It amazes me still how the Rudyophiles persist in promoting their guy as a 'proven leader', who will 'be tough on terrorism and illegal immigration', and will be a 'solid supply-sider', yet when a Rudyophile is asked for specific accounts to back up these wild claims they suddenly become silent.

Well, he did a good job on 911 when he went on live TV and told people to move north. Oh, and he did attend a lot of funerals of firemen.

And, let's see...what else? Hmmm, give me a couple of weeks to think and I'll get back to you.

As you yourself insightfully posted----all he has to do is tell non-NYC residents out on the campaign trail: " Just vote for me, if you lived in New York City when I was mayor you'd understand why!"

(Poster laughs uproariously).

"Wild claims"?
Rudy is one of the best mayors New York has ever had, with a very solid record of achievements, including his very tough fight against crime that resulted in huge reductions in murders and crimes of every kind.
Even before he became mayor he took and the mafia, and put many of them away.
He is a proven leader alright.
Something you can't say about Hitlery or McCain for that matter.
