c'mon Jim, haven't you figured out yet that Moxie is a donor/fundraiser to the Rudy campaign - you won't get him to say anything bad about his boy.



Actually, Soopergrizz, No matter how much I Despise and Fear Rudy, I can't hold it against any New Yorker for drinking the Kool Aid. At least the guy admits it.

I know several people who used to hate Rudy as much as I do. Then came 9/11, and they swollowed it hook, line and sinker.

Am I dissappointed by it? Sure, it pisses me off no end. But I do understand it, no matter how misguided it is. Plenty of ordinary Germans, moderates and liberals included, flocked to Hitler during the World depression of the early thirties. Millions more got on board when he started building roads and bridges in order to provide work for the unemployed (The WPA did the same in the US.) Still more got on board when he began rearmnement, and re-took the Rhineland.

People always flock to a strongman, often despite thier better judgement. There is nothing new under the sun.
