Giuliani: "For Me Every Day Is An Anniversary Of Sept. 11"

Basking in the lasting glow of his Sept. 11 leadership while campaigning in Pinellas County and Orlando on Friday, Giuliani stressed national security and electability, rather than the sort of hot-button social issues that are thought to be critical to winning the Republican nomination.

"For me every day is an anniversary of Sept. 11," Giuliani said after reviewing emergency response equipment at the Pinellas Sheriff's Office with Attorney General Bill McCollum and Sheriff Jim Coats. "If we don't talk about Sept. 11, you can't prepare to try to avoid another Sept. 11."

Hey, he's made millions giving speeches about 9/11, if you can make that much money off of standing on a pile of corpses, I guess he figures it will get him into the White House. Why not? Bush got elected twice, anything can happen.

"Bush got elected twice, anything can happen."
Sorry to nitpick, but NO, he did not get elected even once. He stole the office.
Maybe your intent was to express amazement that ANYONE would ever actually vote for one as obviously unqualified as Bush?
That he has ever had any support, or was ever considered "presidential" by anyone has always stunned me.....tal­k about your lowest common denominato­r.....

[ms.understood]

This asswipe is an absolute disgrace to American politics. All of his showboating during 9/11 won't get him in the White House. His constant comments about his "contributions" made on that day should inform his supporters that he obviously has nothing else of value, and that his political policies will mirror the idiotic idiosyncracy of this administration. Why don't we just send him into that massive black hole just discovered in outer space, then we never have to witness his grandstanding again?

"His constant comments about his "contributions" made on that day should inform his supporters that he"

is willing to do anything asked of him by his masters. anything at all. name it - he'll do it.

ship off all the evidence in a week? you bet.

his "contributions" were significant.


he's a slut.

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

This is an insult to all sluts everywhere. You take that back!!!

[Nommo]

The most vile part of all his claims is that it forgets the people who died that day, people who are dying today because of their work that day.
People did what they had to do in response to a situation that was at once beyond belief and critical. No one had time for grandstanding--too many injured, too many to account for. People were in shock grim, confused, afraid, but there was no panic. Those of cooler heads stepped up and assisted those who were in distress.
I am not even talking yet about the emergency responders, those who did what they had to do with above and beyond competence and bravery.
That's what NYC is about. Not grandstanding.

American politics has been a disgrace since 1913 when the Fed took over you're government.
(Canada is no better so I am not putting us over you)

[getoffmedz]

The only reason the maggot Giuliani is popular at all is he like many others live off of this disaster.

Those who feed off of the great misfortune of others are ghouls and sick motherfuckers.

[bmermaid]

LOL I wouldn't have put it quite that way, but that's it, in a nut-shell. Giuliani has only one issue, and the truth is, he's no hero on even that one.
But a lot of the same people that GWBush's phony bill of goods, have bought ole Rudy's too. He'll sell them the Brooklyn Bridge, too, for only a small campaign contribution.

[DRaymond]

All you have to do is listen to his speeches and you know that every day is like an anniversary to him.

If you like the way in which Bush pulls out 9/11 to justify every harebrained ideea of his administration then by all means vote for Rudy!

[dotmafia]

Mr. Giuliani, with all due respect Sir -- I hope you pass away quietly in your sleep with a smile on your face -- on September 11.

[dadw5boys]

NOTYHING CAN DEFEAT AMERICANS BUT FEAR THATS ALL RUDY IS SELLING IS FEAR.
GO AWAY RUDY YOUR 15 MIN OF FAME HAS PASSED!

[shockmagog]

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Giuliani will beat the 9/11 horse until it is reduced to dust.

[Yasmine]

GIULIANI, I HOPE YOU WILL NOT EVEN GET NOMINATED.
NAME RECOGNITION HAS MADE YOU LEAD IN THE POLLS.
YOU DID NOTHING FOR NY SECURITY BETWEEN 1993 to 2001.
STOP RIGHT NOW and have fun with your 3rd wife.

[truthyguy]

Contrary to most, I hope Rudy is the GOP nominee. It would be impossible to lose the general election to him.

[kroses98]

Are you kidding? Wait until the firefighters get at him! And then, wait until his REAL reputation gets out. He won't have a chance in hell of winning the general election!

[shockmagog]

You'd have to be dead to even stand a chance of losing to Giuliani.

Then again, his nomination would seal the fate of the Republican Party for generations to come.

[gonnuts]

One: before the election there WILL be some kind "false flag" attack like 9/11. bush&co. WILL attack Iran.

This will cower the public and propel gulinani as "our savior". jeb bush will be chosen as VP.

The dumbicrats will have H Clinton which will assure their defeat, and so would Obama (this country, sorry to say, will NOT elect a person of color with a Muslim sounding name - period. Not in this "red-neck" country).

The wars will continue. What's left of our freedoms will be gone and the powers that be will continue to exploit at will.

If you think all this won't happen ask yourself this: did you ever think bush would stand a chance of getting elected not just once, but twice, and who benefitted, and still is, from 9/11?

[kroses98]

He looks like Hitler in that picture! I hope he is booed by the firefighters at the event.

[NoblesseOblige]

Regarding 9/11, every day is "Christmas" for Rudy. It's the holiday that "keeps on giving." I wonder if he even remembered to send out "anniversary cards" to all of the victims today?

Peace
