Rudy's Got Balls

Today, Republican Candidate Rudy Guiliani stated that if a democrat were elected in the 08 elections, another terrorist attack would occur. He stated that if a republican were elected, they would stay on the offensive and anticipate an attack. He didn't necessarily state whether he would keep troops in the Middle East, but he did say that Democrats do not understand the threat posed by terrorists. Democrats blasted Guiliani on the comments he made. Senator Barack Obama stated that using the terrorists attacks to create a punchline for a political attack is uncalled for. He believes that the public will not buy into Guiliani's statements. Finally, quoting Senator HIllary Clinton, protecting the country from terrorism "shouldn't be political football." Senator John Edwards said that Guiliani knows better than to claim that there is a "superior republican way to fight terrorism." It is somewhat true because it was a Republican regime that led out country into the war with Iraq. It made us feel less safe from Al Qaida who continue to send tapes to America. Sending our troops and reporters to the Middle East has done nothing but up the death toll and now, the Republican regime is trying to send more troops in to Iraq to finally "end the war" which has gone on for more than 4 years. Although Rudy was there at the 9/11 attacks, he can't possibly think that being a republican helped him through the hard times and being a repulican sure didn't prevent the attacks from happening either. This attack on the democrats gives Rudy minus points to the public and to me. No matter how brave and honorable you were during the biggest terrorist attack on our country, using it to bash other candidates and using the fear of the American public to pick up more votes is not honorable.
