Giuliani Impersonates Hillary, Says Bill Clinton Had Head in the Sand

ABC News’ Jan Simmonds reports:  With an Elvis impersonator crooning just two floors below him, Rudy Giuliani, R-N.Y., took aim on Friday at both Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Speaking at a town hall in Berlin, New Hampshire, Giuliani first set his sights on Hillary Clinton and used humor to answer a question about Clinton’s much analyzed debate response on whether she supported a plan to grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens in New York state.

"Oh gee I can’t figure out what to think," said Giuliani satirizing Clinton.

"Don’t pick on me by asking that question. That’s a gotcha question. Do not pick on me for asking that question.  Now let me see what I think…. Let me see… First put up your hands and tell me what you think.  Then I’ll tell you what I think. Are you for it or against it?  Ok, you’re not gonna tell me.  So I’m for it, for it.  I am against it.  I’m for it and against it.  And I wanna be your president."

After having his fun, the former New York City Mayor got serious.

"Okay, all kidding aside, I am against it," he said. "It’s a terrible mistake. You don’t give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants."

Giuliani did acknowledge that he at least could respect Barack Obama, D-Ill., who said he supported the license plan.

"I at least respect somebody who answers the question and I watched that debate the other night and Hillary Clinton could not answer the question," Giuliani said.  "It was like double talk.  This and this and this."

"If you can’t take a position on driver’s licenses, what the heck are you gonna do about war and peace, and difficult decisions in crisis?" he added returning his attention to the Democratic frontrunner.

Giuliani was not done with the Clintons though.  Next to draw the former mayor’s ire was the former president, Bill Clinton, whom Giuliani took umbrage with over how he cut the military and intelligence agencies’ budgets while he was in the White House.

"What Bill Clinton did to you in the 1990′s most Americans don’t even know.  They don’t even know the worst thing that he did," said Giuliani.

"The worst thing that he did was not any of the stuff that got all the attention and sometimes exaggeration and who knows what.  The worst thing he did was to cut our military and intelligence budgets. That is the worst thing he did."

Noting that Clinton "slashed" both the agencies’ budgets, Giuliani charged that the former president had his "head in the sand."

"And now as I said, I don’t pretend that he (Clinton) could predict September the 11th.  People are not prophets, even presidents," said Giuliani.  "But he did have his head in the sand.  He was cutting those military budgets and intelligence budgets while Islamic terrorists were killing Americans."

"Over 500 before September 11th.  The first attack on America was not September 11th, it was 1993.  And then Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and then Kenya, and then Tanzania, and then the attack on the USS Cole, to which we didn’t even respond.  So let’s not go back to that."

Ending his Clinton focus, Giuliani noted, "Hillary Clinton really wants to take you in reverse to the 1990′s. She thought things were wonderful in the 1990′s and there was only one thing missing in the 1990′s and it was the socialized medicine she couldn’t do for us.  So now she wants to take us back to the 1990′s and give us the socialized medicine too.  Let’s not let her do that."

Rudy Gulliani is an idiot. He’s done NOTHING to deserve a presidency aside from the fact that he “happened” to be mayor of a large city during a crisis. . His family can’t even stand him. If he’s the best the GOP can put forth this election, then we’ll certainly have a democratic president in 2008.

So far I have not been impressed by the top tier candidates based on polls, because on the key issues of the day, I find their proposed policies mediocre in thinking and shallow along party politics. They are what I call Neisen Rating candidates. Now they have gone into a phase where they are attacking one another in order to obfuscate.

Things people should know about Rudolph Giuliani: A Spanish company, Cintra-Zachry, is already building the North American SuperCorridor highway through the middle of our country, and they’re going to get the tolls. Rodolph Giuliani’s law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani represents that Spanish company. Another Giuliani business, Giuliani Capitol Advisors was once a partner of Cintra-Zachry, and actually owned the rights to collect tolls from the Indiana and Chicago sections of the SuperCorridor before Giuliani sold that interest recently to an Australian company called Macquarie. Bracewell & Giuliani represents some of the biggest multi-national oil, utility infrastructure and financial corporations both in the U.S. and abroad. With that have come the connections that Giuliani has been able to tap into for campaign donations, essential for his Presidential bid, not only in Texas but nationwide, as he has become the consummate NWO globalist. Particularly unnerving, given Giuliani’s personal experience on 9/11, is his defense of open borders at any cost while condoning the NAFTA Superhighway Corridor and by extension the North American Union, without the consent of the U.S. Congress or the will of the American people. We should have seen it coming when Mayor Giuliani enacted Special Order 40 in 1994, ordering NYC law enforcement officers to stop checking the immigration status of suspects caught violating the Law. Vote for a REAL AMERICAN. Vote for Ron Paul.

