On many threads I have asked why the Rudy supporters like him. There are only two answers.
1. He "is the only one who can Beat Hillary"
2. He "Will be great in the war on terror."
Neither is a provable statement. But we are just supposed to march along like good little girls and boys and not worry about it.
You forgot #3. He stopped public urination also.
I like Rudy, because,
In addition to the two you cited, I add:
1) He has demonstrated leadership in his career as a crime fighting US attorney and Mayor;
2) He has demonstrated strong convictions on several occasions regarding the treatment of terrorists like Arafat and others;
3) As mayor he cut taxes, balanced the budget and significantly reduced crime.
4) I like the majority of his positions (I don't totally agree with his position on abortion or immigration)
Rino Rudy will not win, he will split the party.
2. He "Will be great in the war on terror."
That strategy plays great with the chicken little crowd in the big coastal cities. Of course, those are democrat strongholds.
Do you remember last week when those flashy cartoon characters caused pandemonium & hysteria and entirely shut down Boston? They even closed the river! Were you laughing your butt off or was it just me?
