Rudy Giuliani Speaks At The RNC

[blungo99]

Here Giuliani set the tone for negative slander that eventually would loose the election for McCain

[brancate]

Giuliani rules, McCain/Palin rule.

[odddslife]

rudy giuliani is an unspeakable ass. way to exploit the tragedy of 9/11 for the sake of your and your party's attention whoring.

[bamf2733]

George Bush had "experience" before he was elected... look what he did to this country.... Nixon had "experience" before he was elected...Obama is a breath of fresh air to get these oil loving puppet republicans out of there.

[palmtree4588]

shut up you liberals, Obama hasn't accomplished a single thing in his life.  McCain has actually accomplished a whole lot, and therefore proven, not just talk. how is Obama going to change Washington when he votes partisan 97% of the time? how is being partisan 97% of the time going to bring Americans together? McCain is bipartisan, now that is change America can believe in!

[halfass0369]

Shut up you liberals? It's the hands-over-the-ears "Blah blah blah...I can't hear you, I can't hear you" Republican solution again. McCain is bi something alright, I think the word is bipolar. He is a nut bag. Stop reading biased opinions for you information, and start looking that issues and facts for yourself.

[palmtree4588]

What are you? 13? Read obamas plans, they make no sense and are completely not practical. Bye bye US Economy. Republican policies are realistic, democratic policies are only nice on paper, not theory. And Bush had no foreign policy experience prior to 2000.

[halfass0369]

Actually,I'm a little older than that. I have read a lot lately. Iv'e also read a lot about McCain. Republican policies are realistic? That is laughable. Tell me a little about McCain's realistic policies, and explain how, to you, they are realistic. I know it's hard to do, but please try to do this without calling me names. What is McCain going to do for this country?

[palmtree4588]

subsidized health care is realistic, universal health care for 300 million people is very expensive and difficult to do and will ruin the economy. best thing to do is make health care as affordable as possible with help from the government. also, raising taxes during a recession is extremely stupid. when you go to community college in 9 years (I'm assuming you're 9) and take a basic economics class you'll see that obama's economics policies are very, very unreasonable.

[halfass0369]

Thanks for telling me why you don't agree with Obama's policies. Please tell me why you agree with the polices of the current administration (republican policies) and how they have made a positive impact on our present state of affairs. Please try to do this without the attitude. When you answer a question like that, it really reminds me of the way McCain answers a question he doesn't like. Try really hard, ok?

[bamf2733]

Actually palmtree, almost all expert economists agree that Obama's plan would be more efficient than McCain's plan. Look at what Bush's de-regulation has done to this country. Stock Market crashes, big companies goin down the drain... BUT WAIT!!! Republicans love laissez faire but LAISSEZ FAIRE DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU BAIL COMPANIES OUT DOES IT???? THATS THE REPUBLICAN GOV'T BEING HYPOCRITS TO THEIR OWN ECONOMIC BELIEFS. God Bless Obama and I pray that he wins the election, this country needs him.

[arm87rod]

Can Rudy G say, Family Values?

[cutttheBS]

I am wundering how much thay have paid public for support

[halfass0369]

Apparently, Giuliani's "resume" wasn't good enough to even get him past January 2008 in his run for the Presidency. Maybe he should have studied Bernard Kerik's "resume" a little harder! Giuliani "got it wrong". I'd love to see those false teeth pop out of his weasley little mouth during this speech.

[nebil219]

Jon Stewart was right Guliani gets a royality check everytime someone uses the word 911...he has a 911 fetish big time....

[yammoman]

The part that made me sick was when he claimed that Democrats were scared of using the term

"Islamic Terrorism". The issue here isn't that they are scared of using the term, it's that the term is both insulting AND makes no sense. Just because someone has those religious views doesn't mean they are a terrorist. Making the two word synonymous alienates both Americans with that religious view as well as huge populations throughout countries we consider allies. What a fucking scumbag.

