BTW, the "conservative" GWB would have signed the assault weapon ban, and in my view he hasn't spoken much, a President can and should speak about these things, about abortion. Gay marriage is all he's brought to the table on these issues, and he knew an amendment was going nowhere. He's not all that much different that Rudy.
Unfortunately, that says more about the President than it does about Rudolph Giuliani's suitibility to be the nominee of the conservative party.
