YouTube Wars: Rudy Was Spliced
Turns out that ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani had a different reason for opposing George Pataki's tax cuts in '94...
Mayor GUILIANI: He has plans to reduce taxes that are so ambitious and so inconsistent with the performance of the economy of this state that he would, in essence, in order to accomplish that, raise property taxes in the suburbs, around New York, and in New York City. Because-
SHAW: And in your mind that's a no-no?
Mayor GUILIANI: It would be a disaster. It would be an absolute disaster. It would be the kind of tax shift that substitutes for sound management. I've reduced the budget of New York City dramatically. I've actually reduced taxes already in New York City. But I didn't do one of those pledges and promises and one of those fancy campaign things that locks you into unwise economic policy.

I am more concerned about Rudy being quoted on network news today, March 30, that he will include wife Judith in his Cabinet meetings.
Didn't Rudy learn anything from the "TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE" mantra from the Clintons in 1992?
If the voters wanted a first lady as co-president, the polls would have supported Hillary in 1993 and 1994. But Hillary dragged down Bill with her Hillarycare fiasco and tainted the title of FIRST LADY rather than helping her stature in the White House.
Rudy, you have better find something for Judith to do rather than sitting at your side like a QUEEN.

Who hates their nominee the most?
