Rudy on the offensive!
GOP VIXEN
By Bridget

Giuliani Giuliani is striking out at the Democratic contenders:

"Edwards offered a proposal on taxes Thursday that calls for increasing the rates for the wealthy and providing breaks for the middle class. The plan would raise the top tax rate on long-term capital gains.

'This is a Democratic program to drive businesses and jobs out of the United States of America,' Giuliani said at a restaurant. 'Capital gains are realized by a lot of middle-class people who have investments in mutual funds. This is a tax on everybody.'

On Monday, Obama suggested that as president he would be willing to meet with leaders of nations such as Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea without preconditions — a notion that has drawn scorn for his Democratic rival Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Giuliani called it a 'terrible mistake,' adding: 'Fidel Castro is a dictator and he is a murderer. He should not be visiting with U.S. presidents.'

On Thursday, during a stop in Houston, Giuliani called Democrats 'the party of losers' for demanding a scheduled pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq.

'Democrats have already declared we've lost,' the former New York mayor said. 'It's really strange. The Democrats want to give our enemies a timetable.'

That drew a quick retort from Democratic candidate Sen. Joe Biden.

'It is absurd for Rudy Giuliani to call Democrats 'losers' after five years of failed Republican policies in Iraq,' the Delaware senator said in a statement issued Friday."

Hey, Joe, how many times have you run for the White House and lost?

I'm liking this Rudy feistiness, though. Particularly on the Cuba part.
