Rudy: Vote Democrat...Die

Taking a page out of the Dick Cheney book of political crap sprewing, Rudy Giuliani showed exactly how partisan he can be;

"If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for
another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001. This war ends when they stop coming here to kill us! Never ever again will this country ever be on
defense waiting for (terrorists) to attack us if I have anything to say about
it. And make no mistake, the Democrats want to put us back on defense!"

Right, cause we're not ALREADY playing defense. Well, you do you expect from Rudy Giuliani. All he has to campaign on is 9/11 and Republicans love to make people obsess about 9/11, because then they win.

Expect more 9/11 references from the Giuliani campaign.

Still, Hillary Clinton showed that even Rudy can be shot down;

"There are people right now in the world, not just wishing us harm but actively
planning and plotting to cause us harm. If the last six years of the Bush
Administration have taught us anything, it's that political rhetoric won't do
anything to quell those threats. And that America is ready for a change. One of
the great tragedies of this Administration is that the President failed to keep
this country unified after 9/11. We have to protect our country from terrorism
-- it shouldn't be a Democratic fight or a Republican fight. The plain truth is
that this Administration has done too little to protect our ports, make our mass
transit safer, and protect our cities. They have isolated us in the world and
have let Al Qaeda regroup. The next President is going to be left with these
problems and will have to do what it takes to make us safer and bring Democrats
and Republicans together around this common mission of protecting our nation.
That is exactly what has to be done and what I am ready to do."

Not that I think she can unite everyone, she is, after all Hillary Clinton, but nothing bothers this New Yorker more than when our worst day becomes a political talking point.

UPDATE: Obama and Edwards also responded;

"America's mayor should know that when it comes to 9-11 and fighting terrorists, America is united, We know we can win this war based on shared purpose, not the same divisive politics that question your patriotism if you dare to question failed policies that have made us less secure." -Sen. Barack Obama

"The current Republican administration led us into a war in Iraq that has made us less safe and undermined the fight against al-Qaida, If that's the Republican way to fight terror, Giuliani should know that the American people are looking for a better plan." -Former Senator John Edwards