[PhiloCentinel]

He worked as a... COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!?! WHAT AN ASSHOLE! (sarcastic) Fuck off, you conservative motherfucks. You're going to lose, and I'll laugh when we have an actual competant person in the White House.

[TheUnnormals]

We should all take a moment and reflect on how incredibly wonderful it is that this one trick pony lost really badly. Fearmongering sucks.

[atong621]

Giuliani is a fucktard.

[smithjt1]

left wing media and celebrities ARE people of America with the same valid concerns...so we're supposed to let the right wing media decide for us? Giuliani, ur gonna have to do better than that...

[smithjt1]

IF "America comes first", as you so eloquently stated Mr. Giulinai, then let's get these poor troops back home to their families, and let foreign troops (who have agreed to step in on our behalf) keep the peace and rebuild. Let us then deal with the problems IN America... and there are MANY...

[tlkshowhst]

This is a great speech.

[Richardgwm]

Stock market total returns (S&P500) during eight year Presidential terms

Roosevelt (12.1 years) 336%

Clinton 259%

Eisenhower 216%

Reagan 200%

Truman (7.8 years) 185%

Bush 3%

That is not 3% per year. That is 3% over the entire 7+ years. If you are satisfied with these results, vote Republican.

[halfass0369]

Apparently, according to Giuliani, working in/for your community is something to be laughed at and isn't important in understanding what the community needs. I found it fairly insulting, as will most people that saw or will watch his speech in the future. I'm not sure if he was laughing because Obama did it, or because he just couldn't imagine HIMSELF doing it. What a sleaze.

[Shiftyeyes516]

I thought i seen a puddy cat - I did , I did

This guy spit when he talk - -- McCain's flounky - McCain treated him like a 'bitch' he was kick to the curb be the Repus - they cant stand his studpi azzz - This clown is a total idiot! Rude Guiiiilixm - whatever!

[smithjt1]

seriously? "Drill, baby, drill???" What the hell kind of solution to oil independence and global warming is that??? We need NEW and CLEAN sources of energy...

[Gravyman]

Is being a patriot enough? A whole lot of rednecks are patriots, should they be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

It is so fuckin' disgusting that these republicans fight so HARD to prevent anyone from making the most obvious cases about Palin - SHE'S JUST AN AVERAGE PERSON AND SHE'S NOT KNOWLEGABLE ENOUGH TO BE ON THIS BIG OF A STAGE.

Stanch oldschool chauvinists are screaming sexism and citing her year & a half as more experience than Obama!!!

WTF is going on?!?

[smithjt1]

While I respect our troops so much and am thankful for them, I think there are many other ways to be considered a hero of people. I'm sick of hearing "McCain was a soldier!"...So are a LOT of other people... So what?

[bamf2733]

Republicans get way too horny and like to shoot their guns whenever they get the chance. They need to calm down down. I know that it pisses you that people like OBAMA but you gotta live with it. Just like you have to live with the fact that this country will be predominantly hispanic in about 40 years.

[smithjt1]

SO true...

[merexoxo555]

haa loveeddd it! obama sucks. hes an unexperienced man who thinks hes goona save the planet-get real you idiots!

[bamf2733]

Ok guy, ur probably retarded or have parents that are retarded and taught you about politics. George Bush fucked up the country.John McCain graduated 894th out of 899 people in his class at Annapolis college.Barack Obama graduated #1 at Harvard and was president of the Harvard Law Review. McCain is a dumb shit and just another puppet for those oil crazy republicans.GOBAMA BABAY FUCK THAT OLD FART MCCAIN. FUCK ALL OF THOSE PUSSY REPUBLICANS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY AFRAID OF DICTATORS AND TERRORISTS.

