> I’m curious how anyone can be for national defense and for sanctuary for illegals at the same time? Rudy is not tough on illegal immigration so how is he supposed to keep his promise of safety for this country?

I presume you are referring to Giuliani not prosecuting illegal aliens for reporting crime in NYC. As a mayor he had no authority to prosecute illegal aliens. Since the federal government was not going to handle the problem he did the best he could under the circumstances. I also believe that as a candidate he came out against the latest immigration bill.

But let’s assume that Giuliani will be no better on illegal immigration than George Bush. He would still be significantly stronger on Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and War on Terror than Clinton; making him significantly stronger on national security.

> So he may be better on Taxation than Hillary, but since he’s pro abortion, anti-second ammendment and pro-illegal invasion, that means he’s one notch better than hillary? There is no indication he would appoint Justices that we would consider conservative.

Giuliani repeatedly stated that he would appoint judges like Alito. Given that he has not changed his stances on any issues to suit the prevailing opinion, there is every reason to believe that this would be the case.

According to the matrix, Giuliani is 3 notches better than Clinton (national security, Supreme Court, taxes). How many notches are required for a vote?

Guiliani has said he would appoint constructionist judges. That's all he has said. He has also said his policies are the same as Hillary - is that acceptable to you?

Rudy has changed several things during this campaign. He has said he would build a fence, then said a "virtual fence". Which is it?

You are obviously for Rudy, and I'm not. No amount of changing his mind or pandering will change how I feel about him. He's hillary with better legs.

What evidence do you have that Giuliani would be better than Clinton on the war and national security? His only strength in this area is that he can get in front of the cameras and run his mouth about how damned tough he’d be as president. He has no foreign policy experience and has never served in the military. He doesn’t have an extensive education in foreign affairs and I don’t even know if he’s even studied the issues beyond the campaign sound bite level. Who are his foreign policy and military advisors, and who would he appoint as Sec. of Defense and Sec. of State, for instance? Heck, I don’t even think he’s traveled much outside the U.S. for that matter, even as an ordinary tourist.
