Rudy Giuliani: A Liberal's Worst Nightmare

Posted September 20, 2007 - 10:25am by Will Hinton

I think we are finally seeing the end-game of the Karl Rove strategy to make Republicans unelectable.

I'm reading this morning about Rudy Giuliani's radio ads that are running in Iowa.

"MoveOn.org is the most powerful left-wing group in the country. They spent millions electing anti-war liberals. And publicly brag how the Democratic Party is theirs — bought and paid for. Why is MoveOn attacking Rudy Giuliani? Because he’s their worst nightmare."

“They know Rudy is a Republican who can beat the Democrats. And they know, no matter what they say — Rudy will never, ever back down.”

Senate Republicans obstruct the people's business

After being denied a single vote in the House of Representatives by a filibuster, I wasn't surprised to see that Senate Republicans also filibustered (and killed) restoring habeas corpus to terrorism suspects and extending home leave for troops serving in Iraq.

Although it has hurt my cause, I generally support the filibuster. I think it is an ingenious way to ensure against 'tyranny of the majority' that r.johnson always rattles on about.
