At Tuesday's Republican presidential debate in Dearborn, Mich., home of Ford Motor Co., the once-thriving automaker that lost $12.7 billion last year (the fifth year of the Bush expansion), rhetorical fireworks erupted between the two Republican front-runners - former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who leads in the national polls, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who leads in Iowa and New Hampshire. Both candidates battled over their tax and spending records. On the spending front, Mr. Giuliani charged that "under Governor Romney, spending went up in Massachusetts per capita by 8 percent; under me spending went down by 7 percent." Mr. Romney immediately countered, citing analysis by the Club for Growth, whose anti- spending and anti-tax credentials are impeccable. "They said my...
After two rounds of invitations, we've received two rejections - from former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Giuliani has got some bigger fish to fry, apparently, and is so busy that he's got not just one but two scheduling conflicts that render him unable to grace our stage. I understand the 2008 presidential campaign is already underway - well before elections of the past - but it's not as if we're holding our convention in midst of the primary season. As Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama start their jostling for the Black vote, Giuliani and Romney appear to have written us off even through their party's sitting leader - President George W. Bush - saw fit to include us on his calendar - three times since he took office in 2001. Bu...
While describing Mukasey as "distant from the circles of power," The Forward explained that the successor to the discredited Alberto Gonzales displayed "a strong record in judging terrorism cases, full support for Bush's post-9/11 USA PATRIOT Act ["Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism"] and-having first been proposed by New York Democrat Charles Schumer-a seeming promise of easy Senate confirmation." (Schumer also was an enthusiastic backer of the nomination as homeland security chief of Bernard Kerik, the recently indicted former Giuliani chauffeur and business partner.) When Mukasey's nomination stalled after he refused to say whether he considered waterboarding a form of torture, Schumer was one of only two Dem...

Don't dismiss the national polling Okay, so they told us that Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani would be their respective party nominees, and offered nothing in the way of real predictive value about how the candidates would fare a year and a half before Election Day. The Obama campaign in particular denounced national numbers, saying they were, as they had been in the primaries, measures of a broad, elusive mood that bore no relation to the actual mechanisms or people (such as proportionally divided delegates) who would pick the nominee and, later, the president.
DEARBORN, Mich. (MCT) -- Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney traded the sharpest shots of the campaign Tuesday night over who's the bigger tax-cutter, with Romney dismissing one Giuliani claim as "baloney" and the ex-mayor saying flatly, "I led, he lagged. Their testy and at times even personal tone threatened to overshadow the debate debut of Fred Thompson, who likely quieted critics of his early campaign stumbles with a sure-footed if hardly flashy performance.
[Rudolph Giuliani] has got some bigger fish to fry, apparently, and is so busy that he's got not just one but two scheduling conflicts that render him unable to grace our stage. I understand the 2008 presidential campaign is already underway - well before elections of the past - but it's not as if we're holding our convention in midst of the primary season. Giuliani may have served as the top government official of the nation's largest and most diverse cities, but that doesn't mean he's obliged to address the issues near and dear to his former constituents' hearts. It's so ironic that America's Mayor would turn down an invitation to speak in front of the nation's largest organization devoted to urban issues. But then again, he cannot possibly depend on us to pull him through to victory ...
NEW YORK, March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The list of candidates continues to fluctuate and one year from now the Republican nominee will most likely be set. But, at this point, there is clearly no front-runner in the race for that nomination. Among all adults, assuming these candidates were in the Republican primary election, 10% would each vote for Mitt Romney and Donald Trump, while just under that would vote for Mike Huckabee (8%), Rudy Giuliani (8%) and Sarah Palin (7%). Five percent or less would vote for Newt Gingrich (5%), Tim Pawlenty (2%), Michele Bachmann (2%), Mitch Daniels (2%), Rick Santorum (1%) and Haley Barbour (less than 1%). Almost half of all Americans (45%) are not at all sure who they would vote for in the Republican primary. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh...
ARE WE A NATION of irrational wimps? Rudy Giuliani thinks so. Last week, he claimed that if we elect a Democrat to the presidency, we should expect more Sept. 11-style attacks. This, he assumes, is enough to scare the pants off the voting public and send them scurrying frantically to support Republicans such as ... well, Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani's line of argument though "argument" is too generous a word isn't new. Since Sept. 11, our political leaders have proceeded on the assumption that Americans are cringing, cowardly souls more than ready, when we hear the word "terrorism," to suspend our critical capacities, mortgage our futures and jettison our civil liberties and our principles all for impossible assurances of "safety.
