I’m not a Rudy fan either but I do believe he’d be ok on judicial appointments. He was a tough-on-crime prosecutor and as such is going to want strict-constructionist judges.

Really now why should I ‘’’’’’believe’’’’’???? Rudy does not live under conservatism why would he want that rule of law?

It took Bill Clinton, a Democrat, to get control of the federal deficit.

Huh?

Well, at least that’s what his face is saying today.

Rudy will not be President so the idea is merely fanciful speculation which, in all sincerity, I doubt. He will not appoint ‘soild conservatives’ because that’ll upset the NYC liberals too much.

Oh, yeah. That debt clock really was spinning backwards when the Master-Insink-abator was in office.

Sorry Mr. Lib but that's not true. Clinton was NEVER for a balanced budget. A new conservative congress elected in '94 forced a budget on Clinton in order to deal with the deficit. Clinton's last proposed budget called for $200 billion deficits. When the Republican plan actually worked, Clinton tried to take credit for the plan he fought tooth and nail against.

It took a conservative Congress to get control of the federal deficit...boy, couldn't we use that now

I don't trust for a minute that Rudy would appoint strict constructionist judges...Rudy either doesn't understand the US Constitution and the limited powers the federal government has...or he doesn't care

How else to explain the fact that, in 1993, he met with President Clinton to push for national gun registration? How else to explain that Rudy was a vocal supporter of the Brady Bill (which he claimed didn't go far enough)? How else to explain that Rudy supported the federal ban on certain semi-automatic firearms?

I think Mr. Giuliani will be the most effective advocate for the pro-life cause precisely because he is unreligious and a supporter of abortion rights.

That just may be the most ridiculous statement that I've ever read. What absolute horse manure.

I couldn’t support Rudy in good conscience. The man is the worst of the bunch, by far

MITT ROMNEY will be a much better conservative candidaate and will appoint conservative judges.

I would look to Giuliani’s strengths for who he might appoint.

For example, he is a big fan of policemen. Therefore, I wouldn’t look to any appointment to be drafting new Miranda rights soon. Most likely tough as nails on L&O issues.

Second, look to what he did to Times Square. This would possibly mean that he would fully support the Kelo decision for eminent domain. Guiliani like gentrification.

Third, relations with Mexico would pick up, as they hired him for advice on how to fix Mexico City. This could impact illegal immigration, trade, the drug war and gangs.

Sure. He had such a GOOD record in New York City.
