Democrats are really confusing voters. Few wks ago they were pounding the table while barking "bring the troops home!" Today the Dem candidates are saying "we'll take our soldiers out of Iraq and send them into Pakistan." The fact liberals will have a less than exciting nominee in Hillary, combined with their "extend the war" hyperbole must have their voting base scratching it's collective head & planning to stay home on election day 2008.

Does this question at a Giuliani rally have Hillary's sinister style all over it? >Giuliani: 'Leave My Family Alone' By MEG HOLMES, AP, Aug 16 2007 DERRY, N.H. (AP) - Republican Rudy Giuliani said Thursday that people should "leave my family alone" when asked by a New Hampshire woman why the presidential candidate should expect loyalty from voters when he doesn't get it from his daughter. Giuliani has a seventeen year old daughter who has indicated support for Democrat Barack Obama and a son who recently said his father would make an excellent president. Giuliani's divorce from their mother, Donna Hanover, was widely publicized while he was mayor of New York. "I love my family very, very much and will do anything for them. There are complexities in every family in America," Giuliani said calmly and quietly at a Town Hall meeting. "The best thing I can say is kind of, 'leave my family alone, just like I'll leave your family alone.'" His comments were greeted with applause from the audience of about 120 people. Giuliani urged them to judge him based on his performance as mayor and a federal prosecutor, and he launched into a list of his successes such as reducing crime and welfare and prosecuting organized crime figures and drug dealers. The questioner, Derry mother Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien, opened by thanking Giuliani for how he handled the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Giuliani mentioned his wife, Judith, when he answered a question about Alzheimer's disease, saying she had helped raise money to fight the disease. Giuliani focussed on health care during the hour-long forum, saying that buying health insurance ought to be like buying insurance for cars or a home, with people buying their own policies with different deductibles and types of coverage. Employers and the government "never buy precisely what you want: they buy what they think is generally good," he said. Giuliani wants to give families a 15,000 tax credit to buy insurance privately rather than through employers and he proposes that any money left over from the credit be kept in tax-free health savings accounts.<
