A MESSAGE FROM YOU, RUDI!



I think this is a great excerpt from Rudolph Giuliani's RNC Speech.



"In choosing a president, we really don't choose a Republican or Democrat, a conservative or liberal. We choose a leader.



And in times of danger, as we are now in, Americans should put leadership at the core of their decision. There are many qualities that make a great leader but having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.



Winston Churchill saw the dangers of Hitler while his opponents characterized him as a warmongering gadfly.



Ronald Reagan saw and described the Soviet Union as "the evil empire" while world opinion accepted it as inevitable and belittled Ronald Reagan's intelligence.



President Bush sees world terrorism for the evil that it is. John Kerry has no such clear, precise and consistent vision. This is not a personal criticism of John Kerry. I respect him for his service to our nation."



Measured and balanced. And true. Well spoken, Rudi.
