This is one of the characteristics that I like best about Rudy, he doesn't back down. Scooter Libby would not be in the position that he is in now, if Rudy was in the Whitehouse instead of Bush. Bush seems like he just can't believe that the left hates him the way that it does. He just keeps trying to make them like him. It drives me crazy.
Yes. The important thing is to have a tough president who is with us much of the time and won't actively pursue a liberal agenda on the issues where he disagrees with us. Rudy seems to fit that description, though I'm still open to Romney. What we've had in W. is a president who is right on all but a couple of our issues, but neither understands nor fights the Democrats. Give me a fighter any day.
