A feisty crowd of several hundred shouted "Rudy, Rudy" and "Go, Scott, Go" this morning in the North End as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani campaigned for surging Republican Scott Brown in his bid for US Senate.

Another chant from the throng declared, "The liberals are going! The liberals are going!" and a sign read, "It's our turn for a change." Giuliani fired up the crowd by recalling his stump work on the victorious Republican campaigns of former governors William Weld, Paul Cellucci, and Mitt Romney.

Giuliani and Brown assailed Democrat Martha Coakley for suggesting that terrorists are gone from Afghanistan, for opposing President Obama’s planned troop increase there, and for approving trials for accused terrorists on American soil. They criticized her support of the national health care overhaul.

"Frankly his opponent’s ignorance about the issues facing us is astounding!” Giuliani said, adding, "There’s a reason for all this negativity. They have nothing to run on, they have nothing to run with. So they’re running against him."

Brown added: "Business as usual is not the way we like to do business."

NOTE: We find it amusing that the DNC chose to attack Rudy about his comments on Imus this week but in typical fashion they left out most of what he had to say as they cherry picked. We wondered why the DNC was after Rudy and now we know. He was going into MA to campaign for Scott Brown. Even the Boston Globe pointed out the fact the Democrats didn't tell the whole story on Rudy's comments.

It is beginning to look more and more that Democrat comments at all levels cannot be trusted because when you look into what they said in order to verify, you discover they have been misleading. Guess this shouldn't be a surprise after eight years of the professional spinner and liar Bill Clinton. This is the same Democrat party that had some of their Congressional candidates in 2006 and 2008 pretend to be conservative, get elected, and then immediately vote for one of the most liberal people in the House, Nancy Pelosi. Those so-called "Blue Dogs" except for a few are very liberal like the Sanchez sisters -- there is nothing moderate about them or some of the others. Their tactics worked in 2006 and 2008, BUT they will not work in 2010.
