Re: Rudy G\'s Tough Talk
Pretty much reaffirms my impression of him all along. His whole campaign is based on him going "hey, remember me? From 9/11? Ima hero amirite?"

Re: Rudy G\'s Tough Talk
Well, I think the article is slanted, but the questions it raises are very good.
I have felt this way about Rudy for a while. I find the whole aura around him a joke. There are also a lot of people in NY that hate his guts for being one of the more ardent supporters of the Rockefeller drug laws passed in the 80's. I have very little respect for Rudy as a person as well.

Re: Rudy G\'s Tough Talk
Before I read the article, I just want to say that I am a fan of Rudy, not because of 9/11, but because he was a mayor. To me, he seems down to earth and doesn't have these extravagant policies that seem unattainable. I could be ignorant of him though and could be wrong.
Right now I'm considering Rudy and Huckabee on the R side, and Hillary, Edwards, and Biden on the D side. Those are just preliminary and my opinion will change. Now, I'm going to read the article and see if my opinion of Rudy changes.

Re: Rudy G\'s Tough Talk
This article seems to blame him for the miscommunications of 9/11 between the police and fire dept., but I disagree. The NYPD and the NYFD are so large that they are their own entity in a way. Yes, Rudy could have gotten them together to have a plan, but the fact that they didn't shouldn't be blamed on him. However, that isn't the point of this thread.
I still don't see why he isn't a good candidate. That article wasn't written objectively. Maybe you can convince me otherwise.

Seriously how is this man a legitimate candidate? [/ QUOTE ] He was mayor of New York when 9/11 happened. It takes serious presidential material to be in the right place at the right time like that!
