Clinton and Giuliani on Freedom

My friend sent me this and I found it interesting to post. What do Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani think about the word freedom? Read below and find out. Definitely feeling Hillary Clinton on this one.

Rudy Giuliani:

"We look upon authority too often and focus over and over again, for 30 or 40 or 50 years, as if there is something wrong with authority. We see only the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do." - newly-elected New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, quoted by the New York Times at a New York Post-sponsored forum on crime in cities in New York, NY, USA (1994)

Hillary Clinton:

"Let me be clear. Freedom means the right of people to assemble, organize and debate openly. It means respecting the views of those who may disagree with the views of their governments. It means not taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing them, mistreating them, or denying them their freedom or dignity because of the peaceful expression of their ideas and opinions." - then US First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaking before the UN\'s 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session in Beijing, China (1995)

There is clearly a difference between the two candidates.

Superbad/The Invasion

Seth Rogan's creation Superbad and the Nicole Kidman/Daniel Craig thriller The Invasion both hit theaters. Which one should you check out? Well, according to Rotten Tomatoes, Superbad is this week's pick with a current 89% fresh rating. Meanwhile, critics are warning to stay away from The Invasion which is currently at 19% with 47 rotten and only 11 fresh reviews. The choice is yours. I think I'll check out Superbad.

Peru Earthquake Death Toll Rises

The death toll in the magnitude-8 earthquake that rocked Peru a couple of days ago continues to grow. About 510 people have died with another 1,500 injured. Truly a devastating catastrophe. We're hoping the number does not continue to rise. Read more here.

Pollspot: Edwards is on the rise in Iowa

Here are some more polls courtesy of Political Wire:

Iowa:

According to a new ONE poll in Iowa, John Edwards leads in the Democrats presidential race with the support of 30% of likely caucus-goers, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 22%, Sen. Barack Obama at 18% and Gov. Bill Richardson at 13%.

Edwards seems to be doing well since this is the only state he is focusing on. The Obama camp cannot be pleased that Bill Richardson is co close to Obama.

Nevada:

A new Research 2000 poll in Nevada finds Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic presidential race with 33%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 19%, John Edwards at 15% and Gov. Bill Richardson at 11%.

On the GOP side, Mitt Romney leads with 28%, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 18%, Fred Thompson at 18%, and Sen. John McCain at 8%.

One of the less talked about early caucus states shows Hillary Clinton in a comfortable lead as Mitt Romney also enjoys a 10 point lead over Rudy Giuliani.

National:

A new CBS News national poll finds Sen. Hillary Clinton leading the Democratic presidential race with 45%, followed by Sen, Barack Obama at 25% and John Edwards at 14%.

Hillary maintains a 20 point lead!
