Slog - Comments on Reichert to Chair Giuliani's Campaign in Washington State... http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/reichert_to_chair_giulianis_campaign_in ... and The Democrats sent out this weird, mish-mash, attack press release. I'm all for attack dog politics, but this seems pretty slap-dash. For starters, Reichert wasn't even in the Congress during the Clinton impeachment. Anyway: SEATTLE – Washington State Republican Dave Reichert announced today that he is endorsing the Presidential Campaign of former New York City Mayor and playboy Rudy Giuliani. Reichert will serve as Chairman of Giuliani’s campaign in Washington State, and will serve as national co-chairman of “Law Enforcement for Rudy.” Giuliani has himself shown a blatant lack of regard for conviction or personal behavior. “Rudy Giuliani...

My guess is he's fine with it.

Giuliani was in fact cheating on his wife during the impeachment. His wife found out she was getting a divorce from a Rudy press conference.

Took all the credit, even though they didn't actually do anything to help. Even though their actions and policies before the event hindered actual work by on-the-street public safety workers. Supported blantantly corrupt appointees, then tried to dump the blame on their innocent successors for those creeps when they were caught.

A perfect pair! Giuliani-Reichert '08!

Read it again Fnarf. Pelz's comment is directed a Reichert. He says: "The hypocrisy of Republicans like Reichert promoting Giuliani is enormous. The GOP tried to impeach a President for his personal affairs, at the same time Rudy Giuliani was cheating on his wife."

So, Reichert is supposedly a hypocrite for supporting someone who had an affair because the GOP went after Clinton. Again, Reichert wasn't part of that witch hunt. (Technically, anyway.) It's sloppy is all.

Like all the other multiple offenders who call themselves GOP.

Rudy is doing well in polls against Democrats because he says (a) we are at war with terrorists and the Democrats don't have an answer and (b) I can lead because I fixed up NYC.

The Democratic Party press release has no substantive response. They have no no real position, just make personal attacks based on a pseudo-adoption of right wing christian family values -- being against "cheating" or divorce.

Huh??? The Party of FDR and JFK is against cheating ???
How does it help Democrats or our nation to go around criticizing candidates for cheating & getting divorced? Is the Democratic party now for limiting divorce because breaking your vows shows character flaws?
Totally stupid gutter BS, the press release builds no message, no program, no policy. It's why many people just hate politics. If you can't attack Rudy on the issues, and there is plenty of reason to do so, just shut up.
