So you can easily replace us with liberals and independents? Maybe, maybe not---but regardless, enjoy your NEW Party.
AMEN brother!
Which party is the Third Party? Libertarian?
Ok, but here's what I don't understand. Under a Giuliani presidency gun laws stay pretty much unchanged: some big cities may restrict ownership while other areas of the country may continue to do likewise. Michigan passed a cc law in the past 5 or so years, and I don't see that being overturned under a Rudy White House. In fact, Rudy has recently gone on record stating that he has no plans to change anything regarding the 2nd Amendment--sort of like what Bush has done.
Almost the same thing can be argued regarding abortion. Though I note that Rudy has defended late term abortions in the past, his recent statements run to the contrary. He's essentially pro-choice, but favors parental rights and says he would appoint justices similar to those already appointed by Bush. All in all, I don't see US abortion policy changing much under Rudy from what it is right now.
But in nearly every other area, especially the War, Rudy's views seem quite solid to me. On the war, on defending Israel, he is staunchly conservative. And I see a stark, stone cold contrast between his views and those of any Democrat when it comes to fighting Islamic extremism.
It's hard for me to understand how anyone could claim there was no substantial difference between Rudy and a Democrat candidate.
