Giuliani's Restraint

As a long times resident of NYC I have a top ten list on why Rudy is the best qualified candinate for '08

1. Showed true empathy at my uncles funeral. (maybe that makes me biased)

2. Was, without question, a pillar of strength and displayed tremedous leadership during the attacks.

3. Reduced crime and made NYC a safer city (gained national respect)

4. I Walked out of Penn Station in 1990, and saw MANY neon pornographic advertisements, today, virtually none.

5. Took down the Mafia as US Attorney General. Utilized the "RICO" laws

6. Fiscal discipline. Lowered taxes and turned a budget deficit into a profit.

7. Education CHOICE!...believes parents know more about what their childs education needs, not the governement.

8. Not just putting police in high crime areas, but kept them there to properly secure those dangerous segmants of NYC.

9. Gun Control. A true libertarian. He realizes that gun laws should be indivitive of a particular region that has a crime problem. Let SMALL government decide which areas needs that philsophy, and which need very lettle supervision. Believes the NRA is exteremely responsible.

10. A NEW YORK YANKEE FAN (just kidding). Returned a 10 million dollar check to a Saudi prince who suggested 9'11 was based on a failed US policy.

Rudy managed a crisis during 9'11. Not everthing was done perfectly, but during a crisis, he did his job better than anyone else put in his shoes!
