That's your interpretation of his statements. Of course, you try to be as negative as you can, while I did my best to be fair. Being President is very, very differnt from being a mayor. And I hope that in 2010, we can have a debate about what a good President Rudy has been. I think you'll be surprised.
Of course this is about abortion. People who oppose abortion and view it as murder, view Rudy as someone who is supporting legal murder. Thus, they are more likely to regard him as an evil person who is trying to trick conservatives into electing someone who will govern as a liberal. I don't think that's the case.
Gun control is another "indicator" issue . . . and perhaps an even stronger one than abortion in the minds of most conservatives.
Anyone who fails on these two issues -- especially someone who fails as badly as Rudy Giuliani does -- has no credibility as a conservative.
That's your interpretation of his statements.
I don't know what statements you're referring to, but everything I've ever cited in my posts related to Giuliani's campaign was spoken by the guy in plain English.
Of course, you try to be as negative as you can, while I did my best to be fair.
I didn't try to be negative at all. In fact, I went out of my way to assign "Not Applicable" grades on some issues where I personally would have given him a 0.
Being President is very, very differnt from being a mayor.
Of course. But don't ever use this excuse to whitewash a candidate's track record -- because it applies across the board. Being president is very different from being governor of Arkansas . . . being president is very different from being a Frankenstein-looking gigolo from Massachusetts . . . being president is very different from being a jug-eared Muslim senator from Illinois, etc.
