Show me numbers where he cut the size of government in NYC. I can't find any data on it and would like to see it.

I see differing reports on his stance on Affirmative Action. Yes, he eliminated it in city contract bidding, but also I see where he supported the NY Liberal Party's position on the issue. So which is it - does he wish to eliminate it entirely or just here and there?

I see nothing where Rudy proposes that we withdraw from the UN so I am not sure what you are basing that statement on.

The more I read about Rudy the less I see as being admirable. If he were mayor of Chicago instead of NYC I doubt any of us would be having this discussion. The only reason he is polling this well is because of his celebrity status - I'd wager that 85% of the people that select him in a poll have no idea about his stance on abortion, sodomites & gun control nor anything regarding his embarrassing personal life.

I don't do links and if you haven't seen it, then you haven't been reading Rudy threads on FR!

He did aways with set asides, that IS a fact! As you people keep saying, look at what he has DONE! And BTW, there really isn't all that much a mayor can do about affirmative action. But he and Herman Badillo got CCNY to do away with open enrollment and their affirmative action admittance program.

I don't believe he has said anything about getting the US out of the UN, thus far; however, he DID crack down on the UN, tried to get the immunity erased, so that members could be tried for crimes ( he did manage to get some headway there ), and never acceded to their demands.

Chicago, though a DEM city, was never in the mess that N.Y.C. was, nor was it attacked my terrorist; the plans to have planes hit the SEARS TOWER and/or the HANDCOCK BULIDING were squashed by OBL.

You are biased; no matter WHAT you read, you won't accept the facts.

The thing about Rudy is, he has been a NATIONAL figure for many decades. He IS a known commodity and most people know all about him; warts and all and they still LIKE him.
