WHAT WOULD THE FOUNDING FATHERS SAY IF THEY COULD HAVE SEEN GIULIANI YESTERDAY?

Recently Rudy Giuliani refused to participate in a Spanish and English language debate sponsored by Univision that sought to bring the presidential into the millions of homes of American citizens who speak Spanish as a first or second language. (The Republican Univision debate had to be canceled when the xenophobic campaigns of Giuliani, Romney and the rest of the pathetic pygmies™ all said they were too busy to take part. The Democratic Univision debate drew a huge audience-- one out of ten Hispanics in the U.S., 4.6 million people. It was a bigger audience than the average English language debate so far (4.3 million). Giuliani also declined to participate in the YouTube debate that was designed to stimulate participation from young people in the political process and the All American Presidential Forum put together by popular black talk radio host Tavis Smiley. This worries some Republicans. Jack Kemp is one. "We sound like we don't want immigration; we sound like we don't want black people to vote for us. What are we going to do-- meet in a country club in the suburbs one day? If we're going to be competitive with people of color, we've got to ask them for their vote"

Giuliani would rather stick with the country club in the suburbs (or the newly yuppified and whitewashed inner cities). His campaign hasn't been addressing Latinos, African-Americans, gays or the less well-off.

Instead he's entirely focussed on two very narrow spectrums of voters-- the Republican base in the early states (New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina) and wealthy people who can be asked for donations. And the British. No candidate for president has ever personally campaigned outside of America before but if Margaret Thatcher was a friend of Ronald Reagan, nothing would keep this little pygmy away.

Republican presidential front-runner Rudy Giuliani made an unusual campaign stop here to address one of the perceived weaknesses in his bid for the White House: a lack of sufficient foreign policy experience.

...And Mr. Giuliani raised a little money during his brief stop here, attending a fund-raiser luncheon with Americans who live in Europe, most of them working in London's booming financial-services industry.

...As a former New York mayor, Mr. Giuliani wouldn't seem to have the same kind of foreign-policy résumé as some of his rivals for president. Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona was a Navy pilot and prisoner of war in Vietnam, and has long served on the Senate Armed Services Committee. He is joined there by the Democratic presidential front-runner, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, who also represented the U.S. abroad as first lady. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware is the Democratic chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat, is a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

He also used his trip as the backdrop of a call to expand NATO to include Israel and to do some sabre rattling at Iran.
