I lowered taxes. I reduced the growth of government. Made government more accountable. And New York City boomed. I would do these things for America because I know they work. I know that reducing taxes produces more revenues. Democrats don't know that. They don't believe it. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, here's a promise I assure you they'll keep. They are making the promise to raise taxes. The only thing I can tell you in addition to that is they'll raise taxes even more than they promise. I'm Rudy Giuliani, and I approve this message." http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5h10poUjVUgCKTqtiAG4palFLlvagD8T7IFA80 Fact Check: Giuliani and Immigration (AP 11/29/07) WASHINGTON (AP) — Rudy Giuliani, under fire for protecting illegal immigrants as mayor, insists that New York was not a refuge for people in the U.S. illegally.

For these challenges, ordinary isn't good enough. We need the leader who gets the big stuff done. Take charge, demand results, no excuses. Mitt Romney: the right experience, the right values, the right time." http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iO8ZmhqsEpFJNUo9XrrzOqSA7g3QD8T7FQ9O0 Huckabee Faces First-Direct Mail Attack (ABC News 11/29/07) Now that Republican Mike Huckabee has surged into contention against Mitt Romney in Iowa, he faces his first direct-mail attack.
