LOL. That's why I said I wasn't sure if it was accurate. Heck, I might even vote for him too. I don't know enough yet. But on H&C last night, he came across as being more conservative than his previous stances would indicate. What he's done in the past is more important to me than what he says he will do in the future, simply because anyone can say anything. That's the easy part.

Don't be fooled. Rudy was engaging in double-talk. Nothing more. Rudy maybe a conservative by NYCity standards. In the real world, Rudy is still a liberal.

The problem is that Rudy hedged, so it was hard to tell just where he stood.

Sure he said, "Marriage should be between a man and a woman" but he was also for recognizing domestic partners. His stand on gun control troubled me. As for illegals, he tried some double talk but essentially admitted he is against the fence and for amnesty - which means he will be weak and ineffective on WOT.

Then there are other things in his past that voters will remember:
*he actually recommended Kerik for top national security position
*he had a chance during the last election to undermine Hillary, quite possibly defeat her, yet he avoided running against her - appearing scared of her.
*his support of illegal aliens in NYC
