No, I mean CONSERVATIVE- of any stripe. Anti-crime (mostly), pro business, anti-bureacracy and pro military. All sounds good so far. The rest comes in left of center.

Lets leave out the morality of Abortion and Gay "rights":

Where does he stand on the following:

Hate Crimes legislation (anti-constitutional)
Gun control (anti-constitutional)
Illegal Immigration (anti american)
Global Warming (Anti-business leftist wet dream)
History of Judges (not good)
Support for democratic candidates (leftism)
Support of the GOP platform (weak)
Condoms for schoolkids (leftism)
Free speech (mixed record)
Extorting legal businesses (sued tobacco and firearms manufacturers)
Gov't paid abortions: (leftism)
Welfare for illegal aliens (criminal)
Good judge of charater (questionable)
Federal $$ for daycare (leftism)
Freedom = authority (nuts)
calls himself Progressive (leftism)
Considered Goldwater a Bircher (nuts)
Hate Crimes Legislation (leftism)
Rekindler of "rockefeller tradition" - his words(leftism)
Solicited the Liberal Party nomination (lefism)
Supporter of Bill Weld for 1996 GOP nominee (liberal)
Rent Control advocate (leftism)
Roe V. Wade is "good law" (anti-constitutional)

Anti-crime (mostly), pro business, anti-bureacracy and pro military.

Rudy is all of those, and that makes him a fiscal conservative.

So, calling him a 'liberal' cuz you disagree with him on some issues is just name-calling, and not helping your cause. :-) In my opinion, of course.

Plenty of "real conservatives" are willing to vote Rudy in the general election if it comes down to him v. a hated D like Hilly.

Because at least he's fiscal conservative.

Your accurate list just about sums-up the fraud that is Rudeo. Rudeo should get out of the race and out of the Repuub party NOW. He's a danger to the US and to our national security.

This so-called "security expert" tried to foist his ex-bodyguard and driver, Bernie Kerik, on us. So-called "security expert" Rudy never "knew" Kerik was a mobbed-up, government fraudster when he pushed Kerik on GWB for Home/Land/Sec. So-called "security expert" Rudy had the ummitigated gall to sic this shady guy on the nation to protect OUR security.

Believe it or not---Rudy and Kerik ran a "security firm." So-called "security expert" Rudy never vetted Kerik for illegal immigrant problems, mob ties, and other shady activities. So-called "security expert" Rudy never knew Kerik had problems way back, as NYC Correction Commissioner, a job given to him by Giuliani.

Last year, Kerik pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor corruption charges, one of them for letting an alleged mob-tied firm renovate his apartment at no cost. He was fined $221,000.

Fast forward to March 13, 2007: Ex-commissioner Kerik rejected a plea deal offered by federal prosecutors that would have required Kerik to serve time in prison. The deal would have Kerik plead guilty to tax fraud and illegal eavesdropping conspiracy charges in exchange for his guilty plea.

Investigators were willing to end the federal criminal probe into Kerik's alleged wrongdoing which includes allegations of mortgage fraud, tax fraud, conspiracy to eavesdrop and making false statements on his application to become U.S. Homeland Security Secretary.

As part of the investigation, officials want to know if Kerik received use of a midtown Manhattan apartment for sexual liasions after 9/11 from a prominent real estate developer without ever having claimed use of that apartment on any tax or disclosure forms.
