What if you throw in their anit-gun and pro illegal immigrant stance? Rudy will have to make it clear that he's not a gun-grabber, and I think he will. I've not seen anything yet to suggest he's got an extreme anti-gun stand.
The immigrant thing . . . unfortunately, doesn't seem to be a problem for the vast majority of our elected officials. GW being a prime example.
While he was the “Republican Mayor” of New York City he appointed more than 60 men and women to the Civil, Criminal, and Family Court benchs. In all of those judicial appointment not one of them was a Republican.
All of his judical appointments were either registered Liberals or registered Democrats. As the “Republican Mayor” he had appointment power over more than 70 full commissioners in more than 50 City agencies, yet at no time during his administration did REPUBLICANS account for more than 10% of those appointments.
He even appointed Chuck Schumers wife as the City’s Department of Transportation Commissioner.
