If you arent going to offer economic conservatives anything, then what makes you think economic conservatives and indepedents who have leaned Republican in the past will vote Republican this time. The social issues appeal only to a part of the base (unless you have the gays screwing themselves over by pushing gay marriage like they did a few years ago. If these are your issues, not much to motivate your average American to vote Republican, especially in an anti Republican climate.
Maybe you could examine Fred's NTU ratings. His ACU ratings. And his long history of calling for federalism (i.e., smaller federal government) and fiscal restraint.
Rudy Giuliani is not the only Republican candidate who will make good economic policy as President. Fred Thompson's record in the Senate is a pretty good one. He receive good ratings from the National Taxpayers Union (7th best Senator one year), Citizens Against Government Waste, etc. Some of the other Republican candidates have good records on that issue as well. Giuliani is not the only "fiscal conservative" in the bunch. Got that?!
Why is it that the one-issue "economic conservatives" insist that people who are conservative on social, economic, constitutional, national security, and sovereignty issues have to give up their conservatism on all other issues except for the "economic conservative's" pet issue. Same goes for the "national security conservatives". They do the same thing. I'm not backing down on any of the issues. Giuliani is bad on nearly every issue. And where most people think he's good, its usually based upon urban myths and legends.
