Right...

Clinton vetoed partial birth abortion
Clinton signed assault weapons ban
Clinton started "dont ask dont tell" for the military
Illegal Immigration is an issue for all presidents
Clinton passed defense of marriage act, something rudy would not do.

Social issues hit a president's desk often, nice try for saying they are non issues. Rudy will go the wrong way on all of them.

In my opinion the issues you raise:
1) I am personally opposed to abortion, including partial birth, but this pba affects a minuscule number of abortions and in the panoply of Presidential issues ranks extremely low;
(2) I though the assault weapons ban was not only stupid, but ineffective, but frankly, if you study the constitutional law, not unconstitutional. I am concerned about going beyond awb, but again, this issue is not huge (but more important than #1);
(3) I actually agree with this policy. Bad Behavior is what should be punished in our military justice system. I don't have a problem with gays in the military, as long as their behavior sticks to military norms;
(4) I think marriage is between a man and a woman, but I believe in states rights. I resent Judicial fiat, and therefore support the defense of marriage act, but frankly, is a state wants to allow gay marriage, that state should be allowed to do so;

These issues weight very little on the keys to Presidential Power. They may be more important to you than national defense, homeland security, fiscal sanity and free enterprise and private property rights, but not to me.

Forgot the Illegal Immigration:

THAT is an important issue. I don't recall Rudy weighing in on that issue.
