>>>>>1. Rudy Giuliani is really a conservative. Freepers who use this argument will often cite examples -- sometimes accurate, sometimes exaggerated, but occasionally even downright false .... The biggest flaw in this approach is that his track record is only conservative if you focus entirely on these specific issues and ignore the rest of them.
This references the obligatory list of accomplishments while Rudy was Mayor of NYCity. Accomplishments by NYCity standards maybe, not by conservative standards, however. Acting with some fiscal restraint doesn't make Rudy a fiscal conservative. Since we know that Rudy is a social liberal, by any honest standard of measure, we know that he isn't interested in those issues important to most conservatives. And this starts with his support for big government, more gun control, abortion on demand, amnesty and gay rights.
Sorry Rudy, I'll pass on your liberalism.
Thanks, Reagan. Very good points there.
