2. "Law and Order" is not a conservative issue. You and I as citizens preserve law and order, not some greasy politician and some donut munchers from Staten Island and Orange County.
3. Foreign Policy? Aside from schmoozing with the Likudniks, Rudy has about as much foreign policy knowledge as Silvestre Reyes.
Rudy doesn't belong in the Republican party. He is more of a Gaullist than an AMERICAN constitutionalist. No thanks Coogine! ;-)
"Liberty over Security, Always and Forever."
During Rudy's terms as mayor, the welfare rolls were massively reduced and the double dippers found and charged and put on trial and convicted.
Rudy kept a hard line on raises to all municipal employees and CUT city jobs, which is unheard of in liberal NY to balance a city budget that was structurally unsound thanks to Dinkins/Koch and a litany of Rats that ran NYC into the ground. The cops did get a raise, but you know what, they did an excellent job and deserved a raise.

Please, Republicans are harder on crime and criminals than bleeding heart libs. Republicans believe more in detterrance than recidivisim for criminals. Believe in harsh sentences for criminal behavior and believe in the death penalty. Most liberals do not. Rudy does.

Rudy gets the global war against terror and is best suited to continue the fight. Not a single politician was closer to he burning WTC site than Rudy. Beforehand, he knew that terrorists like Arafat should be International pariahs. And he was the mayor of the city that is the home of the (evil) U.N. and a city that has more ethnic groups than any other.
Rudy is a Republican. Not a perfect one, but I challenge you to name one that is.
