On the presidential campaign trail, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani often promotes the installation of electronic monitoring devices at the border to stem illegal immigration, without mentioning that until a few months ago, he was partner in a company trying to market such technology.

Mr. Giuliani and his consulting company were part owners of SkyWatch L.L.C., a closely held start-up company that says it has developed a sensor capable of monitoring illegal border crossings. SkyWatch, in collaboration with Raytheon, a large military contractor, is now looking to market the technology to the federal government and elsewhere.

Bloomberg's speech the other day refered to ol BOSS TWEED, and only a dumb moron like BillO could have failed to notice the veiled reference to the real possibility that were America's mayor to become the executive power in the country he would go down in history as yes BOSS RUDY. There can be no doubt whatsover that he would transform the polity into his personal turf and make NIXON look like a knight in shining armor. BOSS RUDY was beaten by the retro Paul and the preacher idiot Huck in every primary so far, but now its going to get serious because we are talking about the majority of delegates in the next few weeks. BOSS RUDY WANTS DELEGATES AND WILL BE PROMISING THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANT AS W. DID 8 YEARS AGO. AND WE HAVE JUST SEEN WHAT THAT GOT US. TELL REPS BOSS RUDY IS the ROAD TO RUIN

..Rudy whored for the makers of Oxycontin to get more of it on the street at a time a few years ago when it was already so overprescribed and easily available on the black market that it was killing hundreds of people yearly by overdose and ruining thousands of lives . i am certain he knew this- yet his goal was to get local and even federal law officials to back off. his lobbying firm was handsomely paid. in essence, he parlayed the death and destruction of 9-11 into big $$$ as a lobbyist so he then, through his 9-11 celebrity status, could promote another form of death and destruction through Oxycontin addiction and overdoses on behalf of his big pharma clientele....shameless, soulless, ghoulish opportunist...

Just like Dumbya and Darth Cheney, with Rudy, just follow the money. And the corruption. And the lies. And the fear mongering. And the neocons.

Rudolfus X Guiliani (aka Rudoofus, aka Nosferatu, aka Il Douche) is in serious trouble. He needed a campaign fund infusion so he did a little pandering to a defense contractor. This guy is yesterday's news, he is toast, done, finito, dried out, Judith's sloppy leftovers, even the chipmunks he had his way with will soon desert him.

Rudy stories are always revealing of his character which is that of used mouthwash, preowned socks, in other words nothng anyone with half a brain wants or needs or most importantly will vote for. Rudy is a pest which hopefully Flordia will eliminate from the election news. Please everyone in Flordia tell everyone to not give this guy one single vote, not ONE. Recall he used NYPD drive his girlfriend around and left old ladies walking their dogs unprotected. Rudy is only interested in serving himself and his inflated ego and will be WORSE THAN BUSH, A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE. RUDY for garbage collector in NAPLES IS WHAT HE SHOULD DO --- THEY NEED HIM IN ITALY....PREGO PREGO PREGO RUDY HELP THEM OUT IN NAPLES...YOU AND JUDY CAN GO DOOR TO DOOR and pick up garbage...

Being financially invested proves rooty cares about border security, and his own, securities.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Rudi and Osama were best buds reading their respective roles off the same script.

Not to mention that he already has tested one of these electronic monitoring device on Judi Ann Stish.

He knows it works!
