He was hated by the liberal elite like the NYT, Al Sharpton and the Democrats.



I am by no means a member of the "Liberal Elite," Read several papers including the New York Times, The Washington Post, The NY Daily News and The NY Post (hardly a bastion of liberalism.) Plus whatever obscure local papers I can find online from time to time. Plus I despise Al Sharpton and seriously wonder how you can rank him among the "Elite." And while nominally a Democrat due to family and community influence, I have voted for Republicans in the past, where they've been more qualified...

And I STILL Hate Rudy. As do the majority of my friends, who could easily fit the above description of myself. And the preponderance of moderates I know, too. The fact is, the 9/11 afterglow is wearing off, and people are starting to remember the abuses under his reign as Burgomeister, er, um, Mayor.

And what's with the Times bashing? I thought you read it as much as me? You sure quoted extensively in the other thread.
