it'd be like nominating Ted Kennedy. Do we really want that?

It's nothing like nominating Ted Kennedy and everytime you say it, it diminishes your opinion. I'm not saying that to be mean. Again, the war on terror is the biggest issue for me. He's already stated his personal beliefs will not interfere with the law. He's a Constitutionalist. He said he would appoint judges like Alito and Roberts...Do ya think Kennedy would appoint judges like Alito and Roberts? He's not going to take away your guns..he's already said he believes those are State issues. So, he is NOTHING like Ted Kennedy. And yes, I fully intend on voting for him.

You parsed his words to create a statement he didn't make. He said:

I like Giuliani's stance on foreign affairs and the war against terrorism, but otherwise, it'd be like nominating Ted Kennedy. Do we really want that?

I think it's a valid observation that on most social issues Giuliani is significantly to the left of most Freepers, and that's what 2ndDivisionVet said. He acknowledged some conservative credentials. As to your statement about him believing gun rights are a state issue, he definitely should have made that point at CPAC, and according to reports I've read, he stayed far away from Gays, Guns and God. I'm still open to Rudy, but would need assurance beyond what I've seen that he won't be part of a gun grab.
