NO, it was pretty clear that Brown's comments--and the Herald's front page BUTT OUT headline--were referring to a potential visit from President Obama. Leave it up to Massachusetts voters, they said. Even though days before they were touting the upcoming visit by Guiliani...a politician from outside Massachusetts.

Par for the course when it comes to the Brown campaign, which complains about out-of-state money then collects piles of its own. Who claims he isn't familiar with the Tea Baggers, though he spoke at one of their events and has a special mention of them on his site.

ok, so Giuliani is the equivalent of Obama

Right...

and the former mayor of New York is the same thing as the current president...

I am so glad our tax dollars are being spent on the president meddling in a state election.

totally! How dare he use his

totally! How dare he use his time to try and do what's necessary to shepherd through the health care legislation that he made a central campaign promise..... especially when he could be out cutting brush in texas or something.

Key Distinction

By Dignan on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 6:38pm.

Both Obama & Clinton have been on the ballot here and were elected by Mass. voters. I think presidents have earned the right to give us their two cents once in a while. Also not sure how a speech equates with meddling. Meanwhile, Rudy Guiliani is just another guy from the Hamptons who couldn't even get his own kids to vote for him.

Rudy VS Obama

The difference is that Rudy is a private citizen who came here on hie OWN DIME. Obama is the President, who is coming here to campaign on the PEOPLES DIME(is this legal? Its quite unethical)

Yes it's legal, no it not

Yes it's legal, no it not unethical.

Should be dig through history to find just how many times Bush/Cheney did this? Or any GOP politician?

The faux outrage is hysterical. That might work to rile up your base, but sane people see through the flimsiness and hypocrisy of the line.

Giuliani gets paid

By Sock_Puppet on Sat, 01/16/2010 - 11:51am.

It goes to show what a lack of core convictions Giuliani has that he would stump for Scotty B. Either that or how bad his memory is. Scott Brown was one of only three Massachusetts State Representatives to vote against a bill to provide financial assistance to Red Cross workers who had volunteered with 9/11 recovery efforts. That was a giant FU to New York. Brown's message was clear: "Save yourselves, you losers!"

An interesting question is whether Giuliani got paid for his visit, or it's just understood one hand will wash the other after the election. After all, he's a professional lobbyist now. At least when a politician comes to stump, you know they're not getting bundles of cash in a briefcase. Giuliani is laughing all the way to the bank. He'd sell his mother for a buck.

Massachusetts vote Tuesday

By ladyswiss on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 5:02pm.

I think it's fine that Giuliani backs Brown, but it's wrong for the President to select
and campaign - he is supposed to be bi-partisan, for ALL the people, but clearly he is
not - anything for his agenda at any cost. We should not have to foot the bill for his trip, that is
unconsionable........but what else would you expect of such a corrupt administration?

When did Rudy Giuliani become a Massachusetts resident?
