The truth about Rudolph Giuliani is that he has been part of the long and torturous record of Republican failure. The agenda that Giuliani has supported has made mistake after mistake after mistake, and we have all paid the price, as we watch America descend into a shameful position in the world. Who would have thought, ten years ago, that the USA could be so humbled?
Take, for instance, the Iraq War. Rudolph Giuliani has stood side by side with George W. Bush through blunder after blunder, always spouting the Republican Party line. Aftter all this time, Giuliani still can't admit that he was wrong. Giuliani still claims that it was a great idea to start the war in Iraq, and he wants the war to continue.
Giuliani's economics are equally as repugnant. He stands in favor of tax breaks for powerful corporations and millionaires, while the rest of us pick up the bill for their extravagant lifestyle. Should we be grateful to work as their servants? That's the Giuliani vision of economic success for America.
On issue after issue, Rudy Giuliani sides with right wing extremists like James Dobson and Jerry Falwell on social issues like marriage rights and cutting away support for public education. Giuliani sides with the bigoted and the intolerant.
On issues like torture and the assault on America's tradidional democratic values of liberty, justice and equality, and on terrible anti-freedom laws like the Military Commissions Act, Giuliani's presidential campaign refuses to talk. Rudolph Giuliani refuses to come clean.
We voters deserve straight answers from Rudolph Giuliani on these issues, but Giuliani won't come clean.
Rudolph Giuliani is trying to spin his record to depict himself as a new kind of Republican, but the truth is that he's the same old kind of Republican. Failure, intolerance, authoritarianism, and deception. That's the real Giuliani way.
