No. Not a Messiah. And far from perfect.
But almost every Republican and other mainstream citizens who lived in NYC, pre and during Giuliani, know that the Liberal label is crap and that he is uniquely a political leader who makes a positive difference and impresses with real achievements and not just pandering words to the gullible.
The next President will deal with Earth shaking issues and the best we can hope for is that those challenges are met by a proven leader who faced the impossible, rose to the task and was more triumphant that anyone could have expected. Notwithstanding 9/11.
Rudy is a socially liberal nominally fiscal conservative with a law and order streak that can trod on the second amendment. If that's your cup of tea, support Rudy.
You are absolutely correct. Other than the fact that Rudy got awards from NARAL, supported Clinton gun-grabbing legislation, is in favor of amnesty and sanctuary for illegals, is not only pro-gay but marches in their parades, is pro-CFR, AND is a new convert to the church of global warming, I can't imagine WHY anyone could think he's a liberal.
