Giuliani, McCain Most Popular Politicians, According To New Poll

in my most recent issue of "Absolute Bullshit Weekly?"

I really like Al Gore. This country needs someone like Al Gore.
Unfortunately...I wish I could be optimistic but I don't believe this will happen.

what a nightmare ticket...McCain/Guiliani...equally as bad--> H Clinton/anyone. WTF my fellow NYers? Don't we have anything better than Rudy and Hillary to offer/ :wtf:

One thing is certain, McLame is a * whore and does what he's told.

if they are consistent in their beliefs... :sarcasm:

The only reason he's popular is because on September 11th 2001, most Americans had to look to him for leadership since the Chimp was in hiding. He basically did what anyone in his shoes should have done as part of his job. I still don't get why he's seen as a hero because he got in a car and drove downtown. Isn't that what the mayor is supposed to do?

McCain's luster will fade as his craven political whoring becomes more apparent.

:eyes:

I mean :wtf:

I know not one single Democrat who likes Rudy Guiliani. Of course, I don't live in New York, maybe he's popular among Dems there. Even if that's the case, I still can't understand it.
l

I know not one single Democrat who likes Rudy Guiliani.

Like most NYers, who are overwhelmingly Democratic, but voted for Rudy in landslides, I like him. I'm a Dem who voted for Giuliani, and think he did an excellent job as mayor.

I knew him then, and your fact-free (research-free?) implication that I didn't is pretty arrogant, IMO.

Have you read about how he supports (almost?) everything Bush and the Republican leadership has been doing? Have you read about his ties to certain corrupt buisnessmen? All of this was in the news a couple of years ago, but was never front page news, always buried as all Republican trangressions tend to be.

and if so, why? Just curious. I'm fascinated as to why a Democrat would pick him out as their most popular choice among all politicians.

all knew him before 911.

as the racist facsist that he really is.

mark my words. 'HANNITY SEZ' tends to sway the brainless

as of Feb 2004, article from NYT on what Rudy's been up to:

RUDY INC.: A Politician's Empire; Giuliani, Selling His Public Image, Branches Out for Private Profit

<snip>
The firm, which opened in January 2002 in affiliation with Ernst & Young, the global accounting firm, is clearly and without apology driven by the stature Mr. Giuliani gained in commanding the New York City Police Department and in guiding the city after the World Trade Center attack. It is sustained by the advice Mr. Giuliani and his partners offer in appearances they make around the nation and the world, warning audiences that more attacks are almost certainly on the way. Such predictions, of course, benefit both the former mayor's firm and the clients he has retained, many of them involved in selling terrorism preparedness products.

People are voting for mytical icons with no real feel or concern for the average American. We are in a hopeless situation.

...is this line, "Coming in at the bottom of the poll were Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and President George W. Bush."

How rich! How satisfying! ...Kinda like a Snicker's bar.

How revealing--that the politicians we know the most--the ones that we've experienced the most---are the MOST unpopular.

How telling...the more we get to know the Bush junta---the more America despises them.

When Bob Woodward asked Junior how history will judge his administration and their war policy--Junior said, "We won't know. We'll be dead."

HA! Ohhhhh...you'll know Junior. You'll know. America hates you now. As history rolls on, during the next decades--you will NEVER stop hearing about what a failure. That gigantic hole you've dug America into will be discussed, debated, and mocked FOR THE REST OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE.

Putz!

The article stupidly doesn't say, like it doesn't matter how unpopular the current leadership is!!!

Anyone have a link to the poll data?

john and rudy ... mister and mister family values.

Rudy lived with gay men when 9/11 happened ... why aren't the wingers in a tizz about that?

:puke:

"Quinnipiac asked more than 1,500 voters nationwide to rate 19 national leaders on a scale of zero to 100."

So, this doesn't mean anything like "who would you vote for".

Why not 0? Because Bush doesn't take the social conservatives seriously, he only uses them. That's worth a little something, isn't it?

I guess that's got its good points.

drowned and McCain's popularity will slide. Show McCain selling his soul to Falwell and the "agents of intolerence" and McCain will hit rock bottom fast.

While sure, everyone knows who he is, he's pissed off the fundies and other conservatives far too much to ever get their vote again (will never win the primaries) and enough of us know what he's all about to ever win a national election. I not even sure if the repukes would fix the election for him if it came to it.

ahead of Giuliani and McCain.

Interesting, huh? How does that work, that the Republican supports gay rights more than the Democrat?

for me to poop on..

LOL

It's the propaganda that Bush is spending so much of our money on.

I said this months ago, we need to start focusing on any Repuke who is even dreaming about running in 2008. Especially McCain and Giuliani. Why do we waste so much time focusing on Bushit and his possible affairs with Condi?

People that don't know their dirty track record?

IN NYC, where Democrats outnumber Repukes by more than 2 to 1, Giuliani was re-elected by almost 60-40.

He was popular in NY among a broad array of people. He did a great job.

Where his popularity is on a national scale is harder to measure.

PUKE :puke: :thumbsdown:
