Giuliani insults everyone's intelligence

So Rudy Giuliani made some asinine comments in which he trots out the old Bushie canard about how if Americans don't vote for Republicans, terrible things will happen. (Don't forget, Giuliani is a "moderate.")

Let's follow the logic the Bushie GOP uses. Something bad happened when a Republican was in the White House, and it was Bill Clinton's fault. Bad things are still happening and there is still a Republican in the White House, and it's Harry Reid's fault. And if Barak Obama or John Edwards are in the White House and something bad happens, Giuliani would have stopped it, even though the event is in the future and may or may not happen.

Seriously, our country can't afford much more of this kind of intellectual dishonesty. The Bushies have darn near wrecked the Army, they certainly made a hash out of Iraq, which cost us the fruits of a brilliant initial effort in Afghanistan, our allies are suspicious of us, corporate contractors have robbed us blind, yet Democrats are the threat to national security?

Okay then.

Maybe Giuliani secretly would prefer to return to the motivational speaking circuit, where he can hang out with his pal Zig Ziglar and fire up the middle management suck-ups forced to attend these life changing seminars.

This is a serious time in our history. Someone who would trot out these ridiculous attempted smears is unfit to serve in the White House. Giuliani is not interested in a stronger, united America, but has instead decided to use the Bushie tactics of division and insult. So who is actually rewarding the terrorists, Rudy?

It shows just how badly off the GOP is when one of their leading contenders has to start Swift Boating a year and a half before the election. Pathetic.
