…Head to Head Polls…

I am in wonderment as to why the MSM pays any attention to the Head to Head polls when we have not even finished the primaries. I know that it is fun for them to speculate and it makes news, but polls on this national level mean nothing. If I was to look at this logically why would we, as the republican party, want to send McCain up against Hillary. Politically it would be like a Brother and Sister running against each other for President of the U.S. Are we so blind that we cannot see that rotating chairs in Washington with people that have been their for so many years is not a good idea. Why do you think that the most successful coporations higher their CEO from outside unless they were groomed specicially for the role. This process would not take 30 years. OOOOOOOOh I forgot this is washington, not the real world…

The Julie Aunnie for Judy Taxi Service, While Married Comments — The Value of Name Recognition?

Right about the time I was expecting to hear repeated the “teflon” label given Reagan, this news hits. I was driving home today and heard Hewitt break this news and callers saying RG will get over this little speed bump. I hurried home to post the story, parked the car, kissed my wife, ran to the computer, and SCOOPED! Ann Marie got it done! So at the ABC story, I decided to read the comments (150 now) and had to skip a bunch — there sure are a lot of vulgar people in this world! I copied over some of the more interesting of the comments below. First though, it appears (is alleged), that Giuliani,

1) Misappropriated NYC funds and resources for his personal use.
2) Provided significant city resources for his then publicly unknown mistress while at the same time providing the same services for the wife to whom he was married.
3) Used obscure city financial accounts to bury or divert the NYC Police expenses ostensibly to hide them.
4) Billed the city for hotel stays that had no official government purpose.

So what does all this mean? You decide. Does this revelation really matter to the race? Have we gotten to the point in America that with a nod and wink we can easily dismiss major moral and ethical indiscretions? To get you started, check out these comments from the ABC blog. What are your comments? Please leave one below:

It appears as if Mayor Rudy Giuliani finally found the perfect match for him, for now. He changes women like he changes his mind, constantly. Posted by: sue from texas

Anyone really surprised? He’s a natural for the presidency w/ the current state of affairs. I’m sickened that he calls himself a republican, much less an American. As higher forms of life go, I’d rate him at just under STD’s, and just above the amoeba. Posted by: VeteranD

In this corner weighing in as most adulterous the current champions Bradgelina…in the other corner the challengers Rudyjudy….. and the winner is RUDYJUDY!!!!….Posted by: GM

Unfortunately, after Slick Willie’s time in the White House, there is no behavior that would be bad enough to scandalize a President (or Presidential Candidate) short of murder. Everything that would have been a scandal in the past is simply dismissed as normal behavior from a politician…Posted by: Nathan

Simple Question for Giuliani: “Did Judi Nathan receive city-paid security or transportation in 2000, when you were still married to Donna Hanover?” Posted by: D

Bye bye Rudy!! We hardly knew ya!!!! Posted by: Mrzip

Clinton’s scandals seems positively silly compared to the flagrant abuse of power and contempt for the taxpayer on display here. Posted by: mk

How much did Bill Clinton’s mistress Monica cost the taxpayers? Bill Clinton set the moral standards for us. Who cares about Rudy’s escapades? Posted by: Caryl M

Wow, Romney comes under heat for his religion, yet Giuliani is leading a polygamist life with two “wives” under security, simultaneously. Posted by: bill henry

What happened to “America’s Mayor”? Isn’t he a man who prides himself on being on top of everything and in the know? If he can’t explain the accounting of his personal expenses on the city’s tab, how does he think that he’s equipped to be president? Posted by: Brooklynite

“America was stupid enought to elect Slick Willie - TWICE so what’s the fuss about? At least Rudy wasn’t caught in the White House or Mayors Office.”

No, he was not caught in the mayor’s office. That’s the whole point. He was taking his adultery on the road, at taxpayer expense. Posted by: Alvin

This is one CONSERVATIVE who’s totally disgusted by Rudy. I have been very disappointed in my party for supporting this man. He’s dishonest, obviously, and isn’t a conservative. Unethical behavior is bad no matter which side of the aisle you’re on! Posted by: Oink

When the Democratic New York State Controller was caught improperly having his wife chauffeured around at state expense he was forced from office. Do we have a double standard here? Posted by: evan500

If this was about Clinton, this would be the top story for, oh, about a year. Posted by: Clay

