"he ran New York with a conservative's priorities: government exists above all to keep people safe in their homes and in the streets, he said, not to redistribute income, run a welfare state, or perform social engineering. The private economy, not government, creates opportunity, he argued; government should just deliver basic services well and then get out of the private sector's way."
But that's not enough.

Yes, it is enough.

If you want social engineering, join the party that favors it. It starts with "D" and ends with "rat".

Uh...gay marriage is "social engineering," if anything ever was, and RINO Rudy can bring himself to oppose it unequivocally. And partial birth infanticide is murder. If this so-called hard-line "anti-crime" guy can't even speak unequivocally against that either, he's completely untrustworthy.

Few people here seem to remember that Richard Nixon campaigned for the nomination in 1968 sounding like Goldwater. It's what RINOs and unprincipled pragmatists like Nixon do to con the Republican base. Once in office, Nixon gave us the VietNam bailout, wage & price controls, and other horrors. That's what you get when you fall for RINO doubleltalk, like that Rudy and Mitt are handing us now.
