Why did the other republicans let Rudy off the hook regarding booty gate and terrorism cash?
Last night at the debate? some kind of a deal? Quid pro quo?

Why wouldn't at least some of them go for the jugular vein?

1. Because it's more fun to pick at scabs, let them heal, then pick some more...
Outright killing - well, that stops a beating heart.

3. Because every last one of them is also corrupt in some way?

5. how many of the others are profiting from the same people?
some of them were out of office for awhile so i wonder what they've been doing since then and right up until they got in the race.

12. Thompson gave most of his PAC money to his son. McCain = Keating Five, so he's
not going to be the one to bring up any questionable financial dealings (plus he's friends with the Rudester). Huckabee used Arkansas as a personal piggybank. Romney, I don't know about--he might be Dudley Do-Right, but I hope there's SOMETHING there, dirt-wise.

14. i'm kind of surprised Ron Paul's people don't start going after Guiliani, he seems to have
a good amount of cash now and nothing to lose so what not?

15. I don't know why Paul doesn't do that--maybe he just doesn't get enough
airtime at the debates? Really, though, what the hell is he good for if he's not going to expose the other R's for the charlatans they are? Sheesh.

19. right because in his own way he is almost the antithesis of what they are.
so why wouldn't he want to just expose these assholes for who they really are, i mean he's already come out and said he won't support any of them so why not start putting out the hit pieces?

9. well they've had plenty of time today to go on the attack and i haven't heard anything
so whats the deal? Guiliani has given his opponents a shit load of ammo to go after him with, he's loaded up the cannon and given them a match but they seem to be all out of flint.

11. you would think so and that leads me to believe their all guilty of the same type
of business as Rudy and don't want to throw rocks at him from their glass houses.

18. True... And I hate to say that such deviances are indicative to all politicians...
But Republicans more than most because they feel they've "earned it."

13. WTC robbery and his emergency center..
Why didn't someone ask about not only Rudi's fraud regarding the donated funds for 911 families but the missing WTC gold and burned up FBI files. Why were they there being protected by a Bush (bank robber family-head of security) when the WTC had been attacked previously?

The missing WTC gold story is like the missing children in New Orleans, the media does not talk about it nor the government follow up on it. What goes? On to the next disaster and robbery? Iraq?

911 was a good smoke screen to steal and destroy a lot in NY and DC (that part of the Pentagon had the financial Rumsfeld records). It was planned prior to the attacks don't you think?

The costly "Rudi emergency center" was destroyed by bombs inside the building. No jet hit it. The owner called the destruction and then collected many times the insurance value. It was our loss and his profit.

Not even the TV emergency warnings worked on 911 in NY City. You know those annoying emergency tests they do every week? A comedian on TV was making fun of it. She said, the emergency warning should have said....run like hell we are being attacked! How did anyone know it was the last attack or one of several? The communication networks for the police, fire, and rescue workers were down. DA!!

The other Republicans let a traitor and liar like Rudi on the stage with them. They declare him innocent with their silence. Shame on them all. I will never forgive them for destroying our nation and it's democracy.

16. I'm still betting on Mitt to post the video of Donna Hanover sobbing
on the steps of Gracie Mansion after she found out via a news statement by rudi that their marriage was ending after rudi had promised to work on a reconciliation. Of course Mitt will then blame it on mccain. :popcorn:
