straigt from the horses mouth. Giuliani doesn't think NH is important

2 towers came down (over 3,000 dead) , 5 people murdered in the past years on my block, rent is unaffordable, $2,500 for q 400Sq ft apartment... to buy a apartment???...good luck! times square has become Disney world...city has lost its edge and creativity,mom and pop store going out of business to corporations like starbucks/dwane reads home depot...yeah rudy...you sure did good! NOT

Workfare was a punitive sham used to undermine the unions, and drive down the quality of life for everyone. But it's typical Giuliani.

This is the guy who emtied the homeless shelters on the coldest night of the year in 2000. He basically made being poor a crime. If America elects him, we can expect a well-oiled police state.

by the way...i like the old New York B E F O R E rudy became mayor!

It's a little bit funny that Guiliani didn't mention his questionable means of achieving such order, such as his racial profiling program. That said, it's an effective ad that targets law-and-order Repuglicans. If "conservative" is defined as governing like the Godfather, GOP primary voters will be tickled pink with Guiliani.

hey rudy....try living in nyc on 50K

If Rudy was such a saint,then why did the U.S. Military give more money to Ron Paul than all others, combined?

Ask the NYC Fire Dept what they think of Ghouliani.

I've voted dem for years, based mostly on disapproval of GOP candidates and more recently because of the horrible things the Bushes have perpetrated. Giuliani is no better. From what I've read, he has nothing to offer in the way of principled leadership, no good ideas or moral strength. Please read up on Ron Paul...I never thought I would support a republican, but with the state of the nation and world, it's probably the best choice.

I heard that Rudy (or his supporters maybe) just starting airing this other ad in Iowa that attacks Hillary Clinton on the drivers license/immigration issue and ties her to Elliot Spitzer. I guess it's Rudy's slightly saner response to Tancredo's immigration/terrorism ad:

On 3 occasions in responding to accusations that the city failed to adequately protect the health of wrokers in the wreckage of 9-11 Rudy boasted that he faced comparable risks himself. He boasted that he had been in the ruins " as often , if not more" than the cleanup workers who logged hundreds of hours in the smoldering pile. Again at another time he brushed aside safety claims by asserting that his long hours at the site had left him susceptible to " every health consequence that people have suffered". No complete record of Giuliani's exposure to the site is available for the 6 days after the attack when he was a frequent visitor. But an account from his mayoral archive, revised after the events does exist for the period of Sept. 17 to Dec. 16 2001 and shows he was there for a total of 29 hours in those 3 months , often for short periods or to visit locations next to the rubble. In that same period many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12 hour shifts. many members logged 30 hours in the first 2 days after the attacks, and most averaged more than 400 hours at ground zero and in the debris pile at the Staten Island landfill. They are among thousands who claim long -term health damage from the exposure. In his jumping off point for the Republican candidacy , these among other claims of his have become the main thrust that he constantly reminds voters in his speeches and in the debates . To sum up, the 29 hours that Giuliani spent at ground zero involved 41 appearances, mostly to give tours to other officials and foreign dignitaries, and include meetings away from the site before the tour. As the schedule included 30 minutes on Nov. 15, 2001, for Vladimir Putin of Russia, but Putin's tour of ground zero was widely reported to have lasted 13 minutes. These certainly are among the many reasons that have lead to animosity felt by those who really spent time and effort at ground zero for search and rescue after 9-11.
