October 28, 2007 (LPAC)--Right-wing Republican Presidential candidate Rudy ‘Ghoul-iani’ went to Midland, Texas on October 27 and repeated Vice President Dick Cheney's October 20 threat to attack Iran, word for word, saying "The military option is not off the table ... America will not allow [Iran] to become a nuclear power."
Giuliani and his advisors have been virtually promising the media that he will bomb Iran if he gets into office. Giuliani had also, two days earlier in New York, declared that waterboarding is not torture ("It depends on how it's done...") and should be used; and called for no limits on warrantless spying on Americans in the United States, by the NSA and the Pentagon.
Media pundits continue to claim they are "amazed" by Giuliani's widespread support among the most right-wing Christian fundamentalist Republican voters. An October 28 Op-Ed in the Washington Post by Rutgers historian David Greenberg, who lives in NYC, ridicules the media for this, pronouncing Giuliani the most right-wing of the Republican candidates. Greenberg reminds readers that Giuliani tried hard, after 9/11, to put off the NYC mayoral election scheduled two months later, and to stay in office himself, illegally, by fiat, claiming that he was the only person who could handle the mayor's job in the crisis. His foreign policy stance is based on war, especially on war on Iran; he has blocked the release of any of his mayoral papers or records, without even bothering to asset executive privilege; he wanted to send NYC public students into Catholic Church-run charter schools involuntarily; and he is for unlimited police and national security powers for an indefinite period of time.
Media pundits profess disbelief that Giuliani has 69% approval among “Christian fundy” voters, but this is the way it will be, says Greenberg.
Nancy Pelosi's Democratic Ms.-Leadership could possibly put a fascist like Giuliani into the Presidency, warns Lyndon LaRouche.
