I suspect Rudy doesn't have the skills, nor any clue, as to how to run th ountry. The country is far different than NYC. What he did in NYC will NOT work for the country as a whole.
Quotes like this won't play well, either: "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it." -Mayor Giuliani, New York Newsday pg A3 4/20/98 especially when played against this one: "State authority must provide for peace and order, and peace and order in turn must conversely make possible the existence of state authority. Within these two poles all life must now revolve...Ideas of 'freedom,' mostly of a misunderstood nature, inject themselves into the state conceptions of these circles". -Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf
Als, his own mother doesn't trust him: In an unpublished 1988 interview (quoted by Barrett in Rudy!), Helen Giuliani said of her son: "He only became a Republican after he began to get all these jobs from them. He's definitely not a conservative Republican. He thinks he is, but he isn't."
WHAT EXPERIENCE??? Being a Senator??? We have knocked down more Senators with more experience than Fred Thomopson when they wanted to run for president. Conservative credentials? No more than other Senators who have wanted to run. What is so special about him that makes a man who never governed in his life and was a Senator like all the others more qualified? Is it his TV personality or is there something else besides his voice and tallness that does it? Other Senators who wanted to run had just as much experience if not more than him and we knocked them down faster.
