Rudy Giuliani speech, revisited
From cnn.com July 2007:

At a media event after his forum Tuesday, Giuliani continued attacking the Democratic presidential rivals' health care positions, telling reporters that "John Edwards says 'I'm just going to take all these people and I'm going to cover them in Medicaid.' Well, OK, fine, that's socialized medicine. If you want a system like England has, if you want a system like Canada has, if you want a system like Cuba has, that's where we're headed."

Giuliani then repeated an attack on the Democrats he used the day before in New Hampshire, comparing Democratic health plans to those of France.

" Sarkozy is on an airplane headed to the United States, and Hillary and Barack and John Edwards are on an airplane headed to France," Giuliani said. "They are looking for the socialist solution they have in Europe, and Sarkozy is looking for the free-market private solutions that work so well in the United States."


With the Labor victory in Australia, will Giuliani tell a new anecdote in which right-wingers are flying to Australia while Australians fly in another direction?

I guess the insurance industry and our excellent, readily available healthcare system are shining examples.

Yes, they DO work VERY well.

For the profit-seekers.

3. He's such an idiot.....

he knows nothing, and I'm confident that he's not going anywhere when the political ads start coming out. Most people still see him as the savior of 9-11. Wait until they all see what he's really like, and it will happen.
