Rudy Giuliani visited Iowa last week, and he found a way to connect with the rural residents: by talking down to them and making laughably false comparisons.
“You’ve been out here in the country where there are no roads,” said Betty Schuler, a farmer who drove 30 miles with her husband, Kenneth, to see Mr. Giuliani. “When you get back to the big city, are you going to forget the little guys out here who are farming to feed you?”
“Oh, I’m not going to forget the little guy anywhere,” Mr. Giuliani assured Mrs. Schuler. “When I got elected mayor of New York City, I didn’t forget anybody. The place that kind of won the election for me was Staten Island. It’s the closest thing that New York City has to — I wouldn’t call it rural, but suburbs.”
He paused as these seven Iowa voters looked quizzically at the famous guest in their midst.
He mentioned Staten Island over and over again.
Yeah, I remember driving through the rolling hills of Staten Island, looking out at the crops of wheat and corn and grain, seeing the families wake up at 5am to do the chores and milk the cows.
In 1763.

(I’m worried about Matt. I hope he has his inhaler nearby.)
This one made me laugh! I could just see the Iowans faces as he spoke.I guess it is a really good thing he didn’t try to do the Straw Poll. Remember Matt, Giuliani still has to get the nomination before this Hillary confrontation that you are always bringing up. As conservatives we need to remember to think clearly and carefully about all the Republican candidates and not listen to those who always bring up the “Hillary Fear” idea. “Hillary Fear” is not a good reason to vote for Rudy !
Something to say?
rightsfield getting desperate in their attempts to smear america’s next president. with thompson staffers dropping left and right, rcp national average for rudy increasing week after week, sites like these are desperately scrambling trying to smear away at rudy, but none of their mud has stuck and it won’t. give it up fools, he will be the nominee, and he will face the most polarizing democrat in american history, hahahahahahahaha thats the best the libs could dig up, hillary!!!???!!!?!?!?! hahahaha
