...fickleness with which Republicans approach their candidates is frustrating. The top tier offers an all-star cast, yet the party discards them like unwanted wool sweaters. Former NYC Mayor Giuliani reduced crime in his city by 60 percent, but he’s pro-choice. Arizona Senator John McCain advocated the successful surge strategy in Iraq years ago, but he pushed for the failed immigration overhaul. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney turned a nearly $3 billion deficit into a $700 million surplus without raising taxes, but he only recently converted to social conservatism. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson?...
Republicans complain that their candidates attack each other more often than they attack the Democrats. But the Republican candidates have been bashing Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for months. Last week, Mayor Giuliani made a web ad slamming Senator Clinton’s flip-flop on the Iraq War. On the stump, Gov. Romney warns of the Democrats turning the country to the Left instead of forward. Both candidates have pointed out that of the main three Democratic contenders, Senators Clinton, Obama and John Edwards of North Carolina, who all are vying for the nation?...

But Rudy accuses her of "joining with" MoveOn.org and "attacking" General Petraeus, although the only evidence he can muster for this accusation is a clip from Clinton telling the general at a hearing that his reports of progress in the war "really require the willing suspension...
When we try to untangle this web of accusation and innuendo, Giuliani appears to be suggesting that it is unacceptable for a Senator to express skepticism about anything said by a general in uniform. If he believes that, he does not understand democracy. I am shocked by this. In fact, if Giuliani doesn't apologize, and if the other Republican candidates don't condemn this commercial, I think I'm going to faint...
