But I see nothing that he has done in law enforcement that I vehemently disagree with, except gun control.

The Giuliani administration's policy of seizing vehicles from motorists accused of driving while intoxicated -- EVEN IF THE PERSON WAS LATER CLEARED OF THE CHARGES -- was an absolute disgrace, and basically disqualifies this moron from ever holding public office in the United States of America.

But, hey -- once you are willing to acknowlege that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution can be violated at will by a totalitarian government official, what's the big deal about tossing the Fourth Amendment into the trash can, too?

I think you have to look at his record in the context of the environment he was in. It is easy to stand for rigid theoretical principles when you live in a safe, rural or exurban environment. But when you are trying to bring order out of the chaos that was NYC, marshall law was probably the only way it could be accomplished.

Giuliani is a tough, no nonsense leader who will zero in on a few things he considers important and get them done, surrendering some small things to his political opponents to keep them at bay. He is not particularly ideological, that is true. But he is effective because he knows how to set objectives and get them done. I happen to think that is precisely what the country needs right now.

What Republicans need more than anything right now is our power back. Giuliani is the vehicle that will get us there, Republicans can smell Hillary's blood in the water, and nothing in this hit piece is salient enough to stop the Rudy train from proceeding to the presidency.
