Giuliani On His "12 Commitments"

As you might know, I was once a huge Giuliani supporter until he refused to budge on abortion, which I thought made him all but unelectable and not a terribly serious candidate.

However, while Fred! may be our Great Grey Hope, he might fail. So it's important to keep the other guys -- Giuliani and Romeny -- in mind.

Giuliani did something pretty smart the other day. Taking a page from Gingrich's Contract For America, Giuliani revealed his "12 Commitments."

I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists' War on Us.

-I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.

-I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.

-I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.

-I will impose accountability on Washington.

-I will lead America towards energy independence.

-I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.

-I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.

-I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.

-I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

-I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.

-I will expand America's involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.

With the exception of his weak-tea position on abortion ("I will increase adoptions/appoint strict constructionist judges"), you have to admit, it's a pretty damn solid list of priorities. I like his accurate, if not exactly catchy, replacement of "the War on Terror" with "the Terrorists' War on Us," something he says all the time now. Good idea, but he needs to make it roll of the tongue better.

I badgered Allah into cutting these clips from his interview with Hannity. I think he presents himself very well; he's especially good on immigration, noting we can act now with the laws currently on the books to reduce illegal immigration by up to 98%. A tad overoptimistic, but it's the right idea.

He may not be ideal, but give him a listen. We can't put all of our eggs in one basket, even a kick-ass basket carried around by Fred! as he stalks and then kills the Easter Bunny, whom he considers "the true most dangerous game" as well as "the most delicious game."
