Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

posted by on September 3 at 19:01 PM

Yeah, yeah: USA, USA. McCain has passed every test—except that picking-your-VP test. He kind of botched that one.

For those of you cringing at home, they crowd is chanting “Zero! Zero! Zero!” whenever Obama is alluded to, mentioned, slammed, slimed, or misrepresented. Rudy is slamming Obama for voting “present” a number of times as a member of the Illinois state legislature. To vote present, though, you have to at least show up—something John McCain doesn’t seem that interested in doing.

Rudy: “Barack Obama has never lead anything. Nothing. Nada.”

Crowd: “Zero! Zero! Zero!”

Rudy: [cackles]

Wonder how this is playing with those minority voters the GOP has worked so hard to attract over the last eight years? Or were all those photos ops with black schoolchildren all for nothing?

Now about Obama opposing the surge… so did the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Iraq Study Group, General Casey, General Abizaid, and, um, Condoleeza Rice.

Can you get close enough to slap him, Dan?

Community organizers are the root of every political movement. I wonder how many Republican community organizers just passed a porcelain turd...

They could well overplay their "snark" card tonight.

Giuliani is a snide hag.

Wow, Rudy, you are quite the oozing asshole, aren't you?

It's insulting.

Let's not forget the ripping off of taxpayers and investors to reward his Party Elite comrades - Red Bushies are good at that.

That and cheating on their wives and marrying their mistresses who they then cheat on and marry and then cheat on and ...

"Barack Obama has never led anything...nada...nada...nothing."

That's interesting because I feel he's leading me, in the context of being the man I want overseeing my nation.

I have to say, this kind of fifth-grade ridiculing is borderline racist.

Obama is a big nobody with zero achievements who is where he is because stories like his happen "only in America"?! Racist, I'm telling you. He's making a "covert" affirmative action accusation here: behold Obama, a man without merit, rising through the ranks because of the liberal chaos the democratic party is in.

Rudy, I used to have respect for you. No more.

@5, I was just going to say that. I'm listening on the radio, and not only is it a flat speech - if it weren't at a political convention, everyone would be asleep - he sounds like he's wearing ill-fitting dentures.

Change is not a destination, and hope is not a stragtegy....WHAT?!?!?

Newsflash:
The liberal media and lefty celebrities are not part of the American people deciding this election.

Being a community organizer you never have to lead or help people in crisis.

McCain's senatorial experience makes him presidential, but Obama isn't ready because his senatorial experience and running a kick-ass campaign, etc. aren't presidential training.

Got it.

I think I'm breaking out in hives.

Increase government.

Increase jobs in Red China.

Yup, that's the GOP.

His Iraq stuff reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw recently: "Peace through Victory."

Don't the liberals know Iraq is the 57th state?

BOO

Honestly, it's like a pantomime. I'm waiting for them to start chanting "He's behind you!"

Wow, Giuliani is really a dick. I realize that's no news flash, but . . . wow.

Also, I think Cindy McCain is about to eat that baby.

They seriously pan to the minorities every time they mention Obama's name.

Just to being fair and balanced.

Giuliani just called called us all sexist. Nevermind that no one's saying it because she's a woman...but because she JUST had a baby.

To all the liberals on here you all are mental midgets.

You are so angry that Rudy kicked Obama's ass from New York City to small town middle America.

What you liberals can't take it? You cant take your boy getting his ass kicked so bad FEMA needs to be called in to help?

How did you feel when everyone in the liberal media attacked Palin, attacked her Family, attacked her 17 year old, and disgustingly used her handicapped baby to create a rumor?

That is okay though huh? Woo Hoo go liberals. Lets frigging use a handicapped infant to start a rumor. We are the classy party.

You people make me sick!


Why don't you do a little research on Biden and post your findings. 1988 scandal that made him drop out of the election. How about this ethics violations?

Ask yourself this morons. If Biden was so great how come he got his ass kicked in the primaries? Before he dropped out he was getting less than 2% of the votes.

No, yeah, that's cool, Scott. You keep on doing your thing, man. Just don't expect to sway a lot of people here.

Memo to Rudy: Did you really say that the democrats didn't bring up 9/11 ENOUGH at their convention? Seriously? Look, I know you haven't got anything else, but it's really just gauche to dine out on the violent deaths of 2,000+ people for seven years. Think about that, okay?
