Fred has admittted that both votes were mistakes. He's still not comfortable with having interests who donate large sums of cash to politicians benefit when issues which favor those same interests are voted on by those same politicians. Neither am I. Fred realizes that McCain Feingold didn't solve the problem, and he would like to find a way to solve it. On immigration, he has admitted that he (and Ronald Reagan by default) were wrong in 1986. He supports sealing the borders and removing all incentives for illegals to stay before any other actions are taken.
In contrast, Rudy supports total amnesty and has declared NYC to be a sanctuary for invaders, in open defiance of U.S. immigration law.
Can't you see the difference here?
So, as a leader he's not certain of his own actions?
