I live in NY......Giuliani even tried to ban hotdogs
How can a guy like this be president? I mean, come on, hot dogs? It's almost 4th of July! Seriously though, this guy is a giant facist pain in the ass....Hey I love Mayor Mike, but this guy? Jesus Christ. Nahh, this guy has ties to the mob. Besides all that baggage, look what he did to his first two wives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Christ. If that doesn't tell you what kind of prick this guy is what does? If he can do that to people he loves imagine what the hell he will do to you?!

Not Everyone Knew What an Idiot He'd be
simply knowing that George W. Bush was/is an idiot wasn't enough to stop millions of our fellow citizens from voting for him in 2000 and, worse, in 2004.
I don't think that's entirely fair. During the 2000 election, it really wasn't all that evident that George W. Bush was the imbecile he indeed turned out to be. A certain segment of the population seemingly regard ALL GOP Presidential nominees as innately idiotic, so it really doesn't prove anything when they are correct (especially in light of the fact they seldom admit it when they're wrong; the last Republican candidate a majority of the Democratic base didn't denounce as an idiot was probably Wendell L. Wilkie in 1940, and ironically, Wilkie WAS an idiot). My wife, my ex-wife, and both my parents voted for Bush in 2000 (while I voted for Patrick J. Buchanan), yet all four of them were educable enough to see the error of their ways and so voted for John Kerry in 2004 (while I was forced to write-in a vote for Ralph Nader). People who voted to re-elect Bush in 2004 deserve a healty heaping of scorn & ridicule, but his initial supporters in 2000 deserve a more forgiving judgement.

At least we know that Rudy plays by the book
The republican playbook written by Karl Rove.
Rule 1: when you have nothing to say, say it louder
Rule 2: if you don't like history, revise it
Rule 3: clinton, bill or hillary, is responsible for all evil
Rule 4: Say "I am not a lackey and stooge" 10 times before you pee in the morning.

It's a pity none of your family read a book by Molly Ivins called "Shrub: The Short But Happy Political Life Of George W. Bush" before they voted for him in 2000.
She was a Texas newspaper reporter who compiled a devastating record of his failures as a business man and subsequent rescue time and time again by his father's rich cronies.
Anyone who read that book would never have voted for what would turn out to be the single worst candidate for president ever run by a political party.
It only goes to show that money trumps everything in this country.

Read history, he is not the worst Pres. He is in the bottom 20...
We have had very poor President's. Much worse then Bush. Andrew Jackson was basic evil and was a real dictator during a time when the federal government was tiny and true power could be waged by one person. If you look at the US that is one of our great strenths is the fact that you can only last 4 or 8 years in office. We are able to replace bad with average every 4 or 8 years. Once in a while every 20-40 years we get a good one and about every century we get a great one. But the worse

Rudy built a 9/11 stadium
Did not this clown fund an emergency response center equipped with
a field of Blast proof windows that look out on the former World trade center? oh....and the irony!!! that thing inexplicably vanished in a heap about 5 hours later. Extraordinary foresight
for someone who should have predicted how un attractive his offspring might be.

was 9/11 an attack on the Bush family?
I don't read much of the news really and I don't have time for blogs but somehow, who knows how, I find myself with enough data to form wild ass opinions. My apologies to those who can keep up with, categorize, analyze, and make sense of "the facts."
It seems that Bill Lawton's (horrible book written by a guy who must never have spent an hour with a real child), most pressing desire was to rid Saudi Arabia of it's vulturous American presence. And he seems to have been interested in a middle east solution that would have allowed the Palestinian people to be categorized politically as homo sapien sapien. When the Bush machine (so handholdingly connected to the Saudi kingdom) was "elected" he must have thought the time was right. Gore, as Clinton did, might have listened to the frack and the fray of an occasional embassy bombing and responded accordingly, or as Bill Lawton (the writer seems to think himself so attuned to the big ideas that he can forget about the human character)would have wanted him to respond. Bush, the newcomer to the international stage and a man who would act out, to perfection, all of the neurotic weaknesses of the big powerful West, was the perfect target, but he needed a bigger bang like 9/11.
In some ways the hysterical right may be right. The character of the man we elect to be our next president could be a factor in the "war on terror" to come.

Sick of 9/11
All the repulbicans have talked about since 2001 is 9/11. I am sick to death of hearing about it. They have played right into the hands of the terorist, by keeping it on the front burner constantly.

Fred Thompson just lost Florida
A Republican spreading paranoia about Cuban refugees? He can't very smart if he's doing that.

@ Kevin Riley O'Keeffe
Kevin...
When I wrote that "simply knowing that George W. Bush was/is an idiot wasn't enough to stop millions of our fellow citizens from voting for him in 2000 and, worse, in 2004.", I was writing from the position of first-hand observer.
I lived in Texas during Dubya's days as Guberanator. I was involved day-to-day with Texas politics. I know the family well and personally. Worst, I had to deal with Dubya and his minions mano-a-mano.
So, please don't tell everyone that "we couldn't have seen this idiot coming down the road." Those of us who knew/know him are of the same opinion...forged by observation and interaction: he is an idiot.
By the way, Barbara Bush's most gifted child was her dog Millie.
