haha This is pretty amusing.

Rudy Giuliani said the other night, attacking Barack Obama's readiness to lead, rang a bell. Giuliani said:

...he's never run a city, never run a state, never run a business. He's never had to lead people in crisis.

Where had I heard that before? Why did it sound so familiar? And then I remembered the quote I used in one of the live blogging threads I put up Tuesday night. It was from Rudy Giuliani last year, attacking John McCain's readiness to lead. Giuliani said McCain:

...has never run a city, never run a state, never run a government. He has never been responsible as a mayor for the safety and security of millions of people...

Uh well gee! DEMS are never good at national defense. OBAMA has no record of doing anything & he won't commit to anything either. He doesn't have to for people to already know what they will get.

...and he's a DEM.

Maybe people want a strong national defense & know it won't come from an inexperienced DEM...yu think?

Excuse me but what does that have to do with Rudy Giuliani's speech?

What I MEAN is what REPS are saying has merit.

Like national security...for example.

Here's come republican merit for you...

Factcheck.org checked the accuracy of McCain’s speech accepting the Republican nomination and noted the following:

* McCain claimed that Obama’s health care plan would "force small businesses to cut jobs" and would put "a bureaucrat ... between you and your doctor." In fact, the plan exempts small businesses, and those who have insurance now could keep the coverage they have.

* McCain attacked Obama for voting for "corporate welfare" for oil companies. In fact, the bill Obama voted for raised taxes on oil companies by $300 million over 11 years while providing $5.8 billion in subsidies for renewable energy, energy efficiency and alternative fuels.

* McCain said oil imports send "$700 billion a year to countries that don't like us very much." But the U.S. is on track to import a total of only $536 billion worth of oil at current prices, and close to a third of that comes from Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

* He promised to increase use of "wind, tide [and] solar" energy, though his actual energy plan contains no new money for renewable energy. He has said elsewhere that renewable sources won’t produce as much as people think.

* He called for "reducing government spending and getting rid of failed programs," but as in the past failed to cite a single program that he would eliminate or reduce.

* He said Obama would "close" markets to trade. In fact, Obama, though he once said he wanted to "renegotiate" the North American Free Trade Agreement, now says he simply wants to try to strengthen environmental and labor provisions in it.
