First? I dislike the way you respond in blue letters. When I press quote? They disappear. And makes it hard for me to respond.
Sorry, I'll use red....I just don't understand why we have all these options yet they don't work. Oh well.

Nice try to cover up your error, but anyways, yes you should be more specific and give credit to Giuliani for promoting him to commisioner.
I said I was wrong....don't expect me to kiss your ass about it. And yeah, 10 points to Rudy for promoting Bratton, but MINUS 100 for falsely taking credit for the man's work.
Which does not change the FACT that Maples developed his version for NYT police, and Bratton developed a more extensive version for NYC in general under Dinkins...and Giuliani wrongfully took credit for it.
Proof please that the extensive version was developed under Dinkins and not Giuliani. For him to have developed such an extensive version, he needed to be Commissioner of both transit and housing cops of which he was later apoointed, under GUILIANI.
Pay attention: Maples developed Compstat, Bratton worked out further implementations of the plan with Maples (both men were under the Dinkins administration at the time)and took Maples and his idea along with him when he was promoted to Commish.....Dinkins Never had the chance to do anything further with what Bratton/Maples came up with, as he lost the election. I said this before.
I'm not a New Yorker but this is what logic dictates.
You're "logic" is based more on suppostion than accurate analysis of the facts
The rest of what you posted is all speculation(and mis-information) and probably from a racial site.
Oh blow it out your butt, Wise. Every blessed time you can't prove your point your start in with wild speculation and accusations.
You mean to tell me that employment went down for blacks and crime still subsided? That is impossible. Therefore your article's source is bogus.
Sorry to inform you, genius...but just because black folk are unemployed doesn't automatically mean they resort to crime. I wonder what bigoted rags/sites/jackasses are filling your head with that mindset...or are you coming up with this crap all by yourself? Bottom line: you couldn't refute the stats, so you just blow bigoted smoke.
But Giuliani DIDN'T give them that credit.....he falsely credited himself. A matter of history, a matter of fact.
Yes, Guiliani did not deserve full credit but to say he deserved none like you suggest is unrealistic either.
I didn't say "none", I said he deserved to be exposed for the exaggerated credit folk like you seem all to willing to give him. HE LIED....plain and simple. Deal with it.
Mmm, not quite.... because had it not been for 9/11, both Giuliani and Pataki were about to be crucified for their dismal policies in NYC...hell, the PBA publically railed against Giuliani for not living up to his promises days before 9/11. And that's not all....
No mater what? There are always people complaining about something.
And you're willfully ignorant of the facts. Do some research as to what the PBA (if it weren't for them, Giuliani wouldn't have gotten into office) had to say about Rudy just before 9/11, and what the skinny was on NYC's fiscal situation towards the end of Pataki's term as well.
Listen, I'm no fan of Rudolph Guiliani. I know he is crooked(And I was most vocal against his presidential run). Though he does deserves some credit whether you accept it or not.
Fine: But what YOU are trying to do is deny the chicanery he's done on this instance...and I won't let you do it.
Oh and the link you supplied?lol Yet again is supporting Guiliani against underserved criticism. Do you even read the links you pot?LOL
Spare me the BS, chuckles...either you can or can't refute what was written. Your opinion isn't worth squat....tell me exactly what is wrong in the article and why.
Here is the conclusion of the link.
With time, Giuliani's legacy will be based on more than just 9/11. He left a city immeasurably better off -- safer, more prosperous, more confident -- than the one he had inherited eight years earlier, even with the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center at its heart. Debates about his accomplishments will continue, but the significance of his mayoralty is hard to deny. Perhaps that explains the vehemence of Grand Illusion . After all, muckrakers rarely take aim at dismal failures. ·
You must feel pretty silly right about now.lol
