It didn't take a lot of sense to figure out that if someone is going to rob you at knifepoint on the subway, he's problably not going to pay his fare either. Hey, why not arrest the turnstile jumpers and check their pockets. Run a check on them, too.
It also shouldn't have taken a lot of common sense to realize that NYC did not need THREE separate police departments. Rudy forced the merger of them. You used to be able to rob a liquor store and run in the subways. Cops couldn't follow (or, if they could, they didn't) because of jurisdiction issues.
Common sense more than anything.
Not even an issue? Rudy, who loudly praised the AW ban and Brady Bill, for helping him disagrees. It seems hat you believe Rudy can do no wrong and any rationalization will do to selll your shining knight on the white horse to conservatives. I remember tangling with a pro-Mitt poster who had as similar unquestioning down-the-line loyalty to his candidate and endless ratioanlizations up his sleave.
Hey, I reallly like Ron Paul (and will vote for him).....but I don't think he is a god who can do no wrong.
