So well said! : )
It troubles me to hear the argument, "Rudy may be a liberal, but he'll keep us safe from terrorists!" To what end? If he joins with fellow social liberals Reid and Pelosi to advance a social liberal agenda he will have saved America's families from the terrorists' knives only to sacrifice them on the altar of home-grown liberalism.
With Reid and Pelosi in charge of Congress, it would be arguably easier for a Republican president to foist a social liberal agenda on us than it would be for a Democrat president. With Giuliani ramrodding the liberal Democrats' social liberal legislation through, Republican opposition in Congress could be expected to be fractured and dispirited.
A Giuliani-Clinton (or Giuliani-Obama) race would be a lose-lose proposition for America's traditional families.
