You beat me to it. The number one difference between Rudy and Hillary is honesty. He’s got it and she doesn’t, plain and simple. Although I think Jim’s list of “positions” is oversimplified, and the two aren’t really anywhere near identical, even if they WERE identical on their stated positions on all issues, I’d take the honest one over the dishonest one in a second. Dispatching the unspeakably evil Clinton machine needs to be a high priority.
Having friends like Harding and Kerick does not make you honest. Giving a glorified stump speech in front of some burning buildings, and sending cops after squeegee men does not make one tough.
Giuliani is a second rate greaseball barrister with a third rate intellect. I'll pass, even if he gets the nomination.
Rudy drove libs crazy when he was mayor. Welfare was cut, taxes were cut, unions lost power, property values skyrocketed, crime was cut- These things didn’t happen because Rudy is one of them, but because he is one of us and he is far and away our best chance of winning.
Rudy is not honest though. This is a guy who said he’ll pay for his daughter to have an abortion, and then later on (a few months ago) saying that he “hates abortion” and wouldn’t pay for it. He spoke at NARAL Pro-Choice, for crying out loud. How can you trust a man who said he “hates abortion” when he spoke to the #1 pro-abortion group in the nation? Though not on the scale of Clinton, Rudy is not honest and trustworthy.
You better read Rudy’s testimony to the grand jury about Bernie Kerik’s mob connections and then get back with us about Rudy’s “Honesty”.
“even if they WERE identical on their stated positions on all issues, I’d take the honest one over the dishonest one in a second.”
That’s crazy talk... You’d take someone who was evil with conviction over someone who would govern by polling?
