Always remember the old saying - the perfect is the enemy of the good. Rudy has also said that he would nominate judges similar to John Roberts and Sam Alito which would be fine with me! Other Republican POTUS have nominated jugdes that turned out to be pretty liberal in the end!

As mayor of one of the most liberal cities in America, Rudy had to govern as such. My whole point in responding to this thread was to say that I think Huckabee would be even worse because he is much more of a liberal than he appears to be. At least Rudy does not appear to be someone he is not. His drop in the polls has been correlated with the rise of Huckabee and that is what has me worried. Huckabee raised taxes in Arkansas and is willing to take away some of your rights as an American as well - even in the area of nutrition and how much you are allowed to weigh. IMHO, if we lose the WOT, we will lose the freedom that all of us cherish and all of those other issues become meaningless.

I'm afraid that we will just have to agree to disagree and pray that God will continue to bless America through this difficult time in our history.

Who is talking perfection? Rudy doesn't even support 1/2 of the Republican platform!

I trust the record over the words. He's been all over the board on way too many issues.

Rudy seized property without due process and frisked people in the streets. Both Huckabee and Giuliani are equally dangerous in terms of freedom.

IMHO, if we elect Giuliani we will lose the freedom that we all cherish no matter what happens in the WOT.

"Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every
single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion
about what you do and how you do it."

-- Rudy Giuliani, New York Times, March 17, 1994

I suppose so.
