My Home About Me

Some conservative pundits have said that Rudy Giuliani regained his footing in the second GOP debate the other night, having badly blown it in the first debate. Supposedly his big moment was when he clobbered Ron Paul for the purported heresy of saying that maybe the US has misbehaved historically in the Middle East, and in some sense made ourselves a target of terrorism. I don't see how Rudy scores a lot of points by bullying an underdog candidate who poses no threat to him whatsoever, but the conventional wisdom is that it allowed Rudy to recapture the glory days of 9-11 when simple answers were the right answers just because they were simple. Here's Ron Paul with a video explaining at length what he meant in the debate. I think he has a point.