[bamf2733]

See, Im not like you. Terror is not a foe, it is a tactic. Anyone can be a terrorist. I could be a terrorist, you could be a terrorist, Rudy Giuliani (with his Daffy Duck voice) could be a terrorist. Waging a war on terror is like waging a war on ghosts. Iraq had no terrorists, or WMDS, and we invaded. See, Barack Obama isn't afraid to talk with dictators like you pussies. Diplomacy is the key to success. We need to make friends not enemies.

[halfass0369]

Gee, great job Rudy Goebbels. I couldn't figure out if the sound on the video was bad, or if he really sounds like that? Is it me or do they just recycle these speeches every single election year?

[JArtale]

He might have well just say that he is Napoleon.

[RealTalkTV00]

Wake Up Americans Look At The Facts. A News Show Did A Polling and Found Obama Up By 35% But CNN and other news shows show a 8% Obama Lead. Where are his votes coming from? a fox news polling said 79% of people think Bush is the worst president. 62% said McCain=Bush Wake Up!! Obama had like 85,000 people at his speech McCain had 10,000. This is a Man Who Ran Out On His Wife and kids to be with a 21 year old women. This is a man who had 15 min conversation with a women before making her his VP.

[JasonRadley]

Just think, if he can choose so well based on a 15 minute chat, think how great he might do if he gave a subject his undivided attention for an hour.

[JasonRadley]

If you really think Obama's going to win by 35% in November, watch this space.

[enjoyitbro]

hahahhahahahahahahah provide a link or some evidence stating the bullshit you just said

[jingo2148]

You know, I tried to be non-partisan. I watched both Conventions. I wanted to get a feel for where both parties stand. I actually came away from the Dem convention knowing about Obama's tax policy, energy policy, education policy, Iraq war policy, etc...

All I heard last night at the RNC was a bunch of bitterness, vitriol, sarcasm, and little substance.

Is this how you guys plan to win in November? It worked 4 years ago, but things are different now. Get your act together Republicans.

[JasonRadley]

You tried to be non-partisan, but...

[bjm9282]

Wow, I tried to be non-partisan, but the Republicans showed me all I needed to know to swing my vote to the Democrats.

It's really simple. If you give me substance and particulars, I'm more likely to vote for you. If you give me a bunch of sarcasm and bashing, which is what I saw last night, I probably won't vote for you.

You guys keep this up and you're just handing the election to Obama. This isn't 2004.

[jingo2148]

You're an idiot. I told you everything you needed to know in my post.

[JasonRadley]

Yeah and you're a genius. Ha-fucking-ha.

[GretchenDawntreader]

yeah it's freaking hilarious that Obama worked for the community he lived in as an organizer. So beneath the dignity of a man with such a rich pedigree as McCain. McCain would never stoop so low as to mingle with common folk.

I can't believe an entire effing convention of goddamn republicans laughed at the term "community organizer."

I so look forward to November.

[GretchenDawntreader]

...9/11?

[JasonRadley]

That's an impressive backdrop. Is it real?

[redwine666]

a noun a verb and 911, fear hate and greed

yes its worked so well the last eight years if your rich. No issues no hope for average people,If your only average your on your own.

GOP= Greed over people

[dafttool]

These "community organizer" criticisms are the most asinine the GOP have put forward. They somehow are trying to turn it into a dirty word, as if getting a community organized is a bad thing. Maybe it is if you are one of those power who are threatened if the people get together & start demanding their leaders be reponsive to their needs. The GOP act like community organizers are some sort of pinko commie hippie bastards. Community organizers are the PTA, United Way, Red Cross, Crime Watch, etc.

[JasonRadley]

Depends on the community. Trying to reform Chicago's black political community is like attempting open heart surgery with a rusty spoon. No wonder, Obama jumped ship and headed for the realms where his chameleon talents would be better appreciated.

[dafttool]

I imagine he found he could accomplish more by entering into politics. There are limitations to any community work, where after a time it becomes easier to just go to source of the funding (state & national legislatures).

