Fascist Rudy Giuliani. More dangerous than Bush.

[Dr.Phool]

This supposedly "social moderate" is more dangerous than the chimp. He sounds just as stubborn, but a lot smarter and sneakier. Therefore, more dangerous. I hope he gets blown out of the race early.

Still more extraordinary anti-democracy comments from Giuliani

(updated below - updated again)

Over the weekend, it was revealed by National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru that Rudy Giuliani believes that, as President, he would have the power to imprison American citizens without any sort of review of any kind, and Giuliani stated he hoped to exercise that power only "infrequently" (Mitt Romney said he'd have to convene a team of "smart lawyers" before he could answer). That Giuliani expressly believes that, as President, he can exercise (and apparently intends to exercise, though just "infrequently") one of the most tyrannical and un-American powers there is received notice only in the blogosphere, but not in any national media outlets.

Now, NR's Rich Lowry, who attended a Giuliani event in New Hampshire last night, reveals statements made by Giuliani explaining his views of presidential war powers that are at least as extremist and disturbing as the ones revealed this weekend:


Rudy to Bush: Ignore Congress?

Rudy was asked about the Iraq supplemental. He said he finds it "irresponsible and dangerous." Then he began to muse about, after a veto, "would the president have the constitutional authority to support them , anyway?" He said he's a lawyer so he wouldn't offer an opinion "off the top of his head," then he proceeded to do just that.

He seemed to suggest that Bush could fund the Iraq war without Congress providing funding, but it was confusing. In an interview with a New Hampshire TV reporter after his remarks, he seemed more categorical and said, since the war had been authorized by Congress, the president has "the inherent authority to support the troops." But he added, "You have to ask a constitutional lawyer."

I can just imagine. The constitutional lawyer he's consult would probably be Ann Coulter. As a former federal prosecutor, he should know better. Another power-hungry opportunist.

1. He's more articulate than *

and can fake sincerity. That's what makes him dangerous. * is a very poor liar and it's easy to see though him.

2. We need to impeach Bush and resind the Patriot Act

or the next Dictator-in-Chief will be worse than the last one. Hope we do it before it's too late.

3. that guy's just too dirty to appeal to the masses. Verrry easy to

show the many, many chinks in his armor.

6. You have got to be kidding me.

A completely inarticulate and obviously insincere, drunken, coke-snorting child of privelege who went AWOL and pretended to convert to Christianity and obviously smirks after every statement, wondering if it went over with the suckers, an obvious fool who is proud of his ignorance and stubborness, a total sicko like that could never be president. Too much dirt! A guy who made jokes about executing a woman? A guy who executed 163 prisoners but pardoned only one, who happened to be the worst serial killer in history (Henry Lee Lucas) - too much dirt! Could never become president!

They can engineer the "right" image for anyone. There is never reason for complacency.

4. Remember how Rudy wanted to do away with the election in NY

and become the dictator of NYC?

7. Rudy's attempt to establish open dictatorship

Sept. 11 is also election day for primary contests across the United States, including the mayoral primary in New York City. This is postponed because of the attacks. A week later, Mayor Giuliani, saying he is the only man who can lead New York during the crisis, proposes he stay in office three months past the end of his term, in violation of the city's charter. If he does not get his way, Rudy threatens to push for an immediate repeal of term limits so that he can run again. Republican candidate Michael Bloomberg and one of the two Democratic primary candidates, Mark ("Spineless") Green, say they are ready to accept Il Duce's idea. Fernando Ferrer, the other Democratic candidate, refuses the deal and stares Rudy down, forestalling the establishment of New York City's first open dictatorship. Green edges out Ferrer in the rescheduled primary, amid allegations of vote fixing. Bloomberg reaches into his own pocket for a 15 million dollar ad blitz during the last week of the campaign and takes the general election from Green, amid allegations of vote fixing. Count Rudy returns to his crypt, to await his next chance.
