We all hate the Hildebeast here.
I am from NY, saw Rudy's leadership firsthand during 9/11 and before that I witnessed NYC transformed from a dangerous liberal cesspool run by Demonrats to a shining city brought back from the dead.
The success of Rudy post-9/11 has more to do with what the man did for the city beforehand rather than his televised activities after the attacks. One need just look at New Orleans after Katrina to get a glimpse of what socialist dependance does to a city in turmoil.
A lot of the dirt on Rudy is due to his needing to run left to win in NYC. I still remember the night he beat Dinkins in '93- I was absolutely elated as my grandfather passed in 1991 and was so disapponted when Rudy lost in '89.
Mark my words- Rudy is a liberal's worst nightmare. The despise him. He will fight them more than you can imagine and certainly more than any Washington GOPer (RINO or not) will ever dream of.
Republicans have not seen a fighter like this in our lifetime.
He cut 23 taxes - returning over $2 billion to taxpayers.
He shrunk the welfare rolls by 600,000.
He reduced the number of murders from over 2000 when he took office, to just over 600 when he left.
I'm looking to vote for a candidate to head my government, not to head my church.