This Thompson supporter agrees with Giuliani. There’s plenty to mock where the Clinton’s are concerned.

What a joke, honestly! There’s NO REAL DIFFERENCE between Giuliani and the Clintons — one look at their respective records on policy and the issues will more than adequately corroborate that fact! Hillary, shut up and go away! And Rudy, try ONCE uttering even the BRIEFEST sentence without the words “nine” and “eleven” in it!

Giulani can’t even be a good father, disowned by both his adult son and daughter, Now just how would he be a good president ? He’s vowed at least not to part with his wife in front of God, his priest who married him, and his wife. He broke those Vows at least 3 times we know of. This serial adulterer somehow makes a good president ??? This is the best GOP hypocrites have to offer ? God bless America !!!

When the Democrats feel threatened they resort to name calling and lame excuses to justify their socialist neo-hippie agenda. Really, speaking as an ex-democrat, the adolescent agruments from the left are truly pathetic and hypocritical.

Hillary holds no positions on things until she has tested the waters. There is no backbone to the woman.

Hillary takes us back not just through the 90′s, but back a hundred years when women typically resolved themselves to being trapped in a marriage to a philandering husband in order to maintain their position in life. She is not a role model today.

How come no one is offering their opinion of illegal aliens obtaining driver’s licenses. I agree with Barack Obama. One argument you hear is illegals don’t get auto insurance, but if you made them show proof of one year prepaid auto insurance (liability) in order to obtain the driver’s license, it would at least get rid of one problem.

Presidents represent the peoples will, not their own private interest like Giuliani and Bush! Giuliani is so great he was running AWAY from 9/11 when it happened! Giuliani is a liar as well!

Hate whomever you want. Prove your ineptness with the English language by your profanity. The truth is public record. William Jefferson Clinton gutted the military and Hillary flip-flopped like a fish on a gaff on National television.
I don’t know who will take the Republican nomination but I think it very short sighted to expect the American People to forget the corruption of the previous Clinton administration [which is also public record and I suspect will be made full use of if Hillary wins the nomination]Nor will it escape notice that the Senator who wishes to protect the privacy of terrorist and terrorist supporters had no qualms about listening to audio recordings of illegally intercepted mobile phone conversations of her husband’s political opponents.

Di, your comments about Hillary ring hollow in light of the far more egregious crimes of your hero, Geoge W (W for waterboarding) Bush. Phony war, bankrupt economy, outsourced and laid off jobs, galloping corruption, oil price and food price inflation,infrastructure left to rot for the last 7 years…the list goes on and on, and you want to parse whatever you think is wrong with Hillary? Even if she were corrupt, and I’m not saying I approve of corruption in her anymore than I do in Bush…but even if she were, all of her misdeeds (alleged or real) combined would add up to sainthood in comparison to those of your hypocritical neo-con leaders.
Don’t point a finger unless you want 3 fingers pointing right back at your blame-shifting self.

As a New Yorker I can attest to the fact that Rudy, love him or not, turned NYC around, managed it when everyone else said it was unmanageable, brought down taxes, brought in business, cleaned up the streets. Before that you didn’t dare walk in the streets past 6-7PM – none of us worked late unless the company would pay for a car to bring us home. He did much more than “happen to be Mayor on 9/11″ and you’d be ignorant to ignore that. He also threw Arafat out of NY when Clinton was welcoming him to the WH constantly.
Before he was mayor he was a US Attorney who went after the mob and white-collar criminals, very successfully.
Rudy has my vote because he knows how to lead. And if he would just make this same speech in a dress, I’d vote for him twice.

What a clown. Lets not vote for this goofball. Instead, lets change our constitution allowing GW to run again. He would win in a landslide. GW is a visionary and our military with his leadership are winning the war on terrorism while protecting our country. We do need to address our borders though.

Lets see, right now, I’ll go for some cutting the war budget…maybe bring some troops home…perhaps bring some home from Korea…stop “Star Wars” (that will pay for social security). As for not being able to answer a question in 30 – 60 seconds, I’m proud of Hillary. Anyone should put more thought into a problem than just a minute or two.

