No, I'm obviously no Republican [You seem to have the two confused]. Since Rudy hasn't enunciated what he'll do if made POTUS, let's look at the themes of his Mayoralty:

PERSONALITY: Rudy routinely took credit for his subordinates' ideas. If they got any ink/credit, they were gone. The policing theory was Bratton's. When the media mentioned it, Rudy forced him out. Rudy micromanages. He likes weak subordinates. The name Bernie Kerik ring a bell? On the other hand, if something went south, Rudy never took the blame.

PHILOSOPHY: Rudy's a Statist. One of his major wars was CENTRALIZING the educational system in the Bd/Ed, and putting his 'yes men' in . Rudy's that great combination of egocentric [bordering on megalomaniac and micro manager. His photo's in the dictionary next to the definition of anal compulsive. you can look it up.

Rudy's heavily anti-Second Amendment. There wasn't a gun control measure he didn't support in NYC [if he didn't start it.

Rudy's VERY pro-abortion. Never met one he didn't support, if not like. Never used his bully pulpit to argue against it.

Gay Rights: See above. I believe [but I'm not positive] that city benefits for gay couples came into force on his watch.

Immigration: Rudy's the one who ordered NY agencies NOT to cooperate with the Feds on illegals.

Taxes: Rudy did, initially, and to his credit, seek to lower taxes and regulation of business. But by the end of his mayoralty, it was going back up.And he wasn't pushing it anymore.

So tell me, what,in the area of political philosophy, stands out as an example of "conservatism? Guns? Abortion? Immigration? Gay Rights? Taxes? You're the one who's obviously no Conservative.
