If pointing out that Rudy's stances more than anything are mostly liberal and on KEY issues is name-calling, why don't you people think of what YOU are saying about YOUR candidate! Obviously something's not right there.
I do not think that criticizing Rudy's stances is name-calling; I have no problem whatsoever with the policy foodfight that happens in every primary. I was referring to the actual name-calling which infuses many anti-Rudy posts.
The 'key' issues are the war, spending, crime, good management.
Rudy's fine on those.
There are other issues he's weak on -- just like most candidates. Is he Reagan II? Probably not. But, if he wins the nomination, we could do much, much worse. He'd do a good job.
