>>>>>Thanks for posting that. I thought he was a fiscal conservative.

You're welcome. Always knew Rudy was a hardcore lefty liberal on the social issues. Up until a year ago, I honestly thought Rudy was a fiscal conservative of sorts and have mentioned on several occaions over the years on this forum. Last summer I began to do my own research into Rudy`s fiscal record as Mayor of NYCity, and turned up plenty of data and information that showed Rudy was no fiscal conservative. Rudy may have had some limited success imposing fiscal restraint on the city budget. However, while Rudy was fiscally responsible by NYCity standards, he was no fiscal conservative.

I stand by my post. There is no reason for the Manhattan Institute or Edmund J. McMahon to post falsehoods. After all, the MI and Rudy have had a close working relationship for 20 years.

Well, he still has a cute smile. A woman I used to know told me she voted for Clinton because he played the sax. She was serious! I've recognized her type around here lately. It's spooky.

Well, there we have it. As we've seen, Rudy is neither a fiscal conservative, nor strong on the war on terror. To be quite frank, not even Clinton would have been foolish enough to see a terrorist attack and call for gun control.

Which leaves us with the question of why the 15%ers are still promoting him as a candidate? Could it be they prefer to live in a democrat-flavored world?
