I challenge that. Giuliani can communicate what America is doing for civilization in a way that other candidates cannot. And moving from the cognitive to the emotional, 911 is seared into the brain of every American, whether they like it or not. Talking about 911 puts Iraq and the consequences of failure in context.
Sorry if talking 9/11 was a winner, Bush would have 90% approval. The surge course correction has to work. Iraq has to stand up so we can start to stand down.
If his past is any indication, we will have:
Law and Order... As long as that doesn't include immigration law, laws supporting the Second Amendment or any other laws Rudy personally doesn't like.
Solid Judges ... As long as the judges are liberals like he appointed in NY.
Free markets... Does this mean rent control for the whole Country?
Killing terrorists... He hasn't been involved in this or any other military activity in the past. He actively avoided the draft. But hey, he sure sounds tough.
Sorry, you are asking any conservative to swallow too much.
