One has every right to be suspicious of a table proporting to represent Giuliani's positions on issues put together by someone who opposes Giuliani's likely candidacy, when that table provides no footnotes or references to sources. It smacks of the worst of demogogic politics.

The table is true. But let's put that aside for a moment.

What would you do if I proved to you that each and every item in that table was true? What if we agreed to disagree on 1 or maybe 2 items. Would it change YOUR mind? No. You'd find some other reason to excuse Giuliani's liberal, anti-platform views or to rationalize why Rudy has to be elected anyway.

If you really had an open mind and would accept the consequences of discovering Giuliani's opposition to the Party Platform on nearly every issue, then you'd do your own homework and discover what I discovered and spent the time to make a table to demonstrate. But that's not what you'll do. You just want to pretend that it can't be true so that you can ignore it. But all the wishing in the world won't change the reality of Giuliani's anti-Republican views, statements, positions, and record as Mayor.

But Spiff, I thought you said you would save the country? How do you feel you are doing so far?
