Comments on: Giuliani talks the talk http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/10/30/giuliani-talks-the-talk/ The blog of the mystery writer, screenwriter and CEO of Pajamas Media Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:35:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: joe_d http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/10/30/giuliani-talks-the-talk/#comment-129139 joe_d Mon, 18 May 2009 23:23:09 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2007/10/30/giuliani-talks-the-talk/#comment-129139 No, pls, pls, pls - the phrase is "you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?". Talk the talk means you say all the right things (boast), but walk the walk means that you can actually do what you say. It makes a lot of sense. "Walk the talk" is just some new age bastardized version of the original saying. Example: I say "I am the best at what I do". You say "oh, you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?" No, pls, pls, pls – the phrase is “you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?”.

A mishmash of liberal platitudes, not quick on his feet, falling back on short concepts without any depth of analysis or ability to wing it. Perhaps the most ill prepared candidate I have seen in a long time. Hillary is offensive but good; she rattles off long responses which she has committed to memory; her comment about "35 years of helping people and working for America" is hilarious. No one challenges her, they treat her like a queen. Dodd, full piss and vinegar, looks tired and Biden's hair gives him away and his arrogance sinks him. Richardson is heft and weight, eats far too many burgers, presidential weight but not timber and Dennis. . . a cartoon menace. Edwards is silky smooth but has been on stage too long to satisfy the American voter and panders shamelessly to the left. The great enemy is not Iran or the terrorist ... but "Bush and Cheney," always pronounced as a duo as if on one of those dance programs, never "the president." Rudi, if nominated, will bring rational debate and a charismatic presence to a scrum of bombast and arrogance and pretension. Impressions:

But Rudy, I think, states is most clearly, and I don't have any doubt that he'd act decisively when needed. Thus, he's my choice.

Ron Paul's followers are politically correct! They subconsciously, if not even consciously, perceive the dark skin Palestinians as victims of white skinned Israeli oppression. Paul's intense adherents are historical illiterates who look at the world in a very simplistic manner. Also, these fools are actually leftists who seem to possess a modest appreciation of capitalist economics. When push comes to shove, however, they have far more in common with the Daily Kos crowd than with typical Republicans. “Mr. Thompson, you must be a Ron Paul supporter.”

Rudy has to remind people what their own guts tells them. Imagine Hilary Rangel and Pelosi with their paws on our pockets. Keep pounding away at that until he's blue in the face.

I am convinced more then ever that he is the only Republican that stands a chance against the Clinton juggernaut. Hillary will be Nixon without the hostile press that Nixon had, therefore she will reign unchecked. I think she is a Euro-Socialist by instinct. I am afraid that the yahoo brigades of social cons in their zeal for ideological purity may sabotage him. Roger:
