Giuliani cannot be President becaue he is not technically, morally, or personally qualified to be President. His biggest claim to fame is his City was bombed and he told people to buck up…so what does that qualify him for? Cheerleader? You probably think Fred Thompson is a great candidate because he looks Presidential. McCain is probably the most qualified Republican but he traded his moral character for Bush’s coattails in a bad bargain for support from someone who has no support to give…nope, no good Republican candidates so far…

Which one is worse?

A guy who had an illegal Nanny?

Or, a guy who spent 4 years in a Radical Muslim Madrassa in Indonesia as a child, only recently converted from Islam to Christianity for “political purposes,” votes soft on Terrorism, and whose middle name is HUSSEIN?

I ask you, which one is a bigger scandal?

Another issue with Kerik is one that has come to symbolize the Bush Presidency, namely, the cooperation of the media in the silencing of scandals.

In other words, we all knew he didn’t resign because of an illegal nanny.

Because we had an entire multimillion dollar investigation of the Clintons that led to nothing, while Giuliani clearly has an entire truckload of skeletons in his closet while Republican candidates also tend to err on the side of corruption. I’m just using Occam’s Razor here.

Giuliani knew all about Kerik’s shady dealings and may have in fact helped him cover them up. That certainly disqualifies him for the presidency.

There’s absolutely no evidence to show that is the case (besides, you argue earlier that Giuliani was disqualified for merely nominated Kerik, whether he knew about his alleged illegal activities or not) and once again you hold true to your viewpoint that there is one set of standards for conservatives and Republicans and another for Democrats and liberals.

For the former, a mere allegation is enough for you to draw and quarter somebody but for the latter, they have to be bending over a body with a smoking gun in their hand for you to say, “Gee, they might have done something wrong.”

If Sen. Clinton knew Hubbell was dirty before she helped out, yes she deserves the consequences of it. But there’s no evidence of that. Giuliani knew all about Kerik’s shady dealings and may have in fact helped him cover them up. That certainly disqualifies him for the presidency.

The hypocrisy of the left (and especially that of Oliver) rears its ugly head again. Giuliani cannot be President because of Kerik, but I don’t see anybody saying Hillary Clinton should be disqualified because of her role in getting Web Hubbell named the number two person at the Justice Department. Clearly, a person who helps to get appointed a guy that bilks clients and partners and spends time in prison for fraud isn’t qualified to be President.

Right, Oliver?

Bernard Kerik is an absolute HERO! He is a champion in the War against Islamo-Fascism. I’d actually rather see Bernie running for President. His so-called “problems” are nothing more than Liberal trash thrown at him in an attempt to embarrass his friend Rudy.

I’m supporting Rudy. But frankly, I’d rather see Bernie Kerik for President!!

And Bush is a wimp for pulling his nomination a few years back. Absolutely stupid move George. You lost a lot of supporters by caving into the Liberal slime as you did on that one.
