Giuliani Loses my Vote

Politico

Giuliani was the last Republican candidate I would have considered voting for. Well he lost my vote when he basically said voting for the Democrats in 2008 will lead to more terrorist attacks. This is the kind of argument I expect to hear from a high school drop-out, not someone who deserves to be president. Islamic fundamentalists don't attack because they "hate freedom". Of course, if they hated freedom, maybe we should vote Republican so that the Democrats don't give us more freedom by "[cutting] back on the Patriot Act, electronic surveillance, interrogation".

In anycase, Obama gets brownie points for his reply, "Rudy Giuliani today has taken the politics of fear to a new low and I believe Americans are ready to reject those kind of politics. America’s mayor should know that when it comes to 9/11 and fighting terrorists, America is united. We know we can win this war based on shared purpose, not the same divisive politics that question your patriotism if you dare to question failed policies that have made us less secure. I think we should focus on strengthening our intelligence, working with local authorities and doing all the things we haven't yet done to keep Americans safe. The threat we face is real, and deserves better than to be the punchline of another political attack."
