Guiliani and the Democrats
Why have the Democrats not spent more time pointing out the mistakes Guiliani maded before 9/11? It is known by some that Guiliani did nothing to get better radios for the firefighters in NYC even though it was known that in 1993 the radios had malfunctioned. In addition, why have they not brought up the transcripts that have just been discovered in which Guiliani talks about how unprepared he was for 9/11? In question after question Guiliani either said he did not know about certain programs, or told the committee to go ask someone else because that person knew more about the programs than he did. If Guiliani is going to try to ride 9/11 to the White House then the Democrats should try to knock him off that horse, especially since he is misleading people about how well prepared he was for 9/11 and how well prepared he will be in the event of another terrorist attack. I hope the only reason the Democrats are not pointing this out is that they would perfer to go after him with this information in the general election.

1. There are a lot of issues about Guiliani that have not been discussed.

He was not popular prior to 9/11. He stood behind the cops who were thugs and his personal life was a disaster.

He pulled out of the senate race due to prostate cancer, but it was also an excuse to avoid losing to Hilary Clinton.

2. Why waste good ammunition in the primaries?
That's what the general election is for.

The primary is for sorting out your own candidate.

3. Personally I think Guiliani should be sliced and diced
He's got SO much baggage and SO many skeletons, that he should be easy to nail.

I can't STAND the creature, he's grotesque.
