Agreed. Giuliani should not be president

Giuliani shouldn’t be president. I mean, he should but he shouldn’t. Giuliani, hero of 911, the man that resurrected Gotham city, will not be beat by a democrat. And it doesn’t even seem like he’ll be beat by a republican. He leads McCain with what the media calls a comfortable lead of 10%. Now, as a solid democrat centrist, I am pleased to report that the 2008 presidential election has pretty much been won already. The dems have great candidates and what’s better is that none of the republican front runners are egregious candidates. Could this be the same nation that elected bush in 2004 on this platform?

Rudy and Mitt Romney are socially liberal. McCain is almost a social liberal and is a man of great integrity and leadership philosophy. Newt, for all his conservatism and under handed politics, is a well read, well informed and very bright man. This is an election without a Bush.

So what’s the danger with Giuliani? He’s pro choice, doesn’t hate gays, and clearly is the man to beat out terrorists and illegal immigrants and their crime gangs. The problem is what he’ll do to the executive office if he gets a chance at it.

Yeah, he’s right. Regan managed to stand against the USSR without resorting to the likes of the patriot act, but if you thought that Bush went too far in hammering down civil liberties, wait till Rudy nabs his seat.

Because here’s the real danger with Rudy. The man will do what it takes to get results. He will take down and boss around. He’s tear the fuck out of the constitution, but he’ll make you like it. And Bush couldn’t do that. The media, the people, anyone with common sense keeps an eye on the Bush-Cheney crony machine. But Giuliani isn’t a slow thinking fake southerner. He’s too hard not to respect. That’s why he’s so popular amongst conservatives despite his social liberalism. Believe it, conservatives are willing to forgive his social liberalism in order to see someone take down illegal immigrants and terror threats and liberals will forgive his willingness to resort to authoritarian measures.

And really, it’s fine when it’s Giuliani. I’d vote Giuliani for dictator. I’m sure he’d be a competent one. The problem is, when it’s the person after Giuliani that inherits an office with greatly expanded executive powers. Because this person- he may be another Bush type. Hell, he could be Jeb Bush. And that would be a 4 years this country couldn’t handle.
