So you do think there is just one kind of conservative? Well, I'm pleased the Republican leadership knows better and fully understands there are those who think fiscal conservatives and law and order conservatives are more important to the country's survival than whether or not we permit gay unions.
It's not a matter of what "kind" of conservative a candidate is. Rudy Giuliani has a credible conservative background on no more than 20%-25% of the issues that define a person's political philosophy.
He threw his "law & order" reputation out the window when he proudly and steadfastly violated Federal immigration law during his administration, and when he took it upon himself to decide that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was nothing more than a minor invconvenience for him in his attempt to force his anti-gun idiocy on this country.
Rudy Giuliani is no more conservative than Arnold Schwarzenegger is . . . and he's no more "law & order" than any jack@ss dictator would be under similar circumstances.
