Re: a man with “leadership experience” and the wrong principles

What are the “wrong principles” exactly?

His stance on guns? There is a 2nd Amendment in place and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

Giulani showed his leadership not just one or two days, but for months after the worst attack ever on US soil. He refused a $10,000,000 check because the giver said US policy was part of the reason we were attacked. How many people in Washington would have done the same?

In my mind, zero.

Anti-gun, pro-choice, pro-gay. That's Rudy.

That was a solid thing to do but not the breath taking action that you seem to think is was.

For any New York Mayor at that time to accept the money would have been breathtaking.

I don’t think that Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson or John McCain or Romney would have accepted it.

I think that even very few democrat mayors would have taken it.

If it is in place, then why does your boy deliberately choose to ignore it? I'm sure you'd agree that Rudy is not too dumb to not understand the plain English it's written in.

Unless you have a sufficiently liberal congress pass a bill restricting the 2nd amendment in a way like requiring microstamping of bullet casings, expanding the assault weapons ban to include any firearm not specifically used for hunting or sport or some similar foolishness. If you have a POTUS in office who has a past history of restricting gun ownership and sueing gun manufacturers across state lines eager to “comprimise” in order to get cooperation for his initiatives then the 2nd amendment could change very significantly.
This is exactly the concern most thinking conservatives have with Guilani.
