Go Rudy...Go Rudy…
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani continued his offensive against Democrats on Friday, saying his party is best qualified to deal with wars against poverty at home and terrorism abroad. Drawing from the first Democratic presidential debate the day before, Giuliani blasted his rivals for ignoring private sector solutions to health care and education. **** "I'll be darned if I'm going to concede that Democrats care more...
about poor people than we do," Giuliani said during his brief base-building trip to the home state of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards. **** Giuliani said Democratic calls for mandatory universal health care would only exacerbate the cost of care by putting the system in the hands of bureaucrats.
Giuliani, who served as New York City mayor during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, praised President Bush for his response to the event. Giuliani said the United States needs to continue to fight terrorism abroad and at home with "aggressive" use of military strength, the Patriot Act and electronic surveillance and interrogation. **** "(Terrorists) do not respect weakness, they take advantage of weakness," Giuliani said. "They certainly respect strength."
