The polling on the Republican 2012 field is just as schizo and crazy as the party itself. Huck, Willard, The Reality Show Guy, The Quitter and now Rudy — have all been the front-runner at one time or another.
Granted, Rudy’s stay atop the field isn’t going to last very long. At some point, it will occur to the Teabaggers that the thrice-married former Mayor of Jew New York City used to be pro-choice, pro-gay, pro-gun control — and other than 9/11 (which no one thinks is cool anymore) — has no rationale whatsoever for running for president.
But Rudy’s renaissance will be even briefer if he keeps saying stuff like this.
“Don’t tell me Republicans and Democrats can’t get along,” he quipped, to applause, before adding, “Just don’t tell that story in South Carolina. Otherwise I won’t stand a chance” in that early primary state.
Yeah.
Because if it’s one thing Republican primary voters want more than anything else, more than gutting the New Deal and taking a wrecking ball to the Great Society, more than making abortion a crime, more than cutting taxes for millionaires and corporations — it’s diligently working to find creative ways to “get along” and “work together” with the Kenyan Marxist Dictator in the White House, who’s hellbent on destroying America.
Good luck with that, Rudy!

I keep hoping we’ve heard the last of ol’ N-V-9/11, but like one of those children’s punching bags he just keeps popping back up.
and the reason for your anti-semitic use of the word jew being crossed out is?????
were it not for nearly 80% of American Jews voting democrat in 2008, obama is just another freshman senator running for reelection now…
How’s Mr. 9/11 going to compete with the man who killed Bin Laden?
In a wig and an evening gown. :)
Even during daytime appearances? How tacky.
Well, the Bush behaved as though stupidity were a virtue and the Republican Party faithfuls have simply taken up his banner and all ‘qualified’ presidential hopefuls are running with it. Hey, it worked for George.
He would have taken him alive — with his bare hands — and water-boarded the piss out of him. To keep us safer.
You’ve been really good lately, BT. Do you have a new muse, lol? Keep it up.
That’s what Southern wingnuts think of NYC.
My muse is the Tea-GOP. :)
Here he is helping Fujimora’s daughter get elected in Peru. What a guy.

Now, now. Southern wingnuts have no problem with Jews, provided they’re in Israel immanentizing the eschaton.
Heh.
Well, another site is quoting McCain saying Sarah can win….to justify his choice, I guess, and show again how insane he is. Looks like the choices will be….fascinating?
And they may secretly think Giuliani is a Jew as well (aka not a fundamentalist Christian) simply because he’s a former NYC mayor.
Wingnuts might be surprised to learn that there are many faiths here in NYC, Judaism, Catholicism, Islam, and that the NYC Jewish community is pretty awesome.
They want their Republicans purely evangelical. The wingnuts don’t even like Romney.
When in a man’s suit, he’s Rudy. When wearing his dress, he’s Ruby. Either way he won’t stand a chance once Psychlone Sarah blows into the race.
How many wives between Guiliani and Newt? And how can the republicans get past that?
The wingnuts don’t like Catholics either!
This mornings San Francisco Chronicle gave the following odds for presidential candidates:
Pawlenty 5:1
Rpmney 7:1
Huntsman 9:1
Palin 15:1
Gingrich 100:1
Giuliani 200:1
G. Johnson 1500:1
Santorum 5000:1
Paul 10,000:1
Bachman 10,001:1
Cain 50,000:1
(The article is in the print edition, but not the online edition.)
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out with 18 months to go.
It also quotes him saying, when asked about Paul’s Medicare proposal, “I don’t think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering.”
But he quickly backed off saying he “made a mistake” and “overstated” his views.
So, Gingrich was for it before he was against it. He wants to play it both ways. And the MSM lets him do it.
Get out the popcorn, it’s going to be a long and funny and interesting run-up to the 2012 election.
I’ve no doubt the Men and Women that make up FDNY will come out early and strong against a Guiliani candidacy – hopefully, toting fish rotting on a fishing pole any and everywhere Rudi 9/11 makes a public appearance.
That alone, ought to make quick work of his candidacy.
However, I would wager that his disaster capitalism spoils would find him ‘pullin’ a Palin’ to keep his name on the radar screen to keep the dollars rolling in.
Profits before people define this election cycle – sadly, for both parties and at the expense of the people.
