"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani

Your chart is far from complete.

I can selectively pick issues and make anyone look good or bad.

For example:

Marriage - Clinton -- one marriage. Reagan -- DIVORCED and remarried.

Reagan -- signed liberalizing abortion law as governor. Clinton -- Stated abortion should be rare.

Reagan -- presided over hugh and series budget deficits. Clinton - ran first budget surpluses since 1969.

Reagan -- campaigned for welfare reform but didn't get it done. Clinton -- signed welfare reform bill.

Reagan - From liberal west coast blue state. Clinton - From conservative southern red state.

Reagan -- Bad relationship with biological kids who disrespected him. Clinton - Close with his only child who adored him.

Clinton -- Wife assisted his political career. Reagan - Wife used astrologer to set husband's calendar.

Now I am sure I will be accused of "attacking" Reagan, but in fact I voted for him twice, greatly admire him and despise the ground Clinton walks on. The list above shows how one can selectively take a few facts and grossly misrepresent people. Reagan was a great and true conservative, Clinton was a liberal until it suited his political career to do a few moderate or even conservative things (when he had time away from the intern) -- but that does NOT mean everything Reagan ever did was perfect or everything Clinton did was evil.

We're talking about two politicians here, not Jesus and Satan. Same with Rudy, Hillary and other candidates. Politicians are not, with VERY rare exceptions, Holy Men.

In Rudy's case, we don't need a Spiffy chart to know he is not a social conservative. That's clear. Bulletin for you: Not every voter will make that a litmus test. If it was a litmus test Rudy wouldn't have been invited to The Citadel.