There IS a God. Posted by: LeeO

But…..but……Pat Robertson backed him. Let’s hear what Pat Robertson has to say now. [cue crickets] Posted by: Your Conscience

Rudy is a piece of dirt and he always was. Sure NYC was better but remember a vibrant economy and a crime bill that put 100,000 new cops on the street was as much a factor as his tough gestapo like tactics. Mayor Bloomberg has improved the city without treating minorities like dirt as Giuliani did. His own family doesn’t like them. That should tell you all you need to know. Posted by: Jeff

Remeber Dukakis in the tank? Wait until all the transvestite pics of Rudy appear. He’s toast - time to start looking for a different serial adulterer. Posted by: Larry

Rudy: Against-publicly funded health care For- publicly funded adultery. Posted by: weelzup

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT….WHEN MOST PEOPLE DIAL 9-1-1 THEY HAVE THE OPTION OF AN AMBULANCE. WHEN “SHE” DIALS 9-1-1 SHE GETS A TAXI !!!!! DOES RUDY KNOW HOW TO IMPRESS HIS MISTRESS OR WHAT? Posted by: tomcat27834

so tell me………….when will Rudy REFUND the taxpayers of New York for his sexual escapades? Mr. 9/11 should donate every dime of the TENS-OF-MILLIONS made on speaking engagments off the backs of grieving New Yorkers………….This guy has no shame. Posted by: tomcat27834

Rudy had a duty not to squander NYC’s scarce public resources. It is shameful; among other destinations his creative bookkeepers found for these expenses were an agency that provides legal services to the indigent. He is very unpopular in NYC and I’ve no doubt that sources within the government will unearth other venal revelations. Posted by: AG

Apparently she was shopping for clothing for the cross-dressing Rudy Julie Annie. Posted by: Bill Hicks

and of course the new voice for the christian right supports him. pat (I never saw a corrupt person I didnt like) Roberston. Posted by: gary

Mud slinging? Anyone that cheats with someone and cheats on someone will more than likely be a cheat in general. Posted by: London

Giuliani is done. Posted by: mikeVA

Giuliani is the typical New York politician. A crook. And he says he will cut the waste in Washington. Well, what’s going to happen when he gets bored with wife #3? Does mistress #4 get a secret service escort and a bullet proof car that comes with a police motorcade? You know, with the security concerns surrounding Giuliani, it might be a necessary expense!! Security concerns! I’m sick of these pols wasting my tax money. Romney, you have my vote!! Posted by: Spencer

Rudy believes we are all stupid and he can shrug this stuff off with an “I didn’t know anything about it”. If he didn’t know he is too careless and clueless to be President. And Kerik is only another part of this iceberg wreck. Follow the money and look at Rudik’s partner’s, lawsuits [Google], and you’ll fine more, more, more. He is patently dishonest and secretive and would continue to damage our country on every level possible. His dishonesty is spectacularly obvious. Posted by: morris1030

He needs to be confined in a room with a view. You know! JAIL Posted by: joe

I have tremendous and abiding faith in our form of government. America truly is the example in all the world of liberty, freedom, and hope. Corruption has always existed in various ways in this nation, hence the reason our founding parents devised checks and balances that work. One of those “checks” is a free press. Why a free press? For no other reason than to simply expose and reveal corruption among the powerful. It is that basic. Mr. Giuliani was granted power by the citizens of his city and he crossed the line many times in his abuse of power. Character does matter. This has nothing to do with mistakes or being too busy to see details or any of that. This is all about character and judgment. As I have said in this blog before, once Giuliani begins to spend his money to catch Governor Romney in the early states, it would be the beginning of the end of his campaign. That spending started this week. What was revealed today will only hasten the end for this man. There is still more to reveal. Name recognition will only carry you so far.

Police Taxi Service provided for Judy by Rudy during extramarital affair…(while wife was already receiving same services).

Rudy and Judy sitting in a tree…
—–>From ABC News’s The Blotter

Quote:

Well before it was publicly known he was seeing her, then-married New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani provided a police driver and city car for his mistress Judith Nathan, former senior city officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

“She used the PD as her personal taxi service,” said one former city official who worked for Giuliani.

New York papers reported in 2000 that the city had provided a security detail for Nathan, who became Giuliani’s third wife after his divorce from Donna Hanover, who also had her own police security detail at the same time.

Doesn’t it just make more sense to go with the man with the Experience, Leadership, Family Values, and Character that will serve our country above reproach?

Romney and Family
