Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez famously called the current president "the devil." He might need a more complicated nickname for Rudy Giuliani, should the former New York City mayor win the White House. Giuliani, whose law firm represents an American subsidiary of the Chavez-controlled Citgo oil company, nevertheless blasted Chavez in a speech Tuesday: "Isn’t it annoying, upsetting and even in some cases a matter of national security that we have to send money to our enemies? We need a president who knows how to get things done so we don’t have to be sending money to Chavez." So Chavez can send it to U.S. law firms, many would add.

Go Rudy! I hope he is the nomination for the GOP in 08. This guy is incredible. Serial marrying, hypocrital, flip flopping , loser. I would like to know how right wingers feel about their candidates at this point. And I am not asking about those you wish were in the race. I want to know about how you feel about the current candidates.
I think Guiliani is more experienced than the ever-so-sensitive Obama who gets deeply offended by the “a” word. Think what will happen if Obama gets on the big stage and some foreign leader hurts his feelings.
What will Osama Obama do? Go cry to the NAACP or light up a cigarette as he nervously twitches in between nicotine patches.
I see Republican’s jerk-o-meter is in full cry today.
I don;t know if I am a rightwinger, but I am a Republican, and the candidates that have presented themselves as the leader of the party Ie, Presidential nominee, is disappointing at the least.
RepublicanI think its time to change the tampon. You seem very irritable today.
Littlejohn,
You’re so not a right-winger. Trust me.
If the Republican Party were still controlled by people like you, people like me would still be Republicans.
Mike: In answer to your question, the level of competency and experience in the Republican field is far greater than the leading Dem candidates. Bill Richardson is the exception. If I was a Dem, I would be concerned. As an American, I am concerned.
Absent the current negative political environment the Republicans face, it would be no contest.
Some of us don’t waffle in our choices like others. A commitment to ideas requires steadfast decisions and sticking by them.
Drifting in the wind like a dandelion waiting for something to bump into the Democratic party of wafflers. A weed by any other name.
If Mr. Giuliani believes that “sending money to our enemies” obviously for oil purchases is a matter of national security (with which I agree), then I await breathlessly for his National Security speech where he details his plan for reductions/eliminations of petroleum imports, and how he proposes to accomplish this.
Right on cue, Republican chimes in with namecalling.
Please, Republican, let the grownups have at least one conversation that is absent your constant spew of cynical baiting.
Pondscum, wafflers, and weeds. Indeed.
Maybe Rudy and friends will join with me in advocating wind power.
But I’m not going to hold my breath.
Whose name did I call Tom? Or are you transitioning into the Democratic role of perpetual victim?
How does being utterly sick of your bs make me a victim? Are you transitioning into the Republican role of perpetual bullying?
Good grief, republican has been on a bitter tear today. I think his whole philosophy must be
STAY THE COURSE (even if it isnt working)!
Waffle must be the secret wingnut word of the day.
“the ever-so-sensitive Obama who gets deeply offended by the ‘a’ word”
Actually, it wasn’t Obama who was offended. It was us right-thinking human beings who saw it as damning with faint praise.
Kinda like: Republican isn’t really as big an idiot as everybody thinks he is.
See, I stuck up for ya, Republican.
I’m there for you, man.

As far a “Honey, can I bring my girlfriend home to live with us?” Giuliani goes, Chavez better be worried.
It wasn’t gassing Kurds or “rape rooms” that got Saddam in trouble. It was nationalizing the oil fields.
From that day on, the neo-cons had him marked for death . . .
Maybe if your wife or one of your family was in the “rape rooms” Capn, you’d have a different viewpoint.
How dare Venezuela think that the oil in their country actually belongs to them Iran and Iraq believed that nonsense in the past so we brought democracy to them. Hugo Chavez better watch out because Bush and Ms. Rudy might want to bring democracy to Venezuela.
Republican–
If my wife was put in a rape room, I’d take care of bringing justice myself . . .
I wouldn’t wait for some outside country to do it for me.
Rudy would be the best candidate us Democrats would hope for. I pray to God he wins the GOP nod!
“Maybe Rudy and friends will join with me in advocating wind power.”
Rudy eats lots of Italian food and he probably already puts out more than his share of wind power and methane gas. In fact, enough farts to heat New York City for a month!
“It wasn’t gassing Kurds or “rape rooms” that got Saddam in trouble. It was nationalizing the oil fields.”
Not only that but when he switched from US dollars to Euros, he pissed lots of people off too.

I haven’t been up to much recently, but whatever. I just don’t have much to say lately. Basically nothing happening to speak of. So it goes. My mind is like a complete blank. Such is life.

I haven’t gotten anything done lately. Not much on my mind recently. I just don’t have much to say right now. My mind is like an empty room.
My mind is like a bunch of nothing. I’ve just been letting everything wash over me lately. Oh well. Such is life.
My mind is like a fog, not that it matters. I just don’t have much to say these days. That’s how it is. I haven’t been up to anything recently.
