Ok, for starters, my support for Rudy goes well beyond WOT concerns. Rudy is a grade A executive. Fiscally, he worked as much magic with NYC as he did with cleaning up the streets. The guy is simply great CEO material, and I believe that when he becomes president, he's going to do nothing but good things for America. That's why I'm helping to put him into office.
Personally, I think he has shown signs of seriously impaired judgement at times, myself - as well as leaning towards not allowing the populace to defend itself.
He worked to revoke gun permits against long-time permit holders, even thought there was no indication they were involved in any wrongdoing.
His "broken glass" approach had a gaping hole in it - namely, his overly-vigorous support of NYC's sanctuary city policy.
He fought it through the federal courts, lost, but decided to ignore the ruling. Meanwhile, the sanctuary city policy took a vital crime and terror control tool away from law enforcement - how many 9-11 perps were visa overstays? That to me shows a blind side big enough to drive a truck through.
And finally, his pushing Bernie Kerik to be head of DHS without vetting him concerns me the most. He wanted Kerik for the most important anti-terror job in the country - and Kerik was a business associate. Yet Rudy had no idea of Kerik's significant ethical problems. I'd think if Rudy was such a hotshot executive, he would have done more homework in Kerik long ago. Instead, it all reeks of cronyism - and the best executives avoid such.
