I hope I'm never held responsible for the actions of some of my relatives!
Persobnally I think he was a great Governor for New York. Period.
Good grief... Rudy Giuliani was MAYOR of New York City (a city of 8 million + people), but he was never GOVERNOR of the State of New York!
If you can't take the give and take on FR, then think very carefully before you post anything.
Who is your other senator? Rockefeller, isn't it?
You are correct my mistake. Thought one thing and typed another. Sorry about that, my apologies.
"Who is your other senator? Rockefeller, isn't it?"
We don't claim him. And all the candidates combined don't have enough money to unseat him. Daddy left him well off and he doesn't mind spending it to get elected. I remember one year he had spent something like $30 million to get elected senator.
May I ask what your point is in posting this information? Are you suggesting that anyone who has a father, or any other family member for that matter, who did anything wrong, should be ridiculed for what we refer to as the "sins of the father"?
Exactly, sitetest. I'm not on the Giuliani bandwagon but I can see a smear campaign as easily as the next intelligent person.
Right on. This is America. You don't have to do and be what your daddy was. You can, but you don't have to. How can he, or any of us, be responsible for what our ancestors (even near ones) did? Ever hear of ex post facto? Hmm?
Say what? Want to try again?
That is a terrible view of life you have. No room for a belief in the perfectability of man? We all enter this world with a bent toward sin as we all come from Adam, the sinner-in-chief, but God gave us a way out and many of us try to take it. Maybe Rudy took the way out? Looks to me like he did.
Something is cutting in West Virginia, isn't it. Y'all keep on sending Sheets Byrd back to Washington and will most likely continue to do so well after they wrap that sheet around him and prop up his dead useless ass in his senate chair. Not to mention that other engineer on the gravy train, Rockefeller. So don't go all high road and evangelical on me.
Just so long as that gravy train keeps on rolling through West Virginia, I do not believe it matters one whit to you who drives it.
Sir: You cannot buy what is not for sale. So don't try to hide behind Rockefeller's use of his money.
I agree with Ed on this point.
I hope Rudy goes away fast, I don't care how he is driven out, as long as he goes back to milking 9/11 as his main source of income and stays out of the limelight of national politics.
Personally I could care less about Rudy's 9-11 performance.
He is a liberal, that's all I need to know.
I hope there's no outbreak of anti-Italian news stories trying to tie Rudy and his relatives into organized crime. It was distressing when it was done to Geraldine Ferraro many years ago, when she was a VP candidate, and it would be a step backward to read such negative mudslinging now.
Many apologies. I've been out for awhile and not had the opportunity to respond to you. I never intended to paint with such a wide brush and suggest everyone with a less than ideal family is doomed. Many rise above their diversity and some even gain something positive from it.
Your father sounds like a very honorable man and a credit to our country. We need more like him.
Dear FreeInWV,
"Many apologies."
Accepted.
"I never intended to paint with such a wide brush and suggest everyone with a less than ideal family is doomed. Many rise above their diversity and some even gain something positive from it."
Mr. Giuliani went to college, to law school, became a federal prosecutor, put bad guys in jail, ran for mayor, did a credible job of it, and didn't do so badly on September 11.
Why would you think that this brush would paint him accurately? Why would you use this brush at all?
