CNN: Giuliani: I dream of… Hillary?


Giuliani said he dreams of the Democrats flying to France.

DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) – Republican hopeful Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that he's been having a recurring dream lately. No, it's not visions of sugar plums dancing in his head– it's the top three Democratic presidential candidates and Nicolas Sarkozy, the new president of France.

As the former New York City mayor described it to an audience at a town hall in Des Moines, Sarkozy is flying from France to the United States, and in another plane — headed in the opposite direction and so near that the two "almost hit" — are Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. As they pass each other, Giuliani continues, Sarkozy "waves to them very politely, and they wave to him very enthusiastically."

"(The Democrats) are going to France to figure out how they can get all these failed policies from France…and inflict them on the American people," Giuliani said. "(The policies are) higher taxes, more government control of health, more government control of education, more government control of who knows what -– the air that you breathe!"

The GOP presidential candidate had nothing but praise for Sarkozy, who, he said, is moving away from the failed policies of France's past and moving toward implementing a lower income tax, eliminating the inheritance tax, and giving people the ability to send their children to any school of their choice.

Giuliani concluded the story by saying, "The whole world is going in the other direction -– bigger free markets, more free trade, lower taxes, and we have three candidates for president who are going in the opposite direction."

"If you don't elect me, this country could be to the left of France."...

1. Keeping up with the Francophobia I see

That's productive scare mongering...

[AlCzervik]

2. On Noes France!!!!!!!!! see how they have to talk to their would be supporters?

lowest common denominator, the only more appealing to them are shiny objects.

[ecstatic]

Scary... it appears Rudy gets his worldview from Limbaugh

More frightening than Bush.

[Eric J in MN]

3. Bush on those subjects

"government control of health, more government control of education, more government control of who knows what -– the air that you breathe!"

Bush appointed anti-choice Supreme Court justices
Bush got Congress to pass "No Child Left Behind"
Bush officials lied about the air quality in Manhattan after 9/11

For more Republicanism, vote for Giuliani.

[incapsulated]

4. What a total fucking moron...

God, I hope he gets the nomination. :D

[BootinUp]

8. Don't underestimate the tax cut/tax raise

play. It always draws a crowd.

[incapsulated]

10. It always does with republicans

Try it in a GE, it's the same shit Bush pushed and now we are a trillion dollars in debt, what are his ideas for getting rid of that, more tax cuts?

This isn't 2000. Those lines only play to the base.

I'm so not worried about Rudy. :P

[BootinUp]

12. I think his foreign war policy is going to sink him.

in the GE anyways.

[incapsulated]

17. I agree

All he can promise is more war all the time.

[Rhythm and Blue]

5. OMG GOV'T CONTROL OF THE AIR!

No pollution = BIG BROTHER EVIL!

[Glorfindel]

6. Why, yes, of course he is - one can't be sane & a Repuke

at the same time. :evilgrin:

[BootinUp]

7. Its not a bad strategy for the Ghoul. n/t

[aquart]

9. Unless you've seen Sicko with the happy happy French people.

[BootinUp]

11. True, but not enough have, maybe Hillary should pay

to send out dvd's to folks so they can watch it. ;)

[aquart]

14. Only if she plans to institute their healthcare.

Which she doesn't. Lady needs to re-think. The whole top tier needs to re-think.

[BootinUp]

16. On her plan, a thought

Been awhile since I read it, but the one part I remember was pitting the single payer (medicare) vs. the insurance industry. And letting people choose which way to go, I think its a brilliant idea.

[liberalmuse]

13. I'd love America to be to the left of France.

So let's not elect Herr 9/11.

[calteacherguy]

15. Tell the American people we should be more like the French is not a good campaign strategy.

For either the left or the right.

[incapsulated]

18. Why bring the French into it at all?

The Democrats don't. Only the repukes are obsessed with hating the French.

And are so stupid they don't even realize if it wasn't for the evol French there wouldn't be an America at all, lol.

[pnwmom]

19. What a horrifying thought -- the govt. to control the air we breathe!

No, how much better to let all the polluters pollute as much as they want!

:sarcasm:

Not surprising, though, since this is from one of the crew that declared the post 911 air to be perfectly safe.

[VOX]

20. God, I loathe this hack, and whoever's writing his material as well...

He has these little set pieces, like his wife calling on the cell phone during a speech, or this "recurring dream" shtick. But in the end, it's always the spook-story about how liberals are going to raise taxes.

It's all so tired and wheezy. But he's best buds with Fox's Roger Ailes, who's given Rudy far more airtime than any other GOP candidate. *That* is worrisome.
