Giuliani's foot enters mouth once again

While Hillary may have used it, it is a VERY VERY common line in military speak-- "hope is not a course of action" or "hope is not a strategy" and "plans never survive first contact with the enemy" are lines that, if someone in the military got a dollar for everytime they heard it, they'd all retire rich.  (could someone start handing me those dollars please??)

Actually,  they did.

Hmm maybe he said they didn't bring it up enough

And Giuliani is a scumbag why? Because of the work he did as DA or as Mayor? From what I understand, he made NYC a much better place to live, work, and visit, so as a NewYorker, what exactly do you have against that?  And the fact that he was pretty much "Johnny on the spot" on 9/11 pretty much gives him a lifetime pass to bring that up. You probably hate it when WWII vets talk about stopping the Nazis too, huh?

Dude, talking like that around here will get you labeled as a club toting Cro-Magnon...... 

Dumba** statement of the day...unless you forgot the red font.  If you didn't then I stand by my statement.

Purely out of interest I'm just curious as to why Giuliani is a scumbag? 

as an aussie I obviously have no inside info just what we are fed by the media.   what's he done to make him a scumbag??

From a moral standpoint Rudy is a scumbag.  But I pretty much feel that way about anyone who has had an affair or cheats while married.

As to his speech.  As a Republican, I like that he hammered Obama and Biden (mostly Obama).  It was funny and had enough of a hint of truth to it that I liked it.  You have to recognize that all these people Dems and Reps, all take soundbites from other candidates and manipulate them to make their points.  If you expect anythng else then you are either: 1.  Slow  2.  Blind  3. On the other side 4.  Perfect in every way.

I really liked it when he made the point that as President you can't just vote "Present".

What? What statement??? That was sarcasm man c'mon. I don't use red font because it's retarded to do so. So don't be such a ........... a............ meenie.

Duly noted. 

Well, I'm another NYer, life-long, and I'm no Rudy fan either.  In fact, my experience is that the majority of NYers have negative feelings about him.  Why does the fact that he was the Mayor during 9/11 give him a "life time pass" and make him some kind of terrorism expert?  Your comment about WW2 vets is pretty silly IMO.  You're not truly comparing Guliani to WW2 vets, are you?

ETA: JMK outlines specifics in his last response much better then I could have.  :-)

I think it's more aboue the running joke that every Giulliani sentence contains three elements: noun, verb and 9/11.

That and, barring 9/11, he's pretty much universally despised by his constituents.

I think the reason it is viewed negatively is that many people think that 9/11 was used to justify quite a lot of things that should never have happened. It also goes back to the previous election where 9/11 was associated with the "politics of fear".

Last night he mentioned 9/11 once and it was in reference to the Democrats pretty much ignoring its existance in their convention last week.  One time in his speech which is probably less than 1% of the time he was up there.

Shhheeesh you lefties have your undies in a bundle.  Good times!
