of the dead recovered and not being used to fill potholes, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party wanted what the terrorists wanted — the postponement of elections — and to whose personal advantage would that have redounded, Mr. Giuliani?
Which mayor of New York was elected eight months after the first attack on the World Trade Center, yet did not emphasize counter-terror in the same city for the next eight years, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party had proposed to turn over the Department of Homeland Security to Bernard Kerik, Mr. Giuliani?
Who wanted to ignore and hide Kerik’s organized crime allegations, Mr. Giuliani?
Who personally argued to the White House that Kerik need not be vetted, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party rode roughshod over Americans’ rights while braying that it was actually protecting them, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party took this country into the most utterly backwards, utterly counterproductive, utterly ruinous war in our history, Mr. Giuliani?
Which party has been in office as more Americans were killed in the pointless fields of Iraq than were killed in the consuming nightmare of 9/11, Mr. Giuliani?
Drop this argument, sir.
You will lose it....
(Thank you, Keith, for saying exactly what we've all thought.)
Giuliani has no foreign diplomatic experience. Does it matter? Yes. Bush had no foreign diplomatic experience and look where it got us! We don't need a President Rudy and First Lady Judi (promoted killing dogs for company sales demonstrations: 1)
