Rudy Giuliani's ties to Fox News

What do I see in/on American news? what's wrong with Obama - what's wrong with Edwards - what's wrong with Clinton ... not much coverage on what's wrong with any Republican candidate. It's apparently not the American way.

Very odd to watch from north of the border, where looking at all candidates' positions and political backgrounds is a given.

i don't understand how democracy is supposed to work if we can't find out anything about the candidates because everyone is keeping quiet.

i assume that foofie believes he supports our system of voting, but then maybe anything goes. if his cherished american leaders decided that it was jews, not muslims, that needed to be sorted into/out of gitmo, it's interesting to think that he would just sit there and occasionally tell people not to be critical. at least, i may have asked, but i don't remember him saying anything to the contrary.

Odd isn't it that so much critical material about Guliani is being quoted here - on this thread - from our media?

You can relax in the secure knowledge of the continued perfection of all things Canadian.

Barely anything negative is being talked about in your media about your Republican candidates. Nothing new, though there should be.

Canada is not perfect. I'd never suggest such a thing.

The by's given to some politicians for their political actions/positions would be a no-go in some other countries - Canada included. On the flip-side, the attention paid to American politicians' personal lives is bizarre (read any dlowan rant on the subject - good stuff).

I get the belief that I should not criticize the President, regardless of his/her policies, or political party, because, I believe in Americanism as the driving force in the country's history.

If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Perhaps you don't read/watch enough.

Just a week after the indictment of former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, Olson said Giuliani had shown "the wisdom and humility to surround himself with talented, dedicated and energetic people" as mayor.

I just hope that the American media has the courage to follow the story.

Their right-of-centre focus makes them a bit too worried about their cup, not their balls.



bernmeister: have you been down to the library to pick up any of the Giuliani biographies? some juicy reading in the few that are out there - in comparison to Ms. Clinton's background as a Young Republican and blah blah blah (she's a bit of a drab hen in comparison in comparison to Mr. Giuliani's battling cockatoo).

It doesn't matter that they follow it now. All the crap on Giuliani will come out before the general election if he gets the nominee and nearly guarantee the election of the Democratic nominee.

I consider it one of his two or three admirable qualities.

...let's deal with the reality of where Jews are: Everywhere! Let's not pretend Jews can morph into some other group, for you to make a point.

Your hypothetical scenario of Jews in gitmo is not based in the reality that Judaism has no concept of Jihad.

You should have said "it were Jews." Is your writing an indication of the quality of your thought?

I've told no one to be critical nor uncritical. I only state my OWN philosophy of non-criticalness towards our heads of state.

Are you arguing with a phantom Foofie...
