New Yorkers Poluting Politics

T.D. forwarded this photo of former mayor Rudy Giuliani and former first lady and current Senator Hillary Rodham-Clinton. Hopefully we can refer to both of them as former failed presidential candidates after the November '08 election.

Rudy's Last Chance to Save the Nation?

Neither of these two formidable politicians [or maybe even poluticians] has what it takes to be the President of the United States. Both are politicians first and statesman or stateswoman second. They care more about their own selfish ambitions than what is best for the country. Both excel in pandering to special interests and playing on their celeb status.

Neither are principled leaders who take the right stand on the key social issues of the day: abortion, homosexuality or education. Mayor Giuliani does somewhat get it right that our enemy is Islam and the terrorists it breeds. Other than that he and her highness are virtually indistinguishable as New York liberals. In good conscience I could not vote for either of these two candidates.

Speaking of Mayor Giuliani, there is a story today that quoted him as saying yesterday (Friday) that he misspoke when he said he spent as much time, if not more, at ground zero exposed to the same health risks as workers combing the site after the Sept. 11 attacks. When the famous mayor tried to explain his remarks he just further upset some of his critics. One of his critics, deputy fire Chief Jimmy Riches, who spent months digging for his firefighter son. is quoted as saying, “He is such a liar, because the only time he was down there was for photo ops with celebrities, with politicians, with diplomats."

Not to be outdone by the Mayor, Thursday evening at the homosexual-oriented "Visible Vote '08" debate or what i refer to as the debauchery debate Senator Rodham-Clinton glowingly spewed forth all her homosexuality supporting rhetoric accusing Karl Rove of using the issue of marriage merely as a political issue in the last Presidential election and that she stands with all her friends in the homosexual movement. She arrogantly reminded the audience that she helped to defeat the federal marriage amendment calling it hateful. She and all of her fellow Democrat political candidates are showing extreme amounts of “love” or pander to the purveyors of perversity last Thursday night.
