Republican Rudy Giuliani said Thursday that people should "leave my family alone" when asked by a New Hampshire woman why the presidential candidate should expect loyalty from voters when he doesn't get it from his children.

Giuliani said calmly and quietly. "The best thing I can say is kind of, 'leave my family alone, just like I'll leave your family alone.'"

No ... as POTUS you would have direct effect on my family and questions about your family history have a direct bearing on your moral an ethical makeup which affect me directly.

When Rudy Giuliani says "leave my family alone" he is really saying, "Stop revealing my screwed up personal life!"

Julie Annie is merely asking the questioner to do the same thing that he did: “Leave his family, alone.”

Okay, Rooty, we'll leave your kids alone (snicker).

============================================

Just tell us, Rooty.

Where's your third wife, Jooty? How come she's not campaigning with you, Rooty?

How long has Jooty been a registered Republican, Rooty?

When you ran for Mayor, did Jooty vote for you, Rooty?

Did Jooty vote for GWB, Rooty?

"I love my family very, very much and will do anything for them. There are complexities in every family in America," Giuliani said calmly and quietly.

ROFL! Yep, those extra-marital affairs can be very complex. As can the public court fights for divorce. Not to mention the (alleged) pedophile priest (and Rudy's best friend) having to work the Vatican to get an annulment. So many complexities for America's Ex-Husband! Life is truly tough! (Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!)

But, but, but: “Rudy Can’t Fail”

How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don’t you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking booze for breakfast
Rudy can’t fail

So we reply
I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can’t live in service
Like the doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudy can’t fail

I went to the market
To realize my soul
Cause what I need
I just don’t have it
First they curse
Then they press me ‘til I hurt
We say Rudy can’t fail

We hear them sayin’
Now first you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a savior
Oh Rudy can’t fail

We reply
Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin’ cool an’ a speckless
We been drinking booze for breakfast
So Rudy can’t fail

Okay
So where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man
You’re looking pretty smart
In your chicken skin suit

You think you’re pretty hot
In your pork pie hat
But Rudy can’t fail
Look out, look out

Rooty said, "I love my family very, very much and will do anything for them......"

..........muttering under his breath: "Especially now .....when I'm in a bind, and I need those dumb pro-family Christian conservatives to vote for me. "

"Man, I'd even ditch my third wife and remarry my cousin if that will help me get my hands on all that US government power............"

" P-u-u-l-e-e-z-e make me look conservative."

Man, they're killing me on FR just b/c I had three wives, several mistresses,
was honored by NARAL, donated to Planned Parenthood, marched
for gay rights under the NAMBLA banner, and appointed
gays and pedophiles to top city jobs."

"Sheesh. And my stupid advisors told me I didn't need those dumb,
pro-family Christian conservatives to make a primary showing."
