Oh right----almost forgot. /s
No doubt Rudy's war (gag) credential far exceed his family values.
As far back as 1993, when he ran for mayor of New York City, Giuliani was dogged by accusations that he pulled strings to avoid the draft. In fact, Rudy wangled a rare occupational deferment from serving in the Vietnam war in 1969, when he was a law clerk.
However, Rudy's scheming to get an occupational deferment is a far cry from 2008 Rudy's assertions, that he opposed the Viet war on "tactical and strategic grounds."
No kidding, Rudeo?
Rudeo's "tactical and strategic grounds" blather is nothing but a naked attempt to pump his 2008 resume in the absence of solid military credentials.
"Peace through strength" was the Reagan line Rudy kept regurgitating at CPAC. I guess he can call on his "military" experience as a law clerk for that. /s
Least we forget that Rudy is a MEMBER of a group that FUNDS the antiwar movement?!?!

Good Rudy Analysis [Rich Lowry]
From the Hotline:
We all know what happened the last time Giuliani faced bad press about his family in the midst of a heated campaign. He quit. What he learned in '00 SEN will determine how he responds to new reports about strained relations with his kids. And that response could say lots about the GOP frontrunner's WH'08 prospects.
— In other words, it's not the report, it's the response. Strong candidates can overcome perceptions of family discord (even children's refusal to campaign) if they frame it as a common personal struggle, and don't dismiss it as irrelevant. As he made clear in '00, Giuliani thinks his family is quite relevant.
— Then again, is this just the beginning of hard times for Giuliani? Rumors have circulated for weeks that rival camps are planning anti-Rudy oppo-drops on a range of topics. Following a month in which he made inroads to conservatives, is more bad press just around the corner? And if you're McCain or Romney, how do you respond? Pile on? Or back away?
— Camp Rudy has never had the thickest skin. If last weekend was any indication, they might want to grow one.
