Giuliani Pulling Out All The Stops
Buck October 15th, 2007 - 9:09 amWhy stop at 9/11? Rudy’s pretty good at taking credit for things he doesn’t deserve.
Giuliani sells New York as town he tamed
Republican candidate is at once running against the city and embracing it
CHARLESTON, S.C. - It was a depressed and devastated place: a city shoulder-to’shoulder with welfare recipients, free’spending city officials and greedy lawyers. New York was, in the telling of Rudolph W. Giuliani , a haven of high taxes and high crime, crumbling buildings and filthy streets. It was governed by liberals and dominated by Democratic voters who did not agree with the ideas of Mr. Giuliani but who nonetheless twice elected him mayor.
[...]“I got elected and re-elected honestly not because the people of New York City agreed with my ideas,” he told an appreciative audience at the York County Republican dinner in Rock Hill, S.C., on Thursday. “They didn-t. They agreed with my results. You agree with my ideas.”

He’s the biggest fascist, but Romney may be a bigger sleazebag. It’s a hard call.
