One also knows a political leader by the action he takes. As mayor, Mr. Giuliani took on the nanny state that city government had become, reducing the dependency that had one in seven New Yorkers living off government support. As for New York's huge welfare rolls, he more than halved them and had more than 100,000 welfare recipients finding work annually by 1999. He cleaned up the crime-ridden streets, cutting crime by 64% and murder by 67%. By cutting spending and taxes, he turned an economic basket case into an economic marvel. In eight years he reduced or extinguished 23 taxes. Every year he was in office, New York City's economy grew faster than the nation's.

And since the mods are clearly not minding that anti-Rudy freepers are posting their old news, I'm sure they won't mind that I post my news supportive of Rudy.

Please try searching before posting an article for the third time.
Indeed, in one recent poll, majorities of Republicans who were informed of Giuliani’s views on social issues said that they were either minor issues or no issues at all; only 16% said that they wouldn't vote for him after being informed of these views.
In the online GOP Bloggers poll, Giuliani is consistently one of the few candidates to end up with a net positive acceptability rating. These internet denizens are well-informed, and overwhelmingly self-describe as conservative (78% self-describe as 7 or higher on a 10-scale of conservatism). If these people can support Rudy, anyone can.

Hon, clearly don't understand that the rules have changed.
There are now several about Rudy that are from the 90's and were posted already.
And spam, which used to be forbidden, is indeed encouraged.
White evangelical Protestants now clearly favor Rudy Giuliani over Sen. John McCain, "despite his support of abortion rights and gay rights, two issues of great importance to religious conservatives."

How recently since they were first posted?
This one was posted roughly 3 weeks ago, and it's not from the nineties.
Not since TR
Not Since George Washington
Not Since Moses
What the heck Not since GOD.
And Rudy replaced them with 100,000+ illegal aliens by ignoring immigration law enforcement. Talk about cooking the books.
I've seen stories posted within the last week or so by anti-Rudy posters that have been posted months ago and searchable in the archives. Two stories posted by the founder.
Exactly. And since the rules have so clearly changed, I think maybe I should go through my list of 100 Rudy articles and repost every one of them. LOL
There might be a few I haven't seen yet. LOL
I think all the Rudy supporters should repost articles they particularly like. Since the mods don't mind and the rules have so clearly changed, we should just go for it. LOL
If I run across any positive stories, I'll post them. LOL
That's a ringing endorsement with the numbers to back it up. However, Ru-Dee needs to do something about his position on the 2ND Amendment, partial-birth abortion, and gay marriage....

Come on, stop the repetitive SPAM
Why does the guy like to dress up in drag? Sure I did it for Halloween once and in a high school play but....
TR had more political experience than Rudy. Roosevelt was a state legislator, assistant secretary of the navy and a governor of New York. Rudy was a mayor and nothing higher.
Maybe you aren't aware, but NYC has a larger economy than all but 5-6 states.
And, I'm not positive so don't quote me, but I think I've read that the police department in NYC is larger than the entire FBI.
