hp, you have to 'splain this one. Yes they are the same on some social issues BUT...and it's a big BUT;
Hillary is a closet Socialist who is on tape accidentally proclaiming her true agenda with the "I want to take those profits..." rant against the oil companies.
Rudy preaches free market, supply side Friedman economic theory.
Hillary wants to surrender to al Qaeda because that is the popular opinion that will win her votes and allow her to obtain power for its own sake. (if 95% of the people were in favor of the war, we know she would be too), whereas Rudy would probably beat the insane islamofascists over the head with a crowbar himself.
Yes, they are both pro-killing a helpless infant and that bothers me. But it's not fair to say they are identical.
Rudy is on record that he will appoint judges like Scalia and Alito, and TEd Olson is validating that, while we all know what kind of judges Hillary will appoint.
Most conservatives are Socialist also.. since (SSA)Social Security is PURE SOCIALISM.. not kind of like socialism but abject PURE socialism.. and conservatives are FOR Social Security..
