The assertion was made that in terms of fighting the war on terror, Rudy and Hillary were completely the same, and that Rudy somehow made NY a haven for terrorists. I'd call that pretty extreme. It was also claimed that I was either "ignorant" or a "liar" to reject such claims. I'd say that was fairly extreme.
I would vote for Rudy for mayor of my city in a second but what he did as Mayor of New York in no way qualifies him as having done anything good in the war on terror. He handled a situation well.
On the flip side his support of making NY a safe haven for illegals does terrible things for the war on terror. While I don't know I agree with the assertion he has been as bad as Hillary on balance he has not been a help. If he enacted the same policies nation wide that he did in NY it would be far easier for terrorist to enter and hide in the United States. This is not an extreme opinion just one you disagree with.
When you call someone who disagrees with you an extremest you're playing the Liberal game.
I will disclose there is no way I would vote for Rudy because of his position on Abortion and the second Amendment (which he seems to think is about hunting).
