Rudy Giuliani is ambitious, if nothing else. Consider his "12 Commitments to the American People." His generally stated commitments include eliminating illegal immigration, developing a better health care system, ensuring every community is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters and, amid all these promises, tax cuts. And instead of Giuliani saying he would continue the war on terrorism, he promised to keep America on offense in the "Terrorists’ War on Us." What isn’t evident is how he would follow through with his commitments.

Rudy and his cross-dressing lispy self is a joke. If he becomes president, I will know forever that Gore and Kerry had the votes stolen from them.
but then again we already know that.
Rudy is on his 3rd wife and found each new wife while still married to the other..
there are some real family value morals for ya
Any time you see a post by Ed Friedemann, you know it must contain anti-semetic remarks.
Ed, why do you hate Jewish people so much?
Won’t see many posts here dealing with the content or substance of the 12 commitments promised by Rudy. You will see many irrational, hateful, and stupid remarks.
It is an open forum afterall, and a window into America – evidence of the dumbing down of the American people. How stupid have the people of this country become?
Take one of Rudy’s promises for example and tell me why you oppose this point of view:
“I will lead America towards energy independence.”
Yes, energy independence – that’s a bad thing?
Well Ed, at least you are honest about your true colors of hating the Jewish people.
Now Ed, any evidence to support your outrageous assertions?
Or maybe you can just list all of the groups of people here that you hate, so that we know who you will be killing next?
HATE is alive and well in America.

Of course not, it’s a great thing. But.
Leaving aside the fact that Rudy is as about as personally attractive as Richard Nixon (maybe less so what with the wife problem), it’s really easy to dismiss him as a serious candidate for president.
Why?1) Rudy is a modern, post-Bush Republican. In other words, he’s all about big government and ways to make it even bigger.2) Like all modern Republicans, he doesn’t want to pay for the expansion, either. He’s happy as a clam to kick the debt down to future generations.
Pretty easy to see that Rudy as POTUS would be a New Yawk do-over of Augustus Stupidus, just another 4 years of Bush policies. If we elect Rudy then in effect there would be no change in the Executive branch.
That’s probably his attraction in the GOP, too. Rudy’d be like Bush, only with brains.
Pendant, is that all you have is to criticize Rudy’s appearance? (If ‘looks’ was a valid criterion, you will vote for Hillary?)
1 & 2. Rudy is for fiscal responsibility, not big government. Your statements are false, inflamatory, and intentionally misleading.
Read his petition, Max. Every damn sentence represents a new government program.
I don’t think it’s false to state that a call for new government programs is a call for bigger government. I guess his promise to be fiscally responsible has got you suckered in, though.
There ain’t enough lipstick in all of the Big Apple for that pig, imo.
Max —
The problem I have with Rudy and energy independence is we have been told the same thing since at least the Carter years —- and we are more foreign oil dependent than ever — How is he going to be different? If he’s in the pocket of big oil — nothing will happen
Ken
“Big Oil” has no problem with energy independence.
When the telephone began to take over from the telegraph, did “big telegraph” get in the way?
When the train and the automobile began to dominate transportation, did “big buggy whip” get in the way?
Show Exxon/Mobile or any large corporation a profitable energy alternative, and that “big oil” company will, itself, develop and distribute that idea.
Look what “Big Oil” is doing with ethanol and bio fuels. (Not always a good thing, but still, it proves that “Big Oil” will be part of the solution, when a solution is found.)
“Big Oil” is a nut job code word conspiracy kooks use, especially socialist kooks.
We are all supposed to hate “big oil” and therefore, we sould LOVE anyone who fights “Big Oil” —
They forget to tell you that most oil company stock is held by retirement plans and charities.
They forget to tell you that oil company profits are taxed to the corporation, then taxed again when dividends are paid.
They forget to tell you that oil company employees pay taxes too.
It is hard to “outsource” domestic energy production to foreign governments.
Unless you hate “Big Oil” — then you just dont let American companies drill.
Ridiculous!
Can’t disagree with anything you say Max — the issue was energy independence, little to nothing has been done in 30-40 years by either our government or the oil industry to promote the idea. Why? – our auto fuel efficiencies ratings have crept up but the government, oil and car manufacturing could have done much better, no leader / president in 30 years has done much to actually create a program / environment to achieve energy independence …..
Again — How will Rudy be any different?
Sorry Max that should have been directed to Econ –
“Show Exxon/Mobile or any large corporation a profitable energy alternative, and that “big oil” company will, itself, develop and distribute that idea.”
Shouldn’t they be looking for energy alternatives? Who has to show them?
Again How will Rudy be any different than his predecessors?
Ed wrote: “Your favorite person must be Charlie Manson, a better man than most any Jew.”
Another white sheeted, nazi uniformed baiter, joins WE blog!
