His positions are the same as Hillary's EXCEPT for:
-Death tax (Guiliani would eliminate; Hillary would reinstate)
-Income tax (Guiliani would keep Bush's tax cuts; Hillary would scale back)
-Capital gains tax (Guiliani would keep at 15%; Hillary would raise)
-Judges (Guiliani would appoint strict constructionists; Hillary would appoint Lawrence Tribe or worse)
-Iraq (Guilani would win; Hillary would surrender)
-Economic regulation (Guiliani would regulate as a last resort; Hillary would regulate for personal amusement)
-Defense/terrorism (Guiliani would increase the defense budget; Hillary would slash it)
-Iran (Guiliani would sanction; Hillary would make nice and acquiesce to the U.N.)
I'm a Fred supporter. And I started off as an anti-Guiliani guy. But the more I hear people say stupid things like "there's no difference between Hillary and Rudy on the issues," frankly, the more inclined I am to like him. In fact after Fred (and Hunter, who is going nowhere), I think Rudy is now my second choice.
Hey if you don't like Rudy, I understand. But don't say things that are just flat out wrong about him. Argue against him based on his own deficiencies - which admittedly are numerous.

Hey Hank,
I’ll give Rudy another look because your post was both substantive and kind.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Your risking getting FR Black Listed for making sense. Well stated. Don’t forget when he was running against Harpy clinton he was labeled a Nazi/Hitler.
When the conservative purists kick out all the unpure, they will have a Movement of 1.
