***Rudy like all Northern Republicans have to be liberal on some social issues merely to survive politically in those states.***

Oh please, that's utter hogwash.
Rudy's from NY, IS NY, will always be NY. And he always WAS a liberal and always WILL be a liberal. That's who he is. A tough on crime Liberal statist, who calls himself a republican.

And lest we forget, Rudy was a Democrat - and not like RR where the party left him. Rudy changed for political expediency.

Plus he talks funny.
At least 'Da Mare', Richie Daley went to a speech coach.

Oh and Bush gets a pass on his left leanings and he is from Texas and Guliani who isn't half the gun grabber as Bush and gets no such pass. Hmm
