Rudy put an end to John Gotti's reign of terror and helped crush La Cosa Nostra. He took a city on the brink of bankruptsy and anarchy and made it a good place to live. And when his friends, neighbors, and constituants were attacked, he risked his own life on their behalf.

Why do you insist on denying this or dismissing it as insignificant?

Just for the record, Giuliani didn't have anything to do with Gotti's eventual downfall. He did prosecute the heads of the five families in the 80s, but Gotti didn't get taken down until 1992.

It is insignificant to me.

Prosecuting criminals, financial responsibility and being a booster of the city, state and nation are the mere basics demanded by conservatives.

No doubt Rudy is a pretty good guy, he'd be interesting and fun to talk with, but he's not going to get my vote.

On the guns issue alone, he very enthusiastically used gun control and still ongoing lawsuits against law abiding gun dealers and manufacturers while mayor of New York city.

Now he says while that was good for NYC, it might not be good for the rest of America. That's just not good enough.

Just as Clinton's promised a middle class tax cut turned into the largest tax increase in the history of the world, I can see Rudy telling us how he worked harder than he ever worked before, but he's just going to have to confiscate our guns. No Thanks!
