Oh, I see, something that is perhaps 1/100th% accurate is acceptable now, is it?

You keep trashing my chart as "inaccurate". Yet you've failed since I researched it and posted it 2 weeks ago to point out a single inaccuracy. I am willing to debate any item on the chart and will make changes as more information comes to light. So far, in the past 2 weeks, I've only had to make minor, semantic tweaks to 2 items on the chart.

I'm debating making a change to Hillary's support of the war in Iraq. While she voted for it and has come under fire in her own party for supporting it, her recent statements WHILE CAMPAIGNING may show otherwise. However, that is what she SAYS now during a campaign, in order to get elected, and not what she has DONE. If I switch her position to opposing the war based upon what she SAYS during the campaign, and not based upon what she's actually DONE, I would have to change a number of Giuliani's positions too. If any candidate had voted against the war and they wanted to say now, in order to get elected, that they actually supported the war, you would insist upon saying that they're against the war. Right? It works the same way in reverse. Of course there's her recent vote in the Senate about funding for the war. I've even taken that into consideration and still, that was a purely political vote, it was non-binding. That's why Hillary's block on her support for the Iraq War is pink, not red, demonstrating weak support and stating that she "voted for it".

As I've said before, the chart is weighted heavily towards what the candidates have DONE in the past, and what their statements have been before they were speaking in CampaignSpeak as they were running for President. Anything they SAY now must be weighed against what they've actually DONE in the past and what they've said in more candid moments.

Here's the chart one more time. If you want to debate any portion of it. Be my guest. Every time someone does, it helps me refine it and increase its accuracy.

"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

Looks pretty accurate to me.

How about adding McManiac and any other candidates for the Republican party nomination to the chart?

Should be quite interesting to see which R's actually have acted in accordance with the Party platform and who haven't - and which group the MSM is touting as a contender...

Looks at least 99.44% accurate to me. Hey, nopardons, what say you?

Shes pulling on your chain, Spiff!!!

Your chart is accurate and it tells the story of Rudy`s liberal record versus Hillary's liberal record, versus both political party`s platforms. Its a report card on Rudy`s failures at being a conservative Republican. He is nothing more then a liberal RINO. Keep the chart up to date and don't pay attention to the silly juvenile rhetoric from the peanut gallery on FR.

I've been posting information on Rudy`s FINAL fiscal record as Mayor of NYCity for the last 5-6 months. That information comes DIRECTLY from the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. A NYCity based think tank that has had friendly relations with Giuliani since his time as Mayor. In all that time, IIRC, only two FReepers have made any legitimate attempt to challenge the facts contained in my posting and in the end, they both failed miserably.

The Rudy-Rooters don't like their boy being challenged. They don't like the truth being used to criticize their boy. They want to ignore the facts of Rudy`s liberal record and hope that maybe everyone else will too. Ain't gonna happen. Conservatives who know better need to stay focused and remain on the political offensive against the anti-conservative forces of moderation, centrism and liberalism. Its bound to get worse as time passes. But our goal shouldn't change. Rudy must be STOPPED !!!

Nice chart, Spiff!

Please show me the quote where Giuliani said he supported Roe v Wade.

Thank you
