Rudy Giuliani would make a superb president. he combines Reaganesque vision with extraordinary attention to detail. He is strong on national security and also has the principles and policies to strengthen the economy. He is a tax cutter and a foe of the federal income tax's complexity.
He is a fervent free trader, much needed, as global protectionist pressures are rising. He has also demonstrated an antipathy toward unnecessary regulation. If Sarbanes-Oxley hasn't been amended by the time Giuliani takes office, he will push hard to remove its counterproductive elements.
While I disagree with him in certain areas--I am pro-life, and he is pro-choice--he has made it abundantly clear that he would appoint John Roberts/Samuel Alito-type judges to the federal bench.
Giuliani cut or eliminated 23 taxes. The top rate for the city income tax, for instance, was knocked down by 21%. The overall tax burden for a New York City resident went down a remarkable 17%.
During Giuliani's tenure the Big Apple's economy blossomed: 423,000 new jobs were created. More people were moving into the city than leaving it. That he achieved so much going against a generations-old spend-tax-welfare political ethos is astonishing.

Steve Forbes might be able to buy my vote for rudie but he will not be able to help much with the price I would charge. There is no way rudie julie-annie will ever be my President. He is the wrong man at any time. Go away you stinking liberal pos.
While simultaneously saying that abortion should be funded by federal funding (taxpayers).
Not buying it. Nope.
Fortunately, the person I was posting to understood me.
Do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
What else is there to say? It’s an article that everyone’s seen before. Not much to add.
I see you are anxious to do Hillary’s dirty work for her:
Rush Limbaugh: It’s All About the Clintons and ‘08 (80% chance HRC pres)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1818569/posts
Rush: “But we’re gearing up for this election, and if you don’t think that in the Drive-By Media and the Democrat Party, if you don’t think 2008 is all about the Clintons getting back in the White House, you’ve got another thing coming. I’m going to tell you as we sit here today, there is an 80% chance that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States, if you look at the way things are falling out right now. They’re trying to take out Rudy Giuliani.
Whatever it is, they’re doing everything they can to take Rudy out.
But I’m telling you, I know the Clinton machine.”
Hubby # 1 disappeared rather quickly.
Which leads me to surmise that the MSM is holding him in reserve.
So, you think Rudy would help the GOP get away from the “Party of Jesus” folks?
Hubby #2 ain’t a happy camper, from what I’ve read.
if it weren’t for Steve Forbes, I’d be running from rudy as fast as i can. with forbes, i am open minded about it, but i still think the best man for now is mccain. But i have not ruled rudy out.
I think he's talking about us, Jim!
Are you aware that McCain pushed through the terrorist protection bill, giving terrorists US Constitutional protection and even prohibiting “degrading” treatment of the terrorists — better a US city be nuked, than a terrorist embarrassed. Are you sure you really want McCain as president?
As if nominating someone who is ideologically on some very big issues is threatening her.
Why give Reagan Democrats a reason to vote Republican if the guy nominated is Democrat-Lite?
No kidding. Guess the GOP under Rudy will become a party of anything goes, cross-dressing, baby killing, gay bar cruising, unarmed atheist winners of elections and all around great guys to hang out with. Good luck with all that.
That’s an amazing piece of detective work.
You could have just said "Democrats!" ;^)
I can believe there are people who want this very much. I cannot believe there are FReepers (longtime FReepers, no less) who want it even more. But the evidence mounts.
