My take on Rudy in 2012

I have come to the conclusion that if Former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani enters the 2012 race for the GOP presidential nomination, it would be difficult for me not to vote for him. As Mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani cut taxes, reduced spending, reformed government, reduced crime rates, and reduced welfare rolls. These are not things I pulled out of thin air, they are fact. Rudy Giuliani turned a city's economy around as well as making it the safest large city in America, a place where people could feel safe and prosper. Mayor Giuliani understands the need to have an economy that grows in the private sector, he understands the need for fiscal disipline, and he understands the need for the United States to remain a military super power focused on keeping people safe at home and abroad. While many of the other republicans stray away from the "peace through strength" foreign policy, Rudy is not afraid to embrace this notion and he believes in American exceptionalism. Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Tim Pawlenty have good records on economic and fiscal issues, but Rudy has cut taxes more than the others and he led a city which had the 4th largest government in the nation and a population larger than 39 states. Rudy Giuliani did the best job turning a city around. Many social conservatives don't like Rudy Giuliani because he has socially moderate positions. I do not agree with the Mayor's position on abortion or even when he sued gun companies, but I do agree with his support for domestic partnership rights for same-sex couples. I also don't like the fact that as a Mayor, Rudy supported sanctuary for illegal aliens, but I also know that as a candidate in 2008, he put forth an immigration plan that secured the border, had no amnesty, and would have made those immigrating here learn English and American civics. Rudy Giuliani is a smart and talented indivisual who has a record of results. I believe he has the judgment, record, and vision to be President and he is, to me, the front-runner with regards of who I will be voting for.
