Hillary and Rudy aren’t friends.

And Hillary would never decrease taxes 23 times like Rudy did. And Hillary wants to cut and run from Iraq. Hillary hates the military and law enforcement. I could go on but it’s much more amusing for me to watch the politically naive, like you, pretend that a Republican you don’t like is just like Her Shrillness. Carry on.

politically naive

That's funny...I've run for political offices nine times...from Mayor to Selectman to Town Moderator to State Representative...won nine times. What's your record of success in political elections?

You know Peach, the exaggerations, outright lies and slander about Mr. Giuliani only undermines their credibility. Anyway, no one can take such shallow people seriously.

"And Hillary would never decrease taxes 23 times like Rudy did."

Fiscal Conservatism: Rudy is barely a fiscal conservative. He's a big government Republican. Rudy got taxes cut $2.0 billion. But that only offset the $1.8 billion tax increase Mayor Dinkins signed off on a few years earlier. A modest $200 million tax cut. Rudy also froze the 12.5% surcharge on high income earners, but he didn't eliminate the surcharge. Nor did Rudy abolish the city income tax structure. Rudy also left NYCity saddled with a projected, pre-9/11 deficit of $2.0 billion and a $42 billion debt. Second largest behind the federal government. Rudy also added 15,000 new teachers to the city employment rolls, helping to increase the membership of two of America's largest liberal oraganizations. The National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers. Rudy also took all those savings from the cuts in welfare costs and applied them to other city welfare progarms. Really no savings whatsoever. The scope of city services wasn't reduced. In addition, Rudy almost doubled the costs of contractual outsourcing from $3.0 billion to $5.8 billion. He has also refused to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge that has become a mainstay of Republican presidential politics for decades. These are just a few of the things that demonstrate that the myth of Rudy's fiscal conservatism is just that - a myth.

Socially, they are very much alike.
