Your rhetoric is way over the top. On defense, Giuliani has the most outspoken pro-American views, and he has a solid economic record.
I agree Giuliani’s social views are left-fringe, but please, keep things in perspective. What’s *your* alternative? Duncan Hunter, a Herbert Hoover-style protectionist? Or Fred Thompson, who looks like 2008’s unserious unenthusiatic Wes Clark candidate? I’d like to know.
If a diplo-pacifist Democrat wins this election, America loses. The next president will be facing an suicidal Iranian government on the verge of nukes that will use the weapons for their apocalypse. In this context, I’d even put McCain in power if Hillary was the alternative.
"On defense, Giuliani has the most outspoken pro-American views, and he has a solid economic record."
It’s official: According to Mayor Giuliani’s latest fiscal plan, the next mayor will face a budget gap of $2.7 billion – which, if it actually materializes, will be $400 million more than the one Giuliani inherited from David Dinkins.
So much for the long term. Unfortunately, the short term doesn’t look so hot, either.
New York’s budget is still balanced, technically. But subtract last year’s leftover surplus, and the city would be running an operating deficit of $400 million, growing to $2.4 billion in the fiscal year that begins July 1. By the time Giuliani’s successor puts together his first fiscal plan, there won’t be much surplus left to work with.
The main culprit: city operations spending, which is up roughly 25 percent over the last four years and would grow another 4 percent next year under Giuliani’s plan….
At an absolute minimum, New York will still be locked into a trend of spending a half-billion or so more dollars than it collects in revenue every year – despite imposing the heaviest tax burden of any major city in the country.

Your rhetoric is way over the top. Sometimes harsh rhetoric is needed. When we have Giuliani supporters here calling him a "saviour," on Easter weekend even, I would call that a time to meet fire with fire.
On defense, Giuliani has the most outspoken pro-American views Bogus. NYC has hundreds of thousands of illegal foreign nationals living there because of Giuliani's flouting of our laws...laws designed to protect our national security. Neither he, nor you, know exactly who those people are.
Additionally, the Second Amendment is the ultimate protection for our national security, and Giuliani has a record of treating it like toilet paper.