Just goes to prove some of us are really sicker than others.
Back to answering this thread’s orgingal question:
Rudy will treat his new commitments pretty much the same way he treated his commitments at the altar with his first wife. No, I mean, with the *second* wife. No no… I mean with his third wife.
What isn’t evident is how he would follow through with his commitments.
Probably the same way he has followed through on his marriage commitments.
Blow it out your fleetwood, Ed.
Wow, quite the interesting cast of charchters here! I have been going through the archives and I almost couldn’t belive it… anti zionists, zionists, nazis, clairvoyants,plain nutcases…….just wow!
And what are you, Sarge?
Damn, your anti-semitism is comic book ridiculous, Ed. What happened to you, couldn’t get it up for a Jewish hooker?
How did Rudy Guiliani keep his commitment to his first wife? How did his keep his commitment to his kids who won’t even speak to him?
The personal life of the man tells the truth of character. Rudy is just another Republican that wants to live like the devil but carries the cross of Jesus to get those votes. What a hypocrit candidate for a hypocrit party.
So, I wonder if Republican is still faking a disability so that he can collect welfare benefits?
Sigh…. Ed opined: “And JMD, I’ve been on this blog right from the start. You AIPAC Zionist-crap just started showing-up with your lying ass Jew shit.”
Yawn.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Get a life Ed.
A: Shame you can’t read. I didn’t say anything one way or another about the Jewish people. Not here, nor on any other post I’ve made to this blog.
B:You don’t have any idea how long I’ve been around here. I have many email addresses, all legit, that I use as the mood suits me.
JFYI Ed, my people have been around here way than you or yours.
It must be really suck to you.
My mother is dead, Ed, so it doesn’t surprise me that you would try to score with ashes.
Ed really needs to get laid though. He must get tired of just f**king himself.
Giuliani is unelectable, because if the Republican Party nominated him for President, the pro-life conservative base would stay home on election day or vote for a third-party pro-life candidate. A lose-lose situation.
Maybe not, parkay . . . there are lots of moderate republican(yes we are out there!) and democrats that are tired of the far left wing of the party, that just might consider Giuliani a viable candidate.
I’m still fence sitting right now, but just may have to jump across party lines if we end up with someone in anyway similar to Brownback.
I feel like I entered the Twilight Zone. Where are you guys getting your latest quotes from Ed?
TDT
“I feel like I entered the Twilight Zone. Where are you guys getting your latest quotes from Ed?”
The Jews have enough pull to have my posts deleted and leave their name-calling showing.
There nothing quite a one sided comment. Typical Jew trick, that’s how they get out their big lie and make laws against any rebuttal.
Oh, excuse me, it’s not rebuttal, it’s anti-Semitic.
TDT, all quotes from Ed must have been pulled sometime this afternoon.
Still sucks to be you, don’t it Ed?
“Still sucks to be you, don’t it Ed? ”
Not at all. But the world thinks that you suck, and has for thousands of years.
Sounds to me as it really sucks to be you.
Finally, Ed’s post were removed. It’s too bad this can’t remain an open uncensored forum, but given what Ed posted, who can blame the Eagle for doing the right thing.
It is the WE Blog afterall, and they have the right to do what they want on their own blog.
WS Clark, you may be next. If you want an open forum, I suggest you get some control or you’ll wind up like Ed.
Take your best shot, Max, better men than you have tried to get me banned – it hasn’t worked yet.
Loser.
I couldn’t care less Clark if you are banned or not.
It would be a shame if the Eagle had to step in and censor every post, throw some out, edit others, let others go thru. Then this whole forum would die, and maybe that’s what you want.
There are other blogs for sure, but this format – maybe we might even agree on something, is better than most others.
You are obviously a bright guy Clark, though usually I disagree with you. Sometimes you flash some brilliance, but usually, you just throw flames.
And the flames are what kills many a blog.
When they came after you, I did nothing, then they came after me and there was no was left to come to my aid.
Congress shall make no law……
Funny Ed, for you to write about defending anyone’s freedom – just like you defend the freedom of the Jews.
And you still have your 1st Amendment and other rights Ed. You can still march with the Nazi’s in Ciscero.
When posting on a blog site, however, the owner of the blog site has complete control over what is or is not posted on the site.
If someone continuously writes hateful, threatening, libelous, statements – the owner of the website is not only likely to remove the posts, they may even have a LEGAL OBLIGATION to do so. Or, they could be named as co-defendent in a libel suit.
Think about that, next time you want to spew hate and throw flames around. With your thousands of posts on this blog, you obviously would miss it, if you were banned completely, or if they shut the web site down.
I feel sorry for you Ed. Someone so full of hate as you, will just rot from the inside out. But, there’s always hope, that even you might see the light some day.
