Next up on the chopping block...I mean Yamlight, is Rudy Giuliani. Rudy's a Republican now, but he used to be a Democrat back before 1980. Because of his Democratic background he tends to be more moderate than most Republicans. He was Mayor of New York from 1994-2001 which included 9-11. Because of this fact, he was Time Magazine's Man of the year in 2001. However, now he is running for the candidacy of the Republican Party.
Many people would consider Rudy a moderate in a Republican's suit. He is pro-choice, even though he has stated that he hates abortions. He is in favor of Education Vouchers, saying that he would revive and reform the public school system, as opposed to destroy it. He believes in the concept of evolution, yet at the same time likes the idea of allowing prayer in school. He only supports the death penalty in specific murder cases, such as the terrorists who were responsible for 9/11. He is usually a big hit with the Log Cabin Republicans as well.
Rudy supports the war on drugs, as well as gun control in highly populated areas. He thinks gun control laws should be different in the Midwest. Unlike most Republicans he doesn't support the idea of a nation wide sales tax, and if he becomes a Presidential Nominee he would be the first one since '88 to not sign a pledge to not raise taxes.
Though old Rudy and I don’t exactly see eye to eye on everything, we do on many things. He also has a lot of experience being a leader in critical situations. Though some call him out on his lack of commitment to his original political party, not to mention his 2 divorces, I consider it one of his strengths. It takes a strong man to admit he has changed his mind and is willing to jump the fence. If I were to vote as a Republican in the primaries today, I’d vote for Giuliani.
