Rudy Supports the Troops - past and present

We know the rantings of the right. Only they can protect us from the evil-doers, only they support the troops, democrats are soft on ... well, everything.. They have an adverse reaction to anything where tax dollars go to help the poor.

Rudy Giuliani has become a front runner in the GOP race for president. Let me tell you how he supports the troops.

Rudy Giuliani on Homeland Security
Democrats don't support military the way Republicans do. (Nov 2006)
Fervently supported reauthorization of the Patriot Act. (Dec 2005)
Terrorism had been festering for many years. (Aug 2004)
Terrorists can't be accommodated, appeased, and compromised. (Aug 2004)
Would personally execute Bin Laden for attacking NYC. (Oct 2002)
We're right and terrorists are wrong--as simple as that. (Oct 2002)
Led New York City through the events of 9/11. (Oct 2002)

Rather self righteous, don't you think?

Can anyone guess what percent of America's Homeless are military veterans?

The U.S. Department of Veterans estimates that as many as 200,000 homeless people are veterans, and that over the course of the year, as many as 500,000 veterans experience homelessness. They are veterans of different wars, including World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon; research indicates that those serving in late Vietnam and post-Vietnam era are at greatest risk of homelessness. Recent media accounts highlight a small but growing trend of veterans from Iraq and Afganistan showing up in shelters.

Answer: if differs, the percentage ranges from 30 - 40 % and growing.

Now, would you like to guess how Rudy supports the troops?

He made being homeless illegal.

There's a GOP'er for you! And a perfect candidate for the right, one with no morals, no conscience and no heart. No wonder he's the frontrunner, eh?

When you think of his polling numbers and the total number of people that actually represents, he has a gang of maybe 10 behind him. Not many people want to admit being a Republican these days.

You have to be nutty and have your head in the clouds to even get the notice of the GOP base these days.
