If everybody who runs for president now must face his own Swift-Boating — heaven forbid — Rudy Giuliani’s surely will come from New York City firefighters and families of Sept. 11 victims. They have a new 13-minute video criticizing the former New York City mayor’s handling of the terrorist attacks, the heart of his campaign. "He’s running on his 9/11 leadership and it was lacking — and there was none," says Jim Riches, a deputy fire chief and a father of a Sept. 11 victim, on the video. Giuliani’s campaign is trying to counter the charges with flattering Sept. 11-related testimony from others.

He’s toast, like bush, 9/11 is all he had.
“Swift-boating” implies a campaign of lies and discredited accusations. The campaign by the firefighters is anything but.
Giuliani’s treatment of the firefighters is well-known: he stiffed them repeatedly, sent them to do after having under-equipped them, and then took credit for their heroism after the fact.
Giuliani is the perfect Republican candidate: he’s a serial liar who feels creepily comfortable in women’s clothing.
The character of a man can be found in what his family says about him. And we all know what his ex-wife says about him (which is understandable) but his kids have come out and stated their feelings about the man. The kids won’t even campaign for the guy. If your kids hate you, then you must be one sorry piece of work.
Yup.
After Giuliani recovered the gold and precious metals, then it was bulldozer time.
Forget about the remains of fallen firefighters.
THis is ANOTHER LEFTWING BS STORY, and the editors of WE need to start being flogged for their stupidity and lack of professional competence.
A little research would show this 13 minute video is produced by the “Uniformed Firefighters Union”, which the director is the New York State director of the Hillary CLinton Campaign.
YOU GUYS NEED TO START CHECKING YOUR FACTS!
Any person with a computer can look on the blogs and searvch the internet and find out the facts.
When editors and journalists do not check facts, they are then “Propagandists”! Another cog in the “spin machine”. Are you guys trying to “inform” su or “change our minds”? What is YOUR agenda? Certianly the truth and facts unvarnished are not in that agenda. This story is evedence of that,…
or you are just damn lazy and not very good at journalism!
Please STOP printing stories off of either the left wingers sites or the right winger sites.
PLEASE Stop thinking that we are a stupid as YOU believe we are. We are much more more intelligent than that.
HYPOCRACY
For Israel, Rudy Giuliani is the number 1 favorite for the Republican Party nominee for President and Hillary Clinton is the favorite for the Democratic nominee for President.
If elected neither one would put American interests before those of Israel, as each has been given the green light from AIPAC.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who would be completely loyal to the People of the United States and by the looks of his growing campaign chest, the People know it.
That said, it will still be an uphill battle to take our country back, as the crap in congress must also be flushed.
Bush and Israel may use India to attack Iran. Rice made a trip to India and gave the OK to increase their number of warheads.
{ the current hoopla about Pakistan having al-Qaida right next door is to cover an Atomic attack }.
“Report: India, Israel to jointly develop $2.47b. missile systemBy Haaretz ServiceIndia and Israel will jointly develop a new generation of medium-range surface-to-air missiles in a $2.47 billion project that India hopes will secure its strategic assets, Indian newspapers reported this week.
India’s Cabinet Committee on Security approved the joint venture Thursday, according to Indian newspaper The Economic Times.
In an article Friday, The Times of India called the project “yet another indicator that Indo-Israeli strategic ties are zooming full-steam ahead, with India buying Israeli military equipment worth a whopping $1.6 billion just in 2006 alone.”

The Brits send a subtle message: “From Times OnlineJuly 13, 2007″
“Destructive power is no measure of a country’s might, Britain tells USTom Baldwin in WashingtonGordon Brown’s Government took another tentative step to distance itself from President Bush yesterday, as one of the Prime Minister’s chief lieutenants delivered a series of coded criticisms of American foreign policy.
Douglas Alexander, the International Development Secretary, used a speech in Washington last night to rebuke what many in Labour’s ranks regard as Mr Bush’s unilateralist and high-handed approach. Mr Alexander said that a country’s might was “too often measured in what \ could destroy” and that “in the 21st century, strength should be measured by what we can build together”.
In an appeal for greater use of reformed multilateralist institutions such as the United Nations and the World Bank, he said: “Just as we need the rule of law at home to have civilisation, so we need rules abroad to ensure global civilisation.”
Much of Mr Alexander’s speech, the first made abroad by a Cabinet member since Tony Blair’s departure, was devoted to expressing admiration for the US. “There are few global challenges that do not require the active engagement of the United States,” he said, before calling on it to adopt new policies, alliances and priorities that “do not just protect us from the world — but reach out to the world.”

No, he had Union foes because he spanked them and sent them to bed like he should.
Firefighters wrong ..again..They got the wrong mayor…he was not mayor during the 1st World Trade Center bombing….and 86% of their money goes to Hilary…soooo guess what…they are just a Dem front group…as are all Unions.

Mrbill,
Giuliani was mayor for 8 years, 1994 to 2002. In those 8 years, he didn’t fix the broken, ineffective emergency responder communications system. He didn’t take the lessons from the 93 bombing seriously, and didn’t fix the things the responders knew needed fixing. It’s a fair charge to make.