The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court case was brought by former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani and NYC won the case and millions of dollars of federal pork at the tax payer’s expense. Rudy Giuliani lack of support for the line item veto underscores why we cannot afford Rudy Giuliani as president. Mr. Giuliani will say he is a tax cutter but his legal actions regarding the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 says much more about his commitment cutting government spending which is at the heart of the problem of the national deficit. We simply cannot afford the Republican’s borrow and spend or Democrats’s tax and spend policies. If we are not emotionally sober in controlling the cost of fixing emotional-charged opportunities may they be domestic or international, we run the risk of losing our financial security in such a way that Mr. Greenspan has indicated, in the second term of the next president. Vote for candidates who will repeal Rudy Giuliani’s act to make Line Item Veto Act unconstitutional and will make the Line Item Veto Act constitutional once again for the taxpayer and our financial security.

Since I am a woman, I can say this with some insight. Many of the men who are crying in their beer for Hillary to win the nod are people who really need the mother figure to look out for them. Not all women are for Hillary because they understand her weaknesses….and boy, are there some. She does memorize beautifully though. Those mean old reporters keep trying to ask her questions that she is not prepared for. They should stop immediately.

One more post in response to Tobias 2012 and
Gordon Clarke: Listen to yourselves:, In one breath,Toby-buddy, you complain saying “When the Democrats feel threatened they resort to name calling “ and then in the remainder of your sentence you do precisely what you accuse Dems of doing i.e., calling names as when you say “socialist neo-hippie agenda….adolescent arguments…. pathetic and hypocritical.” You are typical in your con-hypocrisy:(and you’re an ex democrat my booty! Yeah,yeah, sure, sure).
In effect. you’re blaming others for what you yourself are guilty of doing…name calling. And oh and by the way, in condemning the Democrat YOU are by implication making excuses for the Republicans and their glaring failures since, in defending the Repubs….YOU are the one who makes excuses. Gotta point out the steady diet of con blame-shifting on points they themselves are guilty of….and of course have zero+-self-awareness!

JL should point his/her crooked fingers in the mirror…the economy is roaring with 3.9% GDP in 3rd quarter, lowest sustained unemployment ever, 116,000 new jobs in last month with more people employed than ever, and highest salaries ever…blaming Bush for the price of oil is as stupid as blaming him for the weather…oil is up because of unprecedented worldwide demand, not to mention the fact left wing wackos have kept the U.S. from developing it’s own oil

Kenneth, you’re right. Here is something for people about Naomi Wolf’s “End of America” (found on NY Times Best Seller List)
(quote): In a stunning indictment of the Bush administration and Congress, best-selling author Naomi Wolf lays out her case for saving American democracy. In authoritative research and documentation Wolf explains how events of the last six years parallel steps taken in the early years of the 20th century’s worst dictatorships such as Germany, Russia, China, and Chile.
The book cuts across political parties and ideologies and speaks directly to those among us who are concerned about the ever-tightening noose being placed around our liberties.
In this timely call to arms, Naomi Wolf compels us to face the way our free America is under assault. She warns us–with the straight-to-fellow-citizens urgency of one of Thomas Paine’s revolutionary pamphlets–that we have little time to lose if our children are to live in real freedom.
“Recent history has profound lessons for us in the U.S. today about how fascist, totalitarian, and other repressive leaders seize and maintain power, especially in what were once democracies. The secret is that these leaders all tend to take very similar, parallel steps. The Founders of this nation were so deeply familiar with tyranny and the habits and practices of tyrants that they set up our checks and balances precisely out of fear of what is unfolding today. We are seeing these same kinds of tactics now closing down freedoms in America, turning our nation into something that in the near future could be quite other than the open society in which we grew up and learned to love liberty,” states Wolf.

Hillary shouldn’t be so confident she has the women’s vote locked. She’s an empty shell and a bully who needs her “supporters” to surround and protect her at every move. Margaret Thatcher was tough and she was a leader. She never used her sex as an excuse to avoid answering questions and she was more than equal to the “the big boys” in the international arena. With Hillary it’s an act.

Tony, where do your crooked fingers get these statistics? You fail to point out that the roaring economy is close to recession by all accounts of monetary experts..and the jobs you gloat about are mostly low end service sector jobs, not higher paying jobs as you try to say..Headlines say that foreclosures are skyrocketing, the dollar is in free fall, the economy is flat, stagnant and headed toward a major recession possibly by this coming Spring, if not sooner…and that you had better diversify your investments overseas and into precious metals and oil futures if you want to weather the coming storm…those are headlines from News Max…not from some Democrat website….But you are just doggedly intent on justifying Bush with his huge public debt, that has unhinged our currency while causing the beginning of capital flight from our country. The GD war in Iraq and Bush taxcuts for the rich have destabilized our economic future…with huge public debt, more than all the under all the other presidents combined.
So put your crooked little fingers over your truth twisting lips…you present a right-leaning doctoring of reality to fit your ideology.

