Rudy is a moderate on the social issue, and a real fiscal republican. Many many republican voters, myself included, are moderate on the social issue.

Giuliani is a LIBERAL on social issues, and you can put lipstick on that pig, but it's still a pig.

As for being a 'fiscal Republican', Giuliani's record as Mayor of NYC is one of a borrow and spend LIBERAL, i.e., he turned a 3 billion dollar surplus into a 4.5 billion dollar DEFICIT by the time he left office, and it isn't all due to 9/11, because in July 2001, New York State Comptroller H. Carl McCall stated that an opportunity to put NYC on a sound fiscal footing had been 'squandered' by Giuliani. While running for mayor, Giuliani promised to cut the city payroll, in reality he hired an additional 25,000 MORE city workers (mostly patronage payoffs), and when Giuliani turned over the city to Mayor Bloomberg, the number of city employees was the highest in history.

Uh uh, there is no WAY that Giuliani is a 'fiscal Republican', and any person praising Margaret Sanger is NO 'moderate'. Giuliani remains the sole Republican recipient of political contributions from NARAL, and he himself contributed to Planned Parenthood numerous times, and if you want to talk about 'principles', explain what kind of principles are demonstrated when Giuliani, after decades of supporting the 'right' of women to murder their unborn children, promoting the idea of federal funding for the purpose if necessary, suddenly does an about face and says that he 'agrees' with the Supreme Court ruling banning partial birth abortion, followed up by saying it would be 'OK' if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade?

Oh sure, that demonstrates a 'principle':

The 'principle' of saying whatever is politically expedient to try and save himself and his rapidly derailing campaign.

I believe that if you'll stop drinking that purple RudyAid from the big vat for just a few moments to think about the obvious contradictions that Giuliani represents, that you might just see the light.

I consider myself to be a person of principle, and i am very "moderate" [aka known as "liberal"] on the social issue.

There. Fixed it. Funny thing, social liberalism/fiscal conservatism always morphs into fiscal liberalism too, since all those social problems demand money after a while. Stuff like methadone clinics, more cops due to feral humans, more welfare for unwed mothers, more tax money to take care of illegals' kids, medical bills, accidents with no car insurance, etcetcetc.
