The main arguments of the "Rutards":
1. "He will stop Hillary" - You don't win with a negative, folks.
2. "He is good on foreign policy." Really? I haven't seen any of Rudy's writings in Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, National Interest, etc. Most of his speeches on the subject are superficial, and sound like they were xeroxed from Commentary and the Weekly Standard. No vision, no REALISM.
3. "Remember 9/11!" - This is a fetish. 'Nuff said.
4. "He will grow more conservative in office, and will appoint strict constructionist to the bench." This is what they said about Pataki, Whitman, and John Rowland. We all know how THOSE folks turned out.
5. "He's a fiscal conservative." Really? New York was a union dominated, high tax hellhole when Rudy took office. It REMAINS a high tax hellhole, despite the modest tax cuts proposed by Giussolini.
6. "He's America's Mayor." As said by the Murdoch media empire. Ruling over a city where third world immigrants and their children are a MAJORITY of the population, and white Christians are a small minority, where Republicans are outnumbered 5-1 and where most of those who voted for him also voted for Schumer and Kerry. Anyone else remember the old New Yorker cartoon showing Manhattan as an island off the coast of America?
You forgot to use the word "greasy," refer to "Mayor Linguine," and diss the "sidecurl Mafia."

Good list.