[fishhead06]

Not one word of GOP policy - just hate, smear, and lies. Especially disgusting was when Giuliani mocked Obama's work as a community organizer and the crowd laughed and booed.

[ckerton1]

When have they cared about the poor.

[Smackdown5]

He(like everyone else) did not underscore their plans..., he was just bashing the democrats. It was more "hate" based to desperately get new voters to vote for them, after watching this, all the little respect I had for them is gone. Fear tactics (9/11) is showcased yet again in this convention by the same nazis that ripped the constitution apart. This convention is an epic fail... nothing constructive, only bashing. I do hope deep down they realize how fucked up their policies are.

[typhonsentra]

I might have to actually donate to Obama again. I was against it for a long time because of his softening on drilling but now that he seems to be back in the right direction and with the Republicans spewing hate it's time.

[jingo2148]

Yep, I donated to Obama again after seeing the disgusting vitriol spewed forth by the Republicans last night.

[JasonRadley]

A fool and his money... How much they bilk you for?

[misdirx]

yeah, what an asshole, he work as a community organizer, getting down in the shit and helping people lift themselves out of it...

giuliani and the republicans are a bunch of smacktards...

[RexVox]

Rudy Giuliani kicks ass!!! I love all of you wimpy whiny dems. You let your left-wing media pals do all of the dirty work for you. I've never seen a politician get attacked as brutally and as quickly as Sarah Palin has. What do you think we're gonna do...sit back and take it. Fuck you! I already know a bunch of lifelong dems who are voting for McCain.  And I live in left-wing New Jersey! How does it feel to know you picked a couple of losers again? President John McCain...get used to it!

[jingo2148]

In your dreams. Might wanna check those polls pal.

[ckerton1]

If you take what he said in this speech seriously then you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Stop commenting before you die from the shame you are bringing on yourself and your country.

[dafttool]

RexVox: "I've never seen a politician get attacked as brutally and as quickly as Sarah Palin has."

Really? Then you haven't seen Obama being called an unpatriotic Islamofascist terrorist. Then you didn't see McCain called a Manchurian Candidate by the Bushies in 2000. Then you didn't see Kerry swiftboated or Clinton called a murderer.

[tuluvlabelle]

I am a very saddened by the lack of respect and class the RNC showed last night toward Barack and every other community activist and leader out there fighting the hard fight for those at the bottom of the totem pole. The ONLY speaker last night that showed class, pose and intelligence in his speech was Mike Huckabee. The last thing we need is more cowboy-in your face leaders in the white house. And the speeches by Palin and Juliani showed that's exactly what we'll get if Mccain wins.

[Axcess123]

FUCK RUDY!!!!!!!!! he is showing how ignorant the republican party is these ppl arent listing to what he is saying there holding the signs for nothing did anyone see the interviews after on MSNBC those two women didnt kno what the fuck had happened, all they did was bash Obama not impressed at all, Fuck the sarah bitch soccer moms dont run countries, intelligence does republican dumb fucks

[BASEBALLAPPLEPIE]

Rudy has turned out to be the biggest turn off I have ever seen. He inspires HATE.

Also remind me of his lack of experience protecting his city.

RUDY quote "our greatest fears came true". Did nothing to prepare.

[Smackdown5]

lol, and this coming from a mayor who fucked up on 9/11 and shipped the remains of the WTC overseas so no investigation was possible. The NYC firefighters(god bless them) hate him. He just talks crap all the time... no wonder he had the worst campaign in presidential history. I would suggest to him, to check his facts and get a set of teeth that actually look realistic... this speech makes me sick....

[rodenthealer]

The VP speech and other leading speeches are supposed to be the "bulldog" speeches against the opposition. They don't call them "Red Meat" speeches for nothing. This allows the presidential candidate the opportunity to be less aggressive and more statesmanly. The democratic convention worked on the same model if you were watching. Remember, politics is a game, don't get sucked in to the rhetoric.

