LIE OF THE WEEK: 08-24-2007
Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani on his position on small government:
"I think I'd be a good fit for Idaho because I'm someone who has a very, very strong belief in a government that understands that most of the really good things and great things that we produce in this country come from the people, not from government, I'm someone who understands that you've got to devolve power and reduce the size of government."
THE TRUTH: Mr. Giuliani has shown his views on the size of government when he ran New York City. Just because he was to the right of the extreme liberal Democrats in the city does not mean that he is on the right side of this issue. He is a believer in big government and big government programs and that's the last thing we need in Washington right now, especially after the Bush administration's massive growth of the government despite many many promises to do the opposite.