Guiliani, Hillary, all of them ~ too little too early! All of you who have the need to blast those opposing your views need to remember one thing: It is God who is ultimately in control of EVERYTHING.

In the aftermath of her showing at Tuesday’s Democrat presidential debate, Hillary Clinton claims that her opponents for the nomination are piling-on and Tim Russert is not playing fair when he presses for clear answers to direct questions. What will she do when Osama bin Laden an Iranian mullah say bad things about her?
She seems to believe that the situation in which she finds herself somehow cannot have anything to do with things she said or did. I expect she will next blame a vast left-wing conspiracy.
Imagine Maragret Thacher or Golda Mier playing victim! They were true leaders willing and able to lead, not scripted propaganda and PR manipulators.
We need a president who can lead, not one who is a perennial victim.

Giuliani is a man who has shamefully exploited September 11. He has no national security experience whatsoever; he was just the mayor of NYC during the attacks and did what any other decent leader would do. Joe Biden said “Giuliani’s scentences comprise of a noun, a verb, and 9/11.” The mayor has no experience and is trying to scare everyone into voting for him.

Posted by: liee | November 3, 2007, 10:01 pm 10:01 pm

JL, your comments sound exactly like all the other liberal whines that have weakened our country over the years. Di never mentioned George W to be a hero. Di could be a Democrat that simply refuses to support the Clinton’s twisted vision of America. You jumped to conclusions.
“Phony war”–what does that even mean? For or against, phony means fake and I’m sure by talking to the soldiers that have returned from Iraq you’ll learn this is a very real war. The reasons for going to war are too numerous to post and make most liberals’ heads explode so I’ll refrain.
“Bankrupt economy”–again, what? The economy is cyclical and of course is a slow moving beast. Changes made today don’t impact tomorrow. I’m amazed at the liberals that blame Bush for the tech bust or the current housing concerns, but refuse to blame Clinton for the bubble in the first place. Again, there are a million *facts* that show the economy isn’t “bankrupt” and the failures weren’t Bush.
“outsourced and laid off jobs”–outsourcing is a company’s choice fueled by greed. Bush doesn’t outsource his open positions, and jobs can’t people laid off, but people sure can be! Outsourcing is partly a natural evolution and partly bad policy that can be traced to every single administration dating back decades.
“galloping corruption”–I’m seeing horses. JL, your comments are odd, are you related to Hillary?
“oil price and food price inflation”–Yes! Bush runs OPEC! Sadly, people like JL have the right to vote.
“infrastructure left to rot for the last 7 years”–Bush has put in the same effort the Clinton administration had. Sadly, every president has overlooked this issue.
“Even if she were corrupt”–she is and it’s already all over the news. Her fundraising will land her in jail if anyone has the guts to look into it. Reporting the corruption in the news is one thing but taking her to court for it is a different animal.
“Don’t point a finger unless you want 3 fingers pointing right back at your blame-shifting self.” Lame and cowardly. This country once stood strong in the face of Hitler, in the face of a nuclear Russia, back to our thirst for freedom and fight against oppression. Now we’re spinning out of control under a power-grab by lefties who don’t know what they stand for and replace facts with creative rhetoric. “Republicans hate kids, Islam is peace, no one needs to worry about Iran, Shiites kill Sunnis because of America, yada yada.” Sick. Just plain sick. And Rudi, love him or hate him, called Hillary out for what she is–and he’s right!

The World Trade Center attack in 1993 was virtually ignored by Bill Clinton and his incompetent co-president. Bill was in NJ weeks after the attack but didn’t take the time to visit ground zero. The attacks in Africa and Lebenon were also ignored with no policy changes ie anti-terror efforts.
In 1998 the Sudan government offered bin Laden to Clinton…His response…I HAD NOTHING TO HOLD HIM ON…9\11 is at a Clinton failure pure and simple and now Hillary brags about all the wonderful experience she got during “her first term” yeah, right.