[SOLOAS]

an other killer

[bjm9282]

The entire RNC Convention has been a complete failure. I saw a lot of vitriol, but no substance. I saw a lot of Obama/Biden bashing, but no concrete plans. I talked to a lot of my independant friends who were incredibly turned off after last night's speeches. I also want to know who Palin thinks she is, coming out as a newcomer to the American public and being as nasty as she was last night?? What the hell? This crap worked 4 years ago, but not this year guys, sorry.

Obama/Biden '08!

[Axcess123]

exactly bro couldnt say it better

[vudufire]

Where did Rudy get those teeth...Cap night at yankee stadium!!!

[cutttheBS]

Rudy is talking about John war hero, can John do anything alse but go to war and fight, I guess we have Militery Generals to fill this position. Rudy told us Palin is populer, please do not sell this Country.

[vudufire]

The economy...the housing crunch...gas and energy plan,drill here drill now...drill.Where's the plan?? Seems the plan is to bash Obama!!! He said nothing...nothing! If you go for this..you were probably inspired by your h.s. princiable!!

[kinggerald05]

I loved how Rudy and Palin made fun of Obama as a community organizer in their speeches. What does a community organizer do anyway? Who do they help?

[ubuibiok]

kinggerald05-

Well during his activities as a Civil Rights attorney he started getting Community Groups to Organize in order to help them solve there Issues with the local Government. It was a lot faster and easer to address problems by having people talk to each other then to have them bad mouthing and opposing one another.

[dafttool]

kinggerald05: "What does a community organizer do anyway? Who do they help?"

Short answer, EVERYBODY. Community organizers are the PTA, United Way, Red Cross, Neighborhood Crime Watch, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Meals on Wheels, Homeless Shelters, church charities, MADD, Just Say No drug prevention, inner city revitalization groups, free AIDS testing, Boy's & Girl's Clubs, YMCA, YWCA, Habitat for Humanity, & etc etc. It's anytime people are brought together to help the community at large.

[benjapathic]

Let's also not forget that Rudy also made the same criticisms during his campaign that McCain also lacked executive experience.. etc.

[benjapathic]

Once again, complete distortions and lies. Rudy is arse-deep in corruption and conspiracy himself.. funny for him to criticize. Mocking Obama's service as a community organizer is pathetic.. besides.. Palin is touting her start was in the PTA.. nobody's mocking that.. right? lol

[leftyking500]

Giuliani should probably ask Obama how not to get slaughtered in the primaries.LMAO!!

[Valmom]

I am only 10 minutes into the video and I know that if Rudy would run for a President, he would be my Candidate!!! Go Rudy!!!

Go Republicans!!!

McCain/Palin 08!!!

[frankrnelson]

Rudy Guiliani is a human reptile. Beware of this slimy creature from the depths of Hell.

[thid1]

i watch these fat dumb idiots cheer at the most ridiculous statements and i want to give up.

the united states of dumerica.

sheep. sheep. sheep.

wake up little sheep. wake up.

[jdrules76]

You can make personal or childish attacks at Mayor Giuliani, but he told the truth and it hurts. I would rather someone mention 9/11 over and over again instead of blindly chanting "Yes We Can" or "Change". You folks want to forget about or gloss over 9/11, but it will never work. "... Hope is not a strategy"

[mguapo5]

Wow....which wife did he show up with? If you don't know what that means, do your homework!.....Credibility is out the window. Democrats 08!

[adventurousvictor]

911

[oldwykehamist]

As a former New Yorker and a former Republican, I was truly terrified by this speech. I used to respect this man a great deal when he was mayor, but it's clear that he's simply become a part of the negative attack machine.

[courageux28]

oldwykehamist your comment is the kind that interest me. What ever your reason to leave the Republican party, at least you can sense bullshit a mile away. Giuliani was promoting himself.

