Unfortunately some of those principles include collecting guns, having aboritions, promoting gay marriage, etc.

You have to have a set of beliefs. And we know what his are. Just say no to Rudy.

Guliani and McCain are both unacceptable candidates.
Guliani is too in love with big government, and McCain has no respect for the Constitution.
The media is trying to crown one of them. I admit that I respect Guliani for his leadership after 9/11. But I'm not voting for any more big government statists.

Wrong answer, the correct answer is that the government may not do so legally. The government may have the physical power, but not any constitutional permission to do so. Most of the citizens of NY may want all guns wiped from the planet, but the Constitution exists to define the rights of the minority choosing to own firearms. We have a surplus of ignorant politicians as it is, without electing another one.

I heard Rudy speak two years ago at a community forum in Sacramento. I was never much of a Giuliani fan before that, but I was after that day. He's about the only politician today who has a clear concept of what constitutes effective leadership.

How much did they pay the reporter for this absurd fluff piece?
The fact he is a "former" prosecutor is a deficit considering how much Nifong has exposed the ROUTINE prosecutorial behavior.
The article also glosses over how PRO-gun control and anti-second amendment Rudy is. It also makes ZERO mention that his staffers are leftists far more than conservative.
This also goes into the fact that his is pro-homosexual marriage. He may dance around the issue or play games by delaying until it is too late but the fact is the fact.
Rudy is a RINO.

He said Bush made the biggest decision of his presidency after the attacks, "to go on the offensive against terrorism," and said going to Iraq was part of that strategy. I had no problem with this justification for going into Iraq. Saddam clearly coddled terrorists, and al Zarqawi/al Qaeda was given entrance to Iraq as a base of operations when they were forced to leave Afghanistan.
But if anyone questions these observations, they need to recognize that since the fall of Saddam, Iraq has become THE major battleground for the war on terrorism, as al Qaeda-types and other freelance terrorists have gravitated into Iraq to directly challenge the US presence there. It has actually be a brilliant strategy to fight terrorists in the provinces of Iraq rather than in the cities of the America. Failure in Iraq is not an option. It's sad that so many Americans have slipped back into a mode where all they care about is who the next "American Idol" is going to be, have become "bored" with the war on terror, and have gone back to expecting goodies from the Democrats. Actually, it's more than sad, it's dangerous.

Giuliani leads because he has somehow kept some of his male hormone apparatus intact.

I like Rudy as a person. I respect him for the leadership he provided to NY after 9/11. But I can't vote for him in a primary. He and I disagree on the social issues too much.

The six principles Rudy Giuliani said are necessary to make a good leader: You have to have a set of beliefs. You have to be an optimist. You have to have courage. You have to take risks, but prepare for them. You have to develop teamwork. You have to communicate. Judy Riuliani's REAL principles:
- Killing unborn children is fun and profitable.
- Gays are hip and deserve special rights no matter what it does to the traditional family and society in general.
- The only good gun is a government-confiscated gun.
- Serial adultery is better than marriage any day.
- Illegal aliens are people too - people who are entitled to jobs, government benefits, and citizenship.
- No matter how much they itch, I still look sexy in black hose and fishnet.
- Don't mention Bernie Kerik.

I have no doubt in my mind that Rudy Giuliani is a very principled person (he's a breath of fresh air, in that regard).
My concern is that most of his stated principles are anathema to principled conservatives.
