The Conservative Case Against Rudy Giuliani In 2008

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Up to now, I've been looking at Rudy Giuliani as a contender for the 08 presidency, as has a lot of other people. They, like me, couldn't stomach McCain, and few others have the national recognition of Guiliani. But John Hawkins says, not so fast, and has written a primer on why conservatives shouldn't consider Rudy.

Rudy Giuliani, a contender for the Presidency in 2008, is receiving an inordinate amount of positive attention. That's quite understandable since Rudy is charismatic, did a great job on the campaign trail for President Bush in 2004, and his phenomenal performance after 9/11 was much appreciated.