[oldwykehamist]

Thanks for your comment. People forget that the GOP was different in the past, even in the 90s. Republicans had some legitimate and vibrant ideas which could be debated in a civil manner on the level of policy. But it really is different now. It is a totally different party attack machine. There is no way in hell that I am ever voting for another Republican again--at least not until they cut the crap. But for this election, I'm voting straight-ticket DEM, no question.

[courageux28]

You're right. I remember feeling a sense of respect for the GOP when Reagan was in office. He was my commander in chief.

[php2hax]

What's the RNC without a hissing and spitting Giuliani. He's the only person in the convention to say the actual words NINE ELEVEN, solidifying the stereotype that Giuliani is a political snake. Amazing this guy can still try to politically capitalize on the deaths of thousands of Americans without a blink of remorse. Then again how many times has this man cheated on his wife? I've lost count at this point.

[jsampras3]

I like Rudy Guiliani's speeches better in the original German.

[eks56]

A champion ass hole. His own kids won't even have anything to do with him.

[esCX4600]

why do these guys want to win a war so bad, so that are ego isn't hurt. republicans can't let there ego's get hurt.

[scifiman2078]

For the same reason you want to live. Idiot!!!

[esCX4600]

Well then, lets just all fight each other. In fact, every country should just start fighting and not surrendering. If none of us surrendered, the entire world would be in one big constant war. That sounds great. It could be the end of humanity as we know it.

[RealCaptainAmerica]

Rudy's speech: "9/11, POW, 9/11. God hates poor people. Thank you."

[chumashfalcon]

This man is a court jester in the kingdom of greed.

[HaloedG]

I'll be damned if I watch 26 minutes of this ass-cake. Just tell me how many times he said 9-11.

[esCX4600]

I want to throw up on Rudy, and smear it in his eyes.

[esCX4600]

republicans are making me want to throw up.

[washmytoes]

i stopped listening to this guy when he went after ron paul in the debates a year ago and refused the notion of blowback.

[nelson3300]

i was just talking to my friend about that... who just will not concede! so annoying

[PharaohNineD]

My gawd tonight they created so many openings. I can't wait for McCain and Palin to make fools of themselves in the debates. I need to hear some body take advantage of all these openings.

Eight of getting their way and they don't remember any of it.

[Flipstaxx08]

wow giuliani talkin madd shit like hes runnin for president, his denchers almost fell out. FUCK GIULIANI, all he did in new york was clean the subways, im gunna be on the floor luaghin when obama strikes bak with all his witty punchlines, he runs circles around them when it comes to speaking

[lamouchemorte]

The laughing at Obama is very strange.

[killacamtay]

this was tough to listen too and when i heard drill baby drill i honestly couldn't believe it.

[Javy2727]

the same way republicans drilled holes in the constitution. drill baby, drill!!!!!

[nelson3300]

lol

[MMK13]

Umhm. Because its the Rep who are stomping the 2a. Barak - Illinois - Chicago - Daly - Pathetic

[sol3dg3]

Rudy's speech was about scaring people about terrorists and scaring people about Obama.

[nelson3300]

thats what rudy is good at :)

[wizann39]

When Bristol stands up during the speech, you can see that her breasts are wrapped. Is she lactating? Of course she is. It is true... she is pregnant with Baby #2 cuz mama Palin took her first baby. It will all come out. For real! It's not a rumor. It really is sick that Palin thought the world wouldn't figure it out. Canada even ran a national news story on it, but McCain says it's off limits. How many laws did Mama Palin break? Media please...drill, baby, drill.

[svennybob]

You can settle down Rudy. Your ass will still be there to wear as a hat after Obama wins. Obama's not ready? How the fuck is Sarah Palin?

[bachelormachines]

those chants of "drill baby drill" are among the most bone-chilling sounds i've ever heard.

[oscarvmaldonado]

watch?v=4IrE6FMpai8

[chicagodizzle]

Rudy Guilliani sounds like sylvester the cat. I always think he will spit out the words suffering sakatash!
