Rudy was saying that Clinton and Obama weren't qualified on foreign policy. And here's a man who several months ago said, in a public statement reported in the New York Times, 'I don't know who's further ahead on nuclear weapons, Iran or Korea.'
Senator Biden annihilated Giuliani as having no foreign policy credentials whatever while walking down a street eating a sandwich. Film here
I am retired and have plenty of time to waste reading newspapers so I happen to know why that is a devastating remark i.e. that Giuliani didn't know the United States, China, Japan and several other countries have been working hard for months to pressure North Korea not to sell nuclear technology to Iran. People engaged in more useful pursuits are unlikely to have any clue what Biden is talking about. So Giuliani leads in the polls and Biden is a lame fourth.
One of the major problems of a democracy is that the people are generally ill-informed. And even when we are informed, we are generally a bunch of numbnuts with poor judgment. So we wind up voting for a woman because she is woman, a black because he is a black, or somebody from our home state for no particular reason at all.
I dreamed I saw Joe Biden last night,
ReplyDeleteAlive as you and Me.
Says I, "But Joe, you're politcally dead"
"I never died", says he.
"I never died", says he.
Dear Woodman,
ReplyDeleteThat was a hard cold shot to the plexus, as the truth usually is.
But he has come up with a pretty good technique of publicly attacking Giuliani, who is still the GOP front-runner. Giuliani cannot afford not to respond, so Biden winds up getting as much ink as Giuliani.
The main three Dems already have lots of name recognition and money so they are mainly focussed on fighting one another. If something happens to any one of the three leaders, Biden might make it to the first tier before Iowa and New Hampshire. It's a long shot but it's still possible.
