Also, it claims that Hillary supports the War on Terror, which is false, she would surrender. It claims that Hillary supports the Patriot Act, because she voted with the Democratic leadership, while that's absolute nonsense. As president, she would act differently. Rudy, on the other hand, campaigned for Mike DeWine, saying that he could help save the Patriot Act.

The chart is not wholly based upon what the candidates are saying right now to get elected. In fact, the chart takes into account and weighs more heavily past performance and statements before a presidential run was announced. If you will notice, the entries for Hillary's views on the War in Iraq and the Patriot Act are colored pink - not red - demonstrating weak or changed support for those things. Each one also has a qualifier to help the astute reader understand that the position is based upon an actual vote. In the case of the Patriot Act, Hillary voted for it two times. In the case of the War in Iraq, she voted for it once. There's a lot of rhetoric coming out of her mouth now, but that doesn't change the fact that she voted for it.

That being said, even if you disagree with the last 3 items in the chart, that doesn't erase the rest of the chart. It would only show that Giuliani is in disagreement with Hillary on just 3 items on the chart, ignoring the rest of the chart entirely.

Amazing. A 2003 vote is more important than what she would do as President? I could make President Bush seem to the left of Howard Dean, if I was as dishonest.

By the way, it's not 'the chart'. It's your fabrication, centered around social issues. It's the economic issues that are more important and that you completely ignore.
