Giuliani's Clients Could Pose Conflict
By SHARON THEIMER and DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writers

1 hour ago

In this photo provided by FOX News, Rudy Giuliani ...

WASHINGTON - As a partner in a law and lobbying firm, Rudy Giuliani has profited from his firm's work representing corporate clients before virtually every Cabinet department, exposing himself to a wide range of potential ethical entanglements.

If Giuliani were elected president, his administration would be on the receiving end of regulatory requests, contract bids and policy proposals by the same clients of his Houston firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, that have contributed toward his personal net worth of millions of dollars.

Although the Republican presidential candidate has so far declined to identify all the companies with which Bracewell and his other firms have done business over the past five years, The Associated Press identified more than 175 as part of an expansive review of lobbying records, court filings and securities reports.

Giuliani's law and lobbying clients have included Saudi Arabia, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and chewing tobacco maker UST Inc.<snip>

<snip>
Bracewell & Giuliani alone has thousands of clients but will name only a few dozen. Since Giuliani became a partner in spring 2005, it has reported lobbying on various issues with the White House, the vice president's office, Congress and every Cabinet agency except the Department of Veterans Affairs, the AP review found.<snip>

4. and he's going to try like hell to keep the focus on 9*11
blatant effort to play upon people's emotions, using fear to instill anger which can be used to produce trained-animal like obedience and loyalty when needed - jump.........now.

I see it coming. I don't think it will work, tho. I think the 9*11 ride is just about over for the crazies party. People are waking up, too many. Way too many now. No putting that jeanie back into the bottle. Rudy will scream 9*11, but the spell has been broken, shy of some new modern day Pearl Harbor, and I'm not dismissing the possibility - I half-way expect it, 9*11 is not going to win it for him.

Bottom line is - America is ready for a change. How can a bush-supporting republican claim to represent change?

The next presidency is ours unless we give it away.

And that realization makes me want to rethink who I"m leaning toward for the Dem nom.
