Like Reagan, Rudy has a vision. Also like Reagan, he isn't strong on certain issues, or merely APPEARS to be such; I keep hearing about how Reagan wasn't for big government, but that didn't shrink the size of the government while he was in power; nor did it cut spending; nor did it decrease deficit spending.

So when I hear the caterwauling about how Rudy isn't a "Reagan-style conservative" I have to wonder how many people actually paid attention while RWR was president. (He's still the greatest president of my lifetime, I'm just realistic about him.)

To be fair, his cost-cutting budgets were routinely declared "dead on arrival" by a Democrat Congress.

If anything, Rudy seems to be fiscal conservative while he's NY Mayor.

I like Rudy. I just have a small issue with the second amendment thing. Before I get on Rudy's bandwagon, I will need clarification on it.

I will not vote for anyone that wants to take my guns.
