Where did I say you did? You reveal much here - HAAATE! is a way to avoid the inconvenient facts.
I have asked for months. Where is the proof? How many people did he rescue? He performed his mayoral duty, and he attended funerals. But where is the "super heroism" he keeps getting credit for?
Wait, you said he got the Presidential Freedom Award from Ronald Reagan.

Sounds exactly like what the Democrats used to say about Free Republic attacks on Bill and Hillary Clinton - two more pro-abortion, anti-2nd amendment, pro-gay marriage, pro-UN, pro-amnesty, liberal lawyers - just like Giuliani. I'm just being consistant when I attack the liberals and leftists that threaten our country and our freedom. At least you make it obvious where you stand on the whole conservative vs. liberal thing. Noted.
"Most of Clinton's policies are very similar to most of mine." - Rudy Giuliani
Why don't you ask Nancy Reagan. She gave him the Ronald Reagan Freedom Award.
It did take chutzpah to escort his MISTRESS to Mass that day while he left wife and children home.
Did you know that Rudy is NOT a social conservative? Did you know that he once wore a dress. Really he did. And, he lived with two gay guys for a while :-)
So does that mean that Gorby also is a hero? He got it too.
Yes, I see it. Zealots busy trashing GOP candidates Never mind that democrats are the enemy, some of these posters see no difference between Rudy and Hillary. Imagine that? Whoooosh, the WOT is no longer an issue.
Ronnie gave Gorby a medal too. Voting for him Peach? Or just pining?
I don't care who gave him an award, or that he was given an award. What did Giuliani actually do? Please, many of us would like to know.
So did Gorby.
Who have you convinced? LOL
From Human Events:
Rudy's Strong Pro-Abortion Stance
As these comments from a 1989 conversation with Phil Donahue show, Rudy Giuliani is staunchly in favor of abortion:
"I've said that I'll uphold a woman's right of choice, that I will fund abortion so that a poor woman is not deprived of a right that others can exercise, and that I would oppose going back to a day in which abortions were illegal.
I do that in spite of my own personal reservations. I have a daughter now; if a close relative or a daughter were pregnant, I would give my personal advice, my religious and moral views ...
Donahue: Which would be to continue the pregnancy.
Giuliani: Which would be that I would help her with taking care of the baby. But if the ultimate choice of the woman - my daughter or any other woman - would be that in this particular circumstance [if she had] to have an abortion, I'd support that. I'd give my daughter the money for it."
Worse yet, Giuliani even supports partial birth abortion:
"I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-gay rights,Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. "No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing," he responded." -- CNN.com, "Inside Politics" Dec 2, 1999
It's bad enough that Rudy is so adamantly pro-abortion, but consider what that could mean when it comes time to select Supreme Court Justices. Does the description of Giuliani that you've just read make you think he's going to select an originalist like Clarence Thomas, who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade -- or does it make you think he would prefer justices like Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy who'd leave Roe v. Wade in place?
Rudy's abortion stance is bad news for conservatives who are pro-life or who are concerned about getting originalist judges on the Supreme Court.
An Anti-Second Amendment Candidate
In the last couple of election cycles, 2nd Amendment issues have moved to the back burner mainly because even Democratic candidates have learned that being tagged with the "gun grabber" label is political poison.
Unfortunately, Rudy Giuliani is a proponent of gun control who supported the Brady Bill and the Assault Weapon Ban.
No, but I did hear that he has heard about Viet Nam. Most likely he heard about that from his co-liberal friend John Kerry.
Shame on RWR now? Is that your mindless point?
