He didn't even talk about issues and his attacks on Obama were weak. He voted present in the congress? McCain has missed 64% of the vote, Obama at 45%.

Also, "drill, baby, drill?" Man, this is what happens when you get 20,000 idiots in the same space. I'm upset that there so many asinine people at this convention. Why are the Republicans so hateful?
Rudy, you sir, are an asshole. Say goodbye to the independent voters who saw that shameful display. |
Hateful? For wanting to drill? We SHOULD be drilling!
I think you mistook his jabs. The criticism isn't of community organizers, but thinking that qualifies you to be President. Obama is touting this as experience, and Obama's own boss at the time admitted that he achieved next to nothing while an organizer. Its a joke to bring up in a major election, and Rudy treated it as such. That said, I agree he may have alientated some potential voters a little, but I didn't see anything as being as outageous as you'd like to paint it.
I also find it hilarious that democrats can criticize Republicans for being hateful after spending 8 years calling the sitting president everything from a monkey to evil. Lets get some perspective.
The fact is Obama is the least qualified major candidate in the history of Presidential elections, and that inexperience is definitely a real issue that Obama has to deal with and that Republicans are free to bring to the forefront as a serious issue worth exploring.
