Rudy Julioni is Northeast Liberal, why do we not like him?

[Nimrod2005]

I know he was mean to homeless people in NY, and he hates blacks (I think), what other rightwing tendencies does he have? I know he loves wars...etc. but so does Edwards, Biden, Kerry, Hillary...etc. They all voted for war when they had the chance.

1. Check into 9/11...

You'll know why.

[FogerRox]

12. yes, I know why.

[wyldwolf]

2. because his last name is so damn hard to spell!

[Nimrod2005]

4. ROFL....pronounced Hulio

3. They all voted for war when they had the chance.

Based on the information provided to them by the Bush Administration, which made the case for war rather profuse. Lies, yes, but at the time no one knew that.

The only mistake Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, Biden, etc., made in voting for the war was believing what Bush told them was the truth.

[Nimrod2005]

6. They could have voted against, 22 other Senators chose not to....nt

16. I just think it's important to point out that the information given to them,

which they relied on, was bad. If you don't point that out, you fall into the right wing talking point about how the Democrats supported going to war in Iraq as well as the Republicans.

I think it's important to clarify that statement, instead of just allowing it to stand on its own.

I don't defend their decisions, as I think they were wrong, but we need to make sure people understand the reasons for those votes.

8. Kucinich didn't vote for the war. And he didn't keep voting to fund the war.

So there is a candidate who was smart enough not to be fooled by bush.

[htuttle]

5. You mean other than being a corrupt, racist, hater-of-the-poor?

Gosh -- what's not to like?

:eyes:

Tell me you're not serious? Are you serious?

[Nimrod2005]

9. lol....I meant to ask what else is there? When on the surface he is a NE liberal.

Yes I am serious, but the reasons you list (and I did) are good enough to hate him. I hate how they make him into this hero...blah blah 9/11 blah blah...nt

[John Q. Citizen]

7. Rudy is a fascist. Besides that, what's not to like?

Kucinich didn't vote for the war or to fund it.

Check him out before you just blow him off. He's the real thing.

[Nimrod2005]

10. Kucinich over Julio anyday of course....I am not saying let's vote for Julioni.

[John Q. Citizen]

13. I didn't think you did. I was just promoting Kucinich in the primaries

[Bluebear]

11. Because he has pimped 9/11 as his own stepping stone enough for me. nt

[stillcool]

14. He may have been mayor of New York..

but he's no liberal...and just like Bush, 9/11 made him what he is today. His corporate ties are there I'm sure...but I have no interest in finding out who his playmates are. Like/Dislike...I could care less. I think I've finally outgrown the dog and pony shows.

[TwilightZone]

15. Liberal? Not hardly.