Hillary fans are in need of a brain transplant. Bush has done as much as most Democrats to provide for children. You need to read all the articles so that you will understand why this bill was vetoed! Furthermore, if Hillary is elected, God Forbid, you will realize that President Bush is a puppy in comparison to Hillary as a Doberman Pincher trained to kill. Are you aware of how many people who had privileged information about the Clinton’s that have died, all violently. Google Dead men don’t talk and review the FACTS. Even Hillary’s own people and supporters have made numerous statements regarding Hillary’s revengeful and mean spirited Personality Characteristic when they happen to disagree. An excellent article covered it quite truthful about a week ago on townhall.com. Read and learn, PEOPLE.

Rudy impersonates Hillary–what a drag!

all i know is, the best hope for America, for our children, and especially for our soldiers from this current crop of candidates is Senator Clinton…..anyone with common sense recognizes this

Bottom line: Since I take this next election VERY seriously, I’ve done EXTENSIVE research on EVERY candidate (in BOTH parties), regarding ALL the issues, & DESPITE all the BS that mainstream media continues to SHOVE DOWN OUR THROATS (regarding the “top tier” candidates), THE BEST ticket for 2008 would DEFINITELY be…Kucinich/Dodd!!!

Rudy should talk! He was messing around on both his wives,friends with criminals,and has a pedophile priest working for him. A real “family values” guy for sure!

A verb, a noun, and 911. Beyond that he’s nothing but a comedian?

If we knew what she really wants to do as president, we would never vote for her. So on Social Security (where she plans to raise taxes), Iran (where she will take military action if need be), Iraq (where she will keep the troops), the Alternative Minimum Tax (which she will only repeal if it can be used to hide massive tax increases) and drivers licenses (which she will give to illegals as soon as she can), Hillary resists telling the truth. And, under the scrutiny of opponents like Edwards and Dodd, and the questioning of Tim Russert, it is becoming obvious even to demented Democrats.

If I ever hear her(Hillary) say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, it will bring me to the point of wanting to dry heave. This lady is not loyal to the country. Clearly, her family has never served their nation. You know, we’re a nation of immigrants who did it the right way, and we applaud those who did. Now she wants to take people who could be, and we don’t know, who could be terrorists among those illegal aliens and give them the validation of having a driver’s license, allowing them to move through our society, as we can do now very freely. And I think that if she does that, she’s basically risking our national security.She wants to do it only for their votes!

The biggest substantive difference between Giulani and Clinton is that he earned his stripes prosecuting the mob and they are closely affiliated with it. He has a nice touch with people and she despises them.

Pro-American: First of all, you & all your pro-Paul cronies should STOP falsely stating that HE is “the only” candidate that will HONESTLY follow The Constitution…Dennis Kucinich ACTUALLY carries a copy The Constitution around in HIS POCKET!!! Furthermore, how can Ron Paul (or ANY of his advocates) be considered ETHICAL, when this “dr.” doesn’t have a healthplan to truly take care of giving AFFORDABLE healthcare to the poor & middle class?!?!?! As for EXPERIENCE & a HISTORY PROVING that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS…Kucinich has it ALL OVER HIM (Ron Paul)!!!

Like they said in the movie, A star is born, “it is going to be long and bumpy ride.” I don’t care who is the next president as long as it isn’t a democrat and as long as it isn’t Hillary inc. Rudy is fine, he will be the best one to keep us safe, Romney is okay, just that those gold tablets are a bit much for me to understand, McCain is okay, just watch out for the illegals getting fast tracked, Fred is a bit long in the tooth but his wife would make a good looking first lady. As a political junkie we are going to be in hog heaven for the next 12 months. Just be sure and vote, even if you have to hold your nose doing it.

This election is about the voters, and I WANT TO remind YOU THE (voters) what THE CLINTONS did and what they didn’t do; what they passed on; how they didn’t tackle any big issues whatsoever. Their presidency was a never-ending campaign, and more so than governing the country.

Tony’s stats about the economy are dead on, I am convinced that the liberal left has never cracked an economics text book or read the wall street journal. Gdp report shows the economy is still growing, 100,000+ jobs added last month, stocks at near record highs, unemployment rate lower than when clinton was in office. Oil prices at record highs because of supply and demand and liberals have not allowed a new nuclear plant or oil refinery to be built in 25 years. An go back and check the facts, the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION WAS THE MOST CORRUPT IN HISTORY BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INDICTED. By the way, Reagan’s son hated him too and he was a fine president.

