Giuliani Tells Obama ‘You’re No Reagan’—Is He?
NPR-Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday ridiculed Democratic rival Barack Obama for saying he would meet, without precondition, with leaders of renegade nations.
“Then he went on to explain that Ronald Reagan negotiated with the communists,” Giuliani said, pausing and sighing. “I say this most respectfully: You’re not Ronald Reagan, you know?”
“While Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton do not think we should engage in the type of strong diplomacy practiced by Ronald Reagan and John Kennedy, Obama does,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. “And given the hefty fee that Hugo Chavez’s oil company paid Rudy Giuliani’s firm, he apparently thinks we shouldn’t talk to Chavez, but it’s fine to take his money.”
Rudy claims he is not a conservative Reagan Republican in this video. Rudy In 1996: “I’m Really Not” A Republican Mayor,”I ran as a liberal”
Bart,
How will you spin this?
That line was pretty funny back in 1988. I think it’s become a little shopworn two decades later.
Obama should have brought up the dress and the makeup. That one’s sorta new in Presidential politics.
Bill
LOL
Big Government GOP, Why should that be any better than Big Government Democrat. even though I am a Independent I would take the LP or Independence Party of MN over the GOP and Democrats anyday of the week.
IND MN
I agree!
You’ve done enough already to spin Rudy’s story John.
Personally, I haven’t decided who to support, but consider Rudy to be at the top of the list right now. The scary thing is he actually looks better as a female than his inevitable opponent in the general election next year. Maybe the hildabeast should try wearing a dress every now and then lest somebody accuse her of being a lesbian.
What Spin it is a video?
John,
The exact quote is — “I’m the Republican Mayor, but I’m really not…I’m the mayor of NYC.”
Nowhere in the video does he mention Ronald Reagan. Why do you insist on taking statements out of context in order to attack Rudy?
Bart
Would Reagan say “I ran as a LIBERAL”?
I repeat, Nowhere in the video does he mention Ronald Reagan. Why do you insist on taking statements out of context in order to attack Rudy?
Rudy said, “I ran as a Republican, I ran as a liberal…and I ran as an independent….I ran a fusion candidacy.”
Again John, why do you take comments out of context in order to attack Republicans?
Bart
OK Bart you think Reagan is a LIBERAL FUSION candidate?
Is that the new GOP slogan?
We are the Party of LIBERAL FUSION candidates!
catchy line John, but based on out of context statements.
you would make a good dem operative…truth, facts be damned; cheat, lie and distort all the way to victory!
For the third time, I repeat, Nowhere in the video does he mention Ronald Reagan. Why do you insist on taking statements out of context in order to attack Rudy?
Fart Brannon,
John actually comes up with the first good point in the history of his posts and you try to discredit it?
Just answer the damn question you idiot!
Whether or not he mentioned Reagan or not, I’m going to mention Reagan now:
Do you think Reagan would have ever considered his own candidacy to be a liberal fusion candidacy?
You’re the typical blind dumbass GOP bootlicking idiot.
Besides, John didn’t say that Rudy mentioned Reagan in the video. If you had actually read the post, you would clearly see that he was referring to Rudy telling Barrack Obama that Obama was “no Reagan”…what John was pointing out was that this was kind of like the pot calling the kettle black since Rudy, after all, is the liberal fusion candidate.
And John,
If you don’t think the GOP is party of liberal fusion candidates, then you’re an idiot.
The GOP is chock-full of sexually frustrated men whose wives stopped giving it up years ago. They’re a bunch of liberal sissies…no better than the Democrats. Especially the liberal zealot Bart Brannon.

LOL
What are you laughing at John, the part where he calls you an idiot or where he says all your posts suck?
I bet he’s laughing at the part where you still refuse to answer a simple question you witless hack!
By the way, Bart, the quip about being sexually frustrated because your wives quit giving it up a long time ago…that goes double for you.
Rudy tudy fresh and fruity.
Bart
Are you going to answer the question or will you wimp out?
Do you think Reagan would have ever considered his own candidacy to be a liberal fusion candidacy?
Bart is like every other Chicken Hawk republican, he talks big, but he cuts and runs when the questions get to tough.
For the fourth time John, I repeat, nowhere in the video does he mention Ronald Reagan. Why do you insist on taking statements out of context in order to attack Rudy? Answer this one John, then maybe we can move to your question.
Bart,
Come on Dingleberry spelled it our for you.
Face it you cannot answer the question.
Dingleberry,
If you want to be a front page poster E-mail me john@johnkonop.com. You would spice it up!
Bart is a f*cking idiot, John. You should know he can’t read.
John wrote, “Rudy claims he is not a conservative Reagan Republican in this video.”
$1000 to anybody who can find Rudy saying “I am not a conservative Reagan Republican” in the video. In fact, $10,000 and I’ll write a column in favor of John’s socialized healthcare program if anybody can show where Rudy even said ‘Ronald Reagan’ in the video.
For the fifth time John, I repeat, nowhere in the video does he mention Ronald Reagan. Why do you insist on taking statements out of context in order to attack Rudy?
Hey John,
That would f*cking great to put d@#N%^#Be$%y on the f’n front f*cking page! He/she brings so much f’n game to the f*cking dialogue. Can hardly f’n wait for his/her f*cking first f’n thread likely to be titled ‘d@#N%^#Be$%y is f’n pissed’!
Bart
This post makes my point at the end you are a liberal!
NICE SPIN!!
Bart,
You are a tool. The people in your local republican party must be a bunch of idiotic douchebags to give you any type of responsibilty that requires more than the cognitive ability to watch paint dry.
Giuliani is a hypocrite. He criticizes Barack Obama because Obama is “no Reagan”. This is called hypocrisy (I know that’s a big word, Fart) because Giuliani himself is also “no Reagan”. When someone doesn’t practice what they preach, it’s called being a hypocrite.
Thanks for supporting the liberal fusion candidate and ruining the GOP you moron.
