"Giuliani has a conservative worldview. As Steven Malanga noted in City Journal, "Far from being a liberal, he ran New York with a conservative's priorities." Government exists above all to keep people safe in their homes and in the streets, he said, not to redistribute income, run a welfare state, or perform social engineering. The private economy, not government, creates opportunity, he argued; government should just deliver basic services well and then get out of the private sector's way. He denied that cities and their citizens were victims of vast forces outside their control, and he urged New Yorkers to take personal responsibility for their lives."
Giuliani has a record he can run on. Unlike McCain, his main rival for the Republican nomination, or his Democratic counterparts Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, or John Edwards, he is not a product of the U.S. Two years ago, I wrote a column, "NYC crime rate cut with penalties," in which I detailed the success of Rudy Giuliani's robust policing where homicides fell by 67 percent under his leadership. Abortions dropped 16.9 percent during his reign, the foster care population fell 38 percent as over 17,000 children were adopted, 17 charter schools were established, and over 20 percent of taxes where slashed, saving the tax payers over $9.8 billion. These are a few of the tangible results Giuliani accomplished as mayor."
Don't forget asinine law suits against gun manufacturers!
