I'd basically agree, although President Bush is a visibly religious man, and Giuliani is not. That clearly has an effect on some of their policies. Overall, as a practical matter, they're far more similar than they are different.
What I see in Rudy that I don't see in W is a willingness to grab his enemies by the throat and choke them to death. Call me old fashioned, but I long ago read W's "new tone" as weakness. He gets steamrollered left and right, and is inarticulate and timid when dealing with the Dems. Say what you will about Rudy, but he goes after his enemies with a branding iron, and leaves a mark.
I'm tired of watching my President thrown around like a rag doll. I want a fighter.
That would be covered by my clause "but without the morality".

I think Bush has shown the ability and will to do that. It's just his list of "enemies" is much shorter than you would like it to be. He didn't coddle Saddam, or Al Qaeda, or terrorists in guantanamo. He does coddle democrats but he doesn't see them as the enemy.
