"The fact that Rudy Giuliani shepherded the career of Bernard Kerik despite his ethical problems speaks volumes about the Republican Party and its candidates. This scandal represents the latest chapter of the Republican culture of corruption and cronyism that voters have already rejected. From Tom Delay to Scooter Libby to Jack Abramoff to Bernard Kerik, the Republican Party has too often rewarded cronies at the expense of the American people.

When Rudy Giuliani entered the mayor's office in January of 1994, New York City was a bureaucrat's dream and a businessman's nightmare. Though some of his boldest proposals failed to garner the necessary approval, such as the privatization of municipal hospitals[47], Giuliani deserves credit for attempting to tackle some of the most overregulated and inefficient elements of the Gotham machine. Giuliani's battle to remove the city's airports from Port Authority's stewardship[48] and his 2001 attempt to turn over management of five failing schools to the privately-run Edison Schools Inc. ... fell victim to fierce opposition.[49] Perhaps most impressive is Giuliani's opposition to and veto of a 1996 City Council bill mandating a living wage for employees of city contractors, even though the City Council overrode the veto.[50]

"Rudy Giuliani's tough-on-crime mantra is laughable given that he promoted Bernard Kerik throughout his career while knowing about his ethical problems," said DNC Communications Director Karen Finney. "If Rudy really had no knowledge of Kerik's mob ties, then he is admitting to a level of incompetence that surely will worry voters. Voters are going to question Rudy Giuliani's judgment given his long time support for a man who is being investigated for mob ties."

If nominated to run in the general election next fall, Rudy Giuliani would be the first Republican Catholic presidential candidate in history. But to predict how he might perform, it's actually instructive to look at how Democrat John Kerry fared in 2004.

"Rudy Giuliani's refusal to be honest about his shady past is becoming a chronic habit," said DNC Spokesman Dag Vega. "Given his sharp drop in recent polls, it is surprising that Rudy again refuses to release his full list of shady business clients, defends Bernie Kerik, and cover-ups his blatant misuse of taxpayer-paid security. As voters learn about his penchant for covering-up scandals, they will continue to turn away from his candidacy."

Rudy is a strong leader not a saint. The saint sheeple search, does not exist. Those who question Giuliani’s moral tactics know very little about the intricacies of politics. In fact, if one was to conduct a selection based on ethical enchantment alone, one can do worse than vote for the former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
