What do you think of Rudy?

[DianaB]

I received some campaign information from Rudy Giuliani, who is running for president. What are your opinions about him and his running for president?

[Tink]

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is the strongest Republican in the race to be president, according to polls. But most insiders dismiss these numbers, pointing out that Giuliani's views on abortion, gays and guns do not fit in with a conservative electorate.

He will not be getting my vote, if he gets that far, which I seriously doubt. I'm an independent, so I try to look beyond party affiliation. This said, it appears that his only tie to the Republican party are his ties to big business.

I thought he handled the World Trade Center attack with great form. I don't know much else about him. We are registered as Republicans, but I vote for the best person, not by party. It never enters my mind to vote by party. Still have a while to gather info on the candidates, so I'll just wait and see.

I haven't watched enough of him on T.V. or listened to him to make a fair judgement. I just posted on here to raise my post count. LOL, just kidding!!!

Seriously though, as Janet says, there's plenty of time left to hear what all these folks have to say then try to make a good decision in hopes for the best outcome.

Rudy Guiliani was mayor for two terms in NYC. I lived there in the begining of his two terms. He was an excellent mayor and brought down the crime drastically and cleaned up Times square, which was full of porno shops etc. He lowered taxes , etc. I was out of NYC at the time of the WT attacks but he led the city in that terrible time. Rudy Guiliani is a strong leader and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He was a proscuetor for the DA for many years. At the time he took over the mayoral position NYC was at its lowest, he was voted in for the two terms. So that proved that people did approve of him. People will always have negetive things to say, but he is very strong over the Republican party here in the Northeast.He proved himself in NYC, thats all I can say.
