Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Rudolph Giuliani just said, in the Republican presidential debate, that “America is not moving in the wrong direction.”
So, Giuliani thinks that an increasing disparity in income between rich and poor is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that gas prices at around $3.50 per gallon, and crude oil at $100 per barrel is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that increasing temperatures and regional water wars is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that the housing crisis is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that the credit crisis is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that the exploding federal budget deficit is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that the shrinking Bill of Rights is the right direction?
Giuliani thinks that two wars going on for years and years with no plan to get out is the right direction?
What kind of idiot would say such a thing? Is Rudolph Giuliani so out of touch with the current American reality?

He just wants to continue what George started. Most of my friends in New York don’t even like the guy. That tells me something.

Yeah. When right wing extremists call him “liberal”, I have to laugh. They probably think that anyone who has read Harry Potter is a liberal.

It’s not just the “right-wing extremists” who consider Rudy Liberal. Remember that the Republican Party has shifted considerably to the right under W. Being pro-abortion and pro-gay rights puts Rudy squarely in the liberal section of the political ideology spectrum, at least in Republicanland.

And in the mainstream of everybody not in that right wing party - as you yourself have described it.
Giuliani is no liberal. He’s mainstream on choice and equal marriage rights, and with the right wing on most other issues.

Of course he’s no liberal — outside of Republicanland.
