“Social conservatism is all the rage and the heck with national security and fiscal restraint.”
Fiscal restraint? Rudy?

“But what Forbes failed to point out is that in Rudy’s second term, when the economy was booming, he abandoned fiscal restraint and became a big-spending liberal. City budget expenditures jumped 25 percent – twice the inflation rate – and Giuliani left his successor a projected operating deficit of $4.5 billion and New York’s citizens with the highest tax burden in any major municipality in America.”
So the fiscal conservatism spin is just myth - all you have left is “national security”. Well, rudy is soft on illegals, that’s the truth. So we have to narrow “national security” down to the WOT.
And rudy’s actual credentials on that are...?????
Talk about “single issue” voters. Ignore everything else, because rudy has talked tough on the WOT!!!! Oh boy!
That's been refuted so many times that I just hate posting this spam again, but since you insist on lying about Rudy's record, I shall.
The city also added approximately 430,000 new jobs during Giuliani’s mayoralty the most dramatic period of job growth in New York’s history. At the same time, Giuliani restored fiscal discipline to the city’s budget, transforming the $2.3 billion annual deficit he inherited in 1993 into the $1 billion surplus he hands over to incoming mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Rudy Giuliani: An American Hero By John Perazzo FrontPageMagazine.com | January 3, 2002 http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=1380 From January 27, 2000 Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani today outlined his Financial Plan for Fiscal Years (FY) 2000-2004. The Plan reflects the Administration's continued fiscal priorities of cutting taxes to stimulate continued record job growth and economic development; increasing spending in targeted areas, reducing City funded spending year-to-year by 1%, while maintaining overall City spending to less than the rate of inflation; and reducing the out-year gaps. The Plan reflects the Administration's success in reducing taxes by $2.3 billion since 1994 -- more than any administration in the history of the City. Combined with the more than $2 billion in proposed tax cuts, this Plan will bring the total value of the Mayor's tax reduction program to $4.5 billion annually by 2004. The Plan projects a surplus for FY2000 of $2.2 billion, the largest surplus in the City's history. This is the fourth year in a row that the New York City four-year Financial Plan contains a surplus of more than $1 billion. http://www.nyc.gov/html/om/html/2000a/pr008-00.html
