You think you saw Dems make gains in 06? You ain't seen nothing yet when you trot Rudy out as standard bearer.
Another Freeper post of Rudy bashing.
Rudy is liberal on many social issues. I am a libertarian and don't have a problem with that, even though I don't agree with him on some things. I don't like the positions that he took on gun control, but consider that the New York Law has a strict law that he was sworn to uphold. As a candidate for President, he would need to address his position on Federal Law. I'd like to see how he comes out on that issue.
On the issues that rate high for a President, Rudy is conservative: National Security and Defense; Homeland Security; Law and Order; fiscal responsibility; and leadership (he wrote a book by that name=he has it).
On the issues that rate high for a human being, Rudy Giuliani is lacking moral character. Just look at his personal life and the characters he chums with, like Bernie Kerik.
New York's law is not Constitutional, to begin with. You do not swear to uphold anything you don't believe in.
Rudy has done more than just "uphold" the unconstitutional crap, he has expanded it.
You can pick your issues that define "conservative", I'll pick mine!
He should run on the Liberaltarian party ticket.

"I don't like the positions that he took on gun control, but consider that the New York Law has a strict law that he was sworn to uphold."
Politicians from NYC, left or right, always seem a little too authoritarian for me. Of course there are lots of people who call themselves conservatives who love a strong authority figure over them.
