Giuliani was a very strong and capable leader as mayor of New York. He took a city that was a financial basket case, with riots out of control, tourists afraid to visit, businesses leaving town, crime all over the place, and step by step he straightened it all out.

The press attacked him constantly, and he gave them as good as he got. When the police were obliged to shoot black criminals, for instance, he stood up for them, and faced the press down. Every other mayor had given in on this kind of issue. Dinkins even pulled the police out and let blacks riot for three days without even a policeman in sight. As a result, a young Hasidic Jew was murdered.

Giuliani attended every funeral for a policeman or fireman killed in the line of duty, from the time he took office. And again after 9/11.

I don't think there's any doubt that he would be a strong leader of the War on Terror. McCain was in the military but was an incompetent who lost five of his own planes, was taken prisoner, and may have betrayed his country.

BUT, he just said a few days ago that he's sticking to his view that a woman has a RIGHT to an abortion. Very, very disappointing.

And he's weak on several other issues, including the Second Amendment.

So, unless things change, I can no longer justify voting for him.

What the heck is wrong with some of you? Like I said, I'm no McCain fan, but to just keep throwing that out there is irresponsible. You're no better than the MSM.
