Thank you for reinforcing something I have been asking for the past month or so. It is more of an intelligent process to be FOR someone than against someone. The negative (anti) mindset is the hallmark of the Democrat party. They run on no issues and stand for nothing. I trust an argument FOR someone much more than against someone. To spend that much time and effort to attempt to drag someone down should embarrass the author.

I am FOR Rudy in how he deals with terrorists. The 1995 Yassar Arafat incident, the $10M check given back to that smarmy sheik, the refusing to attend the Castro function, The standing up to the obscene depictions of Mary with the elephant poo; the list goes on. He did this in the face of the “conventional” wisdom which sucked up to petty dictators and ignored terrorists. He also provided the needed leadership on 9/11. As far as those who discount that performance of leadership, I ask you to tell me who else has such a resume in this area.

What terrorists has Rudy dealt with beyond his response on 9/11?

The 1995 Yasser Arafat incident, the $10M check given back to that smarmy sheik, the refusing to attend the Castro function, The standing up to the obscene depictions of Mary with the elephant poo; the list goes on.

Any municipal city manager of Podunkville, Anywhere USA could have made those same decisions without any difficulty whatsoever.

To sum up:

NO foreign policy experience.

NO military experience.

NO elected position except for Mayor of NYC.

You want a reason to be 'for' someone? Better keep on looking.

Well, see, I'm not particularly for Rudy in any way, shape or form. Not yet, at least. I simply find the energy expended to post all these "anti-everyone but your candidate" threads to be a bit silly, at best. It is straight from the leftist playbook. I'd much rather see why I should vote for candidate X instead of why candidate Y was a playground bully in 1964, and once pulled the wings off a fly that we're certain was conservative.

After all, the last perfect candidate was nailed to a cross, and I'm fairly certain that isn't the career goal of anyone running in 2008.

Huh. In the incident with the Muslim terrorist in 1997, didn’t Rudy use that as an opportunity to enforce more gun control measures?
