Giuliani blasts Baldwin over 9/11 vote

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Friday, October 26, 2012 - 3:22 p.m.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says it would be an embarrassment if Democrat Tammy Baldwin is elected to the Senate based on her vote against a resolution honoring victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Baldwin’s Republican challenger Tommy Thompson raised the issue of her 2006 vote in a campaign ad this week.

Baldwin defends the vote, saying it was based on other language in the resolution referring to Republican initiatives she had opposed. Baldwin has voted nine other times in favor of resolutions honoring the victims.

But Giuliani said in a Friday conference call arranged by Thompson’s campaign that Baldwin is so ideological she couldn’t see past her partisan concerns to vote for the resolution.

She was one of 22 Democrats who opposed it.

Giuliani is a Moron. (and I am not necessarily a fan of Baldwin either, so not defending her).
As usual the criticisms stated are only part of the whole truth of this matter...
He needs to go back and crawl back into his hole...

So just what was in the bill honoring the 9/11 heroes that Baldwin found so reprehensible?

Giuliani and Thompson are both embarrassments to not only the Republican party, but America by the way they both sold out to politicize 9-11.

I guess there is no shame in desperation.

Same way Clinton lauched a couple missles at the folks in Bosnia that drug our American soldier around the streets for the TV cameras to show the world!
Don't throw stones when you are standing in a glass house!
Both parties suck, so get over it!
