Rudy Giuliani V Sarah Palin

If you had a ballot with the names of two former mayors, Rudy or Sarah, which would you select to run the country? Rudy was mayor of New York City during 9/11 and his "broken windows" strategy to fight the "Gangs of New York" dramatically reduced crime rates in one of the World's largest and most powerful cities. Palin was mayor of Timbuktoo where nothing interesting has ever happened. If you honestly believe that Sarah Palin would be a better President than Rudy, you need to look yourself in the mirror, slap yourself in the face, and give your head a good shake!

  1. I think this is a case where my Liberal detractors who visit with relative frequency are voting for Sarah Palin to give the appearance that my audience is retarded.

  2. Palin hs no experience .. Nonsense ... Harry Truman was a small town haberdasher with little or no experience , and when he took over the reins from Roosevelt he had to be the one to decide whether or not to use the atom bomb on Japan or commit millions to death in a D-Day-like assualt on mainland Japan.

  3. If Giuliani won the nomination, he'd be president right now.

  4. I like Rudy as well, and he definitely has executive experience to bring to the table. That being said, either of them are far more qualified than the current resident of the White House.

    I believe it was Truman, although I could be mistaken, who said that no man came to the Presidency properly trained or prepared for the duties and responsibilities of the position, but the Oval Office, the Presidency and all its trappings, made lesser men great simply because of its gravitas. One could not help but grow into the position.

    I'm not sure he was entirely correct, but there is no doubt something to it.

  5. The appeal of Sarah Palin is that she would hack and slash billions of pork barrel spending,currentand future, which is what is destroying the US economy and driving them deeper into financial ruin.
    The US needs tough love financially.
    RG may be able to do the same job, but would he?

  6. I anm far from a lireberal and think Sarah Palin would make a better president because Rudy Giuliani
    IMO RG has become part of the (scratch my back I scratch yours) politics that have taken over the US government.

  7. I am sorry I guess in your estimation that I am looney-toons. I am not a Liberal and contribute gobs of money to the Conservative party. I think you have been drinking the media kool_aid about Sarah Palin. She is a very well read lady with alot of cojones.She certainly has a heck of alot more experience than what they have in the WH at the present. Have you been to Alaska? It is not Timbuctoo as you so snidely comment.I like Rudy also but do not give him a pass just because he was mayor of New York when 9/11 happened.Iceman, are you prejudiced because she is a Christian and that goes against your grain? Everyone has some form of religion what is yours?

  8. Your comparison is (respectfully) rubbish. Sarah Palen became state governor after she was mayor - and she cleaned up a lot of corruption. Juliani never got above mayor. Given your choices, I would pick the ex-governor as having more experience. Oh, and it wasn't Timbuktoo - your biases are all too prevalent.

  9. Perhaps retarded was the wrong word. Foolhardy, delusional, or brainwashed would be better to describe the mindset of people who advocate a Palin Presidency.

  10. I loved Rudy's book Leadership, but I have to think he is getting a bit long in the tooth. He also has a lot of family history to live down and of course he is pro-choice (which I agree with) in a party that has the strong pro-life lobby.

    Someone else other than these two...

  11. Sorry Eliza, I can't be at the computer all day to moderate comments in real time. I was not sitting at a computer between now and the time you posted your comments.

    I suppose that you can call my opinion "biased", but generally accusations of bias launched at me are that I am biased in favour of Conservatives. It is an opinion. I am not saying that it is wrong to support Palin, just not as President.

  12. The only reason that I started moderating my comments was because Liberal loons write the darndest things, and my family reads my blog.

    I was raised Scottish Protestant and lean towards Humanism.

  13. So I'm delusional, Iceman? What, because I'm a Reaganite and so is Palin?

    Grow up.

  14. If you think Palin is qualified to be President, then yes you are delusional, or just foolhardy.

  15. Poor Iceman, you see, us Conservative ladies love Palin, because we can relate a lot better to her than some white guy who doesn't believe in family or babies. But that's our opinion, and I will take a woman who can shoot her supper over a mayor who just happened to be in office when 9/11 happened. I think he did a great job then, but his support of baby killing just doesn't sit well with a lot of people.

    Your arrogance at calling us delusional says more about you than us.

  16. That's right, so the 70,000 words that I have written in the last year hammering Mike Ignatieff and Bob Rae, was I also delusional then? I suppose that Iggy is not a dipshit and my opinion is just flawed.

    I want Rudy to be President because we are at war, and this is the guy I want going around the world taking the fight to the bad guys.

    And I like Sarah Palin! Just not as President!

    Jesus Christ, have an opinion and the far right declares a fatwa?

  17. Make a joke about Bob Rae being comparable to the chief engineer at Chernobyl, and Conservatives love you. State that Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president, and out comes the venom and "fact checkers".

    I think Liberals who advocate Bob Rae's candidacy are delusional. Oh, but because I am delusional then the opposite must be true and Bob Rae would make an excellent Prime Minister!

    Sheesh!

  18. You calling us delusional for thinking that Palin would make a good president is not an opinion, it is the same kind of hateful attack that the liberal left makes on a daily basis.

    Grow up and stop acting like a leftard.

  19. And just FYI, those who vote left wing aren't delusional, they are misguided. Stop with the hatred, you are making the rest of us look bad.

    "I have always maintained that I like Sarah Palin as a person and I think that she has a bright future in our society, but anyone who thinks that she can win on a national ticket is delusional."

    That is an opinion, and I hardly thinks it qualifies as hatred. I like Sarah Palin! But she is not a viable Presidential candidate. I say she has a bright future, how does that put me on par with Bill Maher who accused Bristol if giving birth to the down syndrome baby?

  21. Sorry bra, I have limits to the level of slander that I will allow to be posted on my site. If you want to slander me, do it on your page. My parents don't read your blog.

  22. And Reagan trusted Giuliani to oversee his law enforcement agencies when he tapped him for associate AG while Palin was in high school.

  23. Iceman I have to agree with you. Consider this. The current Palin endorsement is coming from the Left disguised as Republicans or Reaganites. It is in the Left's best interest for Palin to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2012. It is the only chance Obama has for a second term. However the Republicans will nominate a seasoned professional for 2012 - not Palin. America will not make the same mistake twice - nominating a media darling such as Obama or Palin. Any pro-Palin comments on your blog are coming from the Left no matter how they disguise themselves.
