Dave doesn’t vote

He’s concerned after watching MSNBC or some other anti-Trump source, that a woman of Ukrainian heritage lost her job in the administration and that Rudy was investigating corruption. But he doesn’t vote!  My response:

But you're OK with destroying the job of the Ukrainian prosecutor which Joe Biden bragged about (as a representative of Obama)? Biden demanded he be fired, or Ukraine would get no money to fight the Russians. He knew what would happen if the news got out about who was really manipulating the U.S. election.

Rudy was doing his job--investigating the corruption of the Democrats of the previous administration who tried to undo the election results of 2016.

You have a strange set of standards--don't vote, but support crooks widening the muck in the swamp. Voting is always a challenge--often the lesser of 2 evils. So is donating money to campaigns and candidates, but it's better than a monarchy or communism where there's no voting at all, or just straw man candidates. We see now Mitt Romney's true colors, but he still would have been better than a second term for Obama.

Thousands of years of human history under every imaginable form of government from human sacrifice to peasants rounded up from the fields to march to foreign wars, and the little guy finally has a say based on one of the finest constitution ever produced, and you thumb your nose at all the blood and treasure over centuries it took to get here because it isn't perfect. I'm shocked.

Rudy was right

“There is very little that a man with Barack Obama’s views and proclivities should love about the country, beyond the fact that its people are so vulnerable to insipid sentimentality that they twice elected him president.”

Mayor Coleman compared to President Obama

If you want to understand former Mayor Giuliani’s remarks about President Obama’s love for country, just compare Obama’s speeches about the U.S. with our Mayor Colman’s.  He recently gave his 16th state of the city address (doesn’t plan to run for a 5th term), and frankly, I’ve never heard such a cheerleader.  Maybe Mayors just talk differently than Presidents, but I’ve never thought the President liked us or the country.  I think I said that in 2008. Even when President Obama talks about things he really shouldn’t be taking credit for, he doesn’t sound sincere and even when he isn’t wagging a finger at us, I feel like he is.

At one time Coleman had his eye on higher office, but his wife had some problems with alcohol, and he decided he was more needed at home.  However, some years later they did separate and divorce.

We deserve better than Rudy

Nice guy. Did a lot for New York. Funny. Charming. But Americans can do better. His personal life is a mess--now they're dragging up the details of public funds being used to escort and protect his mistress (now his wife) during the 9/11 period. We're-so-above-being-judgemental writers and commenters really aggrevate me. Then if public money is used, then maybe they'll take a second look. The personal is political. Just ask the Clintons. If his wife and kids can't trust him, why should we?
