Is this the only card that this man pulls out over and over? 9-11...9-11...9-11 changed everything...9-11...I'm strong on national security...9-11...I really like guns...Give me a break. Well, there's a new twist to his latest fundraiser. It's called "$9.11 for Rudy" and is the theme of the campaign's "National House Party Night".Critics were quick to denounce this latest tactic. Democratic Presidential candidate Chris Dodd, spoke out strongly on this issue. Dodd called the theme "unconscionable, shameless and sickening". New Mexico Governor and Democratic candidate Bill Richardson said of the fundraiser, "You know, we shouldn't use a tragedy for politics".
Naturally once criticism of the event begin to surface, the Giuliani campaign denied any knowledge of the theme. "These are two volunteers who acted independently of and without the knowledge of the campaign," Giuliani spokeswoman Maria Comella said. "Their decision to ask individuals for that amount was an unfortunate choice."
I don't know what credentials being a less than popular mayor at the time of the 9-11 attacks in New York City gives someone, much less the title 'America's Mayor'. I know that his persona was amplified times a thousand by the media sycophants and fine tuned into a patriotic symbol. It's past time for him and his campaign to keep dragging the corpses of 9-11 around and run on the issues of today.
