Rudee! Rudee!

Did any of our right-leaning brethern watch the free-for-all from SC this past week? I was wondering what the take on Rudy Giuliani is.

I'd have to agree that other than Giulani scoring points grandstanding about 9/11, <a href="http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=051807D">Ron Paul</a> ends up winning that debate.

Anhyone else? I'd like to support Giuliani in that he's like me: a northeastern, elitist, cross-dressing, baby-killing, taxpayer-money-spendin'-machine. However, he seems to be blissfully blinkered to the reality of the Middle East.

<i>Yes, I've already take the edge off this Friday evening. Only a little sarcasm in the above post. Just a little.</i>

L: More on the debate, from that <a href="http://www.economist.com/world/na/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9200887">left-wing rag</a>.

Money quote: "Meanwhile Fox News, which broadcast the debate, continued its tradition of balancing good-looking conservative pundits with liberals who look either weird or bearded."

Guiliani left me feeling dirty when he talked. He is so fucking greasy and disingenuous. He is no different than any other lying fucking scumbag. When Ron Paul said exactly what he would do to prevent further terrorist plots (y'know, stop supporting the regimes that opress the people and create terrorists, and stop supporting rival states), Rudy comes out with "I was at 9/11, you owe us an apology"????????? What a fucking issue-dodging-fast-talking-take-credit-for-shit-you-didn't-have-shit-to-do-with asshole. Too bad, I used to think he was okay, but now all I see is "what's it gonna take for me to get your vote today, car-salesmanship.

I'm becoming more and more disillusioned with this. Not impressed on either side - who do the Libertarians have? Anyone this early?

I like Rudy beter than most, but the Right Wing fundamentalists will probably not get behind him, and even I cant vote for Romney.

The last thing we need is another fundamentalist. I think we've all had enough of that.

For the record, I think Romney is the best Rep. candidate, and he didn't fuck up MA too badly.
