Well, there's certainly a lot of stuff in the Federal Government that's already broken and desperately needs shaking up.
Someone who's not afraid to break what's already broken seems like a bit of an asset, no?

Im pro-choice. Im pro-gay rights, Giuliani said. He was then asked whether he supports a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortions. No, I have not supported that, and I dont see my position on that changing, he responded.

RUDY GIULIANI (R), FORMER MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY: I'm pro- choice. I'm pro-gay rights.KING: Giuliani supports a woman's right to an abortion, and back in 1999, he opposed a federal ban on late-term abortions.
GIULIANI: No, I have not supported that, and I don't see my position on that changing.
KING: Immigration could be another presidential landmine. Back in 1996, Mayor Giuliani went to federal court to challenge new federal laws requiring the city to inform the federal government about illegal immigrants.
JEFFREY: He took the side of illegal immigrants in New York City against the Republican Congress.
KING: Giuliani opposes same-sex marriage but as mayor, he supported civil unions and extending health and other benefits to gay couples. He also supported the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures opposed by the National Rifle Association.
GIULIANI: I'm in favor of gun control. I'm pro-choice.
Republican Big-Wigs Support Pro-Abortion Event in NY
Pro-abortion Governor George Pataki and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who also supports unrestricted abortion, are co-chairs of the 2000 Choice Award Presentation to be held on May 30 at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City.

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
Rudy Giuliani
We don't have to accept liberal Rudy. There are other options. This fellow may be the best one:
"How can I help?"
Get informed: Duncan Hunter on the Issues
Sign up: Freepmail me to join the Duncan Hunter Pinglist
Or Freepmail seanmerc to join the Veterans for Hunter Pinglist
Put your money where your values are: Contribute to Duncan Hunter's Presidential Campaign
Help spread the word: Purchase "Hunter for President" items. Proceeds go to the Hunter campaign.
Or Hillary.
Actually READING what's at the link really helps avoid making a fool of yourself.
Why don't you CLICK on the link I gave in my post 35?
It's an FR THREAD, linking to a REAL POLL.
Is Hillary paying you by the post, or are you on a monthly salary?
A CNN poll. Lefties for leftists.
Lemme guess. Hillary's paying FO by the hour.
This has to be one of the silliest arguments I've ever seen posted here, when you consider that there have been a number of attempts over the years to have the Federal government get rid of any number of Marxist -- and unconstitutional -- programs (including its television and radio interests), but New York's congressional delegation is consistently one of the most vocal supporters of these things.
Rudy groupies figure he'll get the illegal alien "vote early and often" vote.

Tell his Rudytudiness that if I wanted a liberal President I'd vote for a Dim.
Thanks for the spam. It's so refreshing, new, and enlightening. It also reflect so well on your ability to generate a new thought.
So was Hitler with the SS and Gestapo. But I don't want to live in a Rudy run Police State, thank you very much.
And don't give me the 'you'd rather have Hillary' BS, as that dog won't hunt. The 'our dictator is more benevolent than your dictator' is plain absurd.
The fact is that Rudy is a power hungry control freak.
I'll admit that Rudy is a fiscal conservative....but his conservatism stops there.
He is a social democrat.....regarding Guns, Abortion, Borders and Immigration....sorry but he is about 5 percent better than Hillary....not enough to get my vote.
God have mercy upon this country if either Rudy or Hillary make it to the whitehouse.
I WILL VOTE FOR DUNCAN OR FRED and maybe even Newt....but I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR RUDY....NEVER!!!!!!!!!
And unrefuted.
That's part of his mythology.

Seven years after Mayor Giuliani led New York out of its last fiscal crisis, the city's budget has now come almost full circle.
Giuliani took office declaring that city government was too big and taxes were too high. His first two budgets cut the headcount of city employees and reduced spending, setting the stage for both tax cuts and a series of surpluses.
But that fiscal discipline had begun to unravel by the middle of the mayor's first term. Over the past four years, the city's spending on operations has risen so fast that it has now caught up with and surpassed the revenue bulge accumulated during the 1996-2000 economic boom.
* The latest adopted budget, which Giuliani has submitted to the state Financial Control Board (FCB) for certification this week, will raise the city's employee headcount to a new high and increase city spending at nearly twice the inflation rate.
Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.
