"But if he had a (D) next to his name instead, and held the same positions, everyone would be calling him a liberal and unfit to be president".

Im just curious-Aside from the WOT what is the difference (on social issues) Between Rudy and Kerry?

Or does anyone know where I might find out? something that came up in a conversation and I have no idea!

I don't know about Kerry, but I did some research and created a chart which compares Giuliani's views with Clinton's and also with the Democrat and Republican Party Platforms. I suspect Kerry & Clinton are pretty similar in views, so this chart should apply.

On social issues Rudy is left of Kerry. Kerry at least pretended to not be a gun grabber and did his fake goose hunt.

I'm sure we'll be seeing Rudy in his dress, tromping the cornfields in Iowa trying to pass himself off as a country boy.