who are these so called monetary experts you are quoting. I have not seen a single call for a major recession and the headlines come from the liberal media which would rather die than admit the tax cuts are working. Do you even no what a falling dollar means for the economy? Bush has no control over oil prices. Foreclosures are skyrocketing because stupid people who dont read their paperwork didnt realize house prices dont go up for ever and stupid loan officers who give mortgages to puople w/out verified income or documentation. its funny you whine about outsourced jobs but say nothing about ILLEGAL immigrants who take jobs, pay no taxes and take their money out of the country/local economy. It is laughable that the dems call people who make $200k rich. Rich is John Edwards, a scumbucket trial lawyer paying $400 for a haircut, John flip-flop Kerry married to a BILLIONAIRE, Teddy the drunk (who’s car has actually been responsible for killing mnore people than Dick Cheney’s shotgun)Kennedy who’s family is one of the ewealthiest in America, Nancy Pelosi who’s family owns vineyards in California, John (I don’t need no stinken seat belt) Corzine walked away from Golman Sachs with several hundred million which he used to buy his Senate seat. I got a mortgage and 2 kids to put through college so that $200k doesnt go very far when the dems want more of it-not to mention the morons here in chicago who want to raise our sales tax to 11%

mod rit….you need to go back and do some homework on Kucinich….although he seems to be ok at standing up to the NeoCons he LACKS in the 2nd Amendment Rights…….you said Kucinich carries a copy of the Constitution with him?? Tel him to try reading it sometime and he can practice it by respecting Americans right to bear arms!!!…Take a look at the NRA rating for Kucinich….F!!…Kucinich scores F by NRA on pro-gun rights policies….
RON PAUL IS THEEE ONY HOPE FOR AMERICA!!!!!!

Posted by: Pro-American | November 5, 2007, 1:12 am 1:12 am

Pro-American: You ARE right, when you say that Kucinich does not believe in easy access to guns…but doesn’t that just make sense?! Do you not believe that there are more innocent people dying due to guns, than there would be if it wasn’t so easy to own one? I know, “PEOPLE kill people, guns don’t”. You know what? GUNS make it MUCH EASIER to kill people, not to mention, actually TEMPT people (the ones that already HAVE one in their possession, whether OR NOT they’ve had a previous psychological problem)!!!!! As for making it easier, you DON’T have to be right next to the person to kill him/her when you have a gun, AND it’s usually DEADLIER than someone using any other means!!!!!

Giuliani has his head up the Bush crime families posterior. Bush completely dropped the ball regarding any dovetailing of “intelligence.” 911 happened about 24 days after Bush’s poll numbers started to drop.

Posted by: Sandra Lea | November 5, 2007, 12:17 pm 12:17 pm

Ps. Guns DO cause a large number of ACCIDENTAL deaths ALSO (whether it be when a child finds one, or when the shooter didn’t have good aim, or while an idiot cleans one while the gun is loaded, OR the shooter picks up one while HE/SHE is loaded)!!!

Clinton didn’t “gut” the military. I was serving at the time and the draw down did cut a lot of waste and some good programs at the same time, the idiotic retention standards are another story. The problem with the Clinton admin was (from my point of view) incompetance and _not_ evil intentions or ignoring problems. This “admin” problem stemed from their appointing people beond their capability based on politcal pay-offs.

Rudy does Boffo Hillary Impression

From the ABC News Blog H/T The Anchoress – who wishes she could have seen it with Rudy in drag. Me, too. http://theanchoressonline.com/2007/11/03/id-have-enjoyed-seeing-rudy-do-this-impression/ Giuliani Impersonates Hillary, Says Bill Clinton Had Head …

What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a NEW WAY. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They’ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration?
These are the ideas of Republican Presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul. He’s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He’s an intellectual who’s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church.
Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was “totally unnecessary and illegal,” he laments, “They were gung-ho. I’ve often thought about how many of those people never came back.”
Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherance to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we’re lucky.

More than 40 military bases here in the U.S.A. were closed across the country without building any new ones in the mid to late 1980′s and it was Chenney in both the Regan and Bush administrations who was in charge of it. Go back check the news between 1986 through 1992. And that was just the tip of the ICE BERG at that time of the military budget being cut.
As far as the clintons go, they are no different than any other politician. NO POLITICIAN CAN BE TRUSTED especially now. Give us someone who is honest. ‘GOOD LUCK’ Help! Give us someone who has a good strong conviction on doing right by the people. ‘KEEP DREAMING’ Help! Give us a party that does not forget the middle class, ‘SINCE WE ARE SO INVISIBLE’. Help! Someone get the Politicians a pair of glasses each because they do not see us. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
