Giuliani: 'I've Never Been As Worried for the Country As I Am Now'

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

HANNITY: Alright. Let me ask you. But what you said to me was on issues involving the economy, we saw what happened in Times Square, you were the mayor of New York, you were here during 9/11. That you've really never seen things deteriorate this bad.

GIULIANI: I've never been as worried for the country as I am now.

HANNITY: Explain that. This is —

GIULIANI: I see us moving in the direction of European social democracy. I see our economy is — and actually moving in that direction. Taking over banks, taking over financial — taking over automobile companies, wanting to take over health care and wanting to minutely regulate energy right down to, you know, how much carbon you can emit from your building.

That all will be done in Washington by 20,000 new employees to add to the 16,000 new IRS agents. Then I see him adopting European social Democratic theories about foreign policy. This unwillingness to identify our enemy as Islamic extremists, terrorism.

This sort of wishful desire whenever these things happen to sort of say, oh gee it was a one off. It was some kind of right-wing this, right wing that. The reality is, I think this seeps into our bureaucracy. And that's why we get political correctness coming out ahead of protecting the American people.

That's what happened with Fort Hood. You look at the history of Shahzad and you say to yourself, how could a guy that went back and forth to Pakistan as many times as he did, bring in over $80,000 in cash? How could he not get flagged and watched, carefully? Was it because people are afraid of being accused of being bigoted, of focusing on people, as opposed to just using rational, good common sense which is what would lead you to look at a guy like Shahzad or not to promote someone like Major Hasan.

HANNITY: It makes sense. Mr. Mayor, good to see you.

GIULIANI: Thank you.

HANNITY: Appreciate you being with us.

What? Hannity? Surely, you know that Rudi has totally gone off the deep end and has no shot whatsoever. Not in 2012 and certainly not beyond that.

Who doesn't love a grandstanding politician?

[rsn 135]

Another hard-hitting pull-no-punches interview by Hannity. Does anyone still take this guy seriously?

....and there were no terrorist attacks on US soil under the Bush Administration were there Rudi?

One big one in 8 years. Obama has another 2 and half years left and I wouldn't count out something nasty happening. His charm offensive hasn't worked and there are still plenty of people who'd like to do some damage and we've gotten lucky the terrorists are getting dumber recruits.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

One big one in 8 years.

You mean 9/11, right?

And then we had the Anthrax episode which claimed 5 lives. Same year as "the big one". Also that same year we had Richard Reid trying to blow up an airliner. So, the count is at 3 - including a really "big one" just in the first 11 months of Bush's presidency. Wanna go to 2002? There was the attack at LAX on El-Al's ticket counter. The DC sniper - prosecuted, convicted and executed for committing "an act of terrorism". So, now we're at 5 attacks in less than 2 years. Fast forward to 2006 when Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar who, following his declared role model Mohammed Atta drove his SUV into a crowd of pedestrians looking to avenge the murder and deaths of Muslims around the world.

But, according to Rudi, there were no terrorist attacks on US soil under the Bush administration. The guy's got amnesia.

I would vote for either, if they ran against Obama, it would be a landslide victory for either
