While Dems debated last night on CNN, Giuliani visted San Francisco to deliver some red meat to the GOP base. I forwarded this to TPM, and thought you'd enjoy some of these choice quotes from the article on Giuliani's visit.

But if time is short, skip to graph #4:
"At no time during these debates have (Democrats) ever uttered the words, 'Islamic terrorist,' " Guliani said. But "if they do, I'll take credit for it."
But there's more -->
Also see graph #8:
Specifically mentioning Clinton of New York, Edwards of North Carolina and Obama of Illinois, Giuliani charged that they "want to raise your taxes 20 to 30 percent, and it could be more'' -- a claim that is not supported by public campaign statements from any of the Democratic top candidates.
Graph #12 is good too:
"It's pretty smart if you're going to run a war to lower taxes,'' he added, saying that such policies "stimulate the private sector.''
Actually, graphs #10 - #12 are good:
"I was against raising taxes in New York ... and New York kind of had a socialist government,'' Giuliani said. "We had four cable channels, gosh, I don't know what we didn't own ... the only other places you hear of governments owning things like that were in socialist countries.''
And he strongly defended the Bush tax cuts, saying "tax reductions stimulate an essentially private economy. Why Democrats don't get this, I don't understand. ... They attack President Bush for lowering taxes twice and for taking us to war.''
"It's pretty smart if you're going to run a war to lower taxes,'' he added, saying that such policies "stimulate the private sector.''
OK just read it all here. http://www.sfgate.com/...
Scary as the Bush team is, I could never see them being this blatant. Rove is a little more underhanded, coy. Did you ever think a candidate would make Bush look smart?
