Rudy Giuliani Scolds 'View' Audience When He's Booed For Criticizing Obama
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani took on the ladies of "The View" along with their highly-partisan audience Wednesday in a post-election discussion about Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, and healthcare reform.
So strongly did most of those in attendance disagree with Giuliani that he ended saying "You don't get it" when they booed him for criticizing the President (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):
RUDY GIULIANI: There is nothing to be scared about. Let the American people decide. There was an article in Politico a couple of days before the election, and this was mostly Republicans, and the cowardly ones, you know, who don't speak for attribution, and they are very afraid that Sarah Palin is going to run and going to do everything they can to stop her. They may even say destroy her. These are Republicans saying that. And how about letting the Republican Party decide? Let her run. If she's as bad as you think, she'll lose. If she can really, if she can really make her case, she will, she will win.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So, do you think she actually has a case? What is it?
GIULIANI: Yeah, sure she does.
GOLDBERG: I would like, I would like to know what it is.
GIULIANI: I don't want to get you all, you know, down on me, but the reality is she's got a hell of a lot more qualifications than Barack Obama had when he ran for president.
JOY BEHAR: Oh, come on.
[Audience boos]
[…]
BARBARA WALTERS: You know how sometimes our hosts walk out? Say this again, our audience will walk out.
[Applause]
GIULIANI: Your audience, your audience is suffering from something that the President may be suffering from and that is the inability to see the rest of America from being, having a warped view in New York.
[Audience boos]
[…]
GIULIANI: The reality is, as an expert on healthcare, having run those hospitals, this bill is a disaster. It’s a disaster. 65 percent of the American people agree with me. The President doesn't get it.
[Audience boos]
GIULIANI: (Pointing toward audience) You don't get it.
Well, Rudy, what can you expect from folks so enamored with "The View" they'd actually attend a filming?

Noo Yawk liberals are interchangeable with San Francisco liberals, although; even though it is likely a close run contest between politicos Moonbeam Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer and Gavin Newsom versus Chucky Schumer, Gerrold Nadler and Hillary Clinton, I am required, as a native son, to stick up for CA liberals and state that they are by far, much dumber than their East Coast counterparts.

The Difference Between NY and CA
Submitted by EllisWyatt on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 8:52am.
I'm from NJ, and I live in NYC (Queens) right now. Having spent most of my life in the NY metro area, I've made some observations. California is what NY would be like without Wall Street. Both NY and CA have a strong entertainment industry, but in NY the influence of the entertainment is tempered a bit by the influence of Wall Street. That's why NY never quite goes over the edge like CA does, although we come close. :)

Sarah Palin: Disqualified
Submitted by DontFeedTheTrolls on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 4:42am.
Sarah Palin: Disqualified because she ran out corruption in her own party, had 80% approval rating (across party lines) as Governor, ran her state in a fiscally responsible manner, cut costs for taxpayers. OK, she did the opposite of what made Obama great. Guess that disqualifies her.

Submitted by Bruzilla on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 8:27am.
I like Palin, and think she's a solid Conservative, but no way is she qualified enough to be President. Granted, she has far more qualifications than Obama, but what does that mean? Obama has no qualifications, so comparing Palin to him is a worthless effort. Yes, she ran her state in a fiscally responsible manner, but for less than three years. She cut costs to Alaska taxpayers (through the use of oil subsidies), which was a good thing, but she also boosted costs, and raised taxes, to Wasilla residents when she pushed through the building of a recreation and athletic center that the town needed about as much as a beach resort. She's also done a good job of "rooting out corruption", but she seems to only do it when she's after the job of the corrupt person she's rooting out.
I think the biggest lesson from Obama is that being President is not a learn-as-you-go job, especially with the economy in the tank. We need to elect the person with the best qualifications, and not just someone who meets the minimum standards.

My older friend, an astute lady of 80, and cousin of a high profile conservative power broker, told me that the best way to argue with Libs is to ask them questions and make them articulate what they think they know. She said "think they know" because usually the Dems have nothing more than talking points and have great difficulty going beyond regurgitating those points to prove their arguments. They actually are UNARMED in a battle of wits.

But I am also certain that Behar would still "Oh come on!" the overwhelming evidence against her.

And they're not interested in taxing their brains. Talk about people being "in a trance". Obamatrons.

- Whitman and Fiorina. Wouldn't mind seeing them on the ticket in '12. Would stomp Biden in a debate.
And, sorry, but I'd like to see less of Palin; a lot less. The media tries to keep attention on her for a reason, folks, trying to characterize her as the face of the Republican party. Boehner and Steele don't impress me either. Neither of them can pick apart the Obama shills that dominate the media like, say, Rudy (who is the master).

I understand that Romney is
Submitted by z7e1r3o on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 1:03pm.
I understand that Romney is supposed to have business savvy, etc., but I don't see him ever being a realistic Presidential candidate due to Romneycare. Maybe before, but not now.
I'm sure his goal was to pander to the left when he approved it, and I'm sure he expected he would be able to insure more people and keep costs down (which would have pleased the right), but my understanding is that he failed on the cost decrease promise. What did that do to his stance on the right? IMHO, if he runs for Prez, Romneycare will completely screw him over with the right. He'll get destroyed in the primaries because anyone running against him will be able to say that he passed more or less the same thing Obama did with the national healthcare bill.
Maybe he's a great governor (I don't know, I don't live in Massachusetts) otherwise, but I just don't see how he can run after passing that bill.
Of course, this is all just my opinion. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again.

What Rudy Did for NYC
Submitted by Redrowan2000 on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 9:06pm.
When Rudy and Bill Bratton and John Timoney took over from the most corrupt administration in NYC history they turned the city around in 2 years. Rudy was not liked too much by those who needed to hear the truth But, he went ahead and did what was right for the city. It earned him the usual liberal slogans of racist etc., When he went national for the presidency he seemed to go from a right position to a Rino position and that was what cost him. He still ran a sanctuary city which infuriated most cons but on the whole a visit to that city under Dinkins meant either not visiting or going armed under Rudy it was the old New york , New york.
