If he stops talking about 9/11 and his crime reduction in NYC he’ll have to start talking policy. Since I have yet to see him make a definitive statement on anything that he would do as President that would be a problem.

You haven’t been listening. He has spoken out forcefully in support of the Iraq war and on issues like Iran’s taking of hostages. No one should doubt his staunch opposition to Islamofascism.

Domestically, Rudy cut NYC taxes and levies over and over, saving billions for taxpayers. He cut NYC’s top income-tax rate by 20.6%. Local city taxes on a family of four dropped 23.7%. He cut the commercial-rent tax. He cut sales taxes, including taxes on clothing. He cut the marriage penalty tax. He cut taxes on commercial rents and on small businesses and self-employed New Yorkers. He privatized municipal assets, selling city-owned radio and television stations and divested the City from the New York Coliseum adding $345 million to erase the City’s red ink. He cut NYC’s hotel tax from 6% to 5%. Tourism increased 50% in the city per year during Rudy’s tenure. Personal income increased 50%. Unemployment in the city went form 10.3% to 5.1%.
