wondering to what degree the relevant facts had been twisted. (More on Rudy in a moment) Could Hillary really be planning on issuing a $5,000 goverment-backed treasury security to every new baby born in the U.S.? More-over, does she really intend to print her picture on this bill? Regardless of the facts, hats off to the GOP for making Hillary, at least appear to be completely nuts. Giuliani further commented on the Hil-bonds, "But you know something? I've got news for you -- this costs money. It doesn't come from trees; it doesn't come down from heaven," later stating that this initiative would cost an estimated $20 billion a year.
Ok so Hillary later stated that it was "just an idea" and she threw it out there to generate "conversation." Meanwhile Giuliani was commenting on Hillary's likeness to Karl Marx....this is why I hate politics, or to be more fair, politicians. Giuliani proceeded to tout his successes in running buinesses, cities, and the state of new york, and I think thats great and all...but he gave me such a bad vibe. I don't trust him, what are the chances that after a 30 year career in controversial politics he has an ounce of morality and optimism left? Ok, thats a little harsh. Maybe it's the cheesy smile in this picture, I just flat out don't trust the guy.Well, I guess there goes my attempt at an impartial view of the presidential race.
I'll be objective. Here's Giuliani on the issues:
Abortion: supports abortion rights.
Immigration: supports providing a path to citizenship for some illegal immigrants, but not ahead of those in the system legally. Immigrants must pay back-taxes, penalties and learn English and American history before granted citizenship.

War in Iraq: opposed to setting a timetable for withdraw. Supports Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq, fears failure in Iraq will lead to broader regional conflict.
Same-sex marriage: wants to define marriage as man-woman, supports domestic partnerships and legal benefits.
Social Security: Supports private retirement accounts as part of social security, but not at the expense of guaranteed benefits
Taxes: basically same as Bush's current tax cuts
