Rudy is only on the stage because of 911. If 911 had not happened no one would care about him, period.
Please get over it and look beyond 911.
The next attack wont be anouther 911, it may be worse but more sutle, like the destruction of an oil supplier in the middle east, that would hurt us more than a direct attack on our infrastructure.
I AM looking beyond 911.
I am looking at the future of ANY conservative party.
Does ANY conservative party continue to move to the left and remain conservative?
You are correct when you say that Rudy is only on the stage becasue of 911. That's why he is percieved as a hawk, even though he is a liberal with an 'R' in front of his name.
