Not to mention his NYC liberal pals of the justice department as his nominee pool and advisors,

his NYC attitude to eminent domain. (all his former mayor pals)

his atipathy to INDIVIDUAL gun rights. (or his law school left wing miseducation about the second amendment.)

You got that right. His intrusion in GOP politics is an insult to social conservatives----who are central to the Repub party's winning strategy. This guy's got a history that makes one cringe.

A LOOK AT RUDY'S PAST IS A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE.

...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, scheming to get an occupational deferment is a far cry from present-day Rudy's assertions, that he opposed the Viet war on "tactical and strategic grounds."

Egocentric Rudy's "tactical and strategic grounds" blather is nothing but a naked attempt to pump his 2008 resume in the the absence of solid military credentials. In a Kerryesque-like statement, Giuliani once said of the Vietnam war, "I disagreed with it."

Anyone who dismisses the significance of Vietnam as a potential issue in the 2008 campaign is forgetting how surprisingly potent it proved in 2004, when there was enormous interest in the military records of both President Bush and Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
