The Global War Against Islamofascism-
Hillary Clinton: Announce the date of our surrender in Iraq, withdrawing our military forces leaving Iran to fill the power vacuum created by our retreat. Go on defense against terrorism. Use a law enforcement model to respond to terrorist attacks after they have occurred instead of engaging nations and groups which support and fund terrorism.
Rudy Giuliani: Stay on offense in the War on Terror. Weakness only encourages aggression. America is at war not because we want to be, but because the terrorists declared war on us, before the attacks of September 11th. Iraq is only one front in the larger war on terror. Failure there would lead to a broader and bloodier regional conflict in the near future.
Taxes and Spending-
Hillary Clinton: Eliminate the Bush Tax cuts. Instigate massive new tax burdens and regulation on the job creating sectors of the American economy as well as increased governmental spending.
Rudy Giuliani: Believes in supply-side economics, reducing capital gains taxes, and eliminating burdensome regulations on businesses that restrain growth like Sarbanes-Oxley. Would give the Death Tax the death penalty. Exercise fiscal discipline by controlling spending and cutting wasteful programs.
Health Care-
Hillary Clinton: Institute European-style socialized medicine that would reduce choice, ration health care, and would require the largest tax increase in the history of the United States to pay for. Take the decisions regarding one’s health care options away from patients and doctors and place them in the hands of a government bureaucracy.
Rudy Giuliani: Use the power of the free market to expand health care options in the form of Health Savings Accounts (HSA’s) which allow individuals to provide for the own health care (and make their own health care decisions) for a lifetime.
Gun Control-
Hillary Clinton: Their is no individual right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution. Enact laws that would severely restrict gun ownership at the federal level for every U.S. citizen.
Rudy Giuliani: The U.S. Constitution protects an individual’s right to bear arms. Gun control laws should be geared towards punishing criminals and should only be made at the lowest levels of government which are nearest to the people.
Abortion-
Hillary Clinton: Abortion is a right which is inherent to the U.S. Constitution. Tax dollars should be used to fund abortions in most cases at all levels of government. Pro-Choice litmus test for any potential Supreme Court nominee. Appoint Supreme Court Justices such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Personally Pro-Choice and committed to ensuring that her personal belief remains the law of the land.
Rudy Giuliani: Abortion is a right because that is the current status of the law as determined by the Supreme Court. There should be no changes to current law regarding federal funding of abortion (the Hyde Amendment) which only allows for federal funding in the cases of rape, incest, and life of the mother. It is an individual State’s decision as to whether to fund abortions with their own tax dollars. No litmus test for Supreme Court nominees. Appoint strict constructionist judges that will interpret the law and not legislate their personal beliefs from the bench. Nominate judges like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Although personally Pro-Choice, realizes that the judges he would appoint could potentially come to a decision that would restrict abortion rights.
