Rudy does make quite a 'living' giving self esteem speeches. And Rudy did leave behind a very 'honest' New York City financial world center.
See Liz it is conservatives, 'you know' the 'value voters' who know there are but few things 'left' to compromise between a liberal lite and the self admitted full liberal package. Both liberal lites and full blood liberals methodologies require society as a whole to PAY for what others play. And yet who is the center of the blame for Rudy not getting elected, why it is those stupid 'values voters' for being 'purists' and stuck in times gone bye.
I think the moderate we are above it all crowd are going to have to have their noses rubbed deep in the Animal Farm methodology before they discover what the word values actually means.
CREDIT LINE Many thanks for the Animal Farm analogy. I've extrapolated your reference to the state of the state as "Animal Farm" many times. As Orwell wrote: some Animals are more equal than others.
ANIMAL FARM REDUX Government whores like Giuliani make us look more like Animal Farm----rather than a democracy. "Animals" get govt perks privileges and free passes-----at the expense of us peon taxpayers.
Our "rule of law" is the thing that distinguishes America from Third World hellholes. The pig-like Animals squeal with delight while decimating the rule of law. Animals declare our laws to be meaningless.
Giuliani and company were toilet-trained at The School of Whatever Works For Me----but they still make smelly messes that peon taxpayers are forced to clean up.
Actually when Rooty was prosecuting Wall Street ------ almost all of his cases fell apart----Millkin and Boesky are among the very few who went to jail.
