If Giuliani was motivated by poll numbers he would have thrown the NYPD under a bus a while back, sometime in the late 90s, when the NY media was screaming for him to come down hard on a couple of cops who killed a black man while doing their jobs. Instead, Rudy stood by the cops and told the media to go have sex with themselves. Doesn't sound like being motivated by polls to me.
I agree with you, well written statement. I wasnt saying Giuliani was a popluist, I was responting to a statement written about McCain. I was calling McCain a populist. I disagree with Giliani on abortion, but other than that, I think he is a good conservative leader.
