Giuliani's Spot in the Sunshine, Granite States
Rudy Giuliani's campaign is launching a new TV ad in Florida and New Hampshire. The ad starts with Hizzoner recalling a book he read by Tom Brokaw that, he says, touched on the "brave and persistent and courageous" Americans who fought in World War II (he's talking about Brokaw's book, The Greatest Generation).
The ad shows black and white photos of World War II soldiers and compares the legendary image of U.S. Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the flag on Iwo Jima to firefighters hoisting a flag over Ground Zero, saying, "During the day of September 11 -- living through the things that I saw and observed -- immediately, when I saw people helping each other and I saw the picture of the firefighters putting the flag up, I said 'these are the children, the grandchildren and the great grandchildren of the greatest generation.'"
No matter what sort of challenge America faces, Giuliani says, "there's no country that stands up stronger and better than the United States of America." He adds: "Islamic terrorists would make a terrible mistake if they confuse our democracy for weakness. Our democracy means we disagree with each other, but when ... you try and come here and kill our people... we're one and we're going to stand up to you and we're going to prevail."

Giuliani is a one trick pony (and the trick is a real piece of crap). He should be reminded that he was the mayor of NY that day. The best that can be said of his performance is that he was there and his best effort did not prevent what transpired.
Too bad he located his response office at the WTC; and never got around to fixing the radio problems. Too bad about Bernard!
It's interesting that Rudy went home sick with a headache the day the NY Times eviscerated him over his association with Bernard and his coyness about his "business partners" and other venture that have netted him gobs of guv'ment money through so called consulting contracts since 9/11.
He does not have skeletons in the closet. He has skeletons stored in vast warehouses
I'd say Rudy is a rally bad bet from the pitiful Republican field.

Giuliani favors school choice, a winner among Democrat and Independent voters, and he will also help low income families by enforcing old and new illegal immigration law, so that honest legal workers will not have to compete against illegal alien workers who are hired by unscrupulous employers, sapping our social services and legal system all the while, see http://www.UsIllegalAliens.com for some very interesting statistcs stemming from the massive, virutally unchecked, flow of illegals into our country.
Romney, McCain, and Huckabee, are comparatively very weak on these important issues to the American electorate, so a vote for anybody except Giuliani is really a vote for a weak Republican prospective nominee, who would be lunch-meat for the Hillary machine, so I hope the Republican primary voters take this all to heart, to vote for the man who can trounce Hillary, that's Rudy Giuliani.

I hear that after 1913 it only took the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK 20 years to bankrupt the UNITED STATES Republic, and the Euro Fiat currency will bankrupt the European nations faster.
Spain, Germany and France are going broke!
In November of 1910, after having consulted with Rothschild banks in England, France, and Germany. Senator Nelson Aldrich boarded a private train in Hoboken, New Jersey. His destination was Jekyll Island, Georgia, and a private hunting club owned by J.P Morgan.
Aboard the train were six other men: Benjamin Strong, President of Morgan's BAnkers Trust Company; Charles Norton, President of Morgan's First National Bank of New York; Henry Davidson, senoir partner of J.P Morgan; Frank Vanderlip, President of Kuhn Loeb's National City Bank of New York, A. Platt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of Treasury; and Paul Warburg
The devious planners of the revised bill titled it "Federal Reserve Act" to mask its real nature. It would create a system crontrolled by private individuals who would control the nation's issue of money. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board, composed of twelve districts and one director (The Federal Reserve Chairman) would control the nation's financial resources by controlling the money supply and available credit, all by mortgaging the government through borrowing.
Frank Vanderlip
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States. In the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
President Woodrow Wilson, September 4, 1912

Gosh, it seems like Hizzoner is a really, really long shot. It's good to know he was around on September 11th. I wonder if this dark horse will consider running as a third party candidate?
