You captured exactly why I want Rudy. He wouldn’t schmooze Congress. And he’s not afraid of the media. He laughs at them!
I tried the other day to think if there is any prominent politician left who would tackle gov’t spending. Rudy is the only one who came to mind. I think it’s because he doesn’t care what the media (or anyone else) thinks of him. And he certainly isn’t afraid of the bureaucrats.
It’s a pipedream. But I sure wish he was in the running.

“Rudy for President” is the battle cry of the RINO. You are SOOOOO at the wrong site for pushing Rudy Giuliani as the GOP nominee in 2012.
Rudy Giuliani as the GOP nominee would be the only imaginable scenario in which I would find myself forced to vote for, and pavement walk for, Barack Obama. Hell, I’d take a week’s vacation to volunteer for Obama in a swing state.
As the non-GOP nominee, there are many things I like about Rudy. But the day he becomes our Presidential nominee is the day the GOP leaves me. This is a party of issues, not a cult of personality. I would rather lose an election to save the Conservative movement than sacrifice the movement to win one election.
If I have to choose between two liberals, I’ll just pick the one who’ll give me “free” stuff. Rudy is a fun character, and a brass knuckles guy who could teach the image-conscious GOP some lessons about handling the press. But he is not Presidential material, and would be the death knell of the Conservative movement as we know it.
