Category — Rudy Giuliani

OK, convention speeches are supposed to be overblown, and fantastic, but come on. Rudy Giuliani just started making stuff up, last night:

He (Obama) immersed himself in Chicago machine politics.

What the hell? No, he didn’t, and Giuliani didn’t and can’t offer up anything to back that ridiculous claim.

John McCain will lower taxes so our economy can grow.

That sentence should read, “John McCain will lower taxes for rich people and corporations, so the wallets of rich people and corporations will grow.”

…not what [Democrats] want to do, tax us more, increase the size of government, increase tariffs, hurt jobs, send jobs elsewhere.

Democrats don’t want to do any of those things. Except maybe the tariffs.

We need John McCain to save our economy…

LOLz.

For four days in Denver, the Democrats were afraid to use the words “Islamic terrorism.” I imagine they believe it is politically incorrect to say it. I think they believe it will insult someone. Please tell me, who are they insulting if they say “Islamic terrorism”? They are insulting terrorists.

No. It’s insulting Muslims. The phrase “Islamic terrorism” is offensive. These terrorists are terrorists first, who are also Islamic extremists. Members of the Ku Klux Klan could be called terrorists, and many of them are also Christians. But if they were described publicly as “Christian terrorists”, people would be rightly offended.

Let’s look at just one example at a lifetime of principled stands that John McCain’s brought about: his support for the troop surge in Iraq. The Democratic Party had given up on Iraq … In the single biggest policy decision of this election, John McCain got it right, and Barack Obama got it wrong.

I think history will bear out that it was stupid to continue this war, but that aside, I don’t think “the surge” is close to the biggest policy decision of this election. And neither do most Americans. Looked at any polling lately, Rudy?
